Can't see Courtois joining us, vital that we keep Hazard (losing Mata was bad enough) Costa would be a good acquisition as would Shaw. Going through the gates would be Lampard ( outstanding ambassador but it's time to let go), Ramires ( can't hack the pressure), Torres, and Ba.
Very good call, only one I'd keep that you'd let go is Luiz. Thorgan Hazard has apparently been on fire and many rate him better than his big brother.
Out: Schwarzer Hilario Mikel Ramires Lampard Ba Torres Romeu Moses Marin In: Courtois Costa/Or a different WC striker Vidal Bertrand Welbeck Zouma Courtois Azpi - Cahill - JT - Cole Vidal - Matic Willian - Oscar - Hazard Costa Subs: Cech - Iva - Bertrand - Luiz - Schurrle - Salah - Welbeck Zouma - Kalas - Eto'o - Van Ginkel - Baker
I'd love to keep Luiz around but if someone came in with an offer of £30m+, I think we'd be stupid not to accept it.
Inclined to agree purely because Jose doesn't seem to be 100% happy with him in either position. His lack of focus worries me but there is no doubt he is one of the best technical players we have. Does Jose think he can mould him into the world class player he potentially is though?
There is one significant reason we can not trade Lukaku in any deal for Costa or indeed anyone, at least until he has had one season at the Bridge. That is the message it would send to every single youth and academy player we have who already know the chances of making the first team are slim. The impact any Lukaku move at this moment of his career would be detrimental to years of Chelsea work. If Jose is behind any such deal someone has to stomp on him hard and right now.
