I was about to post saying I think we still need a central midfielder and in FM terms a deep lying playmaker e.g Modric.
Rumours of Hulk going around now, no thanks.
Apparently he has been in talks with four Premier League clubs, all rumours though, I like Hulk as a player but not sure if Chelsea would need him.
A right winger who cuts in and shoots??? Think we have one already!!!
Also Marin is quoted to saying: "Chelsea is my dream, Tottenham were interested earlier, but i rejected them to join Chelsea."
Good stuff, already slating Spurs will get you a long way mate lol.
Yes I know dude, I said I don't think Chelsea would need him![]()
Oh i know you did lol, i was just trying to be funny with my spin on it.
Oh right lol, yes I think McEachran deserves a chance, not too sure whether Chelsea will look to fill that position though with some quality, we all know how Roman likes to get involved with his transfers![]()
I like the look of Chalobah and Feruz, particularly Nats. Very athletic centre-back. Puts me in mind of a Thiago Silva or Rio Ferdinand, albeit without the latter's extraordinary intelligence and reading of the game (yet).
I went to the Youth Cup Final the other week, they both scored and both played incredibly. Chalobah was playing in a defensive centre-midfield role and bossed the game along with Swift and Baker. Feruz scored 2 very good poachers goals but probably should work on his discipline (he got frustrated later and put in a stupid needless tackle to earn himself a yellow.)
The news just hit me in the face. wtf.
I liked Marin before except for his attitude, not sure how good he is NOW considering the fact I've barely watched Bundesliga this season.
please enlighten me, what is his preferred/natural position? #10 or winger? I've watched him play on the wing (right) but that may have changed.

Probably as a number 10 - and that's where he's been played this season - but I'd say he's better wide, and the presence of Mata means he'll certain to go wide.
Has only played 17 league games this season due to injuries but seems as if they use him on the left side (malouda replacement) as he can use both feet pretty well.

Too bad as Marin has a tendency to take his sweet time on the ball and fluff attacks by not passing the ball.
Marin and Sturridge. That's got to be one of the most selfish wing partnerships I've ever seen.

I see. So Mata can take the #10 position then. Finally. The player we need exactly to unleash Mata.
Well I'm happy we are working in the right direction, and this signing hopefully will be the first of many steps toward that much needed overhaul.
Hopefully he can work on his attitude as well, because last time I checked he had a huge behaviour issue.
Order in time for the Cup Final fellow Blues.
