It's not because you have the financial power, you can start throwing away money. Besides, AC Milan got new Chinese owners who want to prove themselves and they will throw stupid money at anyone who can kick a ball.

I honestly can't see why we would pay 70mil for him. Keeping in mind that Abraham might be joining the squad in the near future I do think getting an older striker is the perfect solution, just not for this price.

Still think he might be our best option (besides Batshuayi), did Sky write anything on a transfer fee ?

The only number I'm seeing in 17.

I honestly can't think of a reason why Cahill gets all this sh*t thrown at him. Is it because people like to compare him to Terry ? I think he is a great captain, and a great defender who picks a goal or three a season. And I for one think you can't start a match with an English team without an English player on the pitch. Most people here complaining about him need to start getting their head out of their *ss.

Jose only plays 3-5-2 against weaker teams, against a decent opponent in a real game his formation probably will be an old fashioned 7-2-1.

What ever happend to Blackman ?

How can this even be a rumour, we don't need someone like him. We could have just stayed with Costa if Aguero does join us. But I rate this rumour even lower than the PEA one.

I'm glad to see Michy making such a good impression. I hope Conte will make him his first striker during pre season, and who knows, he may end up becoming our first striker in general. The lack of CL experience is hardly relevant, I can't remember Drogba having CL experience. Michy is a smart striker (unlike Lukaku who just is the equivalent of an angry running bull), who can deliver great passes and fits perfectly with Hazard's style of playing. And for God sake, we payed 30mil for him.

Conte doesn't seem the type to just put a bunch of 20 year olds on the pitch. Having worked with a rather old Juve and Italy squad.

I thought Dembele was going to Dortmund, may explain why they are trying to get rid of Aub.

But waiting won't solve our HG problem, unless we start shipping in players from our youth squads.

I still don't get where the Sanchez idea comes from, I mean would you take him as your main striker ? Unless you play with a false 9, like Napoli did last season.

The guy in the Chelsea shirt is NOT Bakayoko. I repeat, that's NOT Bakayoko.

What the h*ll is going on in Milan, a proper example of buying the league. I still don't believe Belotti will join us, there is just no way we are going to pay that price. Looks like Michy is going nowhere, so maybe he will be our first striker. And in all honesty, we did pay 30mil for this guy, why not give him a try. His cup game against Spurs was very promising.

Can't we put OX in the Pedro role ? With Hazard out, Pedro and Willian both will be starting (I guess). And due to the amount of games at the start of the season, we can't only use Musonda as a sub.

Hi everyone, Been reading here for a while and fingers started getting itching to interact. As the title says, I'm Belgian, my favourite (current) player is my fellow Belgian Eden Hazard, but John Terry is my all time favourite. My favourite Belgian side is STVV (who also have a rich owner, a weird board and the colour blue in their shirts). I've never been to a game, but visited Stamford Bridge last year. My nickname is im honour of Geert De Vlieger (De Vlieger = The Flyer according to old google translate) former goalkeeper for Belgium and current football analyst for Belgian tv.
