Rakitic is who I'd be throwing the money at.

First time i've heard of Newcastle and Hull interest, have heard the Aston Villa rumours though, also read something about heading to Germany for a loan period too.Hey guys, doing a bit of reading over the weekend and apparently there is a rumour going around that we are keen to take young defender Tomas Kalas on loan (Villa and Hull also reportedly interested)?
Just wondering if you guys had any thoughts about him? Apparently has been out on loan a bit the last few years and has made a few cup appearances including in the CL? Can play either right or centre back too? Maybe he is one who might fall down the pecking order with Zouma now on the books?
P.S please don't sign Cabella

He made his full debut against Liverpool a few weeks ago and didn't look out of place, he kept Suarez pretty quiet and for a young bloke without alot of Chelsea first team experience that says alot imo. Started the final game of the season against Cardiff and again played pretty well. He made his CL debut in the group stages but that was only a token time wasting subsitute if I remember correctly.
He said himself he see's himself more as a CB but played on the Right during his loan period for Vittese last season. If I had it my way I would send him for a loan period to the PL for a season as I think Mourinho wants Zouma for the first team next season.
You can have Cabella
I think Mou has high hopes and sees him as a future 1st team player, as do I. A loan at this point would be best, I agree because right now the worst thing that could happen is we could stall his career if we keep him in the squad.Thanks mate! I've only seen our interest reported once (on a Newcastle fan page which is one of the better new sources for anything concerning the toon). Sounds like he might be a likely type - not sure we really need another CB but we could use cover at RB (or if Debuchy leaves...). Apparently Mou rates him but wants to give him some PL experience. He'd probably get more game time at Villa (or Hull if their interest is genuine).
There was some talk earlier in the window of Ba coming back but I think in the last week, there has been strong suggestions he will be staying put?
I hope the rumours that Chelsea want Cabella are just fluff, we won't be able to compete on fees or wages

Not really sure of the situation with Ba but if reports are to be believed Mou has asked him to stay and that he'll getting more games. Perhaps Mou recognised the hard work he puts in and his professional attitude about it. Ba confirmed it on twitter and I believe he has agreed to stay and work even harder. So i'm thinking a rotation of Costa/Manduzic, Ba and Lukaku.
I read a report that we have enquired aboiut Cabella but I wouldn't look to much into it, it wasn't a very reliable source.
Yeah, he is getting to that age in the next 12-24 months where he probably either be good or not good enough for the Chelsea first team. Given how important getting experience would be, he probably would be better off going to another club where he could get guaranteed minutes rather than be a fringe/squad player for us.
I'd have Ba back if he was available but if not, I suppose we could take Lukaku on loan
I'm hoping we are only genuinely interested club in Cabella to hopefully keep his price down a bit.
I reckon his manager is only using Chelsea interest to get his wages up, AM iss the last thing we need.
Unbelievable he gets a spot ahead of Negredo. Could get another dodgy golden boot if he starts against the socceroos thoughSo Torres makes the final 23 man Spanish squad, and with Costa injured it looks like he'll definitely be getting some game time. There's just too much man love for him over in Spain (although I may share their sentiments)
Be remiss not to mention Dave as well, very well deserved and should start most if not all matches.
