Hi Ed, do you see us getting a couple of players in this window? If so, in what areas? {Ed018's Note - sure. We have already brought in a midfielder and a winger and I think a center forward will arrive}

I understand why Mourinho want to sign Rooney, he is one the best players in the world. But that will force Mourinho to change formation. You cannot play with one CF and leave Torres, Lukaku and Ba on the bench. Chelsea would have many unhappy players. He will have to switch to 442 and whole preseason he played
433. {Ed018's Note - maybe a forward or two would move on}

Jose Mourinho has already said that he would like the option to play two forwards during a match where necessary; whether that be by making subs or making a tactical adjustment during the game. With the players we have in the squad we have the option of players adopting different positions therefore allowing tactical changes. don't get too hung up on formations or even a starting eleven, it's a squad game.

Ness:

I don't know why you are so concerned. In Jose we have the best coach/manager in world football, he knows what has to be done, both players in and out.

Leave the management to the special one

I am not concerned, I was just thinking loud.

Haven't Torres and Ba refused to be forced out Ed? {Ed018's Note - they do both seem keen to stay but things happen}

Ed018, are Chelsea still trying to buy a centre back this summer? Many thanks, {Ed018's Note - it's possible}

Thanks for the response Ed018. I think we need to. My personal choice would be Sakho. He is strong and quick and has been first choice for France recently. PSG have signed Marquinhos who will partner Silva so he should be available at a reasonable price. The great advantage with Sakho is he can play at left back as well which means should Cole suffer a substantial injury we won't be stuck with the inadequate Bertrand for a number of months. Affordable option in my mind. Provides strength and options/flexibility like Ivanovic does on the right. It's a far more realistic option than the likes of Varane who will not be available. Rooney, Khedira (Mikel gone) and Sakho. That would complete the summer business perfectly. (And Ba out obviously - 3 forwards - Rooney, Torres and Lukaku). -James13
