Team I would love to see for next year or hopefully this year.

Cech

VDW. Luiz. Terry. A.Cole

Modric

Ramires
Kaka

Hulk/Pato. Torres. Neymar

Believable1 Unbelievable8

I think in the time left that many changes to the starting line up would be too City-esque and back fire on us majorly. With more time, though, probably a team that could challenge on all fronts if we had a good bench.

Agree0 Disagree0

Cech
Ivanovic Luiz Terry cole Mcearchan/ramires Modric
Lampard
Sturridge Torres Hopefully a good winger

Agree0 Disagree0

Cech
VDW Luiz/Ivanovic Terry Cole
Ramires Lampard
Kaka/Modric
Malouda/Strurridge Torres Pato/Neymar

I don't think Malouda will end up being sold by the end of this window and I can't see us spending big on more than 2-3 new players .

Agree0 Disagree0

Is that a 4-1-1-1-3???

Agree0 Disagree0

I dont think malouda or anelka will be there.

Agree0 Disagree0

Anelka, zhirkov and alex, unfortunately, will be the only players leaving.

From todays rumor news it ic clear chelsea will offer tottenham for modric with 35m plus.Also we might try to get kaka for 25m n even we wl offload kalou or anelka or even both to ac milan plus cash around 20m for Pato.
personally i feel modric is good player n he surely deserves playing campions league in chelsea shirt. But looking at the prize tag 35m i still feel he isnt worth for it....he could get max 25m. But right now it us chelsea who needs him the most.
Kaka well he has shown his best 2 years before with recent injuries he is struggling to get first team football in real madrid. he is now 29 yrs old n if he is physically fit then he can give his best for next 3 seasons. Also he is a kinda player who has played at all top levels so his experience will also benifit to us.
The last rumor is about Pato we are looking to offload anelka/kalou or even both to ac milan plus 20m to get this young striker. I feel ifit will happen it will be one of best transfer move by chelsea.
Remember we already have ramires, luiz, piazon, alex n inclusion of kaka n pato means surely we have every chance of signing few upcoming brazilian stars like neymar, ganso, lucas(sao paulo)

Believable1 Unbelievable1

Kaka still has a few years left in him and it would be amazing to see him join Chelsea plus we still need a playmaker so if this last bid for Modric fails they should try and get him. My first choice for a new forward would have been Neymar but this is the second summer we have tried to sign him and it looks like Real Madrid is his choice. But I think Pato will also make a great addition the squad if Anelka and Kalou are sold.

I can understand going for a known to fill the creative midfield role but surely it would be worth the gamble to have an unknown but very promising young player as not only would they not get the "targeting" a known would but also the price would be a lot less. we have the experienced players already so let's do an arsene and go with the unknown.

Believable0 Unbelievable4

I'm available for 125k a week. I'll even post videos of myself on YouTube doing some stretches if it helps.

Agree0 Disagree0

Pastore was an unknown at the start of the summer...

Maybe to you

The average week for most Chelsea related football journalists (not you Ed s).

Monday What shall I write about today?... CHELSEA CONSIDER NEW IMPROVED BID FOR MODRIC .

Tuesday Right I covered Modric yesterday, what about today?... CHELSEA CAN SNAP UP KAKA FOR ONLY £25MIL .

Wednesday Oh crap there is nothing on SSN Lets see what I was reporting a year ago CHELSEA TO TEMPT MILAN WITH NEW OFFER FOR PATO .

Thursday Why is there no new statement about Modric?. What am I going to write now?. Oh hang on Sturridge may be available for loan... CHELSEA OFFER £30MIL PLUS STURRIDGE FOR MODRIC .

Friday Oooh I haven t said anything about Neymar yet this week... CHELSEA OFFER TO SIGN NEYMAR AND LOAN HIM BACK Now I have something to write about tomorrow

Saturday REAL MADRID TO INTERCEPT CHELSEA OFFER FOR NEYMAR .

Sunday Modric, Kaka, Pato and Neymar all covered, im s**t out of options now, screw it, lets chuck this in for a laugh CHELSEA TO LOAN PARKER FOR A SEASON .

Moral of the story same old rubbish in the Chelsea news every week/month/year

That is hilariously true

We are being very covert about our dealings this transfer window. Everyone is worrying about no signings being made, imo something is happening. We seem to be very clever in the way we are going about it. Abramovich would intervene if this was the case surely ?

Believable7 Unbelievable0

True - these days a club can't even mention interest in a player without it being leaked to the press and Man City/PSG/Anzhi inflating the price.
Better to keep cards close to chest and deal with the right people.

Agree0 Disagree0

Well if that's the case then I hope something really is going on behind the scenes because I don't want to see them pressing the panic button at the end of the window again

If henderson is worth 20 million, then modric is worth much more@25 years and decent experience.

Believable0 Unbelievable3

But as Modric isnt worth much more than 25 mil (or IMO any more) - does this just prove english players - especially young ones - are way way over priced.

Agree0 Disagree0

Everybody is over priced in the current market. 40 million for an unproven 22 year old (Pastore) is a lot of money, therefore 35 million for a proven 25 year old (Modric) is good business I feel.

Agree0 Disagree0

Ever since ronaldo was sold for 80 mil every club thinks they can charge ridiculous amounts, take hamsik for instance, he is a very good player but any team that buys him is going to be paying 60 mil more than he is worth, its just what this sport has become.

40 mil may be 10 or even 20 million more than he is worth but i dont think it is as much of a risk if we had signed pastore, at least modric has already proven capable of playing at the highest level.

Is Raul Meireles really surplus to requirements at Liverpool? I thought he had a great season last year, but it seems like Dalglish prefers English/Scottish talent. Could we possibly see Chelsea move for him? {Ed001's Note - he is involved in a contractual dispute with Liverpool. When he was signed last summer, it was with the promise of a pay rise if he had a good season. That was under the previous regime, the new regime think he is already being paid huge amounts and should be happy with that.}

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Meireles is a good player, how could they even consider selling him. I think the Blues were interested in him a few years ago but he would still make a good addition to the squad provided they can get him at a good price

Agree0 Disagree0

Personally I think it makes no end of sense to gO after Nasri as he is everything were looking for can score goals, very creative , pl proven , can play wing and center, young , and is not overpriced
