if Torres is still playing for us next season i will scream

Bertrand, Marin, Ba and Moses are all frankly as good as gone, and Mikel will probably leave too. can't see us pushing too hard to keep Ramires, especially if Madrid's interest is as genuine as rumours say. dunno about Lukaku, think we won;t send him on loan but equally we don;t want to send him to a club like Arsenil or the Spurs

can't see us keeping both Cech and Courtouis, big decison there. apparently Wet 5.pam want Cech would keep him out of the clutches of a more direct rival though

as for ins-well if rumours to be believed Costa will be joined by Filipe Luis and Tiago need another striker too though, i'd like Mandzukic

as for youngsters-like to see Bamford given a pre-season. Chalobah and McEachran will deffo be loaned out, possibly MvG too (more short term thoguh)

think we could do alot worse than promote van Aanholt to 2nd choice LB. i'd like to see Zouma given a chance rather than just farmed out on loan too

If I could decide a squad, it'd be something like

Courtois, Schwarzer, Blackman
Azpi, Ivan, Cahill, Terry, Omeruo, Luis, PVA
Matic, Fabregas, Ramires, Van Ginkel, Tiago/Chalobah
Schurrle, Hazard, Oscar, Willian, Salah, Atsu/Piazon
Costa, Lukaku, Torres (Because I doubt we will sell)

Don ,

your spot on about Atsu & Piazon being available and likely to get squad places.

Are we not overloaded with wingers already, surely Atsu would struggle to get a game, or is he better than Salah and Schurlle?

Great point biggish ,

What do you think we are going to do in defence ?

& upfront ? FWD, Lukaku & Torres ?

I am worried about Terry on teo counts.

1. I have seen it happen with many players in the last throws of their playing career that they dig out one last great season before falling of the cliff.

2. He was incredibky lucky with injuries last season, but at his age, I think it would be unusual for him to go injury free this season.

Up front...

I don't think Lukaku will stay, I think he will be sold.
Sadly it looks like Torres may stay
Costa in
ANother in
Ba out
Eto out

ERM ? i think he will get even slower, but he will need to adjust.

Weither his body will be able to handle it has valid concern.

So yes we do need to get his replacement up to speed.

OUT on LOAN most likely.

The left back position ?

Costa ? is it still happening ?

Torres, his contract has 24 months at a cost of almost 19m, so WE are Lumbered.

Lukaku ?

Id prefer we kept him, and gave the chance to develop.

I'd like it if Costa is given a loan to Everton to prove himself in the PL, Lukaku has certainly proven himself, therefore should be given first 11 spot in the team. Same with Curtois and Cech. Fabregas straight in the team in Oscars position or next to Matic.

Are you serious about Lukaku KDB?

Costa, Lukaku, Bamford. We will only play one up top anyway. Tell Torres he is 4th choice and unlikely to play unless we go in Europa again. Up to him if he wants to sit on the bench for 2 years or sling his hook. I think he'll opt for the former.

Ifarka....It does not seem that Lukaku accepts anything other than a guarranteed start............that is why I think he will leave

2 strikers 4 cups. We will probably play 50+ games. Isn't 20 odd starts enough for the egomaniac?

SWT, Lukaku,

i think that he preferred to go out on loan last season to get a better chance of 1st team football so that he would have a fighting chance to go to Brazil.

This season i think it will be different, he will fancy his chances to stake his place in the squad, he still needs to develop and with Jose he could flourish.

Bamford, will not get brought in yet, he will thrive with another quality loan season.

More than likely Zouma will do likewise in defence.

Lukaku

Guy is scared of failure at Chelsea, I think he will be out of the club by the end of August. Costa, Ba, Torres.

i hope not.

Costa gets injured and we are facked again. No way I'd have them 2 as our back ups.

Fabregas to act as a false no.9.

No

I seriously think we should get rid of Lukaku, get Costa in and go in with a £15-20mill bid for Benteke or Bony. Or if we are really serious, go in with a £28mill bid for Balotelli. Our striking situation will look a lot more health with any of those players bought in with Costa. I've seen enough of Lukaku, I really don't rate him anymore.

I'd rather 'Schrulle' as he's known playing that role but only if we have a massive injury crisis.

Wouldn't mind crazy Balo. The other 2 ain't Chelsea quality. Might as well keep Ba.

Is the Costa deal still on ?

Bony . we were tracking him for sometime whilst he was a Vitess player.

Balotelli, great talent, but will he chill ?

Jose has said of him " he is unmanageable ".

Lukaku, ? the world cup is not over , i think he would be a step from Ba.

Ifarka

I can't see Costa going anywhere else, he'll sign on July 1st.

Costa & Balotelli, one of them will be suspended so they'll both get games.

What's the relationship like between Jose and Balo?
