Kovacic to have Chelsea medical today.

Midfield 3 of Kante, Jorginho and Kovacic. that's got a bit of everything. Can't think of many better midfields than that.

Now if we can just get our strikers to hit the net.

annoyingly i don't know any strikers out there AVAILABLE that has what we need? . always thought Belotti would have suited us but I still think Batsuayhi could be perfect for this type of football we are aiming for.


2.) 08 Aug 2018 13:20:18
Kovacic will have an option to buy!


3.) 08 Aug 2018 13:32:15
I do wonder if Fekir will come and play up front. He can play there and could flourish like Mertens. That’s just a thought though.

I’m excited, I think it’s going to take Sarri a month or 2 for his ideas to work but the team looks to be slowly coming together. Kepa, Azpi, Rudi, Andreas, Emerson, Jorginho, Kante, Kovacic, Hazard, Willian, Michy.

Bench: Willy, Alonso, Luiz, Cesc, Barkley, Pedro, Morata.
Squad: Green, Zappacosta, Cahill, Moses, RLC, Ampadu, Odoi, Giroud.


4.) 08 Aug 2018 13:31:46
Batshuayi is off on loan isn’t he? As is Tammy. Does that mean we are bringing a striker in? Can any Ed’s help?


5.) 08 Aug 2018 13:57:11
Is he, damn. I’d of started him as well. I think RLC might push for a loan as well.


6.) 08 Aug 2018 15:20:02
Yea CFCShak, there has to be an option to buy in Kovacic's loan deal.


7.) 08 Aug 2018 16:09:37
Lacks goals but is huge huge improvement,


8.) 08 Aug 2018 16:32:34
Depends on who you believe about the buy option.

I think it would be pretty dumb not to have a buy option but we have on occasions done some stupid deals.


9.) 08 Aug 2018 17:00:01
mattt don't want to argue just your opinion but who would you suggest that scores loads of goals from midfield and is available for chelsea to buy right now in other words who would you buy.


10.) 08 Aug 2018 17:17:01
Batshuayi n Abraham haven’t been loaned as of yet.


11.) 08 Aug 2018 18:12:16
Yeah that’s the big question loko, Savic got a lot of goals from midfield or lazio, fekir more winger type gets goals, but I’m not a scout so can’t think of many that’d be available, but looking at city they had goals from KDB silva sane sterling. same for Liverpool with mane salah coutinho When he was there and Mahrez at Leicester gets goals, just other outlets than just striker,


12.) 08 Aug 2018 18:41:37
It’s okay having three quality midfielders who can’t score only if you have three quality attackers who can score. Only Hazard contributes. Michy could be going on loan, Morata is in a goal drought and Willian or Pedro never consistently score over ten goals a season.


13.) 08 Aug 2018 19:04:25
I think kante will score more and kovacic as both will go past our attackers something that didn't happen under conte
I think morata will score more in this system if favours his play more late runs into box rather than trying to hold it up for other players not his strength imo
Just my thoughts on it be funny if we beat Huddersfield 6 0 all different scores haha if only.


14.) 08 Aug 2018 19:19:39
You are correct KingFrank. We now have a midfield that could be extremely efficient but they are not goal scoring midfielders so once again the onus will be on Hazard. If we are trying to get Fekir it will be as a forward and his goal scoring record is good but it will mean whoever plays out of him, Morata, willian and Giroud must look to get at least 10 or more goals apiece or we will struggle again.


15.) 08 Aug 2018 20:10:44
I bet some of you lot are fun at parties! Same people trying to find a negative in every post. If we signed Messi you’d moan about his height.


16.) 08 Aug 2018 20:36:46
He is small though.


17.) 08 Aug 2018 21:16:01
Eden Hazard has: Scored: 9, 14, 14, 4, 16 and 12 Assisted: 11, 7, 9, 3, 5 and 4 He's about to play his first season under one of the most attacking coaches in Europe, being supplied by Kovačić, Jorginho, Kante and Fàbregas.


18.) 09 Aug 2018 08:31:36
An inform (top of his game) Barkley scores goals.


19.) 09 Aug 2018 10:04:17
Just my read on the current spending at Chelsea, does the fact that we have canned the plan to build the stadium mean that we have more funds at our disposal . for us to use for contract negotiations or use to get the right players in?

Fellow posters, please share what u make of our transfer business this window, especially.


 

 

06 Aug 2018 16:40:48
According to reports in France we've made a late approach to sign Nabil Fekir. Apparently he's been left out of tomorrow's Lyon squad.

Not sure how I feel about that. He's a good player but I'm sure Liverpool pulled the plug on his £53m transfer due to worries about his right knee injuries.

1.) 06 Aug 2018 16:51:57
EDs any truth to these rumuors or any interest in lewandowski?

{Ed001's Note - only thing I know is that Fekir wants to go to Liverpool, so I doubt Chelsea would show interest in a player that is not keen on joining. As for Lewandowski, he is looking for a payday, but Bayern are not looking to sell, so I doubt Chelsea are going to cough up the kind of money needed to bring him in at the age he is now. If he was not just chasing money, I could see it happening, but not when he is just after a big payday.}


2.) 06 Aug 2018 16:57:50
be good to have a left footer on left side of a 3 man midfield.


3.) 06 Aug 2018 17:07:41
Rubbish apparently. The player is going nowhere this summer. My money is on Zaha with Loftus Cheek going to Palace on loan (premier league have this on their app already! )


4.) 06 Aug 2018 17:10:48
id be happy with that adam mate.


