According to today’s reports, Chelsea are in fresh talks with Marseille over Ceser Azpilicueta and will attempt to push through a deal for the Spanish right-back…how many times have we heard this recently?
But the Daily Mirror reckon that the Stamford Bridge club are keen to complete a deal before our Premier League season starts on Sunday against Wigan, so they better get their skates on.
Marseille have already knocked back the Blues’ opening offer of £5m but our representatives had talks with the French club yesterday and their club president has publicly said that Azpilicueta will be allowed to leave for a fair offer. They had a poor campaign last season and finished outside of the European places, so will have to sell some of their assets to reduce their wage bill. Azpilicueta is just one of the players set for a move, along with Stephane Mbia and one of Loic Remy or Andre Ayew.
Branislav Ivanovic won’t serve a ban for the red card he picked up against Manchester City in the Community Shield, so Roberto Di Matteo will have a right-back available for selection against Wigan and Marseille aren’t as in a strong position as they would have been if he was suspended, but the figure will still likely rise above the £6 million mark.
We do desperately need a right-back and after the Maicon deal fell through and the club baulked at Dortmund’s valuation of Lukasz Piszczek, Chelsea will hope to get this deal done as soon as possible. The Mirror also highlighted Juventus’ Switzerland right-back Stephan Lichtsteiner as a fall-back option should the chase for Azpilicueta fail.
Dnt knw y sum pple re stil clamourin 4 a new big name striker,i dnt tink dat is wat we nid nw,4rm wat i saw at d comunity shield i believ torres nd sturridge can lead d line.wat we shud b focusd on is a new RW nd RB.we nid dem urgently
we need moses cesar n cavani dat all
Cavani, moses and cesar are the only solution for chelsea rite now. Get dose three guys n EPL is ours, Blues in my blood 4 life
What i observe in the community shield is the hunt for a right back,top strong striker,and a good defensive midfiels big,strong and agile.
I expect chelsea to go for AZ,cavani,and felini.
Sell essien,maluda,benayoun,
the city game shows how much all teams wants to beat chelsea so we need to be ready cos we hv alot of competion to play.
Get this players and let them blend on time.
Lastly for heaven sake why should we allow our belgium keeper to go on loan to athletic madrid? The boy is hot,we are to sell that tonbull and use that boy and let cech rest a little.
RB
Azpi,Moses and Cavani,period. We dont need Hulk,there is nothing in him(hulk) Up Blues
