Chelsea Rumours 17870

Just abit of a laugh now to keep this page filled unlike the city page lol. If you could have 3 new players in the squad without obviously messi and ronaldo where there is definately no chance of signing who would they be. 1 you have to pick as a replacement GK for petr Cech who I think will leave in the summer and not january. Here's my three and I couldn't decide on my 3rd so I've chose a returning loanee. You also need to have 3 outbound aswell to make way for the new signings. Also have a go too if you want ed?

Here's mine:

Butland for Cech
Pogba for Ramires
Returning loanee: Bertrand Traore for Oscar

KingEden

{Ed008's Note -

Butland to replace Cech
Pogba to replace Ramires
I can't decide between Varane for Cahill or Bale to replace Willian.

Butland for Cech (or even Darlow)
Pogba for Ramires
Rues (if he counts) for Schurrle, if not bale for Schurrle

Aron

Adrian to replace Cech
Bale or alexis Sanchez to play right wing for Ramires
Pogba

Aron I wouldn't expect darlow. He joined newcastle from forest in the summer but he's just staying there on loan.

KingEden

KingEden you'd sell Oscar ahead of Schurrle and Willian?

Yes. If it meant us getting Pogba. Oscar is quite over-rated IMO. Still a very good player though. But if we could sell him for something silly to PSG and use it for Pogba. Then move Cesc to no.10 or go to a 4-3-3. Imagine a midfield of Pogba-Matic-Fabregas? WOW. That would give us the power we had with Essien-Makelele-Lampard except we would have more creativity. I've got nothing against Oscar but I'm a fan of a really creative No.10. And with Pogba-Matic together that would also really help us defensively. Just my opinion.

KingEden

King Eden that's why it said 'transfers that would be impossible' ;) I know it wouldn't be likely

Aron

Phrased that wrong. I wouldn't sell Cahill, but I'd want Varane to come in and take his place (if he earns it).

Jackson

Ed008 spot on mate. Pogba for Ramires, Butland for Cech and Varane for Cahill.

Jackson

Pogba- Rami, Bale-Willian and Varane - Cahill.

That would only cost approximately 160mil.
Anyone's got Roman's digits. :)

ELI

ELI Ramires-Bale will never happen! Hazard-Bale is possible swap.Chelsea operates without RA help ATM.Varane can be bought Cahill should be kept.Pogba-Mikel yes but not as a swapp deal. All this is possible only next summer.

TBH all those imaginary transfers will never happen!!!

So you don't think Pogba could happen? I Do. Juventus could really do with selling one of either Pogba or Vidal, and if we give Ramires as part of the deal that could help push the deal through.

I remember when no one thought fabregas was possible in the summer or hazard after the champions league.

KingEden

Of course Pogba is not IMpossible, it's just that the chances of him joining are miniscule at best. I trust Ed fully and if he states that we shouldn't hold our breath then I'll be realistic and realize that he won't join us in all likelihood.

Jackson

KE both mentioned players are closer to MU.They need one of those players more than we do, plus MU has more money. They might even sign one of them in January, since Vidal has longstanding injury problem, MU will probably try to sign Pogba.

mn

Ed mentioned that Utd don't have an interest in Pogba. Think Strootman is their obvious midfield target if he can prove that he's fit. Apparently they're also still interested in William Carvalho.
I actually don't know who could be in for Pogba. It's hard to imagine him staying much longer at Juve. PSG and City with the FFP situation, I don't know if they'd be in for Pogba. Then you have Barca with their ban. Madrid perhaps? Or dare I say it, Bayern? :-P

I think vidals market has gone down vastly in the past year. The knee issue got rushed and he's yet to return to where he was capable of before the summer. I think ultimately pogba will push through a move. The market will be decided by how far along that is. I can't imagine he will stay after the euros but by then city and PSG will be out of the doghouse with fifa and a ton of other things can change.
