Big win Today, grinding out results while not at your best wins titles. Great to see Fabregas score as well. Add Varanne, Koke, Costa and Icardi ( all chelsea targets and not fantasy stuff ), plus a back up keeper together with RLC and hopefully, Bertrand Traore and we move alongside Bayern, Real and Barca in my opinion.

Don't want Douglas costa he's not a game changer. The only way we'll get alongside them is if we can get a midfielder who can shoot from outside the box (Andre Gomes, Loftus-Cheek) and a world class RW like Bale. Although I still think Cuadrado's our man. Fellaini and Mata are prime examples of if you don't play then when you do get a chance you don't play as well.

Agree with you Ed018, supercesc yes we do need Koke or Gomes one of them two would be great. Schneiderlin is really good but we aren't interested, a shame but it's as simple as that plus Koke offers more and would really compliment Matic and Fabregas. I do however think we should look at home grown players for our back up striker if Remy were to leave. Charlie Austin would be great.

Agree with some points there ELI. I don't want a koke or Pogba someone who would stop RLC progressing because as other may not I think he is good enough to play next season in a midfield three with Matic and Fabregas. I agree about homegrown players that's why RLC should play. Austin or Ings for me if Remy leaves.
{Ed018's Note - what has RLC done that makes you think he is good enough to be a regular starter next season?}

I'd take the risk especially on a powerful and technically gifted player. He's the missing link for us just needs faith and experience.
What has Ramires and Mikel done over the past two years to make them starters before Matic and Fabregas joined the club?

WelshChels you seem VERY pro Loftus cheek
He's a youngster, let's give him time :)
13 Apr 2015 02:12:10
I understand what you mean aron. But I've watched Loftus-Cheek a lot on Chelsea TV and he is a fantastic talent. His u19's game for England was his best game I've seen him play against Italy watch it on YouTube. he's got it now I think to start playing. I don't want to see us make the same mistake United did with Pogba and I know it's a big statement but I just hope we win the league soon. I'm not one of them who wants to see us spend 50+ million on Pogba.

Fair points welsh!
13 Apr 2015 09:13:23
Will watch the game
13 Apr 2015 12:16:32
I think he's capable of coming into the team and having the same impact as Jordan Ibe but in midfield.
13 Apr 2015 13:48:01
I do agree with you no would bring in a quality mid to replace Mikel and Ramires and have Ake and RLC there if it was me.
5 players for 2 positions
13 Apr 2015 14:33:12
Would much more prefer if either ake or RLC get a good loan tonpkay whole seasin for some team and get a game time.
13 Apr 2015 15:16:21
Lrdit, that's the exact reason they won't make it with your negativity and people wanting them to go out on loan. Players like Colkett and Christensen would benefit from a loan whereas I think RLC and Izzy Brown wouldn't.
13 Apr 2015 16:08:32
I agree with LRDIT, you can't expect Rlc to come in & have the quality required to be a regular starter or regular sub without any experience at the top level! We would all like to see him get into the first team but other players come before him I'm afraid. He needs a loan with a premier league team for development & experience in big games
14 Apr 2015 09:36:04
Welsh why you think I am negative? So do prefer the lad to sit on the bench and scrap few minutes from time to time like mikel does? Or do you prefer hom playing regularly for someone like Leicester or any other smaller team in PL?
14 Apr 2015 09:38:21
Also to add to my point, I said that I don't mind one of Ake or RLC staying but I believe that if both would stay they would be just wasted
