How highly does everyone rate Isaiah Brown? I've read he's been excellent at U21 level. Also, it seems he's being deployed as a striker. Could be an interesting choice as we currently already have loads of wingers and only Lukaku can be considered a striker who'll be here in the future. Physically, he seems pretty strong already (at 16 years old?) so it could be a shrewd move to develop him into a striker. {Ed018's Note - don't forget about Feruz}

That's true Ed, I didn't think of him. Seeing as he was went along on the Asia tour, I'll assume the club rate him highly as well.

Feruz is not good enough and will not be playing for Chelsea.

Saw him play at alders hot a few weeks back v spurs and he looked a good prospect. Confident and quick not afraid to shoot.

Izzy Brown has been fantastic so far. In an interview with Neil Bath on CTV, it was mentioned that it was felt that his best position would be as a striker, something the player is in agreement with.

Galatasaray have stated they value Burak Yilmaz at €13 million. Not a bad price I'd say and certainly the prolific target man that we could do with

For that kind of investment must be worth a shot with limited other options.

Team I would like to see. Cech. Dave. Luiz. Terry. Cole. Van Ginkle. Oscar. Willian. Mata. Hazard. Lukaku
With Ramiries or Essien replacing Oscar in the '2' against the powerful sides like man city

Don't u think you should put one more defender to complete your 11

Too many attacking players mate. Not enough balance, mind on paper that's still a fantastic team

Apart from Dave dunno who that is.

Dave is Azpilicueta.

I thought Dave Mustaine

So let me get this right!

Attacking mids in our club are as follows:

Mata, Oscar, Hazard, Moses, Willian, KDB and Schrrle. And now Astu pending conformation.

On Loan:

Piazon, T.Hazard, Cuaves, Marin, Billy Clifford, George Saville, Kakuta.

Anyone I've missed?

Is there any chance what so ever for our promising youngsters?

Marin and Kakuta will probably be sold and Saville and Cuevas are not attacking mildfielders.

Moses, Clifford, Saville, Marin and kKkuta will all be sold this season or next.

Piazon, T Hazard, Atsu, Cuevas will all go on loan this year if they haven't already.

Yet another winger in atsu such a strange player recruitment policy this summer although the price is a bargain it's arguably the last possible area we need more depth.

May I ask how serious chelsea's interest in Varane is ed002? {Ed002's Note - Measured how? I have explained the situation - there is no more.}

Do any of the eds have any idea when the bids will go in for either rooney or martinez. I no before you said you can't predict when the clubs are going to do it but just wondered if you may of heard anything. Hope it doesn't go down to last day. Many thanks
