{Ed022's Note - Hi all, there has been a brand new Player Profile posted on Thibaut Cortois of Chelsea FC. This is a player who is very highly rated, and a GK which has caught the eye of most to be honest with you. I'd really appreciate some feedback to the profile etc with your comments, opinions and banter, so feel free to come on over to the Profiles site. www.player-profiles.co.uk - cheers all.}

Hi Ed,
I remain optimistic Roman finds a way to steal either Falcao, Cavani or Hulk but worst case would Adebayor be someone we would consider for a couple years, he looks to be available on the cheap and proven goal scorer who can play the lone striker role for us. Then we can steal Moura under Man United noses, it would be great!!!
Agree0

A few years ago i would say no way to adebayor however last season he had good form so just as a backup for a few years might be a good shout but hes stupidly demanding
Agree0

Yeah he is fantastic. he would be a better replacement for Cech

We must sign another proven striker preferably Falcao or Cavani; can't close our eyes and hope for the best with just Torres and Sturridge (Lukaku will go on loan)

Not if we dont get another striker he wont
Agree0

So you've just posted preferably cavani? Did you not see the post below?!
We won't get either of those 2 this summer
Agree0
Disagree0
That's my opinion and not necessarily what is going to happen. Actually, I don't think what Cavani said will put off our effort to sign him. I would like to see what he has to say if we launch a bid for him.
Agree0

None of these transfers are out of the question.

At this rate, Soldado or Lewendowski seem the most likely.

sky sports news reporting that cavani says he is staying in naples and will consider england in the future. any truth? with this and hulk seeming less likely, no deal for schurrle and it going quiet on lewandowski should we worry? chelsea definitely need to sign a new striker. but a world class one is looking less likely.

Don't believe everything you read, the comments from cavani seem rehearsed. don't forget, a player saying he wants to leave a club will decrease his value
trueblue012
Agree0

Disagree. Take Modric, for example. 'Value' is dependant on interested parties, contract lengths, potential agent fees, centrality to plans, form, age, injuries etc etc. I would say desire to leave doesn't really play as much a part.

I agree trueblue if a player wants to leave a club then teams are going to offer less because most clubs would rather cash in than have a player disrupt the squad
also LJ you made some good points to the value of players too

I think you missed the point i was trying to make, but i agree with what you're saying

Torres wanted to leave liverpool, didn't stop him costing 50 mil, i agree with original comment
Agree0
Disagree0
After re-reading I can understand your point, but again think the instances of price lowering as to avoid disruption is also pretty rare and ultimately a chairmans decision. We've seen how changeable chairmen and owners can be in this and previous windows.
LJ
Agree0

I would say if I am a player I would try and get as much as I can because there's a good chance I'll be bringing home a piece of the transfer sum so why not get more.

Would we be interested in taking Andy Carroll on loan as hulk and cavani are being priced out of a move. Carroll is not the best,but has similar qualities to didier ( strong,great header and a great left foot). Obviously I would prefer hulk/cavani or falcao but maybe an option if we cannot get one of those. At least with a loan he can always go back if it doesn't work out.
NWBLUE {Ed018's Note - i can't see this being an option at all}

You are aware he scored 4 goals last last season yes?:)

Hulk deal seems more unlikely each day. If Napoli stick to their price we won't be getting Cavani. Jovetic and Schurrle not going to the Bridge. Kinda wondering who exactly we are going to bring in as another striker. (I don't class Moses as a striker, nor do I think Lukaku could provide adequate backup for Torres)

Robert Lewandowski

We have enough attackers already...

No we dont. I think we will do a Torres again with Cavani (last minute signing)..

Get real did you watch lukaku in pre season and Sturridge in the Olympics
We need another striker and fast

Hi Ed, do u think we might make a move for Iker Muniain, and what do u think of the player?
ChelseaL {Ed002's Note - Muniain was touted around the clubs on behalf of Bilbao in January - and the two clubs in England that were approached were Chelsea and Manchester United. The asking price was 40M euros. They won't get it because I don't think clubs would risk half of that on a player who is young and has had some off field issues. If the price comes down to a reasonable level (20M euros might be an acceptable figure) I can see interest from several English clubs including Manchester United and Liverpool. Napoli and Roma interest is still there and rumours abound of Juventus and Malaga interest but perhaps an eventual move to Barcelona beckons.}

This is who iwoulg lik to see in blue. ok hes not versatile like hulk and able to play up top but he is a class act. perfect for the right wing, just would mean we would have to buy a striker aswell. BLUEBOY1

If Terry gets banned. We would need to invest in a RB - which we're doing. Then Ivan can play either. However, if either Cahill, Luiz gets a bad injury early doors with a likely Terry ban, we might struggle

What a stupid question! Are you a Chelsea fan? Are you a football fan? Say, for arguments sake, he gets an eight match ban; we going to sign a new player to cover
those eight matches? Of cause we are not! People...think before you ask!!
