Couple of things:

1) We seem to want Moses as a replacement for Kalou? Why not save £10m and keep Kakuta to see if he develops...surely he can't be worse than Moses or even Piazon, I've seen him play off the left and Right before?!

2) César Azpilicueta...injury prone, couldn't make it in Spain at a poor club and hasn't exactly set the world on fire? If we wanted a young right back we should have nipped across London and got Nathaniel Clyne. Upto me I'd sign Debuchy or Maggio!

3) Hulk is a waste of money, at the price they are asking anyway...same goes for Cavani. If your going to fork out £40-70m I'd go with Falcao but as he won't leave I think Lewandowski would be perfect. Fast, Strong, great left foot, good in the air, can play up top on his own, good with the ball and would cost less than the others.

I agree with the that hulk and cavani are overpriced, both biant but hulk especially is
Not worth 40m. I think kakuta is just not gd enough. Even at fulham he couldn't get in team. I think for ten million, Moses will be good squad player, young quick direct, and I can't comment on azpilcueta as not seen him, but like u say, he couldn't get in Spain squad so maybe not that amazing.

I agree with the victor moses thing, lucas piazon could hold up the position just as well..

Did azipilcueta even play in spain ?? as for national team hes got arbeloa and ramos who can play there infront of him {Ed018's Note - Osasuna}

He was fantastic at Osasuna (Azpilicueta), he had a long lay off last season i believe, but i'm not sure that makes him injury prone?
I agree with Hulk, but i am not sure about Falcao, he is a fantastic finisher but he is not versatile. The only position he can play is upfront, and i think we need someone more versatile for our squad, someone who can both play with and offer competition to Torres.

Ah osasuna he would of been young there though surely

as for the national squad you cant claim hes not a great player because he doesnt start for spain like i say hes got arbeloa and ramos (who can play right back) infront of him not exactly easy competition

curt

Arbeloa isn't very good to be fair and Ramos is better at Centre Back. I'll tell you now if we sign Cesar Azpilicueta he will flop and be sold after a year. I'd stick with Ivanovic, he's a proper defensive right back which will be key seen as we have all this new attacking flair, after that I'd just bring in Debuchy or a young promising one as an understudy to Ivanovic like Wallace, Daniel Opare, Adam Matthews.

Am I the only one who is questioning who is the driving force between the players that we are bringing in, it seems to me that all the players are the type of players that seem to suit pep guardiola, I hope I'm wrong because di matteo deserves a genuine chance.

To be honest, isnt ita bit obvious pep dont wanna job till the season after this. di matteo gets a 2 year deal, with after 1 year chelsea or di matteo can release him. abromovic has met with pep. BLUEBOY1

Does it really matter aslong as we get the league back where it belongs

Where it belongs? why would YOU push for Liverpool to regain their pre-eminence?

Puzzled

Oh puzzled puzzled puzzled

infact no im not guna bother the league belonds with the mighty chelsea

Do you believe that Azpilicueta and Moses will be the 2 signings that have been much discussed, after comments from Gourlay? Are there any 'top' strikers available for a reasonable price? I know this last question subjective but I am sure you know what calibre of player I'm talking about. Many Thanks, Sam

Read the posts good god iv seen brick walls that arent as clueless as you

2 more big signings i dont see moses as a big signing we need a rb and a striker weve got plenty of wingers now

Ed, do you think Oscar will be competing for a first team place straight away or more likely to go into the reserve team?
FP {Ed018's Note - I can't see him going into the reserves. He will be in the first team and I would think after a few months he could become a regular starter}

Oscar is a HUGE waste in the reserves

not only from the price tag but the talent aswel

curt

25mil for a reserve player, bit steep even for RA

Do we think he'll be starting lol, he'll yea he will

I cant see him in reserves what a waste of talent! Hes gota start on the bench
Carefree

He starts for Brazil, and you think he might be in our reserves?

£25m steep for a reserve player? You have one who costs £50m

Puzzled

No puzzled he's starting. You on the other hand have a 35m striker that you can't give away if you tried.

Tk

A bid is winging it's way to Liverpool from Roman even as we speak - he sees him as a replacement for a failed striker you have at the club

Puzzled

Nah roman just feels those strikers you have deserve a better club

Any Chance Of Us Getting Falcao

Any chance of you using the search function?

IB.

Read the f'in posts

There is always a chance, but it doesn't look likely

trueblue012

Can u not read the other posts? Surely it's quicker than typing a question and waiting for a response. Muppet
Marley

It's looking just as likely as any other strikers righ now.

united apparently keeping an eye on cole because they wont pay more than 12 mill for baines

firstly cole is the best left back in the world

i know hes gettin on a bit but what makes united think hes worth less than 12 mill?

It's just ferguson playing mind games. He's trying to unsettle the Chelsea squad. He must be bricking it already, we ain't even finished spending yet.

The fact that he turns 31 this year and he has 1 year left on his contract. nevertheless, he wont join man utd i can guarentee it

Not the point if he wanted cole now then he would have to cough up atleast 20 mill regardless of his age

fergie is a mug anyway people my disagree with my original post but i stick by the fact that cole is worth more than 12 mill

We had this in jan with frank just bs yet again

This site cracks me up! Anyone that scores u go mad asking if that player is wanted by Chelsea BUT! Sturridge scores a cracker and nufin gets said! Wot have I told u lot bout this bloke, play him in his right position and he will deliver the goods we Dnt need a big money name.


Pinky

He scores one decent goal, prior to that he played two very average games, and even yesterday he didn't play that well, made some poor decisions and was selfish at times. I'm not sure that one strike proves anything.

He played first two games as centr forward. And got subbed at half time and not long after, one goal in 3 games and 2 really really poor performances. Nice one

Id like to see you overcome viral meningitas fully within 2 weeks haha

Yer ive never been a fan of sturridge, but everyone convinced me on here to give him a chance up front so im going to this season. BLUEBOY1

3 poor performances he was dreadful yesterday

This is how thick u fans can be the bloke has just come back from a bad illness ant he aloud to get back to match fitness! Shocking and embrassing at some Chelsea fans! 100% clueless

Pinky

Not really pinky he was dreadful before he was ill do yourself a favour and stop embarissing yourself

Do you think he'd be playing if he wasn't fit enough?

IB.

Sturridge is as good as Wellbeck!

Pinky i am 100% behind you here, Studge to be El Ninos understudy this year!

AG

Embrassing myself lol the bloke scored 12 in a position he didn't want to play in hardly poor is it! but torres who can't trap a dead rat in a telephone booth u rave about! Sort urself out ur clueless and are an embarsment to the Chelsea fans!


Pinky

I like your metaphor but needless to say studge is not good enough

i dont rave about torres i just want him to be given a chance

few seasons back he was classed as top 3 strikers in the world

studge probably barely scraps the top 100 if he even does get there

but he may prove me wrong next season (i doubt it)

ur raving about him because he scored a good goal and a few last season he still doesnt pass EVER

them goals he scored most strikers could score in there sleep

I agree with you pinky hes brilliant but abit young just needs to pass more. With the through balls coming from mata hazard Marin an Oscar this season Sturridge is quick enough to get on to the end of it and put in the back of the net.

Blue con

Pinky im not being rude or nout who fk r u 2 judge hu shud be chelsea fans? peoples opinions m8 i h8 sturridge, but im willing 4 him to b 2nd choice, woopy he scored 1 good goal 11 tap ins 1 assist. a decent winger would of scored 12 and 15 assists
