The Skipper 20,609 Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 Essien, Lampard, Van Ginkel, Ramires, De Rossi, Chalobah, McEachran.Possibly Oscar and Luiz.Mikel still has value if we sold him, Essien probably doesn't but he can probably give us two more seasons of service whilst the likes of Nat develop. As for the price, £15 million is two Azpis, one Lukaku or the combined cost of Courtois, De Bruyne and Kalas.Do we need £15m though? Do we need to sell in order to buy? No. There's no point in reducing the quality in midfield when we don't need the money to reinvest into another player. If you're looking to obtain some cash then just look at the Cavani case; if rumours are correct we were going to spend at least £40m on Cavani. The money saved from that can be used to bring in more players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To me, that midfield is massively better simply through the acquisition of De Rossi and the coaching of Mourinho.At the moment I'd have four players ahead of him (Lamps, Essien, De Rossi, Ramires), plus I'd still want Nat and Van Ginkel to get time to learn their trade. Add in Loftus-Cheek in League Cup games and I'm not entirely sure where Mikel fits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Add in Loftus-Cheek in League Cup games and I'm not entirely sure where Mikel fits. I think that in the actual DM spot mikel would be behind de rossi and nobody else. He's alot better than essien in his role, is better than chalobah (who i think would benefit from guarenteed consistent games somewhere else) and is a whole lot better than lamps defensively who tends to leave us exposed sometimes. and ramires more attacking and making him hold would take away his best aspect with his speed.I am one who thinks that we need one midfielder holding so mikel and de rossi would easily be the best two for that position for us. That's why it would be reducing the quality of our midfield. Yes, it has improved this summer so far, but selling mikel would reduce it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chelsea? 892 Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 I actually don't think we need anymore signings. I don't see any player that'll win us the CL and I think our current squad is good enough for the EPL tittle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leif 6,006 Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 ^^^ That's yet another (FUCKING) fake quote which was captioned alongside the clearly (jokingly) put together picture of De Rossi at an airport. Not coming back in this thread now til the season starts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
