Transfer Rumour Thread

what if we had Rogers? and also, would adding Vertonghen increase our chances to bring Eriksen in?

I say bring on the 4-3-3, bring on the possesssion play, and bring on the trophies. I can't say it enough, sorry if its getting old, but for me, Rogers is the only way to move forward with what we have now.

I'd rather see how Rodgers deals with his second Premiership season before we consider him for Spurs. There is a big risk that Swansea's success this season is a bubble that will burst next year.

What this says most to me is that Chelsea fail to deal well bringing through youth.


Lukaku was supposed to be a promising player, and they might not be extending Drogba's stay, so they're going to need to buy another striker.
 
think thats a great bit of business by chelski, 8M for a 23 yr old who's shown what he can do against us and other top tier teams. a bit inconsistent but for only 8M, not a bad deal at all.
