Why Chelsea Should Replace Terry With Ligue 1 Star

It seems as though John Terry will be playing his final season in a Chelsea shirt this time round, as the Mirror report that the 'captain, leader, legend' has not been offered a new long-term deal and is resigned to leaving. It's undoubtedly bad news for the club, as they lose a defensive rock and the fans lose a firm favourite, but he's not getting any younger and they need to start thinking about the future.

Chelsea: Sign Ivan Rakitic To Replace Creativity

With Juan Mata now seemingly on his way to MAnchester United and Kevin de Bruyne having already left to Wolfsburg, Chelsea have lost a lot of creativity this transfer window.

Chelsea: Offload Ba And Make A Move For Edin Dzeko

He finished at Manchester City's top Premier League scorer last season with 14 goals despite managing just nine full games all term.  He single handedly dragged his nation Bosnia to their first World Cup in their history which will take place in the summer. He has also scored 16 goals this season, six of which have been in the league this time round, though he is probably City's third choice striker.
