Ulises Davila - Osasuna are in dire need of some goal scoring threats and creative play. They want him to inject some youth and passion into their team and it will be good experience for him.


Patrick Bamford - Watford need someone to partner Deeney with Vydra's loan from Udinese over and his desire to play in the Premier League could lead to a sale or another loan elsewhere. Patrick needs to stay healthy.

Nathan Ake- It's time for more than just an appearance here and there. He needs time on the pitch and lots of it and at a higher level. Loan to Watford in hope of getting the minutes Nathaniel got.

Nathaniel Chalobah- Probably would have kept him at Watford had they received promotion but unfortunately they did not. Needs to get into Premier League. He can go to Stoke on a season long loan and boss that midfield.

DeLaRusso

Wouldn't you want Chalobah to play in a midfield that's actually gets used during a game? Stoke just play the long ball. I'd rather he develops at a club that plays some decent football

Franco

Stoke used to play long ball. Who knows what they will do this season.

Romelu Lukaku - This will probably be his last loan spell and it will include a recall clause in January. Swansea need a pure striker and they will also be in the Europa League. If he can bring the heat two years in a row in the Premier League he will be the number 9 for years to come.

DeLaRusso

No loan for Lukaku. Mourinho said so.

If we can ditch Torres and ba there's no reason for him to go anywhere else.

Hi ed, I know twitter and newspapers aren't to be believed but I'd like to know the situation with cavani, have we met the fee and allowed to speak with the player or has it been rejected as stated in papers etc, I value your say more than any other. Thanks. {Ed018's Note - read the posts}

Wallace - have a bright future ahead. Vitesse want him to be their direct replacement to Kalas. They have been good to Chelsea and will even be selling one of their young midfielders.

Marko Marin- Unfortunately, injuries and piss-poor performances when given the opportunity has made his first year at Chelsea an absolute disaster. He has shown signs that he can get the job done in Germany. He just needs to stay healthy and get on the pitch to showcase his skills. Somewhere where he will have consistent minutes. Crystal Palace are in need of some wide players to stretch the field with Zaha off to Man U and are willing to take him on for the season.

I've been thinking same. Palace will be a good move for him.

To me it depends who we keep in. Piazon should go on loan. If we keep kdb or if we sign another player in that role i'd let him go but if he stays healthy I feel he can be an asset.

How much truth is in the rumour that chelsea are close to signing hulk, jovetic and cavani for a combined fee of 110 million pounds?

Are Chelsea going to sign a goalkeeper this summer as we are releasing hilarious and turnbull. With courtois saying that he will be back at athletico next season. Will we end up leaving ourselves short of keepers with cech and jamal Blackman who has not got enough experience.

After a metting with Chelsea boss jose mourinho lukaku came to the coclusion that he will fight for his place in the Chelsea starting 11 next season in hope of playing in the Brazil in the 2014 World Cup for Belgium

From a web site I read earlier, like your teacher used to say "must do better".

Did Napoli asked for Ramires to be included in the Cavani deal?

Good luck to In Amin Affane at Cottbus.

A very promising young player who if he keeps his attitude in check could be very good. I really do hope he leaves chelsea wondering why they let him go in the next few years to come.

So it look set for a busy summer of transfers for Chelsea. Personally I think all the players we have been linked with would make good additions to the squad:

Eliaquim Mangala- Strong, tall, traditional centre back. Quite pacy and still a lot to learn at only 22. Bit of an asking price though. 10mil less than the 30mil asking price would be good business.

Raphael Varane- So much potential in him. Again a very traditional centre back. Puts himself in the fray isn't afraid to get hurt. May be keen for a reunion with Jose.

Kevin-Prince Boateng (this is quite a recent rumour but I'll still analyse it)- I know probably noone likes him after what he did to Michael Ballack but there's no denying he's a superb talent. Strong, quick, creative and versatile. Would be a fantastic holding midfielder with Luiz or Ramires

Sami Khedira- Again another Real player Jose is keen on having with him at Chelsea. Fantastic CDM. Good reader of the game. Can chip in with goals and a few assists and would definitely be a better alternative to Mikel

Wesley Sneijder- IMO should be rated up there with the likes of the Fabregas' and the Iniestas. Such an eye for a pass. Good shot from distance and a marksman with the dead ball.

Andre Schurlle- I believe this transfer is almost completed. A fantastic young player. I remember watching him at the Euros with Germany and thinking 'why would we want such a ball greedy, chance wasting player' but when watching him in the Bundesliga he looked awesome. Has so much pace, good snaky movement and an eye for a pass. Works very effectively on the left wing as he likes to cut in and shoot.

Edin Dzeko- Tbh I don't really want Dzeko at Chelsea. I think he would be a flop at the club. However, if he was to be a success I think it would be a good signing. A MUCH cheaper alternative to Cavani and could score just as many. If we were to sign him I just hope he can maintain a scoring streak.

Stevan Jovetic- Another brilliant player to be linked with. So pacy and agile. Good movement. I think he would work best just in behind the main striker with Mata and Hazard operating at the sides of him. Would be even sweeter if we were to nick him away from Arsenal.

Hulk- I know Jose would be very keen on this transfer. Kinda like Ronaldo but for less than half the price. Strong, pacy and versatile with a hell of a strike on him. Honestly could play anywhere on the pitch and still be effective.

Edinson Cavani- Save the best till last. Obviously RA will be a bit reluctant to spend 50mil on another striker but tbh FT9 was already on the declining spiral when Roman bought him whereas this guy just keeps getting better. Strong, pacy, energetic, presence in the air, good mover and such a good finishing prowess. I was gutted we lost out on Falcao but Cavani I think would be a more than adequate replacement.

Thought guys and girls

I think what Roman and Chelsea need to realise is that players like Cavani will bring as much money to the club as their transfer fee. Torres was like you said, on a bit of a downward spiral in form before he even joined Chelsea. Cavani is a complete striker just like Drogba if not slightly better. He is a great finisher, comes back to defend and is then up the other end of the pitch in a flash. Not sure about Hulk but we do need a CB, RB, DMF/AMF and a CF. Scott M.

Dzeko - smokescreen? Showing Napoli that we could go for another striker. In other words; leverage. Hulk "sort of like Ronaldo. " if only! But I agree would be a lot cheaper. It's all relative - how much dosh are we going to spend. Nice post Talberto.
Steve

Great post
Thanks man

Why would we need a RB? We have Azpi, Wallace and both Ivanovic and Tomas Kalas can fill in there

Hi eds, do you know if real are prioritising the likes of Suarez instead of Cavani? I guess my fear is that they come in with a late offer. Are there any legs in the mata rumours to real? Maybe they have agreed to back off from cavani if they can have mata if we seal the cavani deal? {Ed002's Note - REal Madrid have a number of targets and are aware that they may not be able to sign them all - hence their looking to others.}
