Hi Ed - is Jackson Martinez's agent really having talks with Chelsea?! {Ed002's Note - My understanding is that he has asked to meet with representatives of the club. The player was represented by someone else when the previous discussions took place.}

Sounds promising although we all know how hard a deal in January is

Good player but the only thing it'll do is make Lukaku question whether he'll ever get the chance for us and that's why I don't want him. If the cash is getting splashed in January we need a Matic or Fernando type player desperately.

No doubt he is an excellent player but still we think about buying all the time without using the resources we have effectively.
With some good coaching and trust Lukaku can easly be a world beater but once you bring in 27yr old you kill his development. TSO is not good in development of players. he works with established players.
For the DM position we have Luiz who can do it so well as we develop Chalobah, Raftus, KDN, etc (if only with proper coaching and trust).
I also think if we decide to buy then the priority is CM rather than CF. its where we struggle most besides all our attacking midfielder are good goal scorer.
Drop Lampard, play Luiz & Rami then mata, hazard and Oscar with any of the strikers.
