Not sure about us signing thiago. Don't see the point really considering we have mata and Oscar, who are better IMO.

But, I have seen barely any of him so if anyone could tell me his play style/favoured position and if he would be worth buying.

Jordan

Mata is the only natural CAM mid we have and Oscar is very versatile.

Thiago brings us that something special in the pivot.

Really hope he signs.

Thiago is essentially Xavi mk. 2. In other words, a natural fit for the pivot/deep lying playmaker role. Completely different player from Mata and would compliment Oscar ahead of him. I'm resigned to us not getting him but would be over the moon if we did.

Imagine the options of playing styles with ramires, lamps, essien, van ginkel, alcantara, mceachran, luiz.

Barcelona will rather sell Fabregas than Thiago.

Chelsea will sign v. Ginkel Thiago isn't really an option. Signings will be Schurrle- (already done), Ruddy, van Ginkel, Shaw (will stay at Soton next season), one more striker (Rooney, Cavani or Lewandowski.





)

Some of u fans tickle me, stop putting Josh Mcechran in your future prediction squads because although we own him he will never. ever. be a regular at Chelsea. He is not good enough, just let it go.

He is only 20 mate.

I agree, he is not good enough. At 20 you should be in the first team if good enough

Ed is it true we have launched a bid for Kondogbia. The president of seville says they require a £6m transfer fee as they own 50% of the player, a following 50% is owned by 3rd party ownership which would be another £6m.

Is this true at all Ed and do you see making a real push to acquire him this transfer window.

PB1989 {Ed018's Note - lets wait and see what happens over the next few days}

Now i'm excited and by know means does that mean I will abuse you if we don't get him ha

Hope the ownership issues and the supposed Real Madrid interest won't cause any problems.

Thanks for answering Ed {Ed018's Note - there are a lot of teams interested in him and I'm not saying He will end up at Chelsea}

I completely understand Ed thank you for the reply

Looking ino release fee for cavani and think it might actually be 70 not 63. 63 would be for Napoli with 10% going to former club.

Adl quote from march: The clause exists, though, and if some nutter is willing to pay �70m for him, which would mean a net fee of �63m for Napoli, we are ready to listen to the offer.

Hi Ed, do you think we could make a bid for lewondowski when the transfer window opens? Or is Bayern his only destination?
Cheers

Marin is wack. he had game time just did nothing in that time to deserve more. most people who rate marin think moses is shocking now that's a joke

Marin loaned to Sevilla to take navas's game time. Great move for the club and maybe something to do with Kondogbia or Negredo, who knows?

Agree with steve on this the conditions last night had ahuge effect. and spain were dreadful he's the only one who was looking for a killer ball or attacking his man. on the spanish team of course italy done ok

We need a proper holding midfielder and De Rossi will be good. He'll give us another 3-5yrs before replacement.

Mcechran will never ever make it at chels he ain't good enough

We will not get lowandaski he want bayern we only need 1 world class striker and that is cavani for me. Greedy presidant much drop the asking price a little

Steve mourinho stated in 2 interviews he meets the players for the 1st time on the 10th july
