    phwepsi: I think we should not buy anyone in January. Better to save the money for summer and assess better the situation as some youngsters will return as most posters stated.
    I mentioned Griezman as he is a great player and I think exactly the one who can complement Hazard, but I understand perfectly that Atletico would be reluctant to sell.
    I am happy that the youngsters at the club start to get opportunities, hope that they’ll improve. Chalobah looks promising, he may be the main backup for Matic and Kanté. Aina will be the main back up for Moses. The problem is RLC, he does not get that much opportunity at the moment. Does Conte trust him? Seems no.

    At the moment I do not see any of those younger players mentioned capable of playing the role/s

    What is wrong with Moses..? While some would argue he was not Chelsea quality, hence so many loans, Conte has rejuvinated him and for me he is doing a great job and could easily have been man of the match on Sunday (IMO). Pedro still looks a bit lightweight to me and wants an age on the ball but give him grass to run into and he transforms and is more than capable of getting goals. He is also a better tackler than Fabregas

    Chelsea are again beginning to look like a top European outfit and there are very few players out there who can improve the team, and they will be expensive, so if Conte can get players from the squad playing well and giving the team balance then I guess that overall I have to be happy with that

    As he also seems to be happy to give the youngsters a try then I am happy with that as well but they will still have to bide their time and prove they are capable (as the differing fortunes of RLC and Chalaboa will highlight). KTBFFH

    As bort rightly said why do we keep talking about Griezman “it won’t happen”.

    Even if Athletico were prepared to sell Griezman their current transfer ban doesn’t allow them to do so until January 2018 without they overturn their transfer ban on appeal which looks unlikely, their first appeal to FIFA failed and they are now drinking in the last chance saloon in appealing to CAS which under exactly the same circumstances didn’t work for Barca so it currently looks like a long shot for them at best!
