I agree sgt, Kane is far from been part of our First team IMO.
We need a Right Back and a right forward before we even move any more players out. Will be good to see a few young players play this season and i thinkk McEachran and Bertrand will have a decent role this season.
When you look at the new generation of players in the squad we look really strong for years to come but when we add the players we will sign this window we will surely have on of the best squads in the world.
Mata
Ramires
Hazard
Sturridge
Mikel
Marin
Luiz
Cahill
Bertrand
Torres
McEachran
Ivanovic
Oriel
Courtois
We already have a really strong back bone for our future with even more youth coming through the ranks like PVA Chaolobah Bamford Feruz Piazon Swift etc.

Lads its a bit boring in here in work so i done some doddling on the note book and played a bit of fantasy football to myself. I could be totally wrong and i know it may be next to impossible to do but this is what i came up with.
We have a lot of dead weight and high earners at the club (including the players we just let go).
These players are :
Kalou 50k P/w
Bosingwa 60K P/w
Drogba 110K P/w
Malouda 70K P/w
Ferraira 50K P/w
Essien 80K P/w
Meireles 60K P/w
Turnbull 15K P/w
TOTAL 495K P/w :eek:
So thats a saving of say 500K P/w avg. And now add to that some players that could be sold on for cash also. Im going to guess a rough figure on what each player is worth if we were to sell them.
Meireles i know he has a few fans here but i honestly think we can get a better player in and use his wages and 10m sell on fee to good use against some incoming players.
Turnbull im going to be greedy and say we would get 3m for him and draft Blackman in as back up to Turnbull untill Courtious is back after next season.
Lampard is supposed to be been chased by L.A galaxy and we could be better off letting the legend move on. He has offered us his best years and he is currently best suited as a deep lying playmaker which we have McEachran ready to slot into that role now. If we let Lampard leave thats another saving of at least 110k P/w
Terry another legend that has more disadvantages then advatages. His wages are weighing him down aswell as his pace. His personal life and also this racist row is throwing another nasty spotlight over our club and we could be best parting ways. With PSG offering 8m for the 110k P/w defender i say do a deal and move him on.
So thats 500k P/w wages gone off the bill now when we add Lampard and Terry to this, thats about 715K P/w :eek: :eek:
Kalou 50k P/w
Bosingwa 60K P/w
Drogba 110K P/w
Malouda 70K P/w
Ferreira 50K P/w
Essien 80K P/w
Meireles 60K P/w
Turnbull 15K P/w
Terry 110K P/w
Lampard 110K P/w
TOTAL 715 K P/w
Now add the fee for Meireles Terry and Turnbull into the mix thats a return of around 20m. This will contribute hugely to our transfere kitty while also reducing our outlay to adhere to FFP. (A saving of over 37m a year!!)
Taking all these players out of our squad is a massive change i do agree, but look at how many of them are first team regulars. Drogba Lampard Terry and Meireles of late. Malouda is pants, Drogba is already gone and replaced with Torres. This leaves Terry and Lamps.
Now look at our squad with these listed players missing.
Hazard..........Torres.........??????
Marin...........Sturridge.......??????
.............................................
............................Mata...........
...........??????.......Ramires.........
........McEachran.......................
.............................................
....................Mikel...................
....................Oriel...................
.............................................
Cole......Cahill........Luiz.....??????
Ryan.B...Chalobha...Ivan....Hutch
.............................................
...................Cech...................
..................Turnbull................
That leaves four players short of having a top squad. But this also leave more room for youth players to get a chance to shine with our squad. The likes of Piazon, Lukaku, DeBruyne, Chalobha are not long from being able to challenge for a spot in our first team.
Now with our Champions league winnings and our massive savings of moving on some players who would you like us to buy?
I have also taken out our outlay for Hazard and Marin thats 40m and 200k P/w wages.
Dont forget we have 100m Champions league revenue, 26m a year saved on wages and also add 20m from sales.
TOTAL 117m to splend and 26 million on wages
My Targets would be Hulk Modric and Debuchy
Modric 40m 90k P/w
Hulk 35m 100K P/w
Debuchy 15m 60K P/w
Id also try and sign Lucas for 30m 80K P/w
Thats a total of 120M 330k P/w
Thats a net spend of 3m and a savings in wages of 385K P/w
Hazard..........Torres............Hulk
Marin...........Sturridge.......??????
.............................................
............................Mata...........
...........Modric.......Ramires.........
........McEachran.......................
.............................................
....................Mikel...................
....................Oriel...................
.............................................
Cole......Cahill........Luiz....Debuchy
Ryan.B...Chalobha...Ivan....Hutch
.............................................
...................Cech...................
..................Turnbull................

Too poor imo, I'm all about the long shot!
I'd be quite sickened if Chelsea sign Hulk and Torres drops a couple of points if I lumped on it. Podolski is 20/1 and Giroud is 22/1. That's what I was expecting Torres to be on.
Anyway, I digress. It'll be nice to see Torres do well (excepting if it's gong to cost United the league

Form will never really effect the bookies though, they realise Torres will be at the very least starting striker for us next season which will always skew the odds lower.
If it was going on form he'd be down in the high teens, maybe 17/1 area and then it would be worth a few bob but there is little value at 9's unless your willing to put decent money on it, money I dont got. :pac:
Ah I'll swap ya Utd winning the league if my Torres €50 9/1 comes up, ye can keep the title then. :P0 -

I'd have my reservations, although like Gomez the lad can finish 9 out of 10 chances.
I suppose it all depends on how much and I think Klaas would expect to be 1st choice also if he moved here.
If I could cherry pick one it would be Falcao then Cavani.
How are Liverpool fixed for selling Suarez to play RW? :eek:

If Chelsea offered enough money I'm sure Liverpool would be open for business.
The wanting to be first choice bugs me. If a player thinks they are good enough to be first choice they should just go and prove it. I get what you are saying and that was aimed at players that think like that.

I think Suarez woud be wasted playing so wide anyway for what its worth.
Oh ya, I mean theres very few guarnteed starters in a team, if we signed another top class striker then Torres or himself would be fighting for the number 1 spot which would hopefully improve both players overall performances, thats what you'd hope for anyway, in reality you'd have one sulky git thinking he should play and another guy banging in goals knowning he will play. :pac:
Ah the day to day lives of managing huge ego's.0 -
