Xabi Alonso signed new contract with Real Madrid. Guarin isn't coming as well.
There is serious possibility that Matic will go to Man.City-that is something Chelsea must not let to happen.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Xabi's situation has been explained, at length, by ed002 for a number of months. We were never in the race. Its the 9th of Jan, so I see no sense in your comment on Guarin, then again I see little sense in a lot of things you post.

Who cares if City get Matic? He is a great player granted, but hugely overhyped by posters on this page. If City want to spend £40m on a player who will play, possibly, every second game, I won't be fussed. As Ed002 has said we are working on targets. We will not pay above our valuation, which is absolutely fantastic. We will be fine, no matter what happens.

Please ness, stop reading rubbish rags. I come on this page so I don't have to trawl through the vast amounts of bs they publish. Relax, and wait til the window closes. Have faith in your club and your manager. Its frustrating seeing so little of it.

Next time you get worried, look at the table, search for Man Utd, and smile mate. Still 20 odd days to go. The time to worry isn't now.

Melbourne, I
have never expected Alonso at Chelsea it was natural he will end his career at Real Madrid and if he any chance decided to end his career in England it would be LFC for sure. Simply Chelsea has missed to many good players in past several years. Ozil twice, Khedira, Y.Toure, Henderson, Fernandinho, Modric, Fellaini, Dembele, Cavani, Higuain, Falcao, Negredo, DiMaria, Isco etc. It's simply too much to lose Matic wherim back. If Man.City gets him they will have a long term replacement for Y.Toure and we won't be able to match them for 4-5years. So off course I am worried. Man.City is getting players they really need and Chelsea is simply tripling AM's like Willian signing. It's time to act now summer might be too late. Chelsea was in pole position to have hgh

Henderson?! Really dude?! And also its we've gotten our fair share of good players don't forget that. Plus I hardly think losing Matic would mean we would be behind city. Chill dude really. You're over reacting.

Agree0 Disagree0

Hazard, Mata, Oscar, Ramires, Luiz, Azpillicueta, Courtois, Lukaku, Kalas, Piazon etc. etc. etc. (and before you mention the youth that are yet to get a crack, they are all better than Henderson, and your point is we aren't signing players we need.

Mate i'm not sure how much Portuguese football you watch (after your schurrle comments the other week, i'm going to assume none, but Matic ain't the best out there. As its been said on here before, he is a slightly better version of Mikel. If he was really that talented you think we would've sold him in the first place?

From the sounds of things you want us to sign every half decent player, no matter the price. You think if a player, any player, signs for someone else, we've missed out. What on earth would we do with Oezil? We have Oscar and Mata for that role already. He wasn't available until RM completed the Bale signing, and we didn't need him. Willian is a completely different player, and much to my surprise is doing a fantastic job.

Relax man, this is real life, not Fifa14

Agree0 Disagree0

Willian, Hazard, Dave and Terry have all been fantastic in the last 10 games.
Willian gives us pace and trickery on the wing something we lack apart from Hazard. Great buy.

Ed002 in your opinion is Chelsea going to sign any player in January. Please don't mention Traore he was already Chelsea player.

{Ed002's Note - As I have explained Chelsea are making an effort. Read the posts.}

Sorry but your last 30-40 posts were read previous posts? Or no, or nothing new.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed002's Note - So what would you like me to say?}

Ness, with all due respect I say this. But if there's nothing new to report what do you want them to say? Just making stuff up to keep us happy in the meantime won't help us either come the end of January. I'm sure Ed will update us if there are significant developments.

Is Luke Shaw world class? I don't think so. Is he better than Bertrand? Maybe because he's been playing regular first team football. Bertrand hasn't been terrible whenever he has played. Why not allow him and PvA to compete for the LB spot next season and se where we are first before making a final decision on them instead of splashing money on a kid who may just be as good? I believe both Patrick van Anholt and Bertrand are home grown and have potential to be world class. Cole can leave in the summer, as well as Lampard and Essien. Mikel will be here as cover to whoever we get in that position.

I commonly agree with your opinions but this one I struggle to. The point of saying someone's world class is to demonstrate they're elite in comparison so to say an 18 year old isn't world class is somewhat laughable. I would like to see what pva could do but if Jose is willing to give cezar a go on the left with Bertrand not even getting a sniff is telling. And Bertrand is 26 so I'm not sure how much ceiling he has to reach and I'd be floored if he ever became considered world class. He's a great servant but he's not the answer. Shaw is 4 to 8 years younger than both of them and better than Bertrand and excelling in a far superior league to pva.

100% agree!

What is the point of all these youth if they're hardly ever going to get a proper chance? At least give someone a run of games to see how he does before discarding them.

Agree0 Disagree0

I think Bertrand has played some brilliant games for us, and it's a shame he won't get the chance, van aanholt is the best in holland right now, attacking wise is outstanding. Shaw is very young and I'll stand by what I say about players under 21 playing so much is injury problems through out their careers.
