{Ed002's Note - It has all been covered before but Milan asked about Mario Pasalic and Matic in addition to Fabregas. Chelsea would like Bakayoko.}

Ed are chelsea willing to sell matic?

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed002's Note - They are not looking to sell him but there is interest in him.}

Pasalic to Milan would probably be good for all involved.
Selling Fab​ and buying Bakayoko would leave us with nog CMs that are good in attack, which might be a problem. It'll be interesting tot see what happens. Ideally maybe we sell both Matic and Fab and replace them with Bakayoko and Tolisso from Lyon. Tolisso is a very good box to box mis that can also be dangerous in attack.

Fair point Jackson. In some ways I'd prefer 2 more defensive minded midfielders which allow us to field 3 forwards. That said in games where teams play a low block it would be nice to have someone who can open teams up with their passing.

I also prefer to defensive midfielders so our attacking front in two can roam around a bit and cause havoc. And with balanced direct wing backs we will cause problems. But I also would prefer Tolisso over Bakayoko. Better passer, good work rate and a fantastic long range shot. But i would play Challenging over both he's developed looked good when called upon now let's stick him in and see how he does.

Ed002, you mentioned RE: Cesc Fabregas on the Liverpool page that we have a replacement lined up and hope to do a deal. Safe to assume that replacement right now is Tiemoue Bakayoko?

{Ed002's Note - That is who Chelsea would like.}

I would love him here. But I've learnt that I shouldn't hold my breath over players arriving. Still, fingers crossed :)

Bakayoko is surely not a straight replacement for Fabregas. He's got no creativity.
