Striker: Fernando Forestieri, SheffieldW, if they need cash. or Abraham, Chelsea LB: Targett, Southampton or Cresswell, West Ham CD: Gary Cahill, Chelsea Maddison stayed on the bench yesterday. woods on the bench for Brentford today. (Starts vs us on wedensday?) Forestieri starts for Sheffield W today. Abraham out of the squad agianst Arsenal yesterday. Targett and Cresswell both on the bench yesterday. Cahill not in Chelsea's squad. Forestieri and Cresswell I think will stay at their clubs. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So i don't think it's behond the realms of possibility to speculate that their omissions from starting 11's is a result of such speculation. Like you, I'd be amazed if Forestieri left Wednesday. Abraham isn't good enough for Chelsea imo so will go out on loan. Cahill I'd imagine would have PL interest The next week or so will certainly be interesting.

Guest av1 Posted August 19, 2018 Share Posted August 19, 2018 I find it interesting that Terry hasn't gone anywhere yet. Yes he's signed some media gig but he was at pains over the summer to point out that he hasn't retired. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought that we might get another year from JT but when asked last week about him Bruce said it won’t happen as the owners have made clear they want to go for younger hungry players - however if we can’t get the players we want I’d guess Bruce could ask the question again . im surprised axel is not at centre half but I think we need a striker , winger and left back if we can Edited August 19, 2018 by Eastie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premier league clubs can’t loan any players in so hopefully we are an attractive choice for those players . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IIRC, he said he wanted to get both back but the owners were not having it. I do think it was more than a week ago he said that, so could easily be different interviews. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm with the owners with this one I'm afraid, we need a younger fitter squad. Don't think Terry was half as good last year as people make out on here. Besides he hasnt kicked a ball since the playoff final and will need lots of time to get up to speed, not sure he could motivate himself as he's probably accepted deep down no one is signing him. Having said that if Bruce thinks Jedinak is the answer then get Terry in ASAP 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having said that if Bruce thinks Jedinak is the answer then get Terry in ASAP It was a delight to see Terry's distribution and intelligence last season. It seems to me though that his performance did dip towards the end so maybe that "one more season" was best for both sides. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
