HalfTimePost Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 No chance of Townsend, give it a year and he could be a regular for them. No thanks to Moses, we already have NZogbia for what he offers and I dont particularly want him either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isa Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 (edited) I could see Moses going to Smethwick. With Clarke there they will be happy to be an unofficial feeder club for Chelsea. A front three of Sinclair-Vydra-Moses doesn't sound too bad to be fair though. Edited August 22, 2013 by Isa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supervillan78 Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 (edited) Oh well. Its all gone a bit to quiet, apart from the Albrighton link there's been nowt. I was sure we'd make another signing after Bent left. Edited August 22, 2013 by Supervillan78 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myko Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 Pretty sure N'zogbia isn't as much of a "bomber" as the rest. When he got injured Lambert was quoted saying "He'll get his head down and get himself fit again and he'll have plenty of support in doing so". Pretty sure the number is just due to it being a fairly long term injury so Lambert has given it to someone else. I'm convinced if he hadn't gotten injured Weimann would have no. 9.

PieFacE Posted August 22, 2013 VT Supporter Share Posted August 22, 2013 (edited) Nothing new but.... Avillafan.com @Avillafan28m Aston Villa are said to be interested in Victor Fischer for around £6M according to @Futebol_MercBR Edited August 22, 2013 by PieFacE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
packoman Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 £6m? Think they will want more than that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HalfTimePost Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 I would think so too, although it wouldnt surprise me if he went for a sum not much higher than that. If Fischer was English there would probably be talk of £15-20m transfers for him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isa Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 Bony went for £12m to put it in context. Fischer would be at least £20m in my opinion. I think Eriksen will leave Ajax this window, so they won't be in any rush to let Fischer go as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PieFacE Posted August 22, 2013 VT Supporter Share Posted August 22, 2013 (edited) I'll be a bit disappointed if we don't sign anyone else to be honest. We haven't spent a lot this window compared to other clubs and with Bent gone, it should allow us to sign someone. I know that spending more money doesn't always mean better signings, but Lambert's most expensive signing is also by far his best. So I'd like to see him spend 6-10m on another player.

Skruff Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 It's scary how the big clubs can just hijack trades simply because their position is being threatened and not because they actually need the players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dont_do_it_doug. Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 (edited) I wouldn't be so sure. Unlike us a few years ago, they are signing players good enough for the top 4. Also unlike us, they have a progressive manager with good knowledge of the continental markets. I don't see why they couldn't be at a similar level to where Spurs are now in a few years if they continue with this level of investment. They've yet to sign a single player good enough for the top 4. Fwiw, we have at least one. Edited August 22, 2013 by dont_do_it_doug. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bose Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 Nothing new but.... Avillafan.com @Avillafan28m Aston Villa are said to be interested in Victor Fischer for around £6M according to @Futebol_MercBR I'll bet he got his info from VT when someone mentioned him the other day. He's one of the most promising youngsters in europe and he wont go for 6m. Try 15m. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HalfTimePost Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 (edited) De Bruyne. Now I know what everyone is going to say, and I almost entirely agree but hear me out. If Mata doesn't leave he is, at worst, a great option to come off of the bench even if he isn't favoured as an automatic starter by Mourinho. (Crazy if they sell him though) Hazard is one of the best young players in the world and is, without doubt an automatic starter. Oscar too is a great young player and already has proven to be a superb asset to a premier league team and is probably more highly rated than De Bruyne. Schurrle was bought under Mourinho so is obviously going to be expecting a lot of game time. Huge speculation they are also bringing in Willian, again would be a buy from under Mourinho, again plays in the same position as De Bruyne. It would seem as though Moses would be off for sure, but he may want to stay and they may want to keep him to help out with their homegrown quota, but I concede he is most likely to leave. De Bruyne has been farmed out on loan a lot already and has already played with Benteke. Theres certainly room in that squad for De Bruyne to get a decent run out as they play with 3 attacking midfielders and obviously theres a lot of competitions that Chelsea play in but there is always a risk that with 5 other players who are either more highly rated and/or bought by the current manager that he could find himself down the pecking order, I dont particularly think he will, he's an outstanding talent. But it would be a stupendous piece of business as either an all out purchase (which is extremely unlikely) or even on loan [which i dont very much like] if we are struggling to find an AM at the right price (which is possible with failed enquiries for Belhanda, Kiyotake, and everyone else). Weimann De Bruyne Gabby Benteke Yum. Edited August 22, 2013 by HalfTimePost Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarewsEyebrowDesigner Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 When does the window close? 2nd September. I'll sleep better at night if we sign some 'genuine' quality to play 'in the hole'. And a defender. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biskitt Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 Would love De Bruyne but Mourinho rates him highly and started him in the first game. No chance I'm afraid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 yeah de bruyne will get plenty of game time and star for Chelsea this year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
