Chelsea banned for TWO transfer windows

[Superblue 6,372]

A couple of loan signings in January wouldn't be a bad shout, if it stops us paying over the odds before the summer market.

Somebody earlier today mentioned Jovic on a loan with an option to buy and I think that would be a cracking shout. If he can recapture anything like his Frankfurt form from last season he would be a potentially superb addition to compete with Tammy.

I also heard on the radio earlier that Rakitic might push for a loan move in January prior to the Euros. We have three top midfielders at the club but it's already been seen this season that we're one injury away from looking incredibly thin and a couple having to work overtime. If somebody with that level of class and experience is available just as a short term option we should definitely consider it.

Loan signing especially from overseas in January is a horrible idea. By the time he get used to the league, he is gone. 

Real won't let Jovic go unless we give them crazy money.

Much less horrible idea than wasting money in January when potentially our prime targets aren't available so instead we're settling on second or third choice options.

Both are terrible idea,that is why you see very little movement in January window from most teams.

We should get Ousmane Dembele on a bargain Im sure Barca are looking to offload. He could thrive with Pulisic. They already have a great partnership from his BVB days.

Quite honestly the worst professional about

You do realize he's become injury prone, right? This is his injury record since the start of 2017/18 season...

We couldn't, if a player signed for us during the ban they'd have been stuck solely training for five months ala Turan. To loan a player out they have to be registered to play.

Correct of course but nothing to prevent us simply making a binding agreeing to sign a player after what would have been the end of the transfer ban. Technically different to a buy and loan back, but effectively the same.
