    I thought my point about your lack of squad depth and the likelihood of you signing English players was valid of discussion and something you are not taking into account. Wanted to know what Chelsea fans thought.

    As usual though Drogs has to resort to childish insults. He's ever so fond of going on everyone else's board and talking negative about other teams but can't seem to take it in return. Child.

    You seem up for it so maybe you can answer my question. Do you really see Chelsea splurging out on foreign players given you don't really have a lot of options already outside the first 11 because of the 25 man squad limits. If you buy one will you have to remove someone from your 25(21) squad to still meet the 8+4 requirements?

    Wouldn't be surprised if Rafa decided to try and get Alonso given their past history. The midfield could do with an older player in with the youngsters and things are sounding rocky at RM so now could be a good time to get him.

    Can't see you getting fellani unless you throw stupid money at Everton - he is crucial to their bid to get into the top 4.

    I think the problem with European players coming is that if they are still involved in the CL then their clubs are unlikely to sell.

    IMO you are unlikely to see "he who shall not be named" being given money to spend as it would be a lot which, if you get either Guardiola or Jose in the summer they are likely to want their own transfer kitty.

    You must think that Everton are minted. They would sell for 15-20 million for sure.

    hhh i hope they sign someone .. that will be the last nail in their coffin kicking them out of CL (thanks to FFP)
    trhey already signed many players, and almost out of CL .. hhhh last season they bought no one had 50m thanks to CL to have a pathetic 1m profit ..will love to see them explaining to UEFA how clubs is going in right direction when making big loss just after first year of making a profit

    Maybe they'll think that they'd make more if they'd qualify for the CL... and they'd get 15-20 million next summer if they don't qualify.

    I reckon he'd more likely cost you 25-30million simply as it's the Jan window

    Should go after Hulk, he's invisible now and it's getting bloody cold in Russia.

    Just chuck another £100m at it.

    That should do the trick.

    Difficult one to answer, but I'll give it a bash. Yes I do think we need to get in 2 more foreign players, because there are no English ones to do the job we need doing. Torres will be one that goes and personally I think Paulo Ferriera will also go ( pretty sure he's in the squad. If so, no change. We have a serious number of qualifying youngsters on loan and in our youth team , and several are poised to step into the squad when Lamps and Cole leave. A rare case of someone at CFC with some vision.
    My guess is we'll be OK.

    I'd love for us to get Witsel to dominate our midfield. Obviously need a striker too, Huntelaar and Llorente both have contracts that finish end of season. We should go in for one of them IMO as they both suit the way we want to play.

    With Torres and/or Sturridge bound to leave in the next 6 months we need at least 2 strikers IMO. Huntelaar and Llorente are great shouts especially given the fees would probably be relatively minimal in comparison to say Falcao.

    Seen that Llorente is definitely leaving 30th June but Bilbao could cash in before rather than lose him for nothing.

    That means a Spanish international striker aged 27 could potentially be bought for under 10 million in Jan. We could sell Sturridge get Llorente and still have money spare. No brainer...surely.

    Seen Hulk may also try and leave Zenit in Jan but I suspect even if he put in a request the money involved would rule out all bar probably PSG.
