The 2015 Summer Transfer Rumour Thread
So it's almost April, which means it's almost May, which means it's almost the end of the season which means transfer rumours! and plenty of them!
We've been linked to plenty of players already, Green, Gomes, Douglas Costa, and Youri Tielemans have all been linked to us recently.
We'll likely see a bit of activity as Cech is probably leaving. He could be joined by Drogba, Luis, Van Ginkel out the exit door. It is not outside the realms of possibility that Ramires or/and Mikel could leave too.
That certainly leaves room for purchases, so I figured I'd start this thread with my usual predictions:
Out:
Cech 10m
Ramires 15m
In:
Green/Ruddy 1-7m
Douglas Costa 18m
Andre Gomes/Khedira 25m/FREE
Squad:
GKS
Courtois, Green/Ruddy, Blackman
DEF
Ivanovic, Terry, Cahill, Zouma, Christensen, Luis, Azpilicueta
CM
Matic, Fabregas Gomes/Khedira, Mikel, Loftus-Cheek
AM
Hazard, Oscar, Willian, Cuadrado, Douglas Costa, Baker
CF
Diego Costa, Remy, Drogba
Make it happen, Jose

Also, you're dreaming if you think we won't sign another centre-half this summer. Nailed on, imo.

Re: The 2015 Summer Transfer Rumour Thread
I don't think we will, unless it's Varane. Jose doesn't like rotation and our three main CB's have proved themselves enough. Jose wouldn't use a fourth unless it's someone he already knows.Shed wrote:Also, you're dreaming if you think we won't sign another centre-half this summer. Nailed on, imo.

I honestly don't mind the AM's we have now, sure our form has dipped but we'd be playing better with a few more competitive players so our players were less tired.

Is this not a contradiction?
The reason our players are tired is because Jose refuses to rotate. The reason Jose refuses to rotate, ostensibly, is because he doesn't trust the back-ups. And the reason he doesn't trust the back-ups is because they're painfully average. Mikel is spotty and Ramires is just awful. Had we actually had a half-decent CM or two on the bench, not only would the two starters not be so damn tired having featured in just about every game we've played this season, but they might actually have some pressure on them to maintain their form thus possibly preventing, for example, the kind of decline we've seen from Cesc the last few months.

Re: The 2015 Summer Transfer Rumour Thread
What I forgot to mention is that I would like us to add one. Not an over the top, WC AM, but someone who is good enough to compete.
If we had someone who could compete with Cesc and Rotate well with our AM's, we'd be a lot less tired than we are now.

Sure...forgot... 
Anyway I agree. The fact that both of them know they can play as poorly as they want and still be on the teamsheet every week does not help us.

Re: The 2015 Summer Transfer Rumour Thread
I simply do not wish to go into next season, with Willian as our #1 RW.
I feel we need a CM and plus RAM. Dougles is on par with Willian and Cuadrado. I feel it is such a bad signing.

Cuadrado will take that RW spot, given time. IMO
Honestly, if it were me I'd get Koke and De Bruyne. I'd also release Drogba and bring in Bamford. Perhaps get Varane, too.

Douglas is two times the player Oscar is. Up there with Hazard.

Just like Kaka was Madrid's answer all along. Mate, he really isn't that good. A solid player and a decent back up, but not Hazard level. That is just stupidity.

Not really.
I am not a fan of Cesc. He's very slow and is blown away like a stick in every encounter.
Cesc and Oscar are good subs not more. Ramires and Mikel are useless.
You don't like Willian? fine, but you better get a good replacement or let him play instead of Ramires.

There's a difference between having the potential and tapping into it. Mourinho's Madrid didn't know how to trust Kaka. Plus there was the Ozil debacle and Khedira. They were preferred by Mourinho.
Douglas is not better than Hazard but he will be up there with him to complement him.
Let me add that I would like either Ibra or Benzema to replace Drogba.

This.
No more average players. What's the point of having 3 players of similarly ability in 1 position. Id rather have someone like Rues or similar aboilty over all 3 of Willian, Cuadrado and D.Costa

Re: The 2015 Summer Transfer Rumour Thread
What I would do.
Out:
- Cech
9m
- Mikel 8m
- Willian/Oscar/Caudrado 25m
- Cahill 12m
In
- 1 Good CB 20m to partner Zouma or Ivanovic
- Ricardo Rodrigues 25m, Azpi move to RB Ivan as permanent CB
- 1 backup keeper (Green, Ruddy,??)
- 1DM Maybe Morgan Schindelin
- Rues/Koke/??? 40m someone better than the shit we have right now
Net spend 60m and we would be set for years

I don't care where he plays and I don't go with the hype.
I know when I see a good player.
He has all the weapons to fire on all frontiers.

How much did we pay for Cuadrado?
Also, I still believe everyone is writing Cuadrado off too early.

Willian 18
Cuadrado 20

Should have included "apart from us", as we're the kings of paying huge sums for bang average players.
