Anyone know why Luke Shaw is not in under21 championships?

He picked up a back injury. Jack Robinson took his place in the squad.

am I the only one who thinks we don't even have to buy any players for next season? look at our team/squad:

Cech

Azpi/Iva Cahill/Terry Iva/Luiz Cole/Bertrand

Luiz/Essien/Romeu Oscar/Ramires/Lampard

KDB/Oscar Mata/Marin Hazard/Moses

Lukaku/Ba/Torres

thats a squad of 21 players already where they can all rotate adn make the whole team freshand and with this squad under mourinho I really believe we can win the title. who else thinks so?

Fahim

We definitely need another cb and I'd like Van Ginkel as well. Schurrle would also be a good buy in my opinion and if we really want to win prizes next year we're going to need a better striker

GK Cech+2 moreGK's
Defence Azpilicueta, Ivanovic, Terry, Luiz, Cahill, Cole, Bertrand
Midfield Lampard, Essien, Mikel, Ramires, Oscar, Romeu. deBruyne
RWM&LWM Mata, Hazard, Moses, Schurrle
Strikers Torres, Ba, Lukaku, Jovetic

Marin, Chalobah (maybe Romeu) Shaw will be loaned.

Football has gone crazy! £34m for a 28-yr olf Fernandinho is ludicrous!
Bas!cs.

Man City have become desperate and have no long term plan, unlike roman who has been developing our youth development since he came in.

I take it that is a "tongue in cheek" reply. because how many are in the first team ake has made a few cameo appearances but who else has really made an impression.

The reason they are not in the first team yet is because they are all young teenagers. Our youth teams are regularly winning domestic and european competitions, when they are ready they go out on loan to gain first team experience, over the next couple of seasons we will start to see many of these young talents emerge into our first team squad.

Hi all so glad mourinho is back but were going to have to do something in this transfer window, city are just getting stronger with navas now fernadinho (spelling) and we didn't beat them once last yr even end of season friendlies, something has to happen

The window isn't even open yet! Plus Fernandinho is never worth that! Cost more than Hazard and much older with less talent.
Calm down, we will have a great window. At least 2 marquee signings are coming alongside young talent according to my sources and they are usually very reliable.

EH17, care to be a little more specific? Everyone loves some rumours ;-)

Navas played in 36 games in La Liga this year he scored 0 goals and had 5 asists this year, Negredo scored 25 league goals. If he was that great he would have assisted a lot more. He is quick and talented but he's not better than Nasri and I would rate Moses on a par.

Fernandinho once again is a good player but isn't going to win a title in my eyes.

Let them spend 50euros on squad players.

PB1989

Navas is over rated, don't worry about him. Not a 100%, but think he only got like 4 goals and 6 assists last season. Not what you would call marquee.

Navas created the most chances out of any player in the Spanish League last season.

Above poster, define chance in this case? Was it most passes in the last third or something like that? 4 goals and 6 assists doesn't sound too good to me for a creative winger.
EH17

I dunno but on Opta stats it said that he had the most 'chances created for teamates' in the division. Above of Ozil and 10 above Ronaldo.

Maybe he had the most chances but stats don't lie, and his stats are 37 games 0 goals 6 assists. As we have seen with Barca, chances are one thing goals are what win games

Man city have spent £34 million on 28 year old Fernandinho of Shakhtar.

Wow

Talk about being rinsed!

Hey Ed
Do you expect a deal for Andre Schurrle to join Chlesea to be agreed this transfer window? {Ed018's Note - I think so}

I'd like to see a balance of experience and youth next season. I think we've come to a point now where CERTAIN players need to be given a chance to shine rather than being shipped out on loan and some need another season on loan.

I'd go with the following squad:

Cech, Courtois, Azpilicueta, Cole, Ivanovic, Luiz, Terry, Cahill, Essien, Ramires, Lampard, McEachran, Chalobah, Marin, Hazard, Mata, Oscar, Lukaku, Ba

Ins: Shaw, Matip or Papadopoulos, Thiago or McCarthy, Dzeko, Shurrle

Outs: Torres, Mikel, Bertrand, Romeu, Ake (loan), De Bruyne (loan), Piazon (loan), Wallace (loan)

Lol loan Ale, De brune and Piazon but keep Marin, Josh, and Nathaniel C on the squad. Glad your not managing.

Ake isn't as good as Chalobah for starter's mate, De Bruyne is part of the schurrle deal, Piazon plays attacking mid and we have enough of them, Marin is a good player we just haven't seen it yet due to injury etc and he adds width.

Why spend millions on cover when we have home grown talent waiting for a chance.

Agree play mceachran an gel him now. Keep romeu though! BLUEBOY1

Papadopoulos has a bad injury record and for the price quoted isn't worth the risk.

Outs Mikel, and Bertrand, and Romeu,

are you 12yrs old?
We need "SQUAD PLAYERS"

Could you see JT leaving Chelsea in the summer Eds? {Ed018's Note - I can't but you never know}

In today's sun it has a team that Jose wants next season. Jose dream team. And I think with Luiz in there instead of lamps it is a frightening line up.
Cech
Azpilcueta varane terry cole
Oscar modric lamps
Mata Cavani Hazard

Luiz instead of modric would be better, in my opinion anyway

Varane would be amazing.

First rule in life. Never read The Sun

That looks awesome. But I just can't see Madrid letting go of Varane.

Id have Oscar playing where they have Modric, Ramirez where Oscar is, and Luis instead of Lamps as my starting line. I think that's perfectly achievable by bringing in Varane and Cavani.

Ive said for a while now, we need a striker who can score (let Torres go, bring in a top striker, and bring Lukaku back for cover up front and on the right), and a top class defender to partner Terry whilst pushing Luiz into midfield.

Why do so many people on here want Lukaku brought back 'for cover'. Do none of you have a clue? What about his development. You don't want him starting week in week out? He can't even get into the Belgium team ATM infront of Benteke, and Benteke isn't the best striker going.

Surly can't hold on to azpil at rb the amount of mistakes he made and goals he cost us last year was rediculose add to that he pushes forward and can't cross past first defender he would be on my first player out list

To the poster slating Azpilicueta. Do you actually watch matches?
EH17

He can't do, Azpilaqueta has been outstanding at right back. Especially after the years of crap right backs we've had!

*Azpilicueta

Ramires Oscar Di Rossi for me with Luiz back at cb in place of John Terry.

I don't want modric here, especially when Oscar and mceachran can play the playmaker from deep.
