Revealed: How Chelsea will line up after £100m spree (stunning Man Utd and Everton)

Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho could have spent £100m by the end of the summer

THIS is how Chelsea could be set to line up under Jose Mourinho this season.

 

Champions Chelsea have made an awful start to the Premier League campaign by their own high standards, taking just a point from their first two games.

Mourinho has been involved in a public bust-up with his medical team and has cut a forlorn figure in the dug-out.

 

But Blues owner Roman Abramovich has responded by opening his chequebook to follow up the £21.7million signing of left-back Baba Rahman by beating Manchester United to land Barcelona ace Pedro for £21.4m.

John Stones, Pedro and Baba Rahman could be set to link up at Chelsea

Chelsea's business before this week had been minimal, with their only major signings being £8m Asmir Begovic and Radamel Falcao on loan.

 

Mourinho has also spent £4.5m on Brazilian youngster Nathan and £1.25m on Serbian hotshot Danilo Pantic, while a £6.3m deal for another Brazilian teenager Kenedy is in the offing.

And should Chelsea agree to pay £40m for Everton defender John Stones the Stamford Bridge club's summer business will push through the £100m mark.

Here News News Blog Sport puts ourselves in Mourinho's shoes to guess his thinking.

 

Thibaut Courtois will start in goal despite Begovic's arrival, but experienced stalwarts John Terry and Branislav Ivanovic could both drop out of the first team.

Terry was substituted at half-time during the 3-0 defeat to Manchester City while Ivanovic has had a nightmare start to the season.

Rahman could come in at left-back allowing Cesar Azpilicueta to return to his natural right-back position, with Stones partnering Gary Cahill.

Terry and Ivanovic, 34 and 31 respectively, could come in for the big games but this back four looks like a long-term prospect. 

 

In midfield Nemanja Matic is likely to continue alongside Ramires as a double defensive shield, allowing Cesc Fabregas to push further forward and pull the strings.

Eden Hazard on one wing and Pedro on the other is a mouth-watering prospect and forces Willian on to the bench.

Diego Costa starts up front meaning Falcao and Loic Remy are available in reserve.
