Edinson Cavani

Aren't Baker and Nat confirmed to be loan bound?

Chalobah likely, Baker looks to be part of the squad though.

Yeah, I think we can safely say that it's not gonna happen. I know José usually lies when he's talking about transfer business but after just watching his interview on Sky he seems pretty genuine and assertive that Torres won't be sold and that having 3 strikers is essential for us.

Torres is just unsellable.

Romeu ahead of Mikel all day for me.

Even if we do manage to sell Torres, I really can't see the club spending £40/£50m on someone that won't even have a starting spot guaranteed.

True. If we do make any other signings I highly doubt it'll be up top.

Torres reminds me of Jerry Seinfelds car when it gets the bad odour. We can't even give him away.

I think we have to start giving a new signings a shorter length of contract. Maybe around 3 years would be perfect. If the player turns good, we will extend the contract with deserve payrise. If not working, release them for free. No more 5.5 years of hell again like Torres.

We should not sign players like Torres again...

Willian was a starter pretty much since december. Tbh, Mata leaving wasn't a coincidence and José looked at our options when he joined and wasn't satisfied. He liked his players in good physical shape for his high pressing game (wich is his target). That's also a main reason why KDB had to go (got dispossed easily when pressed), and why Schürrle spent most of the season upping his physique.

[cadenza666 221]

why move from one side that plays him on the wing to one where he might have to rotate to play from the bench. but if we really are going to play with 2 strikers then a possibility

[BlueLion. 21,491]

Cech

Mikel

Romeu (loan)

Torres

Exactly, the loan option is something people are forgetting.

José has said Torres won't be sold. Doesn't mean we can't farm him off on loan somewhere and pay half his wages.

seen a fella say the other day that we could afford to let torres go for free and the savings on wages alone would contribute massively to ffp

Torres (Chelsea) ---> AS Monaco

Falcao (AS Monaco) ---> Real Madrid

Di Maria (Real Madrid) ---> PSG

Cavani (PSG) ---> Chelsea

Maybe too good to be true,,but it's very best scenario. just poor for Monaco...

It looks like it could be happening! [emoji16]

Most likely BS though I'd be very surprised if we got him.

Crazier things have happened.

[Special Juan 27,421]

Oh please let it be.

No, calm yourself it isn't happening
