there will be a massive clearout at chelsea in next 6 months, starting from this january. judging from comments jose has made since his coming back, this is not a jose mouriniho type team.i think these gentlemen will be shown the door.

torres, ba, marin, ashley cole, lampard, hilario, schwazer, kakuta, davilla, mikel, de bruyne, bertrand, etoo, essien, lalkovic. maybe also moses.

chelsea will sign 1 main striker (higuan/cavani type), lukaku will be second striker and markovic third.

oriol romeu will be back and playing holding midfield with a new signing (fredy/matic/imbula)

chelsea will sign luke shaw and van anholt will be second choice left back.

chelsea will sign 2 new centerbacks (kurt zouma/ equalim/. ) omerou and ake be loaned.

lucas piazon doing well, so no need of draxler. and he may edge out moses.

courtois will return.

I think I speak for a lot of people when I ask if this is what you think will happen or is this what you have been told by people who may or may not be in the know?

Sound fairly sensible moves. Would like to see De Bruyne stay, although I think too much is being expected of him for the game time he gets. Maybe another loan spell will better his footballing maturity. Failing this I would like to see an attempt made to sign Draxler.
Otherwise the above deal in the next two windows would certainly better our squad.

I don't know why everyone is forgetting van ginkel for next season. why can't he partner up in midfield with romeu. he's such a great talent with a good future.

Why would we get rid of schwarzer? Unless he is planning on retiring or something (I wouldn't blame him!) he's a great second choice keeper!)

Apart from that, I doubt you're too far off over the next 18 months or so, but I doubt we'd offload that many in 6 months myself.

Schwarzer has a 1 year contract and plans to retire after the world cup

Oh, thought that was just from Australia.
That makes sense then.
