I have to disagree, I don't think Chelsea are in desperate need of any new players at the moment. Perhaps Morata if Costa leaves in the summer, perhaps a goalkeeper if Courtois does the same, but otherwise I think we look strong. If we got in Sanchez, who do we drop? Willian? Pedro?
Alonso is a problem in our half of the field, but if we get someone who's better defensively we might lose the offensive threat he carries. Kennedy's always looked good to me, seems good going forward and good at closing down (which Alonso ain't) and he won a lot of headers against taller opposition last Saturday. Matic is vital, look how many times he drops into the back three when Cahill or Luiz go forward. Fabregas switches off when asked to play that role, but then he can deliver a ball better than anyone. Matic when we need to be solid, Cesc when we need to open up a team that sits back?
Virgil is a terrific player. I've watched him at Soton for several years and rated him highly, but I still wouldn't change our back three. we have Zouma don't forget
We'll need more players next year when we're playing more games, but I'd like to see our younger players given a chance before we bring in too many new ones
