*Transfers special* What players should Chelsea sell and buy in the summer?

Maybe Sturridge should learn to pass first...

Well if Sturridge goes then there'd be no need to loan Lukaku IMO

We could rotate Lukaku & Torres up front. Hulk on one end and Ramires on the other! :dance:

LOL Hazard never said he wants the no.10, he said he wants to play as the number 10 like behind the striker.

Silva has always been number.21, Aguero is most likely to get that number at City if Dzeko leaves.

Lukaku needs to go on loan he needs to play every week IMO, if Stoke are in for him then it's good tbh because he needs to learn how to use his body better etc and where else is better at that then Stoke?

Left to me if I had to choose between keeping Sturridge and keeping Robbie, I'd keep Robbie in a heartbeat!

Doubt Sturridge would quit us IMO, he has just made the first team. But if I had to choose, it would probably be Robbie.

Hot off the french press

L'Equipe claim Hazard will join Chelsea. He doesn't want City because of the Competition which only left United and Chelsea, and ifvthe report is to be believed, he chose us.

Also, English press (The Times, I think) say we have bought VDW for £8m.

Double for both deals.

We should buy Marouane Fellaini


Give David Luiz some competition

Fellaini would certainly be an improvement on RM16 and Ess.

There were rumours that Meireles wanted to leave at the end of the season because of AVB's departure. Not sure if he still feels the same way. Would be great if we could sell him for the same price and get Fellaini though.

Or just give him to everton for Fellaini.

I won't mind that plus we would troll those reds.

Not sure he'd want to go to Everton though LOL. Not sure Everton would like the deal either.

How about, Yossi + Raul + cash for Fellaini.

Trollololololololo.

:lol!:

If that ever happened I would laugh my rear off for months!


Won't though

Don't think Moyes would be dumb enough to accept that LOL.

No, maybe someone needs to wack him over the head so he does.


Anway, while on the subject of Mr. Yossi Benayoun. Should he stay or go? (not sure if I asked this already)

If you ignore his comments throughout the year I would be happy to keep him. Decent back up for LW/AM/RW and doesn't ask much. Very good tacticly too.

However, his comments mean most fans hate him or dislike him now. So I imagine he will be sold soon. Shame because I prefer him to FloMo. Then again I prefer Malaria to FloMo.

No. Sell Yossi straight away. Don't want him at the Bridge!

Figured as much.

We should let him follow Bosingwa

Inbetween my exam revision I thought I would come up with my revamped changes for next season. (yes, I love doing these, Sue me)

Gks: no need for any changes here, Loan out Courtois to Ateltico again and keep the rest. loan or sell Taylor and Walker.

RB: Ivanovic is our starting RB no doubt but he needs a backup, the most likely player to fill that void at present is Van Der Wiel with Azpilicueta, Debuchy, Montoya and Inkoom other options. I am going to assume one of the first two joins. Ferreira will be third choice and may play 3 games.

CB: no need for any change here, Terry and Luiz as starters, Cahill as back up and Ivanovic as fourth. loan out the rest or keep them in the youth ranks.

LB: we have Ash and Berty, that is all we need. any rumours about our LB's will be wrong. Loan out PVA somewhere he will get gametime.

CM/DM: Lampard and Mikel will remain our starters next season. Oriol, Ramires and Raul will be our backups unless we pull a Benayoun on Meireles. Essien is also here incase of injury but I imagine McEachran will go on loan unless he learns how to defend over the summer. This area is lacking creativity so I personally would buy Joe Allen or try and loan in Sahin. if that fails, bring in one of Witsel or Fellaini, for the sweet sweet 'Fro's.

AM;: probably our most Baron area. Mata is our only well known AM with Marin or Meireles as the only decent backups (Lampard is too old to play here IMO). If we end up losing Mata through injury I suggest we go back to 4-3-3. Sell Benayoun.

Wing: The area we desperately need players, the only decent winger we have in the 4-2-3-1 is Ramires. He will start there next season too I think. That leaves one starting spot up for grabs. I personally don't care if it is Hulk or Hazard who fills it, just as long as it is one of those two. Gaitian or Levezzi are other options. We then have the Back ups of FloMo, Marin and Sturridge. De Bruyne and Kakuta are possibles to stay but I think both will go on loan again.

CF: Torres and Sturridge will be our main men next year. Lukaku to go on loan and Hulk to be a backup if we buy him. Outside bet of us buying another CF but I don't see it happening.

Squad:
Gk; Cech, Hilario, Turnbull
RB: Ivanovic, VDW/Azpilicueta, Ferreira
CB: Terry, Luiz, Cahill, Ivanovic
LB: Cole, Bertrand, Ferreira
DM/CM: Lampard, Mikel, Romeu, Meireles/Allen/Fellaini, Ramires, Essien
AM: Mata, Marin, Meireles
Wing: Ramires, Hulk/Hazard, Marin, Malouda, Sturridge
CF: Torres, Sturridge, Hulk*

*if we buy him.

Starting XI:

I completely agree with the formation you mentioned kick. I hate the transfer window, everything goes so slowly

Yes, I wish it was like a week long so all of the transfers happened at once.

Then maybe one week after preseason.

Did anyone see Denmark vs Brazil? Hulk just owned them.. he is like a more clinical, built and technically advanced version of Sturridge tbh.

Eden Hazard on Twitter:

Good afternoon guys. I made up my mind. See you later. Thanks


HE'S FINALLY DECIDED, HE'S GONNA HAVE SALAD FOR LUNCH
