Use our rumours form to send us chelsea transfer rumours.

It certainly looks likely at least 1 if not even both of Salah and Schurrle will move on in January. Let's say Schurrle does leave to Wolsfburg for 30m €. Surely the club would buy a replacement immediately? and surely this replacement will be Cuadrado? I mean, he's the only top RW available (35m€) and is even CL eligible? Surely?

{Ed002's Note - Chelsea will not buy simply because a player is available for the CL.}

Schurle and Salah not even making bench now. I think they are both off this window

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Don't think so mate. Every team needs depth. We'd have no back up to Hazard and Willian if those 2 left.

Agree0 Disagree0

Exactly J. So who comes in?

Agree0 Disagree0

Haha think you misunderstood what I was implying ;-)
Really don't believe both would leave right now. I've got my doubts over even one of them leaving.
Your question is a good one though, as I don't know many players that would be adequate replacements for that right wing. And the ones I can think of, Chelsea has shown no interest in. I'd personally love for Traore to be given a shot next season if one of them were to leave.

Agree0 Disagree0

Two words Jack, Marko Reus. Get him in there. Imagine a team of Matic, Fabregas, Pogba, Reus, Hazard and Costa. Queue evil laugh ( ha ha ha ha) We will destroy every one in our path.

Agree0 Disagree0

I should've known someone would mention Reus :-P however, I still maintain my belief that he won't join us. It'll be Bayern or Madrid IMO.
Alternatives for me are Lucas Moura and Griezmann (though Griezmann is quite impossible to get since he only just moved). We've shown no interest in Moura I believe so that's a no go as well. Bale could obviously be a good addition but he'd cost an insane amount of money and we're probably not interested anyway. Depay is a star in the making but again we've shown no interest I think.
Koke perhaps if the club see him as a player who can perform further up the pitch.
Seeing how many names I've just mentioned, there are a decent amount of players who could get IMO.
However, I don't think the club has the same beliefs as I do so they won't leave I think :)

Agree0 Disagree0

I agree Reus would be a great signing and I've said Bale on here a few times. Of the players on loan, Traore looks to be the one showing most promise but I think his loan is all season!

Agree0 Disagree0

ELI your dream is wonderful! Pogba, Reus amazing!

Agree0 Disagree0

I know right mn. In a perfect world we would get them both to complete the team, in an almost perfect world we'll get both.

In reality on the other hand yeah not looking very plausible. Here is to hoping.

Horrible news, guys. Junior Malanda (Belgian player of Wolfsburg) died in a car accident. An utter tragedy, especially since he was so young.
Thoughts go out to his family and loved ones. May he rest in peace.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

RIP Junior Malanda.
Wonderful young talent and condolences to his family, friends and team-mates.
A great shame and something that puts everything into perspective.

Agree0 Disagree0

RIP to him, he was a great Talent, taken way too early.

Agree0 Disagree0

Only 20 years old and a huge talent. He died eay too early, condolences to his family and friends

Good win and a good day with City dropping points aswell! Will be interesting to see the extent of Azpi's injury, another injury/suspension for Ivan or Felipe will give Jose something to think about

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Everton getting that draw was a very welcome sight indeed :)

Agree0 Disagree0

Congrats to every poster on here for calling for Zouma. He looked really good and what a leap he has on him.
Definitely deserves a run beside Jt.

We might not have a degree in the game but we sure do live it enough to see some little tweaks.:)

We're top of the league and it has nothing to do with the alphabet. Come on Chelsea!

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Zouma Definitely guy more comfortable as the game went on.

Zouma next game for sure! Although Terry got beaten pretty badly twice in the first half.

Agree0 Disagree0

Zouma was excellent, didn't mess around. Doesn't need to start every game for me, but I hope he can start a league game here and there.
Up the Blues!

Agree0 Disagree0

He's certainly given Jose something to think about.

Agree0 Disagree0

Zouma definitely showed he's more than capable of starting in the league. There were a few iffy moments in the first half but the whole team was poor to be fair. There was also a moment near the end with a challenge that was a bit clumsy and not really required. But overall he was great, playing alongside Terry gives us much needed pace and he can learn more about the tactical side from him. Also he seems assured on the ball from the few runs he made with the ball which is a plus.

