Transfer window

Both Ryan Bertrand and Kevin De Bruyne would be good options for us in terms of strengthening the squad. Having said that I understand that Chelsea has as widely reported in the news, not been too enamoured with the amount of playing time Victor Moses has gotten. 

I think based on the recent comments from Rodgers that may change a bit in the second part of the season if he increases his work rate. 

I havent seen enough from De Bruyne to comment on the comparison of the two but I read he was touted as one of the largest talents in Europe before Chelsea signed him and in preseason (which I know does not count for much) looked very good.

Ryan Bertrand would potentially be an upgrade on Cissoko. I wonder if he would even compete with Jose Enrique when fit because he is quicker and probably better defensively. Having said that I could understand why Chelsea would not want to sell or loan him out. 

I still would prefer us to sign a quick, powerful and talented M'Vila however. I hope those roumors are true that we are making a proper bid for him.
