Posted September 2, 201410 yr I know I know, the window has just closed but with a net expenditure of only £100k we're well within our FFP rules. I'm guessing Cech may leave in January if he's not given enough playing time between now and December 31st, and Blackman has been loaned to Boro, we might need to bring in another keeper... I doubt Beeney will be brought up as 3rd choice. So, who do we want to sign (if anyone!) when the transfer window is open again?
September 2, 201410 yr Varne maybe if he's available or maybe Khedira if Mikel wants more game time. I don't think we will need to do very much at all and the above is just me being greedy.
September 2, 201410 yr At this point, nothing. I agree, i would like to see how things play out with the squad we have.
September 2, 201410 yr Unless there's a bad injury, a really bad patch od form or someone wants to leave no one.
September 2, 201410 yr I think we`re still a little light in center mid-field..as in presence...rather than numbers. someone like schweinsteiger would be ideal
September 2, 201410 yr I think we`re still a little light in center mid-field..as in presence...rather than numbers. someone like schweinsteiger would be ideal someone like schweinsteiger would be great but there is absolutely no point wasting brain power thinking about him joining chelsea. same goes for muller. saw him suggested a few times on these threads and it will just not happen.
September 2, 201410 yr varane pogba lock thread. This would be ideal. If I'm not mistaken, Pogba would count as home grown. He either is already, or he would be if signed in January. Absolute monster of a midfielder and only 21. Varane we've all seen in action, and Jose rates them both incredibly highly. Problem is Pogba would cost a fortune so I'm doubtful of it happening. We might end up with Khedira since he'll have six months left. Premature thread but we're all bored with no Chelsea for 2 weeks!
September 2, 201410 yr None, save the money until next summer for Pogba and Reus (only £25mil next summer because of a clause in his contract).

Don`t have to be him...but someone who strong and won`t be pushed of the ball like ramires
September 3, 201410 yr Can anybody confirm the fees we paid and received? I keep seeing that Remy was brought in for 10.5mln not 8.5. Luiz sold for 40 not 50. Im with the majority that the squad really look good. I wish everybody stays healthy and that we dont have to bring in anyone.

Im with the majority that the squad really look good. I wish everybody stays healthy and that we dont have to bring in anyone. Almost certain the Luiz fee is £40M, rising to £50M depending on how successful PSG are over the next few seasons. Don't know about Remy etc. As for January signings, far too early to say. We'll have a better idea of where we're short once we're at a dozen-or-so games and have played teams that can truly test us. Right now things look nice and balanced, and very, very promising.
September 3, 201410 yr For the first time in a looooong time I can't really see anything right this second that we need. Maybe start looking for Drogba's replacement for striking slot if Bamford or no youth team look up to scratch. Confirm it in January for Summer arrival possibly? It's an awesome feeling to feel like we finally have a squad that is strong in every department.
September 3, 201410 yr Nothing unless we have some bad injury problems. edit: If Oscar doesn't kick on would anyone fancy a cheeky bid for Mata? If the signings of Falcao and Di Maria mean he's forced out onto the bench, as I think it will, perhaps we could get him back on the cheap, something closer to the 20m mark rather than the 40m Utd paid us.

September 3, 201410 yr NO! We just got through one silly season! I don't want to think about another! Let's not worry about it until January, all right?

Mata's gone and not coming back. He isn't a Jose type player, move on.

In the unlikely event that United do accept such a bid, he'd just end up on the bench here again, so why would he want to come back?
September 3, 201410 yr WHy would we bring Mata back? lol Jose doesn't like him as a footballer and that aint changing, he wouldn't fit into our side end of.
September 3, 201410 yr A lot of you may not like this, but for next summer, I would say that Oscar and Hazard are up for sale so long as our valuations of them are met. The money that could bring in could land us Varane, Reus and Pogba which would make us a much stronger side in my opinion.
