Juandering who we are going to sell next, or does it Mata? - The Chelsea Transfer Thread

Lol nice thread title!

 

Need Suarez

 

Told ya we needed Suarez

 

This thread title.

 

she's gone. It's over. Let it go. She wasn't good enough for you anyways. . .

 

We need a striker. Or two. Eto’o is going to leave at the end of the season – so we need a bloke to replace him or we bring back Lukaku from loan?

Then we need to think about Torres. We cannot wait any longer for a 50 million quid investment to work out. It is not going to work out. We sell him and we buy another striker. But who?

There are the big names:

Messi – unavailable
Ronaldo – unavailable
Zlatan – too old
Neymar – unavailable
Bale – unavailable
Falcao? Maybe available?
Suarez – rather not
Cavani? Maybe available?

So who are the not-so-big names and the somewhat obscure names?
I mean spending large amounts on a striker hasn’t always gone well for us. Sheva? Torres? Who is out there under the radar a little? Should we wait and see what the world cup brings?

 

How did Lewandowski make it into your post?

 

ooops.

 

Lmao...

 

I think the most obvious target would be Costa. Rumored 32m buy out clause, good age and has been scoring goals.
I'm not sure if I would be sold on him but considering the available options he seems like the best option.

Cavani / Falcao would be the outsiders, both do not seem to be happy in France but either would cost 55-60m and big big wages.

Mourinho has made it very clear we will be getting a top top striker, so clear that maybe he has something almost wrapped up . Last summer was the best time to buy a striker with Cavani/Falcao on the market but so far the club has been fantastic regarding transfers. The recent performance have even made me not be as upset regarding the Mata sale.

Matic+ Zouma + Salah for Mata + KDB and some spare $$ for the club seems like it will turn out to be an excellent bit of business. Matic looks like he can be a beast for us and a hybrid of Toure/Veira.

 

Assuming we're definitely stuck with Torres, and BA+Eto'o moving on leaves one signing short which Jose was talking about. Hopefully it's Rooney fingers crossed?

 

Jose pretty much confirmed the fees of transfers

Wonder why he did not mention about Zouma? Or do club have got a separate budget section on future investments?

 

I'm thinking that the third unknown one will be the first choice, & club probably have got something already sewn up. Now the question of a choice, about how much they're gonna spend. With Essien gone, & maybe Ba+Eto'o there will be a 10mn+ salary free gap easily able to afford a 50mn package over 5 years.

 

Likely so, only counting the immediate first team players.

 

Rooney may not be the answer for a longer term but he's a nice transition capture imo & will be good in this system. Besides, Terry Lampard Cole are unsure for next season so far(I guess 2 of them will be kept & announcement will come within April) so Roo will be a good bet from HG status too. There is a provision for him & club might surprise us again.

Shaw will come within 20mn imo, as top fullback prices are & Soton are already in backfoot somewhat.

Squad player is a tricky one, already have Kalas/Ake/Salah/Van Ginkel in that role, with Jose mentioning one loanee may return to compensate a squad role. I think club will adopt this strategy, one loanee returning means saving millions on a squad player front. Theoretically it's perfect planning.
