Mateo Kovacic

Yeah he’d be a good fit at Chelsea and play every week. That would be a good move for the player. He’s in this mess because he jumped to Madrid too soon with no opening for his position.

Chelsea need to be reworking that back line if they want to play a high line. We have seen how silly even good defenders can look when asked to defend so much space

Good for Chelsea. With his power and pace, he would have been a great fit for us. So it's bad news. Chelsea will get a great player. I don't get who else we would go for as a DM. Weigl would be mashed potatoes if he came up against Kovacic. He doesn't have the physical attributes.

Says that he will go to Chelsea WITHOUT an option to buy

Being used as a makeweight for Courtouis to go the other way, simple as that.

Looked like Chelsea were on course for a poor window but they have made good moves and kept Hazard. I don't think Curtois is that good.

Let’s have Chelsea have everything lined up and we steel it at the last minute!

Why, do you want the club to operate that way? I know I certainly dont

So this was who we were after reading between the lines of what Pep just said about us and then Chelsea.

Our Pizarro was a David, and was Chilean unlike the Peruvian Claudio. But carry on ...

Ah Yes... That's right :) My bad...

Is Eden Hazard going to stick around along with the numerous options they have in midfield already? It seems to me that Chelsea haven't got a real transfer strategy.
