Even if we did sign another midfielder the form of lamps, essien and mikel has been poor so I would fancy josh getting a few games tbh.

The thing about modric is that man utd are also chasing him and they may swap berbatov to get him which gives them an advantage maybe.

Can't see Spurs wanting Berbs, he's not what they need. They need a Drogba more than a Berbatov, someone who can play on there own up front comfortably.

A lot of talk about modric, apparently he wants to stay in london, I think he is exactly what we need. Not as good as sneijder imo but the fact he is proven quality in the premier league, cheaper and younger makes him preferable imo.

How much money do you think Levy will ask Chelsea for Modric? Cheaper?? I don't think you know Spurs too well

I have no idea, some people on other sites are talking about 30mill, I have no idea but sneijder would cost at least 35 mill imo and inter would not sell cheap either so yeah modric would still probably be cheaper.

I am only speculating, chelsea don't even have a manager so whos knows

He is the main man at Spurs, contracted until 2016 aged 25. Spurs got £30 million for a 28 year old. I cannot see Spurs selling, why would they. They are not skint

Yes but we all see what power the players have now.

Torres forced through his transfer to Chelsea and the new Liverpool owners didn't need the money.

I don't think Modric will be at Spurs in September

Didn't Liverpool say Torres was not for sale for a few days before he left?

If Modric wants to go to United or Chelsea he'll probably get his way imo

Lol-would be good if he scores a hat-trick against Turkey and this heralds the end of Guus. Transfer confirmed on Monday and then Guus announced on Tuesday.

In other (confirmed) news, Mancienne is off to Hamburg permanently.

No harm I guess, he wasn't even making the team at Wolves, but I would like to see some of our younger players getting a game next season, not least Conor Clifford (a long shot I know).

If we play Lukaku, surely we have to play Josh as they are the same age?
I dont think Lukaku will walk into the team, he will be held back

Drogba you must come to Galatasaray Istanbul , you earn more money than chelsea!

I will only consider the Chelsea job if I can re-hire Ray Wilkins and get £3 Million a year, £6 Million is just too much a year and I dont want to be greedy. :pac:

On Danny and Josh, they will be my first choice go to guys, I also propose to ship out Kalou to Sybria.

The Drogba chat is funny to read.

Anyone else think we should dump Torres this summer ?

You seriously think he is going to start scoring next season ?

in April ....

Brendan Rodgers revealed today that Fabio Borini signed a pre-contract agreement with Parma before joining Swansea on loan. Five year deal. #chelseayouth

In the handful of games I seen Borini play for Swansea he really gave his all in played like it meant something and he left it all out there when he got his chance.

I wish him well, I would have loved to see him get his chance but it wasnt to be. I think he'll be a good Serie A player and ina few years end up at one of the giants in Italy or maybe abroad.

thats a shame, would have liked to see Rodgers bringing another of the chelsea youth to the premier league, wish the kid all the best tho. Wonder who we will loan out to Swansea next season, would it be a good destination for Josh maybe? a manager that knows him?

50 mill or not, Roman has proved he is not sentimental, and he will be shipped out if he doesnt at least reach double figures next season!

He will easily reach double figures next season

Looks like Jack Cork is going to move on as well

http://www.lancashiretelegraph.co.uk/sport/9058886.Chelsea_accept_bids_for_Burnley_target_Cork/?ref=rss

I've also read that Michael Woods and a few others will also be moved on

I wonder who's making these decisions, seeing as we don't have a manager?

I've EVEN seen Josh linked with Man U and Arsenal! :eek:

Johner

Woods is going it was announced after the reserves won the league, injuries ruined any chance he had of making a good go at it at the top.

smuckers

Goal.com are reporting The Lukaku deal won't be finalised until we have a new manager appointed, but we were going after Lukaku when Carlo was here, like the manager is going to say no to this?

Torres, if he stays injury free (easier said then done ) will come close too or smash 20 goals, feel free anyone to qoute me on this.

Just because Carlo is gone doesnt mean we have shipped out the youth coaches and reserve team coaches. hey would have a big say overal as they deal with these players and I'd imagine any deal was consultated with them.

Josh wont leave, maybe on loan, but thats it.

jcf

I hope he does, I really do - but as mentioned before, he doesn't suit being played on the wings, he needs to be a central striker - like Drogba - and as they are keeping Drogba, then someone is gonna be dropped - I guess Drogs will be on the bench a lot next season - or Torres !

Strong rumours around Portugal that Villa Boas will be appointed in next 48 hrs.:)

Well when we played both upfront neitehr looked like they wanted to play the ball to each other, they both picked up good positions, onthe shoulder of the defenders or dropping deep but they are not a Xavi or Iniesta that can find that killer ball, thats why we need a playmaker and to drop one of them.

I can imagine it will be drogba, Drogab has more impact from the bench. I wouldnt rule out playing both, if we do Drogab will drop deeper and will ahve to feed Torres early, and that goes for all the midfield.

Also, in Drogabs first full eason he didnt set the EPL a light, give Torres time, he is the future.

On transfers - IMO
Who ever we get will be an asset, and I hope just a 10th of these transfer rumours comes true.
Pretty confident we will come back stronger, better and younger next season!

(Please Roman, let them have a season to "bed in")

Very Exciting times for chelsea fans...between getting a new manager & new signings.

Neymar Plays his semi final tonight & if they get eliminated I expect there to be some movement on his transfer whether its good or bad.

Also there are rumors on Twitter that Chelsea have agreed to a deal with the 3rd party people that own a certain percentage of Neymar.

Our Preseason is going to be showed live on Sky Sports...Hopefully we can get a look at our new signings Neymar & Modric

Heres the full michael emenalo interview

some interesting bits!

http://www.goal.com/en-gb/news/2896/premier-league/2011/06/01/2512933/chelsea-assistant-michael-emenalo-fernando-torres-missing

GavRedKing

The thing with Michael Emenalo, when a new man comes in, I'd expect him to want to bring in his own men to help him and that would mean eithera lesser role for Emenalo or for him to be given the boot. I can see Roman keeping him in the club and making him a 1st team coach as any new manager who doesnt bring his own coaching staff would be mad.

Gonzovision

Emenalo is a pawn, I think he should go back to coaching underage, terrible interview. Whoever comes in will either need to pick between PC or Emenalo or bring their own assistant. We have plenty of spaces to be filled.

For a club without a manager we are fairly active in the transfer market
