Lot of guys want chelsea fc to sign Falcao in january......
but atletico madrid chief director said couple of days back that they MIGHT sell Falcao in summer but not in mid-season i.e. in january due to club's financial problems......
but if atletico madrid qualifies for champions league then most of their financial problems will be solved and also Falcao will be even more happy to stay with atletico madrid......
which means even if chelsea fc pay buy-out clause fee which is 48 m atletico madrid wont accept it.....
even if chelsea fc get him after paying 48 m, by the time chelsea fc get him in next summer he will be 27 yrs ( 27.5 ) old.....
well am just saying so because no doubt falcao is a real gifted goal scorer but again paying 48m for a player who will enter in his thirties after 2.5 half season doesn't make it good transfer.....
we already have 50m torres who is to discover his goal scoring form he showed at liverpool ....
and now again bringing in another striker of almost 50m doesnt make sence as we have adopted 4-2-3-1 formation very well hence keeping one of 50m striker on bench......

i guess chelsea fc wont sign new striker in january instead they will call back lukaku from WBA.....
they will sign new striker only if sturridge fails to renew contract with us.....
even though i think we will sign young talented striker or we will sign more well experienced but cheaper option for BACK UP as mourinho did by signing Pizzaro as back up during his time at chelsea fc.......
if we go for young talented strikers we will go for......
robert lewandowski - 25m
jovetic - 25m
loic remy - 15 m

and if we will go for well experienced but still cheaper options we will sign......
lorrente - 15 m
huntelaar - 7 m ........

also about our defensive midfield situation most of us want chelsea fc to sign new defensive mid fielder - fellani.....
but i will prefer few other players ahead of fellani for pivot role.......
fellani has great strength can hold ball nicely but he wont suit our current playing style.....
we will require someone alongside ramires in pivot who can break the counter attack of opposition and pass the ball quickly forward...
i have few names who are technically brilliant and would really suit for our playing style....
m' villa - rennes
lars bender - byren leverkusen
capoye - toulouse

may be u guys will have different opinions........

but this is mine........

chelsea fc forever.......

As for the midfield i just want Romeu to start playing instead of buying new guy, the guy is extremly good and very very gifted at passing. im sure he could be a a famous footballer in 3-4 years if he get some playing time which i really dont understand why. AVB used him alot but DI matteo didnt like him for some reason even tho he played very well.

Forward: (if sturidge leave) I wud sell Torres and Buy Lewandowski & Falcao (i know he is 27 but Drog joined at the age of 26 and he was a big icon) and keep Lukaku. That for me would be ideal, i know its expensive but thats what we need, look at ManU/ManC/Barcelona etc they all have 3-4 GOOD strikers.

Lewandowski - 20-25mil GBP
Falcao - 38-40 GBP
Lukaku - At Chelsea

Agree0 Disagree0

Sorry correction. Falcao - 48M GBP {Ed061's Note - 48m GBP is his buyout clause in Spain. I would expect Athletico to accept less, how much less I can't say.}

Agree0 Disagree0

I dont see how the club can keep Torres if they want to sign Falcao both for money reasons and playing time.
We need three strikers to really compete in all competions this season.
Torres/Falcao Lakaku and it looks like a replacement for Sturridge
Fellaini hasnt being playing a defensive role for Everton and would be a wasted in that role.
The combination of Ramires and Mikel is looking very promising.

Agree0 Disagree0

Maybe I am wrong in saying this? But Athletico have received no money for winning the Europa league, as fifa states it will not pay money to clubs in debt with tax revenue in there own country. Athletico owe somthing like 135 million to the tax man. So I dont know if by being in the champions league will help them at all.
Correct me if im wrong chaps

So AM set a price for Falcao, now its up for chelsea to buy him or not and hopefully before ManC!

I'd say we're more "desperate" for him, so hopefully we'll be more eager to get the deal done before them! Come on Roman, him and a holding mid is all we need for a clean sweep! DJ

Agree0 Disagree0

Yes we REALLY need him, i hope they fed him something like here at us you wil be our 1st striker and at city there is already 3-4 strikers to share the spot, and we arent a club full of big ego's who cant work together :D also hes a chelsea fan

Agree0 Disagree0

ED you keep speaking about "the right price" for Falcao is the right price within the price range of the within the 48m Euro {Ed061's Note - If Chelsea's valuation of the player is the same as Athletico's we would move at 'the right price'. Falcao has a buyout clause of 68m Euro, not 48m.}

Agree0 Disagree0

Isn't the buyout clause irrelevant anyway?

IB. {Ed061's Note - Yes.}

Agree0 Disagree0

Hello Ed,

1. between remy and falcao .. who will we try to purchase in the January window ?
2. Lamps is likely to leave in the near future ... would there be a push to purchase Fellini in the Jan window ?
3. BA looks good as it gets ATM in the league ... are we interested in his services ... is there interest in him from chelsea?
4. Andre Schurell ... are we still interested in him ?
5. Any other positions we will look to strength in the Jan window ?

Thank you {Ed002's Note - (1) Chelsea will be interested in the right player at the right price; I can't answer questions that begin "between" easily. (2) No. (3) No. (4) Yes but he is not available. (5) Perhaps a replacement for Essien.}
