Allegedly MVG refused to join Milan. He wants to stay and fight for his place . That's a spirit.

Good for him to have that spirit but the problem is the game time which he will receive

Agree0 Disagree0

Take note mr lukaku.

Does anyone think we should be looking at Welbeck as our 3rd striker - Homegrown, works hard, prepared to be a squad player.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

He's a squad player at United, and isn't that why perhaps he'd want a move?
It's not a bad option as 2nd or 3rd choice. But I'd rather the club would look to Vela.

Agree0 Disagree0

27 Aug 2014 17:24:25
I hope you are joking Manchester United rejects at our beloved club? :D

Agree0 Disagree0

27 Aug 2014 17:31:16
100% no.

Agree0 Disagree0

Hahahahaha

Agree0 Disagree0

Welbeck is better option than Destro, so I don't see what's to wonder about? Destro is 4th or 5th option striker in Italian squad.

Agree0 Disagree0

I'm going to be honest and haven't seen destro play but hopefully we do sign him as he's young and will be an improvement on Torres.

You get these people judging players on a few appearances and chn I believe you are doing exactly that. Instead why don't we wait and see if he does come to chelsea and at mid way through the season or at the end of the season the people that haven't seen him play already can share their opinions on how we think he has done.

^^ just my opinion but think it's the best way

Agree0 Disagree0

27 Aug 2014 20:44:25
I'd rather have 4th/5th choice striker for Italy than 3rd/4th choice striker for England. Welbeck may not have had the opportunity to play upfront much but from what I've seen he can't finish to save his life.

Agree0 Disagree0

I simply don't fall for exotic names . I would prefer Welbeck as proven English international. Also I prefer second choice player to 4th choice player.
And the most important thing is that Torres has to accept move.

Agree0 Disagree0

One more thing. Why would Chelsea pay 25m€ for lower ranked player than Balotelli 20m€-LFC, Imobille 18m€-BVB or Cerci still available if Chelsea is so desperately looking to sign Italian striker.

Agree0 Disagree0

27 Aug 2014 21:30:02
I'd rather be 10th choice in Italian squad then have any embarrassment of being in our petty English squad. No offence destro is a decent player, works hard.

Agree0 Disagree0

Apparently he had a fantastic season last season, I believe he was Roma's top scorer, and Roma were strong.
Welbeck is overrated because he plays for Man U, he is not good, We need to move Torres on, and Destro is 23, he will push Costa and provide better cover.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed018's Note - I agree. I haven't seen much of Destro but I trust Chelsea know what they are doing here. I don't want Welbeck anywhere near Chelsea. Not near good enough}

27 Aug 2014 22:12:46
Come on guys don't be joking about Welbeck its same as me saying should we sign Cleverley an Smalling as our defender and midlefielder as they plays for england and are 2nd choices

Agree0 Disagree0

27 Aug 2014 23:40:33
Sorry Chn but what world do you live in. Welbeck is not 2nd choice for England. In fact I can't even remember a game where Welbeck has played up top. Rooney, Sturridge and even Lambert have all been preferred to him.
And to your other point about why we didn't go for other Italian strikers, what's the point in having even the world's best striker if he doesn't fit into our system. I trust that JM and the Chelsea staff have scouted and found the player that they feel will come in, adapt well to the league and also fit into the system and style of football we want to play.

Agree0 Disagree0

Obviously your memory doesn't serve you well. What makes you think that Destro will fit in? Especially now when allegedly D.Costa is out for six weeks. Is this soap opera going to end?

Agree0 Disagree0

CHN, I have a small but wondrous piece of advice for you. Do not believe everything you read in the press.

Agree0 Disagree0

28 Aug 2014 15:15:40
Instead of saying I have a faulty memory why not actually state a time and game when Welbeck has started up front. I have no idea if Destro will fit in. But I trust Chelsea and JM, and they obviously believe he will.
Also 99.9% of the things you've said have turned out to be BS.

Agree0 Disagree0

I see 1 reasonable argument fron chn point of view. Balotelli is just 20mil, why would we buy Destro for more than that if Balotelli was the first choice in Italian squad. The problem about our strike force is so obvious, Chelsea must have solved it long time before this happened.

Agree0 Disagree0

27 Aug 2014 16:40:59
Ed do Chelsea have any interest in Gundagon? I feel he'd be an ideal signing to replace Mikel (if he should leave) and will cost significantly less than what has been quoted for Pogba and Carvalho. Plus he's still quite young

Believable0 Unbelievable0

27 Aug 2014 19:07:17
I'd doubt it very much. He's been out for the best part of a year with a serious injury and you never know how a player will recover. He has also put on a lot of weight.

