I no it would be expensive but have we any interest or any chance of signing julian draxler {Ed002's Note - There have been offers and enquiries for Draxler. Both Milan clubs, Manchester City, Real Madrid, Arsenal and Chelsea have enquired at one level or another about Draxler - each has met a "not for sale" barrier. I don't really expect a move this coming January.}

If Mata is to leave he is the ideal replacement, has the motor and physique that I think Mourinho would like at CAM.

Regarding the defender situation - who is most likely out of Otamendi, Mangala and Zouma? These seem to be the main 3 unless you know of others? {Ed002's Note - I can't measure "most likely".}

Our interest I would assume should be Varane - Malanga - Otamendi
Well that is what I hope anyway

Hi Ed - are we still keen on Jackson Martinez? It seems we're looking at bringing a centre back in the next window or end of the season. Do you see this being a replacement for Luiz? {Ed002's Note - (a) Nothing has changed with Martinez - Porto don't want to sell at this time. (b) There is interest in a centre back but don't read it as a replacement for Luiz.}

So is it likely that Yilmaz is going to be the most likely target come January.
Re the centre back situation - that would mean we'd have 4 strong CB's, 5 if you include Ivanovic. Surely there's not chance of JT or Cahill being let go? {Ed002's Note - Yilmaz remains of interest to Chelsea and there is a chance a deal can be done in January. Terry is getting older, and slower and is probably a season and a half away from retirement.}

Cheers Ed, very helpful. Do you think there's a chance we could go back in for Lewandowski? Seems his move to Bayern isn't as nailed on as first thought. {Ed002's Note - Right now it is less likely as the club has already been around that loop.}
