Ed002, just wondering if there's any update on Lukaku? Has a decision been made? Thanks =]

Luiz confirmed 48mil. How can I feel so happy, yet so sad. David David David David Luizzz, true blue. Good luck Sideshow Bob

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Indeed, good luck to David Luiz! Love that man, absolutely love him and wish him all the best (except of course when going up against chelsea). Hopefully buy a world class midfielder now, or at least one with world class potential. Pogba or Barkley please.

Agree0 Disagree0

Yeah, will miss him but it's a really good deal. I'd definitely pursue Kroos or Pogba.

Agree0 Disagree0

Ramsey could also be awesome, but don't think Arsenal would even think about selling to us.

Agree0 Disagree0

Ramsey's had part of a good year and before this year arsenal fans which bitch a fit about him. That said I hope this extra windfall from Luiz would help go for a player we previously might not have such as pogba or ideally shaw.

Agree0 Disagree0

I agree. It feels sort of the same as when we sold Mata. I'm extremely sad but we have to be pleased with the money we are getting for him. A great character who showed great love and passion for the club. Many forget his crucial penalty in Munich! Good luck for the future David. Top quality Geezer!

With the sale of Luiz looking imminent it got me thinking how much we could potentially receive from sales of players this summer. It is clear that many players on the fringes of the squad are likely to be sold such as: Davila, Kakuta, Marin, Romeu, McEachran, Bertrand, Moses just to name a few. Selling those unneeded players could bring in approx £17.5m. Add to that the sales of Torres, Mikel, Ba, Luiz and possibly Ramires who combined will fetch us approx £105m, plus the release of players on big wages such as Eto'o, Lampard, Cole, Schwarzer and Hilario, we could potentially get £122.5m just from transfer sales this summer, plus lower the wage bill considerably. This would mean we can easily spend big this summer and add around 5 quality additions without worrying about financial fair play.

MB if Chelsea sells Hazard, Oscar and Willian plus Luiz, the club can look at 250m£ plus club can spend 60-70m£ without breaking FFP. Plus money after releasing Cole, Lamps and some others we are talking about 350-360m£ which is about 420-440m€.

I simply can't believe in such scenario.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed018's Note - I don't think you are gonna see Hazard, Oscar and Willian sold this summer.}

£17.5m seems small for Marin, Moses, Bertrand and Romeu etc.

Agree0 Disagree0

I am 100% sure chelsea aren't going to sell either Hazard or Willian. I think the reason we were considering selling Oscar was in case we needed to raise funds but with the sale of Luiz that is looking unlikely now.

Agree0 Disagree0

Ed018 me neither.
PSG plans to sell Moura, Pastore and Lavezzi to fond summer transfer window.
You can bet they're coming for Hazard with Cavani+30-40m€ in cash. PSG might also try to sign Oscar with hefty offer.

Evra has signed a 1 year deal might end utds shaw deal

eds, with PSG failing FFP rules, how can then afford to pay £45m for david luiz. According to ssn he is close to completing a move.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

{Ed018's Note - I would have to think they will have to sell to fund any moves. So the likes of Lavezzi, Pastore maybe Cavani might be on the move this summer}

Straight swap Cavani for Luiz. YES PLEASE.

We better sign world class CM now Luiz is all bit gone, I want us to be linked with the best now, Vidal pogba draxler Kroos Fabregas maybe modric Barkley ( potential )

Believable0 Unbelievable0

I'd go for Barkley, Pogba, Vidal or Koke. Perhaps Pjanic but haven't seen him play that many times, so can't really comment. But any of those first 5 I'd be thrilled with.

Agree0 Disagree0

Rakitic or Barkley. No need to spend £40m+ on Vidal or Pogba. The money could be better spent in other areas of the side, and we have some great youth coming through in Central Midfield who I would like to see get a chance.

Agree0 Disagree0

Pogba or Vidal for me. Barkley isn't a proven stud like those two are and if you're going to argue that just spare me the time.

Agree0 Disagree0

Once Torres and Ba gone mikel and few others of get costa deal done and announced, then go for another world class striker, get lukaku and Bamford so like city they have the 4 strikers all capable, and sign Felipe Luis, get this CM in, rakitic with Marin going other way to save the pennies, then Vidal is a must for me, and if were being greedy. Barkley too lol

Agree0 Disagree0

Ed 02 said that the deal with Moreno meets financial problem right now. Maybe Sevilla asked more than Chelsea expected. Furthermore, with the surprising revenue from the sale of Luiz and 1 year extended in Evra contract in MU. I think maybe Chelsea will reconsider about Shaw case. I hope. I also like him.

