Agree, they are good but Im much more inclined to give youth a chance to full up some of the squad roles instead of De jong or milner

For the love of god i hope we DO NOT get him

I agree its a great system but it does have its flaws.. Some of the players we have out on loan are just not good enough, but no club would buy them because they're on high enough wages as it is that we're paying .People like Marin and Kakuta are the flaws in our system, they're simply not good enough and we won't be able to make any money from them.

Very interesting indeed, but I feel he'll be wasted on our bench if we do get him

Im mixed about this, jose was saying the other day that its a priority to make sure he stays. But who knows what this window will have to offer

This is what almost every chelsea fan would prefer, but Jose prefers experience over youth, and that is clear

If we get Griezmann we won't have to sign any other attack minded player for a long time, and if we focus more on CM we have a squad capable of winning the UCL

While I am happy that we're getting probably the number 1 CB in the world right now, it seems bad for our youth respects like Zouma etc..

But he's much better defensively than Fabregas is, and he can play deeper. This means than Fabreas can move into the number 10, where he can be more creative, and behind him Koke can be more defensive while also being creative. But with Oscar in our team, fabregas is playing deeper, when most likely he'll be better as a number 10

Well said

Definitely dont want him, not worth the overhype or the overpaid wages he'll most likely get

Oh I agree that it works, Im just saying we should get rid of the ones we know for sure pretty much that wont work.. Like the German Messi for example

Oh I completely agree, but footballers are pretty much mostly idiots :P They don't know how to spend within their means and will just splash their money on all sorts of things, which is why most of them are broke now

I change my mind, I'd like to see him back part of our first team squad instead of MIkel or Ramires

Would be surprised to see him still with us when his contract is over

Just a waste tbh, i think we should be done buying players and shipping straight back out on loan. Unless we already get rid of quite a few of the no-hoper loanees we have out already that will never make it to our first team

Should only consider getting him if Cech is going. Otherwise I'd rather just let Blackman be our 3rd choice keeper

They're still very young and have already played a lot at the top level. Also Veratti is pretty good at what he does, sure he isn't perfect yet but he still needs more experience. Also, Marquinhos is probably the best young CB in the world after Varane. So I think he is a very good player, especially considering his age. He's been learning from Thiago Silva too which makes him all the more a attractive player to have in your team. Cash is indeed king, but I don't see Cech, especially at his age, going for any large sum

I understand where you're coming from, but you also got to understand that most footballers are done by the time they are around 30. Well, done playing at the top level anyway, so from then on wages are going to be very low and soon after they'll have to retire. Lets say you just retire at 35, you're gonna need the money you earned to pretty much last you the rest of your life. And if you live up to age 70, thats pretty much another 35 years to go without a job lasting on money you've already earned. So i can understand why they keep asking for more. Also regarding the thread itself, I wouldn't want him. Much rather give Bamford the 3rd choice striker slot, unless we sell Remy and Icardi is our no.2 then I wouldn't mind him

Turan is a very hard working player, but his output is similar to Oscar/Willian in that he doesnt score too many goals or create as many chances, there would be no real point in having him in our team when we already have similar players. Koke however I'd love to have, to play alongside Matic

Though I'd update my earlier post, with my preferred squad list for next season: Out: Ramires, Mikel, Luis, Drogba, Oscar, Salah, Kakuta, Marin, Moses, McEachran, Davila In: Koke, Bamford, Romeu, Baker, Kalas, Griezmann GK: Courtois, Cech, Blackman Defence: Terry, Cahill, Ivanovic, Azpilecueta, Zouma, Kalas, Ake CM: Matic, Cesc, Koke, Loftus-Cheek, Romeu AM: Hazard, Griezmann, Willian, Cuadrado, Baker CF: Costa, Remy, Bamford, Of course if there are injuries or other problems then a list of backup players: Brown, Solanke, Christensen, Traore? Swift? Chalobah?

Agree, although if there's a situation where Luis does get sold (as some rumours say) then I'd be happy to bring in Cresswell as backup to Azpi. But for 20m it seems very stupid, but for under 15m I think it'll be a okay deal. He's 25 too, so its not like if we did buy him, we're buying him young

I don't think they're worth it tbh. Yes they may be free but their wage bills will be a waste. Also they'll likely take up valuable squad positions which I would much rather give to people like RLC or Bamford. Plus most of them would struggle to get on our bench except maybe Khedira.

This. Willian may contribute more defensively, but when it comes to actually scoring goals/creating chances (like a winger should) then Griezmann is the much better option. Though I think Willian would be a great backup winger to bring on as a impact sub, his energy levels are insane, like Cuadrado

If he does end up at PSG, i'd be happy if they send verrati or Marquinhos the other way
