I have to admit that I fully agree with Garry Neville.

It's a bit hard to see it happening but if we could get Bale move Willian to the number 10 role we could have a crazy first 11 that could square up to Barca, Bayern and Madrid. It might mean Ramires and Oscar could leave but no denying we would have Hazard and Bale two top players in our team, we would be great but obviously hard seeing it happen.

Yes bale hazard and Costa would be up there with the barca front three.

I believe that we will manage to sign Koke. Real Madrid has set the price for Bale and it's 100m€ which is around 71-72m£.After winning PL we have earned extra 24m£ and before that our possible transfer kitty was roughly 73-76m£.So now we have 100m£ to spend without selling anyone. If we are aware that Mikel will be sold plus one of our goalkeepers, plus we can cash in on Salah,Marin,MVG and some other players. Even without selling Oscar, Willian (or hopefully Cuadrado) and Ramires (hopefully we will not sell him) we can count on at least 160m£ transfer kitty.
So we can afford Bale and Koke.

Bale would be a tremendous acquisition, no doubt about it! But I can't see the club splashing that much money on 1 player, I just can't see it happening. That's not the way the club have gone about their business since the Torres transfer.
If we want a left footed player for the right wing then the club shouldn't look any further than Traore. He's played a lot as a striker for Vitesse this season, and that proves that he's got an eye for goal. I still think his best position is the right wing, where he can take players on because he's got sublime technique and a good burst of speed. I truly believe Traore could already play in the first team, he's that good and his game is really mature IMO. I'd love to see it happen and I hope Mourinho wasn't kidding when he said Traore would've stayed with the first team if he got a work permit sorted.
I don't think attacking midfielders/wingers should be a priority this summer. A centre back, central midfielder and a back up striker if Remy leaves are top of my list.

Hello everybody,
I don't want to make to discuss a little about what we need and the current situation of Chelsea squad. Its all my own opinion - I think there will be mistakes ( alot) Hope u guys could discuss with me and share your view - opinion or fix my wrong thinking too. My appreciation.
1. A LB or RB (depend on the situation of Ivanonic/Luis) - not urgent now.
2. A CB - to replace Terry if necessary ( and maybe Zouma still your - haven't gain enough credit from Mourinho - for Cahill sometimes when he becomes shaky too)
3. A LW - we are too dependent on Hazard now. Mostly Right side attacking - by using Hazard's dribbling and accelerating. And the other teams know him more well next season - in the last 2 match he also struggling with their special attention. ( I think its quite urgent demand)
4. A CM someone to share the midfield with Matic, making a steel wall before our CBs - cause F4 is not so suitable for this kind of position - he is way better in making assits but he usually creating spaces and Matic couldn't cover all ( example is Tottenham match)
5. A Striker - Costa is good - Remy is good, however, they are both injury prone. I felt so frustrated about it. Remember how Costa had to struggle with his knee in the second half of the season - it really weighted us down and made us play defensively - when we need Remy the most - he get injured. He usually got in surprising and ridiculous injury (remember after an amazing strike in Champions League - then he got the hips injury). Then at the end of season, when he is the hope of all our fans to replace Costa - he got injured again - kind of secretly and then we had to used old Drogba.
6. A Goal keeper. Cech will go.
In my option. We really need to solve 3,4,5. A CM - A Striker - A LW for diversity in attacking - our defend line is still good and we can use our youth to back up the goalie position.

There is realistic possibility that we might lose Luis and get Koke. 4 solved. 3 is something we have to solve is it going to be Bale,DiMaria ( MUFC might sell him), Griezman, Traore or whoever. 5 we defiantly need a buck up striker maybe Austin is the best and cheapest option very efficient player considering where he played this season. 6 if MUFC manage to keep DeGea with new very lucrative deal 200k p.w.Real Madrid could turn to Courtois. 1 we will have to sign RB or LB. 2 isn't necessary since Ivanovic can CD especially if we sign RB or LB.
Cheers

I think a ton will depend on the outgoing players. I'd imagine we will need a striker, backup keeper, and a left back to replace luis (as I'm sure he wants to leave in order to get game time which is perfectly understandable). Beyond that I don't see the need to buy another winger unless we sell either willian or cuadrado (extremely unlikely with both) but I would like to see Traore given a chance. If we can get a premier player such as Varane or Pogba then the club should go for it.

If watched tonight's game you would understand why Real Madrid are favorite's to land Pogba.They need him much more than we do. Also, they are financially stronger than Chelsea.
