Wenger can't complain about us selling top players to rivals. Wenger has been doing it for years.

He did actually complain about MataComment

Re: ***The Official Chelsea FC Thread***
To be clear, his issue was that Mata was sold in January after Chelsea had already played United in the league twice, and he would've been ineligible if they played each other in the CL.
It wasn't a blanket complaint about selling players to rivals, as we all know about his track record in that department...heh.Comment

Re: ***The Official Chelsea FC Thread***
Yeah, it's no offense to you or OneDrop, Kreb. We just don't like your team.
...or it's fans
But you guys are ok? It gets kind of confusing.
Anyways, I wish ill on your entire team. But have a nice day?
Yeah.Comment

Re: ***The Official Chelsea FC Thread***
Thoughts on Turan? I like him as a player on Chelsea. Basically a perfect Mourinho winger. I don't like the thought of Oscar and Willian losing out.
Turan wouldn't really bring goals, but he's basically a developed Willian if I'm correct.SEATTLE SEAHAWKS

Re: ***The Official Chelsea FC Thread***
A very expensive sub/motivation for both Fabregas and Willian. We don't really need Turan, there are other players I'd rather see us buying.
Baba, another CB for the future (Stones highly preferred) are both must haves for me. Also, I think we should splash for somebody big (Griezmann, Bale, etc.) because in the end we are trying to reach that last club level and we need lots of big players in order to do it.
Also, I am kind of starting to think we should buy Icardi. He's young and improving at a tremendous rate, he's proved he can handle pressure, he doesn't seem to ever get injured, he's already exceedingly good. Truth is, Costa and Remy both will always be a scare for injuries, buying somebody like Icardi gives us a different kind of option.
Legitimately think Jose could turn Icardi into a monster.Comment

Re: ***The Official Chelsea FC Thread***
Not sure, but he would definitely be expensive.
He isn't the same as Cavan really, he doesn't have the same workhorse ethic. He has a lot of skill though, he's actually a La Maia youth product. He is a monster in the air but also has a lot of pace, he's startlingly complete for such a young player. He definitely has an attitude problem, which is why he isn't with Barcelona, but Jose has plenty of experience with attitudes.Comment

Looks like Arda Turan is actually going to Barca. Which totally makes sense since Barca is supposedly under a transfer ban. Oh FIFA.Comment

Re: ***The Official Chelsea FC Thread***
They can sign players, they just can't register them until January. So Adam will either train with the team until then or get loaned back to Atletico or something.
I'm fine with him going to Barca, there's better ways we could spend that kind of money.Comment

Re: ***The Official Chelsea FC Thread***
Despite my rant about Icardi, I am very curious about Bertrand Traore. It isn't very often that Jose is that excited about a young player, wondering if he is going to play a role in the first team this season.Comment

Re: ***The Official Chelsea FC Thread***
I think he got his work permit sorted out too. From what I can remember of his highlights he's very composed around the box and has a good finesse shot. I'd like to see him go out on loan in the Championship where he can play. Too much money involved in the Prem which leads to managers playing their favorites.
Happy we didn't sign Arda, would be happier if Remy stays. Costa is injury prone/always in danger of getting suspended. Falcao's still a mystery. He was a big letdown in Copa America. If Remy would have stayed healthy last year he would have scored DD goals in the league as our 3RD STRIKER.
Supposedly there's a bidding war going on between La Viola and Inter and it's getting ugly. If we can get 20 mil euros for him I'd be happy. Even happier if Juve takes Cuadrado off our hands. If that happens we would need another winger/attacking middie.
I still wouldn't mind any of these guys
Griezman
Walcott
Sterling
Reus
Lacazette (especially if we let Remy go)
Seamus Coleman (I think he can be a Milner type player, slot it all over the place. Good at a lot but great at nothing)Comment

Re: ***The Official Chelsea FC Thread***
Lacazette is good enough to challenge Costa for a striking spot. He can play RW but he's definitely a striker. Griezmann would be interesting because I think his best position is on the left.
Reus would be amazing but I don't think he will leave, also buying Reus would mean moving Hazard to the middle which wouldn't necessarily be bad but would mean a slightly different approach than our current style.Comment
