I do lol, it just boggles my mind how we have nearly 30 loanees, and most of them will never make the 1st team? Just seems like a massive waste. Like why not loan out youth products we have that need more game time, and also have a good chance of making the first team instead of people like Marin and Kakuta..

So who do you propose we sell these players to? They are on decent wages and as you said arent any good, mo club that can afford their wages want to buy them.

I would really like us to sign Gundogun.. if he's available at right price.

Gundogan is ideal, but not sure he's going to come to sit on bench. Arsenal would have a start spot for him; the same with city too.

Bench? He'd start right next to Matic.

+1 for Gundogan

 

Can play in the 'double pivot' alongside Matic (dependant on opposition), but for me seems better suited to a box to box role in a midfield three... not sure he's the 'Mou type' though (i.e. in so far that defensively he can be a liability)

 

In other news....

 

"Chelsea will reportedly offer John Obi Mikel in a transfer swap-deal for Southampton’s Morgan Schneiderlin this summer."

But fabregas is better used deeper, no? i am confused with fabregas' ideal position tbh; some say he is better off deeper, he himself says that's a comfortable position for him, but then he can also play in the no10 role, so i'm not sure exactly where he's 100% effective. He has played his best football for us in the deeper role this season.

Schneiderlin is a good player and I'd certainly welcome him but I'd be sad to see Mikel leave.

Only the Metro but I'd be okay with this. Future pairing on Zouma & Laporte would be nice plus doing one over on the Mancs is a bonus.

I personally wouldn't like us to go anywhere near Gundogan, his injury record is a big concern.

 

I really think we should go for Schneiderlin. He's a very good player and would count as homegrown.

Fabregas is good in deep postions against FTB teams, but against big teams, or physical teams away from home he plays #10.

Would love to sell plenty of the loanees we have right now and integrate more academy products. Dont like how Jose always goes for experience over youth players and doesnt give them enough chances

Donnie darko my love, As you know, We rely on the whole system to make money,  This genius has been saying sell them all and buy 1st team marquee signings

over and over if you track back...

@luc_bvb: Ilkay Gündoğan doesn't want to renew his contract with BVB and his destination seems to be Manchester United. (Der Westen)

Good move by Man U if true[emoji122]

I hope we make either Reus or Isco our main targets this summer. We really need some quality up there to help out Hazard.

BLUES TARGET PEDRO

Chelsea are weighing up a summer swoop for Barcelona forward Pedro, who wants to quit the Nou Camp this summer writes Marca.

Arsenal, Liverpool and Inter Milan have all been strongly linked with the Spain international, but the trio could face competition from the Blues.

Marca says Chelsea are monitoring his situation, with Jose Mourinho keen to bolster his attacking options.

The report adds Mourinho values Pedro’s attitude on the pitch and his ability to press the opposition, while he is a valuable and reliable source of goals.

Now that would be a great signing, I've always thought he was hugely underrated.

Rumours going around that Schwienstiger is leaving Bayern in the summer...already a Chelsea legend, could be our Ballack 2.0...

Yeah I'd love Pedro tbh

I think he's a great player but he's another who can't seem to stay fit these days.

One of Reus or Bale will be at Real, one won't be.

 

We need to be the team that picks up the one that won't be, doesn't matter which one.

Thank god Fernando Torres pretty much discredited the idea of Chelsea signing fading stars...

I read that, very daft.

He did however predict a 0-0 for the game today and as right.
