Torres could go to Atleti or Inter (hopefully).

Stop hurting yourself. At GBP 175K/W, your only option is to offer him as package with Hazard to PSG.

I meant if you were to sign 3 new Cf's.

Those 2 plus Charlie Austin :coffee:

No, but in all seriousness, one of Costa/Falcao/Cavani, someone a rung down from them like Mandzukic, then a younger, up-and-coming 'gem' type find - Lukaku would be perfect obviously, but I do think he'll be sold unfortunately so perhaps someone else.

by Kick Thu 24 Apr 2014 - 5:51

Josip Drmić? Been solid for Nurnberg this season, only 21 too. Could be very cheap also.

I won't mind Bony as a back up, either.

by Shed Thu 24 Apr 2014 - 5:54

Doumbia another option for the 'second rung' category. Yilmaz as well (though it's a meh from me on that one...)

by Kick Thu 24 Apr 2014 - 6:19

Certainly.

Roman wants Cavani! Chelsea interest in Diego Costa set to be halted by Russian owner, who prefers the Uruguayan:
Reports suggest Blues owner Roman Abramovich prefers Edinson Cavani over heavily-linked Diego Costa this summer

by Kick Fri 25 Apr 2014 - 6:15

So Roman didn't want to spend the money last year on Cavani, yet this season he has decided he wants to?

I call BS, tbh.

by Shed Fri 25 Apr 2014 - 6:20

Costa likely wouldn't cost that much less than Cavani would anyway. But I doubt the story overall, yea.

by Kick Fri 25 Apr 2014 - 6:24

No but he will cost less. Maybe not much less, 10m or so.

by Art Morte Fri 25 Apr 2014 - 9:40

Lukaku, Remy and Costa would be pretty great. Although that's probably a bit too much if only one of them is going to start at a time. But you could do worse than buy Remy, I think he would click pretty well with your AMs.

Torres off to Atletico in the Costa deal, Eto'o released and Ba sold somewhere. Or alternatively keep Ba as 3rd choice (he's familiar with the role anyway) and loan or sell Lukaku.

by Kick Fri 25 Apr 2014 - 9:54

Ba won't be kept, mate. He wants out.

Remy would be decent, If not, Bony or Doumbia.

We'll see how badly he wants out when leaving would mean a wage cut.

Speaking from a neutral point of view, Remy would be a nicely exciting signing for Chelsea and one that would surely push for playing time, but for the love of Jack Black, don't buy Bony. The guy has slowly but surely started to fire it up in the Prem, would be a dam shame if he moved to Chelsea's bench to take Ba's role after just one season.

by Kick Fri 25 Apr 2014 - 12:49

Hence why I want Bony Wink

by Abramovich Fri 25 Apr 2014 - 14:33

Don't be greedy now, Bony deserves first team football imo.

by RedOranje Fri 25 Apr 2014 - 21:09

I don't see what Bony offers that Lukaku doesn't, to be honest.

by Shed Fri 25 Apr 2014 - 21:16

I think we'd all prefer Lukaku (as back-up) to bringing someone in, we're just operating, and speculating, under the premise that he and Mourinho have fallen out and that his departure is inevitable.

by Shed Fri 2 May 2014 - 4:05

Chelsea plot massive summer shake-up:
• Mourinho expects to get around £30m for Barca and Bayern target Luiz to help fund transfers
• He will demand that on-loan keeper Thibaut Courtois return after three years at Atletico
• Atlético Madrid hitman Diego Costa tops the Blues wishlist
• Young Everton centre-half John Stones is also a target...
• ... while teammate Ross Barkley is of interest to Mourinho as well
• John Obi Mikel will be offloaded to Galatasary
• The club have offered veteran trio Terry, Lampard and Cole all 1-year deals on lower wages
• Didier Drogba could even make an emotional comeback as a free agent

Half of that is bang obvious and the other half is complete bollox Laughing

by Abramovich Fri 2 May 2014 - 9:29

Apart from the top one in the list, rest sounds good to me.

Although we will be missing 1 more CM.

by Kick Fri 2 May 2014 - 9:54

Honestly,

Luis, Costa and a CM would be a perfect summer.

by Abramovich Fri 2 May 2014 - 11:48

Rather have Shaw personally, I want us to have more English home grown players.

Especially boy hood fans, please come Luke.

Ideally if we sign Luke and loan him back to Saints for another season or so would be excellent.

by Nedved Fri 2 May 2014 - 19:07

Chelsea will sign Luke Shaw. They are quite to avoid bidding war.

I think we need to sign Barkley & Striker - I prefer Cavani. Costa is fine but I don't like him much for some reason.

by Shed Fri 2 May 2014 - 20:20

Chelsea ponder summer swoop for Mario Götze as player admits he's ‘not happy’ at Bayern:

But will Götze sacrifice himself for the team and trust his life to his left-back? hmm
