Stones and Fabinho in but steer clear of Xhaka? Free agents and who to avoid
[BBC] [Getty Images] We asked for your views on which free agents Chelsea could target this summer and whether there is one player the Blues are linked with but you hope they never sign. Here are some of your comments: Peter : I think a great signing for free would be John Stones, his experience could be similar to our signing of Silva. I know Stones could be a bit injury prone but I think it's a risk worth taking, and he would help our inexperienced centre backs on and off the field. Benjamin : Secure Vozinha now!! What are we waiting for? He has mature shoulders, can clearly play out from the back and is confident in his decision making, something Sanchez can only dream of! And he's a marketing dream! Mohammed : I would try my best to get John Stones. Xhaka is prone to a red card and should perhaps be avoided. Daniel : I would like us to go and sign Fabinho - a very good player who's a free signing unlike the recent Xhaka who Sunderland overpriced and is much older than him. More-so, his previous Liverpool career helps us gain advantage in terms of Premier League experience and inside knowledge about Liverpool just like our manager Alonso. So, I suggest we go for him immediately before we lose him to another rival! Fanta : Of the available free transfers, IMO I would go for John Stones. Versatile and experienced defender. Adding an older head in the training ground and dressing room. Look at Desailly's wisdom being passed on with JT. Bring him in. James : Fabinho would bring great experience and if fit John Stones likewise, especially in a young team. The one player I'm not overly sold on is Valentin Barco, I just feel that the money could be better spent elsewhere rather than another internal transfer. Peter : Definitely Dusan Vlahovic. He looked great when he began at Juventus, but lost his way. He needs to get his career back in a groove. David : The wages required by freebies would probably rule out a lot of them. Especially Salah! In an ideal world - Stones, and Solly March. The first would be steadying, a good partner for Colwill and influence on Josh. I watch a lot of Brighton and Solly March is reliable, experienced and Premier League ready. Both have had there fitness issues but with no euro games, that could be adequately managed. Don't go near Xhaka. We have enough red cards in a season thanks very much.
