Re: The 2016 January Transfer Window Thread

Even if we don't, it most likely means a step-up in the pecking order for Loftus-Cheek. And he'll certainly be an improvement on Ramires.

[Kick]

Indeed. It'll mean much more gametime for RLC.

I would like to see a CM come in, though.

That way we could sell Mikel to China, too

[Shed]

[Kick]

I just checked, the Star are reporting that we are refusing to sell him.

FFS.

[Shed]

Getting rid of 2 established CM's (when we're already hardly rife with them...) in the middle of a struggling season? Can't say I'm surprised we're unwilling to.

[Kick]

I know. As long as we sign one in either the Summer or the next week.

[Kick]

Apparently Cahill wants to leave due to lack of Game time, to ensure his Euro spot for England.

Elsewhere, every single rag is reporting that we're set to sign Matt Miazga from NYRB, here is one of the reports:
http://www.espnfc.com/new-york-red-bulls/story/2795020/matt-miazga-set-to-join-chelsea-of-the-premier-league

By the sounds of it, he is a young player with decent potential and good ball skills for a CB. Possibly either Djilobodji's replacement or he'll join the loan army.

Perhaps he'll replace Cahill, if we sell him, too.

[Shed]

Reduced to recruiting MLS nobodies. The depths we've fallen to

[Kick]

is he actually a nobody, or is he decent?

[Kick]

Sky Sports are reporting that Miazga has passed his medical with us. He could potentially be our Djilobodji replacement for this season.

Apparently a Chinese club wants Falcao, perhaps this is causing the delay in the Pato signing.

Marotta, Juve's Director claims they still want to buy Cuadrado.

Charly Musonda has reportedly been loaned to Real Betis for 18 months.

Lastly, Cahill is attracting interest from Roma, but Chelsea do not want to lose him. Fair enough.

[Kick]

Also, apprently we're looking at RVP.

Perhaps we are legitimately looking at matches from 2011 and buying players based on those games?


We are apparently also looking at Carvajal, if he keeps getting left out of the Madrid squad, I wouldn't be opposed to that.

[Kick]

Musonda has been loaned to Real Betis for the rest of the season.

While it's being reported that we've accepted a 11.5m pound offer for Remy from Leicester.

Hiddink has confirmed Cahill will stay with us, too.

[Shed]

Leicester are gonna win the league ffs

[Kick]

We kept Remy

We sold Ramires

We sold Djilobodji

We kept Cahill

We bought Miazga

We bought Pato

We kept Falcao

We now have 5 CF's for 1 position

But... There is a chance Falcao could still leave to China

Overall, an ok window. Could have been much worse.

[Kick]

Also, Does MVG's move to PSV kill his Chelsea career?

He is 23 now.

[Shed]

It's certainly not looking good for him.

[Kick]

Alex Teixeira is moving to China
