I know there are a few blues online here, just curious your thoughts on the matic signing? Do you need ANOTHER midfielder? And resigning a paperweight in the luiz transfer for £25m? Would you not prefer a stricker?
 
We definitely need a new striker (I assume the terms of the loan agreement means that Lukaku cannot come back before next season) before a new midfielder, but reckon the re-signing of Matic will herald the departure of Essien after De Bruyne, with Mata probably (although I hope not) heading elsewhere at the very end of the transfer window. Would expect that Lampard's role will become less after this season, then probably a half-decent bit of business by Jose. Would have preferred one of the younger lads being given more of an opportunity though. But cannot argue with the Special One's record whilst at Chelsea and glad that the average age of the team has been lowered.

Do you not find it frustrating that in a month where you've announced losses and failure to meet your original targets of sustainability you've gone and paid £25 for a player you effectively relapsed a few years back.........

Spot the error!!
He would be a good signing at £25.
Crazy world fitba, Sell a player for £3m and buy him back for £25m a couple of years later. Tax loss maybe?

errors more like! Relapse lol?
i guess £25 wouldn't have been so bad lol. Not sure they're fussed about the money to be honest. Just a good sound bite for them to aim at I guess? Looks a good player, but so did Anderson and Nani in Portugal.......

Mall very nice, but bit sure what relevance it has to my original question though.......
 
it shall be seen as an background-- why we doesnt care about such issues as silly season and rumours ----its chelsea hell and chelsea heaven -what ever other think about cfc and there handling..

Also shows why you're so unloved by many too. Spending money and running up huge debt that would cripple you should roman leave isn't idle talk or silly season. And my original question were for thoughts on buying an ex player and not a striker? These aren't rumours. If you have a relevant reply feel free to share.
