Other than the early Champions League exit, 2014/2015 was a pretty successful season. Need to maintain the success domestically and do more in Europe. Looking forward to what should be a more competitive and enthralling campaign.

Projected XI



Highlights:

All 107 Goals from 14/15

Nemanja Matic is REALLY good

Eden Hazard is really good, too

Players In:
Radamel Falcao (LOAN): Striker. Nightmare loan spell at Old Trafford. Seems to be past his best, but could possibly be a better fit in Mourinho’s system. Could also benefit from not having the same high expectations he had going into last season.

Nathan: Attacking Midfielder. Reported 4.5 Million Pounds from Atletico Paranaense. Will reportedly spend the 2015/16 season on loan at Vitesse.

Christian Manea (Supposedly): Right Back. Reported 2.3 Million Pounds from Viitorul Constanta.

Players Out:

Didier Drogba

Petr Cech

Gael Kakuta

Loan Watch:

Lewis Baker: CM (Vitesse)

Mario Pasalic: CM (Monaco)

Christian Atsu: RW (Bournemouth)

Transfer Rumors:

Kenedy: Forward—Fluminense. Often compared to Hulk (Expected to complete move this week for 6.3 Million Pounds)

Antoine Griezmann: Forward—Atletico Madrid. Extremely talented, versatile player. Can play wide, up front or just behind striker.

Paul Pogba: Midfield—Juventus. Chelsea are rumored to be competing for his signature along with every other top club in Europe.

Antonio Rudiger: Center Back—VfB Stuttgart. Very athletic. Wolfsburg also rumored to be interested.

Asmir Begovic: Goalkeeper—Stoke City. Wouldn’t be surprised to see the deal go through this week. Will be a great backup for Courtois with Cech moving to Arsenal.

Baba Rahman: Left Back—FC Augsburg. Roma reportedly have offered higher wages. Not really necessary unless Luis leaves.

Chelsea hold Wembley discussions

quote:

Chelsea have only held preliminary discussions with Wembley about using the national stadium whilst their Stamford Bridge home is redeveloped.

Some reports on Tuesday suggested an eight-figure fee had already been offered by the reigning Premier League champions as they look at options for a temporary home.

Wembley is seen as Chelsea's preferred option but there are other venues, such as Twickenham, which could host their fixtures and are being looked at.


quote:

The Times earlier reported Tuesday that Chelsea were ready to pay £11 million a year to use the stadium

In addition, the newspaper said the Blues made the offer to Wembley Stadium's board and were leading the race over Spurs, who they say offered £8 million a year, to occupy the ground.

Mikel rumors will not die. I think it would be a huge loss. When he comes in, the game is basically over.


ETA: Mourinho says he wants to keep everybody + make three new signings

From June so I'm assuming Falcao and Begovic are the first two. Would leave one more.

I am honestly not the biggest Mikel fan, but I can respect that he's decent depth.

From ESPNFC Today:

Ali Krieger is a Chelsea fan.


Rapinoe doesn't like Chelsea because they have the ability to play good football but don't

Ok so I was driving back to work from lunch to today and I saw this eastern european looking fellow walking the street wearing the 2015/16 home kit.

Problem is it's not even for sale yet

Didn't even catch the fact that McEachran moved to Brentford on a permanent deal earlier today. Really hope he revives his career.

Oh and here's this.

Congrats to Cesc!

I want to keep Mikel. He locks up the W when he comes in.

We need to get active in the market and seal the deal on a couple of guys. I want Griezman talk to restart... We need some more creative scorers outside of Hazard.