5.) 06 Aug 2018 17:56:40

Looks like we're about €20m a part for Fekir. Drop a player in as well but which one? I'd off them Musonda permanently or Zouma on loan.

Dantheman23

 

 

09 Aug 2018 06:29:06
Just a little inkling but I think we'll sign another player later, before the window shuts. My guess would be Fekir. if we do I'd say that's a very good window. Especially as we've kept Hazard, Kante and Willian.

Also we've managed to get rid of stinky from hey Arnold!

I'm usually a positive poster but.

Defensively we're terrible. Azpi is the only one of those that should be near the first team. Everyone moaned about going for a new CB. we now see why.

Cesc poor, Barkley poorer. Feel sorry for Morata, no service but his general play was poor. Can also see why we need more quality in midfield. Obviously with Kante coming back the gives us the legs we're missing but RLC should get a chance over the rest.

Is going to be a long season if we don't sort this situation out, a lot of work to be done in the coming days.

On a positive note. Jorginho played well, Odoi did ok and Willian was committed when he came on.

Dantheman23

1.) 05 Aug 2018 17:07:11
When Kante comes back Jorginho will be benched. He might need time to adapt to PL football on the other hand he won't be first player who came from Italy and one is not able to adapt to PL.


2.) 05 Aug 2018 17:30:00
Fabregas is the one who needs to be benched, not Jorginho!


3.) 05 Aug 2018 17:51:16
Jorginho will be benched? What on earth.

Not entirely sure why Sarri insisted on playing the offside trap over and over again while Rudiger and Luiz were destroyed on numerous occasions.

Desperately need Michy back who will sniff chances out of thin air.

Alonso also incredibly slow and would like to see Emerson get a run of games.


4.) 05 Aug 2018 18:51:10
did u really say jorhinho will be benched haha for crying out load he is probably d best passer of a ball i ever saw he's a gem . him an kante and probably rlc 3 man mid.


5.) 05 Aug 2018 21:47:43
Jorginho and Kante play at the same position. Or there so many guys who don't understand football among Chelsea supporters.
Jorginho made 3 or 4 capital mistakes today . PL football is far quicker than Italian.


6.) 05 Aug 2018 23:19:14
u certainly don't understand football if u think jorginho will be dropped. he made mistakes because he was playing with 2 rubbish midfielders. his main mistake was because fabregas gave him a rubbish pass when there was 3 city players on top of him . his passing stood out a mile put kante next to him hel have plenty of cover an buy another cm cause nobody at d club is good enough not barkley fabregas rubbishayoko 😊😂😂😂.


7.) 06 Aug 2018 06:37:57
As far as I remember you're the one who claimed that Bakayoko is a midfield solution and that we won't feel feel absence of Matic and Costa wirh Morata as perfect signing.
So much. It's pointless.


8.) 06 Aug 2018 11:42:41
i did feel both would suit us to the ground but i guess not every player is suited to pl football even a machine like falcao flopped.


 

 

02 Aug 2018 07:47:27
Sarri said after the game that Odoi is ready and will be in the first team this season.

Although he isn't happy with Willian returning late. Watch that space with a week left in the window.

Dantheman23

1.) 02 Aug 2018 08:34:26
Good players can play on either wing. I’d go Hudson-Odoi, Batshuayi and Hazard as our front three. At least Michy knows where the net is if he gets the chance.


2.) 02 Aug 2018 09:07:39
Agreed. I like Pedro but he tends to burn himself out after 45mins. perhaps an impact sub.


 

 

01 Aug 2018 07:38:29
Can any of the Ed's provide us with an update on the goalkeeper situation? Is Courtois still likely to leave and if so who we're looking at as a replacement?

Thanks.

I think the issue we have is that Sarri is playing “square pegs in round holes”.

He’s got a Left back that’s too attack minded and gets caught out of position almost all the time. Morata - there’s nothing to say. Giroud is a target man, he thrives on crosses. Which is fine but how often do you see Willian and Pedro cross a ball, they both like to cut inside. So he’s forced to play Hazard in the 9 to give us a goal threat and that doesn’t suit him. He’s better of as a free role, not a key point up front.

We’re also forgetting that Sarri called this, he said his first season would be tough. Let’s remember he also came in late and bar Jorginho has not been able to stamp his authority on the team. I think he’s done a great job to keep us in the top 4 amongst these sort of problems.

I know Higuain isn’t everyone’s cup of team but his goal scoring record is bang up there. He knows Sarri, he knows his system and I for one feel if he signs he’ll be a major success. On the other hand, if Sarri started Odoi and Giroud, I could see that clicking. Odoi is a brilliant crosser if the ball.

Keep the faith!

I don’t think either of them have ever been good LBs. wing back they’re both reliable but I think they’ll get found out playing LB. Especially as your wingers need to cover and Hazard won’t do that all game.

I think rather than looking at a 9th centre back we should find a LB. I wondered the same thing, do we shift azpi over or Moses?

So average that Man U and Barcelona wanted him. So average that he’s a full Brazil international amongst all the talent. So average that he was our player of the season whilst others switched off. It’s alright bringing in Pulisic or Bailey but their 2 kids and how long is it going to take them to evolve? Silly comment mate.

But we’ve signed what we needed in Jorginho. We’re hopefully keeping Willian, Kante and Hazard. Have exciting youth, players returning from loan that could actually fight for a place not just a wasted season at Vitesse.

Did anyone seriously think we’d go out and sign Lewandowski or Bale? On the flip side of that why sign players if we have the same level if not better in our squad already.

Come one pal, let’s stay positive!
