sh74 Posted July 23, 2017 Share Posted July 23, 2017 Cabaye looks like he's leaving Palace too. Remy, Cabaye, Ben Arfa...let's bring the band together. Would definitely take Cabaye back. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Odear Posted July 23, 2017 Share Posted July 23, 2017 I'd have Cabaye back in a shot but not to play along side Shelvey. They offer similar passing attributes but Cabaye is by far the better all rounder. We do need a striker but even more so of a problem is DM, the difference a Samaris or a Carvalho would make to the team would be massive. If we're holding our own in the middle, means our defence isn't under as much pressure which means we're less likely to give away needless goals. Shelvey is a wonderful passer of the ball, but he can't defend for shit.. never mind Diame or Colback. Hayden is better but still not really that sort of player. Plus at his age it's a massive ask to perform consistently at a role he's not ideal for. I would be very surprised if Rafa doesn't have this as a priority too.

xLiaaamx Posted July 23, 2017 Share Posted July 23, 2017 Shelvey right now looks a lot more athletic than Cabaye has lately. Not sure he's the same player we sold. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's face it, he's slumming it at Palace. Getting paid yes. But not where someone of his level should be just on the other side of his peak. We were very lucky to have him and I don't blame him for wanting out at the time when he did. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody Posted July 23, 2017 Share Posted July 23, 2017 Was bored and having a look at skybet, not that it means much if anything but we are currently favourites to sign Clucas (1/3) and Batshuayi (7/2). Would anyone be happy with that? Would fwap my knob off if we signed Batshuayi Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoveItIfWeBeatU Posted July 23, 2017 Share Posted July 23, 2017 Batshuayi is the sort of player I hope we can get on loan but it probably wouldn't happen until the end of the transfer window. Chelsea will be looking to buy another striker before they think of loaning out Batshuayi. Maybe even another two strikers if Costa is leaving.

Chelsea will be looking to buy another striker before they think of loaning out Batshuayi. Maybe even another two strikers if Costa is leaving. Well they just signed Morata I meant as well as Morata. They currently list their strikers as Michy Batshuayi, Diego Costa and Alvaro Morata. If Costa leaves they'll need a replacement. We need Chelsea to have 3 strikers not including Batshuayi to have a chance of him going on loan. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well they just signed Morata They have the Champions League campaign this season as well though, there's no way they'll go into that with just say Morata and Batshuayi. If Costa does leave, for Batshuayi to go out on loan they'll need at least 2 more strikers imo. Edit : what LoveItIfWeBeatU said. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
