It's a good squad.

I'd love to have quite a few of those players...

 

[Rosco]

I think they'll win the league after their summer spending is done.

 

[gkmacca]

A rumour is he wants Luiz out and Mangala from Porto in. I wouldn't be surprised if Rafa goes in for Luiz.

Depends who they get as manager...

... oh.... yeah.... sorry....

Yah - that's all over. I think if he's smart, he cashes in on Cech now and let's Courtois play (he's obviously ready), and buys 1-2 CBs (Terry will be phased out, and Luiz is gone for whatever reason) and buy one striker to cover Lukaku (who's ready) and a few 20-23 year old AMs to interchange with Oscar, Mata etc ... That team is going to be ace.

If think they have more than 25 players.. they have a silly amount of players out on loan...

 

[carlv]

They will have a surplus when Eto & Atsu arrive they will have to offload at least 2 letting Moses goes makes it worse
Homegrown: Cole, Cahill, Bertrand, Terry, Lampard, Moses (6 in total which means squad can only be 23 so a further 17)
Non Homegrown: Cech, Schwarzer, Hilario, Ivanovic, Luia, Azpilicueta, Ramires,Essien, Mata Mikel Schurrle Hazard Oscar
De Bruyne,Willian, Torres Demba Ba (17)

 

[Mors]

Yep surely they've got to flog/loan some as they've got 28 in the first team squad and another 2 coming in at least. And the other 6 on loan.

They've got another 2 homegrown in their first team squad though - Hutchinson and Blackman. So that takes them upto the 8. But they're obviously just taking the piss padding with those 2.

 

[Le Chacal]

Eto'o

 

[King Binny]

Think Ba will properly leave. Isn't there talks of a loan move back to Newcastle? Atsu is still 21 so won't take up slot in the 25 man squad.
