For a newbie to this site who do we look like getting in the transfer period?

Haha well I guess there are 75 pages there for you to figure that out!

I thought as much but was hoping someone could give me a quick summary.

There's too many rumours to follow at any one time, Gary Cahill seems to be the surest bet. Heard mention of Milos Krasic and Jack Rodwell whom seem to be a little more discussed about (which does not really mean a whole lot)

Thanks mate that's what I needed, I did go back and read to last ten pages which probably confused me more .

Nps, I am really not the best or most educated here, I am sure someone else can fill in a lot more names yet.

Hmmm... I heard i bit of news last week from a friend of mine who is very reliable that we had agreed a fee with Lille to sign Hazard in January but we would loan him straight back to him until the summer. Apparantly this is correct. I'm delighted if this is the case, 20 years old, full of talent and will already have Kompany and boyata make him feel at home.

We have also just agreed a deal for 15 year old Real Madrid under 18's captain and striking sensation Jose Angel Pozo... we already have the most exciting young Spanish midfield prospect of his generation in Denis Suarez, this could be mouthwatering in years to come

How does that work?

Anyway, if its true then I'd certainly put in a bid to bring Adam Johnson to Stamford Bridge if I were AVB.

Heard that on talksport too, one of the french correspondents

i was annoyed when Adam johnson went to City in the first place.. So if this hazard rumour is true. Would love to see Johnson in the Chelsea blue.

No rhyme intended.

Johnson has a cannon of a left foot, but I couldn't see him leaving City for here. He'd have no more guarantee of playing and he'd probably receive a wage cut. He's been involved in most of their matches, is liked by Mancini and they seem to rotate more than we do here.

I'm not buying Hazard to City either. Despite MrSkyBlue's 'sauce'.

Seen a few kaka rumours appearing in the paper recently and one today saying heres ours for 22m with the possible Madrid being Madrid type sales anyone want him here?

Personally feel that he would get in the way of mata as he would want to play amc where mata is best and drifts in to or it could work a charm but haven't seen much Spanish football this last two seasons?

I know it's the Sun but do you think the 150mill transfer budget for Jan is legit? Would be a nice Xmas present for the club....I think it's great when one billionaire outdoes another...just like kids with toys...glad we have a billionaire as an owner rather than a chicken factory!

No and I think the only legit targets from that are Cahill obviously and krasic until we can do major changes in summer besides hamsik and cavani will be cup tied

Hahaha yeah, The red tops will have him 100% heading to Liverpool next week

I've heard that already haha

I seriously doubt it. I reckon it's just a combination of slow news days and the fact that the transfer window is opening soon. Sure we're getting rid of some first team players and the team is finding it hard to win consecutive matches, but I doubt we'll be splashing that kind of money on players right now. Maybe in the summer, but not now. The kind of players we need probably won't be available, even for silly money, and most of them are probably cup tied anyway.

I could see us spending about £30m on two players: roughly £5-7m on Cahill and spunk the rest on somebody else (a right back, midfielder, forward?).

Please stay away from Kaka Chelsea, we've had too many of these big name/money signings that just don't work out for us.

Can't speak Spanish but this is got to be a joke. Torres for Cuenca, Montoya & Sergi Roberto. Personally I would be happy with that. Cuenca is going to be special, and we bring our wage bill down massively.

Spanish April Fools today if you missed the news. Though that'd be a transfer masterstroke.

Sky Sports linking us to Cavani and Hulk again:

We're also linked with Hazard by his agent along with all the other financial heavyweights so nothing new:

Manchester City ready to offer £25m for Lille's Eden Hazard, claims agent

The representative of the Belgian prodigy feels the cash-rich English club could be set to make their intentions known by making a big-money bid for his client in the near future

The agent of Lille attacker Eden Hazard has revealed that he is expecting a €30 million (£25m) bid from Manchester City for his client in January.

Marc Fourmeux, who represents the Belgium international, says he expects Roberto Mancini's men to make the first move ahead of the likes of Real Madrid and Inter with an offer that would also see the attacker stay in France until the end of the season on loan.

"There is much talk of an offer of €30m (£25m) from Manchester City, which will see him remain at Lille for the next six months," the agent told AS.

"His future is in any case destined for a big European club like Real Madrid, Barcelona, ​​Chelsea, Manchester City, AC Milan, Inter or Juventus."

However, Fourmeux also intimated that City may need to revise their offer as Lille president Michel Seydoux "is seeking €40m [£33m]", and also gave an update on the situation involving in-demand Rennes and France international midfielder Yann M'Vila.

"In Italy, Inter and AC Milan want him, but it remains to be seen who will pay for him and who can convince him," he revealed.

"Wanted parties must put their hands in pockets. M'Vila is estimated at €20m [£16.7m] but it is unclear where he would go."

What makes you think Cuenca is going to be massive? One position Barcelona dont seem to develop is striker. Before people say Messi hes not a target man hes a winger. Barca have had Zlatan, Eto'o, Kluivert, Rivaldo and without Googling cant think of any others in recent history. The player who was going to be special was a fella called Bojan Krkic an hes benchwarming AS Romas bench if am not mistaken

Cuenca was more of a winger I thought.

Anyway it is an April Fool so let's move on.

Hulk, Higuain and Perreira, now those are the players Chelsea should be targeting. Not Kaka and Pato. Hulk alone would do some serious damage in the EPL. Perfectly suited to the English game.

I think Chelsea have established to everyone's satisfaction that they have the right to refuse any transfer back to Barca.
