CHELSEA!!!! Sarri

[elephants]

Newcastle wouldn't sell Ba for under 10 mil

That's what I thought but 7 mill according to the mirror...

[My Chumps]

I think he has a 10 mill buyout clause?

[elephants]

Meh I dunno. Now we looking like getting Hulk and we have Sturridge and Lukaku waiting in the wings we don't really need a second striker.

[My Chumps]

What if Torres leaves?

I personally hope that Hulk comes to the EPL... But not to Chelsea :P   (no offence intended LE, Tbags etc)

[Jukes]

Stop being selfish chelsea. you do not need two 30mil plus signings in one summer. Hazard and a couple of 15millers is ok but not two superstar signings.

Ba would be a great signing for anybody; I'd like him to stay at Newcastle tho. Him and Cisse on form at the same time is the best strikeforce in the league.

And Liverpool officially got Rogers I believe.

The Bundesliga remained Europe’s most profitable league with operating profits of £154 million, a 24% increase on the previous year that widened the gap to the Premier League, where operating profits decreased by £16 million to £68 million.

Why is Chelsea selfish? If it means we win more games?

+1, whaaaaa?

[tbagrocks]

so whats the go with Sterridge?? will he even be in the plans?

[CrowsFan]

Who is Sterridge?

[Cicjose]

its sturridge and he will get a loan probably

[CrowsFan]

Haha yes I know, I was just stirring ;)

[elephants]

I'd like to see this happen...

                  Cech

Ivanovic -- JT -- Luiz -- Cole

        Ramires* -- Mikel**

     Hazard -- Mata -- Hulk

                  Torres

* Box to Box player
** Sitting Deeper

Bench
Turnbull (Courtois to go on loan to prem league club)
Bertrand (Cashley understudy)
Cahill (Would rotate with JT and Luiz for centre-half pairing)
Malouda (Provide relief for a tiring/failing Hazard or Hulk)
Lampard (An alternative to Ramires as a box to box midfielder in the double pivot)
Essien (I love this dude - Another alsternative in the pivot)
Sturridge (Despite hating it will be cover for Hulk/Hazard similar to Malouda and on the odd occasion CF for Torres)
Lukaku (Play against the smaller clubs when Torres needs a rest)

Pretty much if Sturridge isn't happy with this he needs to improve dramatically and become less selfish or move elsewhere to a smaller club where he can be the focal point.

If RDM strolls out with this side first game next season I will be stoked!

[CrowsFan]

Front 4 I would prefer more like this LE

Hulk - Hazard - Mata
          Torres

And if Torres continues to fail with that service then drop him, move Hulk to CF and bring on Marin to RW, with Sturridge playing from the bench. Can't believe you don't even have Marin on your bench LE! :o

[elephants]

Either way I think it'll be formidable. For me, I'd like to know where Mata prefers to play. If it's centrally let him.

Torres can not fail with 100 million pounds worth of creative talent behind him. Christ I could score 20 goals a season with this potential supply!

Marin/Malouda. I personally am not a fan of Malouda but his goal last night and the fact that reading numerous German reports on marin claiming he has a lot to learn still as he is pretty 'goal hungry' have changed my mind. Either way a good player is being left out of the side.

Anyone see Torres' goal against South Korea? Twas nice.
