Use our rumours form to send us chelsea transfer rumours.

I really don't understand the obsession with us buying a striker in Jan. From reading the posts it seems everyone has forgotton about a certain goal machine who will be returning home in the summer and if you look at the way he studies the game, looks after himself & the attitude he has I'm sure he will soon be one of the worlds best. To be fair lying where we are in the table with the strikers we have, in the form they've been in is surely a good thing? They can't be much worse so the only way is up! As for the situation with mata something clearly doesn't add up. I'm hoping it's an incredibly astute wee bit of coaching by Jose considering every manager complains that in the BPL players are completely burnt out by the end of the season, save Juan for when he's really needed, wishful thinking I know but this is Jose we're talking about.

Right! Eds (apart from ed02 because I know u won't wanna get involved in value of a player but u can join in if u want to give a figure) and fellow Chelsea fans! Am in a debate (argument) with a lot of my m8s regarding how much mata is worth. My m8s reckon he worth 25m max am just not having that! that's an insult to the player. I reckon he is worth 35-40m! But I also see in the press figures of 20m surely he worth double that look at him last season! If we was trying to buy him now we have to pay 30m+. So can someone tell me what sort of price we should be looking at if we decide to sell.

I wouldn't accept a bid below £35 mil personally.

Agree0 Disagree0

I feel his value is somewhere between 30 and 35 mil. If you asked me at the beginning of the season I would have said around 40.

Agree0 Disagree0

£30mil tops.
Very Good player but a lacks pace and can only play 1 position.

On a website called transfer markt it gives you the valuation Of the whole squad and says mata is worth 39.5 mil

Agree0 Disagree0

Mata got just as many goals and more assists than bale last year and bale was 100m. I'd not accept anything under £40m.

Agree0 Disagree0

Guys, please stop for God sake.

It baffles me why we are going for guarin instead of Vidal. Similar type of player but Vidal is far better. Surely he'd rather come to us than united?

Believable0 Unbelievable0

He would cost much more.

Agree0 Disagree0

Yeah cost 3x as much but he'd be there long term where as guarin will be there for year or 2

Ed, who do you expect to be signed? (Mids)

Thanks

{Ed002's Note - If a deal can be done for the right price, Guarin.}

Ed, what sort of midfielder is he? Any players he has a similar style to?

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed002's Note - I would suggest looking at YouTube.}

All I've found is goals, even Bendtner has a goal montage lol. Doesn't say much about his playing style. Would he be deep alongside Rami or one of the front 3?

Agree0 Disagree0

Best thing to do geezer would be to ask an ed on the player profiles page to profile him, unless a poster has watched plenty of Seria A (sorry can't help with that), although I'm of the opinion he can play both as a centre or an attacking mid. I've not seen enough of him though to give you a detailed description, sorry mate.

Agree0 Disagree0

Watched something yesterday and it said he can play centre mid defensive or right mid

Agree0 Disagree0

Cheers ed

And guarin, I seen a couple games and he is much better attacking, can't tackle, good passer and runner, he's alright, he can play defensive though, like arterta

If only it was this easy.

Aurelio De Laurentiis, "so Roman, you say you want Higuain"?

Roman Abramovich, "yeah, papers are saying you want Mata; is this true"?

Aurelio De Laurentiis, "yes it is true, I'll give you Higuain for Mata and a bit moolah in my sky rocket; fancy it"?

Roman Abramovich, "sounds good to me, why don't you bring your chopper to my yacht and we can sort out the nitty gritty"?

Aurelio De Laurentiis, "beautiful; see you there".

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Jose, "I didn't want Higuain, where's Mata?'

Roman, "Urr, promise you won't be mad. "

Agree0 Disagree0

Lol gezzar, funny that reply :-)

Hi Eds, I hope you had a merry Christmas and a happy New Year. I just have a little question. Personally I expect De Bruyne to be sold, sadly, but would Chelsea consider a buy-back clause like when they sold Bruma? In case he does really well.

{Ed002's Note - I would doubt it.}

If anyone could have 2 signings with 2 outgoing by the end of the window who would they be?

In:


Mandzukic - With the Lewandowski signing apparently imminent in the next few day a big strong striker like Mandzukic with a great work rate would be good for us.

Matic - A strong defensive midfielder who has a good all round game. Would be ideal alongside Ramires with Oscar in front.

Out:

Mata - a great player but doesn't seem like he's going to fit into mourinho's style of play. We should be getting at least 30 million plus.

De Bruyne - hasn't done a lot in the game time he's been given. Deserves a lot more regular game time to show his true quality.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

The Mandzukic signing definitely won't happen. Dortmund won't let Lewandowski go to Bayern now. If a deal is imminent, it will be so that he can go in the summer.

Agree0 Disagree0

I understand that but ssn transfer blog has linked Mandzukic with Juventus because the Lewandowski signing is imminent. Just saying that if he does become available this month he wouldn't cost as much as most and would be a great stop gap until Lukaku is ready.

Agree0 Disagree0

I was aiming to be somewhat realistic in doing this.
In:
Pogba and zouma (I'd love shaw but he's going to be impossible until the summer)
Out:
Ba and mata (he won't fit our system and his value is plummeting).