Agree0 Disagree0

Great win today. First half was poor, but big improvement in the second half. Hazard very good IMO, even without scoring or assisting. Great run of form for him.
Hopefully Azpi's injury isn't too serious though, wish him a quick recovery.
On a different note, just read that Tyrone Mings is 6 foot 5! That's very imposing, especially for a full back. Heard good things about him and I'm kind of hoping we can put a deal together for him and loan him till the end of the season. Luis isn't exactly young and we all know Jose likes a big, strong full back ala Ivanovic.

Bring on the next game. Onwards and upwards!

PS: please get Pogba (or the next Pogba, Souici or something haha).

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Haha I hope we get Mings too, I've totally forgot about him over last few weeks.

And lol to the pogba thing. Give me the real pogba over the 'next one' anyday, we all know what happened to the Egyptian and German Messi's .

Agree0 Disagree0

Never write off the German Messi! :-P
It'd be good to get Mings because he's also English, we need more of those. And I like physical specimens. Just look at Zouma, his athletic ability is a joy to behold :)
Of course I agree with you, the real Pogba over any other midfielder any day of the week. Think I'd be smiling non-stop for about a week if we got him.

Agree0 Disagree0

A clean sheet, a goal for Diego Costa and 3 points

Along with city dropping points?

GET IN

10 Jan 2015 16:17:50
Get in! Now let's finish this game off.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Great buildup play

Terrible first half. Players looked like they lost confidence. We were lucky.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

10 Jan 2015 15:43:15
Credit to Willian! That goal was him.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Time for the hair dryer, Jose

Agree0 Disagree0

10 Jan 2015 15:50:47
Not a great first half, but I'll take the 1-0. Smart thinking for the goal.

Agree0 Disagree0

Much better 2nd half - the hair dryer worked. Loving Zouma - faultless again.

Agree0 Disagree0

10 Jan 2015 15:42:55
Thank god for that. Caps off one of the worst halfs I've seen from us ever. So relieved

Believable0 Unbelievable0

10 Jan 2015 15:42:16
Let's get Remy on there!

Believable0 Unbelievable0

10 Jan 2015 15:37:59
Azpillicueta injured now! Shoulda went off when he felt his groin the first time, not he's probably going to be out for a month or so.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Yeah, but at least we still have Filipe Luís

Agree0 Disagree0

10 Jan 2015 14:25:58
Glad zouma's starting over Cahill but I don't know why Courtois isnt. He's done nothing wrong. Personally I would of prefer to seen Ivanovic and Oscar dropped with Filipe Luis and Ramires coming in then move Cesc to no.10. Oscars starting to get really inconsistent and I don't like it.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

10 Jan 2015 14:39:56
Courtois has a broken thumb, I've just read, so he'll be out for a while.

Agree0 Disagree0

10 Jan 2015 14:13:58
Zouma starts!! So happy for the lad

I'm predicting 4-0

Believable0 Unbelievable0

10 Jan 2015 14:27:11
We're due a big, big win and we haven't had one yet. Surely we will get a 6 niller sooner or later.

Agree0 Disagree0

A must win game today, and hope that Everton do us a favour.

Agree0 Disagree0

Yep! C'mon agent Lukaku and Eto'o!

Agree0 Disagree0

10 Jan 2015 12:25:35
Got a feeling we might just hijack this bony deal you know

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Rather hoping for icardi to be honest from what I've seen he's got a bit of class about him reminds me of eidur gudjohnson

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed002's Note - As I have explained, an issue has come up. I would, for now, not hold your breath.}

10 Jan 2015 13:46:20
What about bony ed I know there more chance he going city but I just get that feeling him or his agent hanging for other offers

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed002's Note - What?}

10 Jan 2015 10:08:29
It is so obvious we are not going to sign any player in January.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Why it is 'so obvious' exactly? We know bids have been made and targets decided so I don't see any truth in your statement. The signings might be dealt with now and join in the summer but that is to be expected. Ridiculous statement barely one week into the January Window.

Agree0 Disagree0

Chelsea will sign some new players in summer. Mourinho is happy with current squad. There is nothing ridiculous about it.