Agree0 Disagree0

I hope we've learned never to buy a player who's returning from injury: see Shevchenko; see Torres!

Agree0 Disagree0

27 Aug 2014 14:23:45
WTF most of people here knows about Mattia Destro and who or what gives you a guarantee that he isn't going to be flop at PL. I regular watchpItalian league and I can am.sure it's far away from league that it's use to be. Actually it's on championship le vel.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

{Ed018's Note - what's your point}

Do you think chelsea panic buy? I don't think so seeing what they done with 3 world class players before anyone even had a chance to get involved it was fantastic! They have obviously done homework on destro!

Agree0 Disagree0

This transfer window up to now was maybe the best transfer window Chelsea had in decade. D.Costa and Fabregas are signings on Lampard and Drogba signing. Point is that there is no guarantee that player which comes from another league won't be a flop especially when player comes from overrated league.

Agree0 Disagree0

So again chn what's your point?

Really can't see what your on about there is no guarantee any player would make it. There is an atom of risk in every signing. Don't be a kill joy mate, sure the club know what they are doing, or would you prefer Torres?
I thought so and next time take a deep breath before posting.

Agree0 Disagree0

27 Aug 2014 17:32:16
Any striker coming in can't be worse than Torres, so where is the risk? :)

Agree0 Disagree0

That's your opinion though chn, chelsea obviously share a different opinion on the player & after all they have one of the best scouting teams in the world so I trust what they do & support any player who puts the shirt on, unfortunately Torres has had ample opportunities to score goals & he just can't do it for us anymore

Agree0 Disagree0

27 Aug 2014 20:47:58
chn not sure what your point is. Torres had already adapted to the PL and was one of the best strikers when we bought him and he flopped. (Might have been down to other factors) but just because they're used to the PL doesn't make them good.

Agree0 Disagree0

Guys, D.Costa was planned buy, Destro looks like panic buy if Torres decide to leave which doesn't look like he wants.

Agree0 Disagree0

27 Aug 2014 23:43:34
How can Destro be a panic buy if Torres DOESN'T want to leave? Surely it would only be a panic buy if Torres wanted out. That way we'd only be left with 2 strikers and we'd be scrambling for a 3rd. If we're pushing Torres out the door, then the club have been planning his replacement and therefore it's not a panic buy. Simples.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed018's Note - don't bother, this is the same guy who thought we were or should sell Hazard this summer}

Aye ED I should just ignore him, but the sheer ignorance/naivety annoys me so much, especially because everytime I come on here he's posted some new BS.

Agree0 Disagree0

28 Aug 2014 15:23:57
Not long ago he was eating out of joses hand when he kept insisting nobody will be sold.

Agree0 Disagree0

27 Aug 2014 12:29:48
I hope we only loan van ginkel and not sell him. Hopefully Torres goes too, think he'd be brilliant in serie A, and if cech does leave then good luck to him., what a legend, also if falcao goes to Madrid I wonder if benzema will like being number 2,

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Benzema just signed a new deal this summer, from what looks to be happening torres and van ginkel are off to milan and destro comes in, I think that is it for chelsea this summer.

Agree0 Disagree0

27 Aug 2014 13:15:13
Would much more prefer if mvg got premier league loan. Even to club like leicester where he can definatelly be a starter

Agree0 Disagree0

2 out, 2 in - Van Ginkel on loan, Torres sold or on loan - Destro, Carvalho in - that's the aim.

Agree0 Disagree0

27 Aug 2014 11:21:14
Ed002 .

On.another page I believe u said. chelsea might move for carvalho only depends on another player . would that be van ginkel.going on loan?

Cheers

RE. winning premier league. Look what's just happened to Giroud. We surely still need a striker back up for Costa beyond Drogba and Torres (who may well go anyway). Hope we get some good news on Destro or someone of that standard before end of transfer window.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

27 Aug 2014 13:13:44
What's good about our team is that goals come from everywhere. And in worst case scenario we have torres but I much more prefer to put ivanovic up top than torres at least he would show some pation

Agree0 Disagree0

27 Aug 2014 08:07:47
Alright, guys, I think it's time the club get that British transfer record back. Pogba for a little over 60m and it's ours once more!

Believable0 Unbelievable0

27 Aug 2014 07:28:41
ed002/ed018, is it possible that we'll complete the transfer of Destro this week? thanks.
