Have I had my head in the sand, or has Bamford still not gone out on loan?

Not moved yet, played for the U21's at the weekend.

Thanks Steve

I really hope our summer spending isn't finished. been dead the last few weeks!

Hope the likes of Mikel, Torres n possible Ramires all move on.

Mine and most people choices would be pogba, varane and a striker.

Ed's any updates on any movements, attempts or possible interests.

Thank's

{Ed005's Note - Another Editor says there are still people trying to make some things happen at Chelsea so we can all wait and see what comes of it. }

Thanks ed005!
Fingers crossed!

Pogba and Varane is just being greedy we've got Fabregas - Matic - Oscar in midfield and I still can't wait to see what Van Ginkel has to offer being more box to box he could take Oscar's place if he's getting an extended rest. Also remember Ramires was better utilized in a 4-3-3 to help his bursts of pace so he should be a much better player this year.

We have Cahill, Terry, Ivanovic and Zouma for centre half which is probably the best in Europe IMO. If Terry retires next season THEN go for Varane.

The only position we now need is striker but that won't change until we get rid of Torres I'm hoping we can get rid of him and bring Bony in who is available.

It's so obvious that JM doesn't want to get rid of Torres. About the rest that you have wrote I fully agree.

We have great long term options at CB, as well as Zouma we have Omeruo and Kalas on loan and Ake (although he is playing less and less at CB) Chalobah and Christensen coming through the youth ranks.

Although I think Varane is a great player I would actually be slightly disappointed if we signed him, we could have a fantastic defense in a few years without spending anything.

I don't think it's a case that JM wants to keep Torres.

If the right offer came in from someone who was willing to pay the wage he demanded I get the feeling he'd be out the door. Not slowly. Very quickly on fact.

Chn I doubt JM wants to keep Torres. Maybe last year he might of, so he could get an ego boost if he got the old Torres back. But now I'm sure he's realised that it won't happen. The fact is no-one wants to pay £175k/w for a crocked Torres.

Fuser, Torres doesn't want to leave. In every JMs statement about Torres JM is seeing Torres as Chelsea player. Probably he has some reason to speak about Torres the way he does. If we get any top class striker instead of Nando that player would cost at least 200000€ per week as well as Torres or even much more. Falcao is on 280000€ net per week, Cavani is on 250000€ per week.

Of course Torres doesn't want to leave. He'd rather run down his contract than take a massive pay cut and leave. I doubt JM wants Torres at Chelsea despite what he's stated publicly. Do you expect he'd say anything different? That JM would come out and say that we've been trying to flog Torres but no-one wants him?
