January transfer window

[George Hannah]

Not neccesarily in January, but we are a LB, CB and defensive/central midfielder away from having a pretty perfect squad imo

who should be in the frame Big O?

 

[remember arthur mann]

Another Fernandinho please!

I'd take Coentrao for LB and Matic or Matuidi could easily do that midfield job. Don't know about which truly world class CB is really available though

what about this Mangala boy who plays in Portugal?

He's physically ridiculous, but he still is a bit of a work in progress from the defensive side of things. He'd probably be a fantastic partner for Kompany in time, but he still has wrinkles that need ironing out regarding rashness or being a bit too keen to get the ball. He'd cost a fortune, but I can't think of too many better CB's who might be available, he really has all the potential to be one of the best centerbacks for the next decade.

If we had him, Kompany, Matic, Yaya and Fernandinho in the center of our team then we really would physically bully everyone though!

hope the speculation that he's stitched up for us is right then - thanks!

Think we're fine at left back tbh Kolarov has looked decent recently and Clichy is still a top player. Would also rather see Jason Denayer (reminds me of Kompany) get an opportunity at centre back rather than see the club spend yet more money on a replacement once Lescott leaves in the summer. Rekik will also come back next season from his loan. Would be good to see the club try and put some faith in youth, something Chelsea have failed to do.

Central midfield is the only position we don't have any quality depth imo, not seen much of Matic but he caught my eye in the Europa league final last year. Matuidi or Fernando would also be decent options. Would have loved us to break the bank for Gundogan in the summer but that looks unlikely at the moment.

Priority is a DM, then after that get a CB. As has been mentioned, Matic, Mauidi, Fernando are all good options, and it sounds like the club is targeting someone for this position so that is good. Not sure about center back, heard Mangala and Zouma as possibilties but don't know a whole ton about either. Hope the club makes two quality buys for these positions and we will be well placed to push on in the new year and continue this fantastic form.

I think the club will bring Rekik into our squad next season so I doubt we will buy a CH now. Demi will do for now.

Priority is another CM.

I can see more outgoings....Boyata and Garcia.

Ben davies or luke Shaw for me.
