Have a Chelsea problem. Currently in 2012-13 season. Mostly a defensive issue.
Current defensive players:
Bosingwa/Ivanovic - Terry - Alex - Cole
Others available:
Bruma (came back from loan)
Ferreira (33 years old)
Carvalho (34 years old)
I was wondering if Bruma could do the job and I can let go of some of my defenders who are 32+. He was on loan in Russia for a year and now I have clubs offering £20 million+ for his services but I turned it down because I was unsure.
Probably need another defensive signing as I'd like to invest in youth. Somewhere under £10 million would be feasible for me. I never sign more than 1 marquee player each year. (Bought Hamsik, Ramires, Neymar.)
I'm currently tapping up Otamendi but I'm holding out to see if I can get a good home grown player to develop into a strong defender. Tried loaning Gerson from Gremio but he failed to make an appearance. Any suggestions for a new LB, CB and a stable RB would be welcome. Just want to look into new names that can be pretty realistic.
