Is a player id like to see at chelsea
I think we have all been their when we have been linked with players like Modric cavani falcao and more recently costa and hulk
But I genuinely think that these are more often than not pie in the sky
Diego Costa is the new one, papers seem to think we are in for him and have started negotiations but I just can't see it. If he does sign then great it would mean the sale of Torres and lukaku IMO because of the way we are operating in the transfer market.
Personally i think we should be looking at mandzukic
With lewandowski due to join bayern I think it's worth a punt. He would cost half the money of costa and is a proven goal scorer.
It would also allow us some extra funds to go towards other areas
Purely thinking of this with a financial point of view and I think Mandzukic could be a more viable option.
Thoughts ?
Mandzukic

A. Madrid don't want Torres.
Intelligent club

Why on earth would any club currently top of their domestic league want a donkey like torres in the team.
oh.. hang on.

Doubt he would cost half the money of Costa. Costa's release clause is £32m and Bayern would still (quite justifiably) want at least £20-25m for Mandzukic.
We have about £26m from the sale of Mata to use. Plus I doubt our transfer budget will be entirely made up from sales. Just that if we want to make a bunch of big signings, we will need to make some sales to compensate.

Yeah true
I'm just generalising really and looking at it purely as a financial point of view

Will Cech and Courtois have a set to ?
I feel this won't be easy decision for the team spirit in the build up to the new season in who Jose chooses as no.1. I know you will say it was the same with Mata not getting games, but it isn't. Cech has been here and through so much more in his time here. Very under appreciated on and off the pitch by a lot of fans i feel.
But Jose has probably made up his mind already would be my guess.
Just letting fans know Cech might not be here next season. Deserves a good send off if he is

Money will be coming in from 1 of our goalies

You have a very difficult decision to make between Cech and Courtois, yes Cech has been great but Courtois could be your keeper for the next 15 years and you can't risk losing that over sentimentality (see SAF on Scholes v. Pogba)

I doubt Jose has 10 years Gazza
How much would you expect Cech would reach in a sale ?
And where would he go ?

Compete ?
So he's gonna have to make a mistake in a game till he's dropped ?
Hardly gonna build confidence as a Goalie
Sounds like he'll be off the minute he aint getting minutes to me
Real maybe. PSG would probably bid. Atletico will need a keeper ?
Doesn't look like Cech will make the club much in a sale
