Baba looked the goods. I think he'll turn out to be a pretty good player for us.

If Simeone brings Griezmann with him I'll be pretty stoked.

Oh mate tell me about it. How would you set up our attack? Griezmann just behind Costa with Willian on the right and preferably a new goal scoring winger on the left?

I'd be tempted to use Griezmann on the left wing as he has proven he can play that role and score goals it also leaves that position just behind Costa open for maybe Oscar or someone of the sorts

Can he play on the wing? Didn't think he offers much width and thought he likes to play that Messi role just sitting behind the striker. Admittedly, I haven't watched much Atletico since he arrived so I'm not sure what he's capable of. I also thought he played on the RW at Sociedad?I

He started on the left at sociedad he was magic although he played on the right when required he is pretty adaptable and can pretty much play in any attacking or wing role don't get me wrong I'd love to see him play the number 10 role for Chelsea as I'm sure he would be great I just think the hole that will be left by hazard if he leaves will be huge and Griezmann is definitly someone who could come in and fill it he would be an amazing signing either way

Griezmanns a pretty versatile player, he could play upfront with Costa, he could play a little behind or he could play out wide as a winger.
Being left footed is also a bonus as i dont think any of our other attackers are are they?

Pedro is ambidextrous
Hazard is predominantly right but his left is good
The rest are right
Can't see Griezmann happening. We've been linked to Rakitic by all the rubbish newspapers. What a signing he would be. Pity it would never happen.

I still think Conte will be our man anyway(and I'll be prtty stoked with that). Apparently wants to bring in Nainggolan, would transform our CM.

Would be a massive signing. He's a beast.
Would you recall any of our loanees for next season?

Really hope we bring Christensen back to partner with Zouma.

You don't think they're a bit too inexperienced?

Depends of what we do about our CB situation, but Christensen would be one. Though I'd probably prefer us to leave him where he is for another season(he's on a 2 year loan ATM).
Ake would be the other one close, but it's hard to see where he fits for us ATM.
Pasalic, Musonda, Solanke, Boga etc all need more time out on loan.

TheBrownDog
Well they'd probably have to be rotated with Cahill a bit but I think they should be our future top pairing at centre back.

I really think we'll go all out to get an experinced CB to replace Terry(hopefully not Stones). And we'll give Christensen another season out on loan. He'd then come in to replace Cahill(or push him to 4th in line) and we'd have Zouma, Christensen and that experinced CB.

Definitely. Would be set for the next decade.
We've got an experienced CB there who also happens to be a club legend. Surely he has one more year left in him. No idea who we will go for otherwise. Hopefully not another Papy or Miazga. Those signings baffled me.

Would love for Terry to get another season, but it doesn't seem likely unfortunately.

Harsh on Miazga given he's only 20.

Yeah, I'd give Miazga some time. Papy, I'll give you, no idea what we were thinking with that one. What CB do you guys want?

I wouldn't mind seeing how papy goes in Germany before we write him off completely he could be handy as a back up to Cahill but I really think Miazga is a long term prospect along with Christensen there still a little bit off performing at premier league level but young players have surprised us before

But we have Christensen who is 19, more talented and on loan. Not doubting his quality, it just seems like a nothing signing who will end up going on loan and sold for a small profit. Happy to be proven wrong though.

Not sure if we need to buy the next superstar CB with Christensen waiting. Preferably an experienced one (with pace) in the twilight of their career who can guide Zouma.
Chiellini ?

Anyone see Baker's goal this morning? Holy moly

I really think we should give Salah another chance and actually give him some match time thoughts ?