Agree0 Disagree0

Courtois back, sign shaw, mangela, Vidal, costa, and boom win the prem by 10 points! If only

Believable0 Unbelievable0

We won't go for Shaw as ed said don't need Mangala if we get a new left back cause azpi goes to rb and Ivanovic back to his best opinion CB in my opinion with good youngsters like Kalas and Zouma backup van Aanholt backup for LB. I agree with Vidal though or Kroos would mind song on the cheap as a backup for Matic.

Agree0 Disagree0

No wonder why we never bring any one through the ranks. For one why do we need shaw or mangala? We have van aanholt, and is rather see kalas and zouma behind Cahill and terry next season! South want 30 million for shaw and Porto want 40 mill for mang. Is shaw really 30 million pounds better than Patrick? No chance. We got azpilicueta for 7 million. If we pay more than 10-12 million for shaw, he ain't worth it!

Agree0 Disagree0

If u honestly think shaw ain't worth 30 mil then you need to have a word with yourself.
Quick, strong in the tackle, good defensively, good delivery, English, Chelsea fan, got 10 / 15 years ahead of him at the top level and potentially better than cole at his peek. Don't need to be Steven Hawkin to work the mathes out.
I think we need shaw, Barkley and a centre forward or 2, looks like costa but he's not for me, he's Kevin Davis having a good season :)

Agree0 Disagree0

Yeah blueboy I commonly agree with you but 30m is cheap when you consider he's homegrown (would be club trained if we sign him since he's got over three years to get the three years at the club by the age of 21), was the best player at his position in the league (proven commodity), he's 18, a fan of the club (which for me is important), would prevent him from going to a prem rival, is built well for the league (6'1" and very mobile), and when you consider the costs of alternatives (20m+ for moreno) it's absolutely worth it. I'm a huge pva fan but he was dropped 2/3 of the way through the season by vitesse which regardless of potential politics involved tells me he isn't ready.

French newspaper saying falcao could leave and
CFC interested, I know ed said interest has moved away but he is the man we need, deadly in box,

Believable0 Unbelievable0

23 May 2014 13:17:14
Yeah not any more, he is probably crocked. So moving on.

Agree0 Disagree0

I think he's 29, he was never mobile, is rushing of an acl injury, and to really sweeten the pot he would be expensive. I'll pass.

Agree0 Disagree0

23 May 2014 12:34:47
I'm a huge fan of luiz, but his not quite a cb and not quite the CM we need and talk of £50m deal is money for the world class CM we want, pogba Vidal Kroos etc, also some good news, if luiz is worth what is reported what about Oscar and hazard! Maybe sell ramires too, how much do we think for him? Huge clear out I think, Torres ba luiz kaktuta eto'o cole Marin Moses mikel Bertrand

Demba Ba came out yesterday saying that Mou had 'asked him to stay'. Personally I don't think he is good enough to play for us and it's hard to see Ba, Costa (or if we sign a different striker) and Lukaku in the same squad. Perhaps i'm reading too much into this but this could mean Lukaku could be leaving us - I don't understand why the club would let this happen though. Our team is crying out for a striker, Lukaku ticks all the boxes at the age of 21 and the club seems to prefer Demba? Hmmmmm

Believable0 Unbelievable0

I don't think that Lukaku is player to leave. Since Ba came out publicly that he isn't going anywhere it could only mean that Chelsea has found club to sell Torres to. Ba, Lukaku and D.Costa are very look a like type of players. Tall, physical hold up type of CF.

Agree0 Disagree0

I think that's why he's saying it doesn't make sense. Having three identical strikers is not a smart move. I really would be fine if we had costa, lukaku, and a combination of schurrle and solanke (who isn't old enough for a loan) with bamford to be loaned so he can be he main man at a championship club.

Agree0 Disagree0

i've heard that David Luiz will join PSG for £50m. That money is crazy for a player that's hardly played any games and second choice. Take the money and go out and get a proper striker!

Believable0 Unbelievable0

The £50m is including his wages. It would be £30m and £20m in wages of his contract.

Agree0 Disagree0

I think the price seems steep but I doubt we'd sell him for £30m with all the interest in him. €50m makes more sense to me as it would be more around £42ish which would be in his proper value range.
