Especially boy hood fans, please come Luke.

Ideally if we sign Luke and loan him back to Saints for another season or so would be excellent.

Why the *bleep* would we sign a bloody 18 year old for 30m(criminal in itself)....and then proceed to loan him back for another season? Laughing

Rumour time:

Apparently Barca are interested in up to 6 Chelsea players:
Thibaut Courtois - €25 million
David Luiz - €26 million
Branislav Ivanovic - €19 million
Eden Hazard - €45 million
Ramires - €30 million
Romelu Lukaku - €25 million

I doubt they'll sign any, but I'd sell them Ramires for that price.

According to the Daily Mirror, Real Madrid, Man U, Liverpool and Man City are all interested in Ashley Cole.

Finally:

The FC Zurich corresponds to the desire of U16 players Miro Muheim, to accept the offer of Chelsea FC and move in the summer in the youth department of the London Premier League club. About the transfer fee was not disclosed.

Apparently he's a CM.

Barca wanting Ramires is the most rofl

recurring rumour around.

A side built on and around pure technique wanting a player that has none of it. Okay.

Liverpool and Chelsea eyeing Fenerbahce midfielder Caner Erkin, player's agent says:
Liverpool and Chelsea could be set to battle it out for the signature of 25-year-old Fenerbahce midfielder Caner Erkin when his contract with the Turkish giants expires this summer, according to the player's representative, Batur Altıparmak
http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/liverpool-chelsea-fight-out-fenerbahces-3517618

"I don't usually like giving names but it is great for the players confidence that clubs like Liverpool and Chelsea are showing an interest."

"However, a few clubs have made offers for Caner, two clubs from England have made a bid and he has also received offers from Spain and Italy."

by Kick Sat May 10, 2014 1:46 am

I don't know anything about him.

by Shed Sat May 10, 2014 2:06 am

Never even heard of him till this evening Laughing

by Soul Sat May 10, 2014 2:02 pm

According to Mou, we're gonna be signing a striker and releasing another one.

Ba is the one that looks most likely to leave as he has confirmed himself. And Torres as well, hopefully, if his Inter move goes through.

So, new marquee striker, Eto'o and Lukaku?

by Shed Sat May 10, 2014 2:12 pm

Would love Eto'o to stay but just can't see it personally.

Jose likes to keep some oldies around, there are stories that he wants to offer all three, Terry, Cole and Lampard, extensions. Out of your current strikers, he'd probably like Eto'o to stay the most.

by Shed Sat May 10, 2014 5:51 pm

As would most of us, but all signs point to all 3 leaving.

by Soul Sat May 10, 2014 11:22 pm

That's what I think as well. But a complete striker overhaul just seems unlikely.

Speculation over Chelsea interest in Manchester City star Edin Dzeko grows as Mourinho says striker would be his Premier League Player of the Season:
Jose Mourinho has reignited speculation over a Chelsea pursuit of Edin Dzeko by stating that he believes the Manchester City hitman should be the Premier League "player of the year"; and with the 28-year-old Bosnian having just a year left on his contract, the striker could be sold if he doesn't agree a new deal early this summer

by Soul Sat May 10, 2014 11:38 pm

Well he never said he's interested in the Dzeko.

Even if he was, would the guy be an upgrade to our current crop of strikers? He's been pretty inconsistent throughout the season

by Shed Sun May 11, 2014 12:34 am

And has still scored almost as many as all of ours combined in less than half the games.

Chelsea Strikers — 67 appearances, 18 goals
Dzeko — 30 appearances, 16 goals

by Soul Sun May 11, 2014 1:04 am

Fair point. Would you take him over Costa?

I would, i am not completely convinced if Costa is worth big money spending. With Dzeko you know he would come at a reasonable price. So you are not all in, with Costa we could have another Torres situation. Plus i genuinely rate Dzeko.

by huntsman Sun May 11, 2014 3:17 am

I would take Dzeko over Costa as well.

by Kick Sun May 11, 2014 4:13 am

Dzeko over Costa? No thanks.

by Shed Sun May 11, 2014 5:43 am

Good thing we won't be going for either :coffee:

Apparently Luiz is going to sign for Barca:

Not sure I believe it though.

by Nedved Sun May 11, 2014 7:01 am

Dzeko will be a great addition if he wants to leave city.

Marca reported some time this year that RM, Monaco & City met for players exchange : Di Maria to Monaco, Falcao to City & Aguero to Madrid. This may have fallen apart with 2 of the players injured. If not then Dzeko would want to leave. He will be a good buy.

by Kick Sun May 11, 2014 7:08 am

TBH, I'd take Dzeko for anything under 20m.

That said, I'd only take him as a second choice. I wouldn't want him as my main CF.

by huntsman Sun May 11, 2014 9:01 am

main cf should be lukaku.

we need another technical forward to play behind lukaku.

Chelsea transfer news: Tottenham's Paulinho seeking reported move to Chelsea after World Cup
http://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football/transfers/chelsea-transfer-news-tottenhams-paulinho-seeking-reported-move-to-chelsea-after-world-cup-9344870.html

Tottenham midfielder Paulinho could leave the club just a year after joining from Brazilian side Corinthians after reports emerged that he would like a move to Chelsea following this summer’s World Cup.

Paulinho has been selected in Luis Felipe Scolari’s Brazil squad for the home World Cup, but he could be on his way to Stamford Bridge soon after with the club identifying the 25-year-old as an ideal replacement for Frank Lampard.

Chelsea given Diego Costa boost as Atletico Madrid line up replacement
http://www.express.co.uk/sport/football/474983/Chelsea-given-Diego-Costa-boost-as-Atletico-Madrid-line-up-replacement

Jose Mourinho has reportedly convinced owner Roman Abramovich to meet the Costa's £32million buyout clause as he looks to make up for a trophyless campaign next year.

And now reports in Spain suggest Atletico boss Diego Simeone has turned his attention to Santos front man Damiao, who has been linked with a move to Spurs over the last 18 months.

Despite him only joining the Brazil giants in January, Atletico are prepared to offer £10m for him when the transfer window reopens.

Premier League: Ryan Bertrand ready for talks with Chelsea over his future
http://www1.skysports.com/football/news/11677/9305335/premier-league-ryan-bertrand-ready-for-talks-with-chelsea-over-his-future

It's something we'll sit down and talk about in the summer. At this stage in my career I need to be playing. I don't want to be sat on the bench next season, so that is something we will discuss in the summer.

No thanks to Paulinho, he's been so poor for Spurs.

As for Berty, he is basically saying "Sell me, I want to play".
