I've been saying this for SO long. But every time I say it, I get knocked back and Chelsea fans say they'd rather spend lots of money and have success immediately and essentially ignore those players (See posts saying: "I want Modric/Neymar/Pastore/Insert random European name here").
Same with Modric interest - McEachran has the chance to be a top class player, but he won't if Modric commands a big transfer fee and the manager feels he has to play him. Just like Sturridge didn't get a chance at Chelsea because Torres was brought in, out of form, and Ancelotti desperately tried to fit him - like a square peg in a round hole - because he cost £50m and it would look silly if he just dropped him.
Yes, McEachran probably needs a loan to reach his potential quicker, but he also needs games at Chelsea. I can easily see him breaking through like Wilshere did for us, but not if they sign Modric.
On yer bike, son.
We are not ready to build our team around Josh yet and Lamps is getting on hence why we need a top class CM right now... Modric is 26 and in 6 years he will probably be phased out to make way for Josh who will be 23/24 by then, its a good plan and if we buy Modric, I suggest we send Josh onto loan to a PLM side and then rotate him until Modric/Lamps/whoever retires and he has good enough experience to step in

If we are going to sign a wide player it should be one of Neymar or Sanchez not both. Sturridge can play either side so he is versatile and either of the above could go the opposite side with Torres through the middle.
Neymar wont block Sturridge at all, infact he will complete our team
I have posted this formation up loads of times but i suppose i will do it again
Neymar-----Torres-----Sturridge
if we are to assume AVB keeps with his 4-3-3
and with Malouda, Drogba and Benayoun as cover
only blip is both Anelka and Kalou will have to leave but i really dont care if we manage to get sucha front line
