Jesus. After all the upheaval, we're in 3rd place, and all cup competitions, and people want us to ship out half the team???

That's all down to the manager really.

I wouldn't mind seeing us getting Ricardo Queresma into the club. I think we are in need of a bit of quality out wide and his the most obvious option at the moment.

So here's my CHELSEA 2008/09

GOALKEEPERS
Cech,Cudicini
DEFENDERS
Terry, Carvalho, Alex, Ivanovic, A.Cole, Beletti, Bridge, Richards
MIDFIELDERS
Ballack, Modric, Essien, Mikel, Bilyaletdinov
WINGERS
J.Cole, Sinclair, Zhirkov, Alves, Malouda
STRIKERS
Drogba, Berbatov, Anelka, Kalou

That’s a great line up, oh Wealthy One, but I’d make the following changes…

Defenders - wouldn’t spend the vast sum required to get Richards, regard Alves as the RB and if he and Belletti are seen as too offensive, Ivanovic and Essien provide good cover.

Midfield - Lamps stays, indifferent on Bilyatdinov, rest perfect.

Wingers - don’t know enough about Zhirkov, but would be content with Joe, Sinclair, SWP and probably Drenthe coming in on a swap with Malouda.

Strikers - Berbatov, Kalou, Huntelaar and, even though it looks like Anelka is coming, I’d have preferred Kenwyne Jones to really bring the age levels down and send the hunger levels up.

Those Russian players i have mentioned aren't likely to end up at Chelsea but the point i was trying to make is we should go for younger, less known players with everything to prove.
I look at Arse and see the likes of Sagna and Eduardo who came out of nowhere,signed for peanuts and are now playing quite well for the side that's on the  top of the the league table. I wonder when are we going to see the same at the Bridge. What exactly Arnesen and his mighty scout network are busy doing?

As for Zhirkov here's a clip of what he's capable of, i know everybody looks good on youtube but what i mean is you don't have to always go for the big names to improve the team.

tremendously well taken goal, and at the same time terrible defending. The one thing I do like about your line up Abram, is that it does have the mix of big names and lesser names yet to prove themselves (but still show glimmers of brilliance like this).  I think that is a decent blend, and if they don't prosper, we sell them on and lose nothing

Good point. The manager should have some input aswell, what with his 30 year experience n' all. Signing ready made household names is not necessarily a recipe for sucess.

The guy in that vid looked good but then again there was no pressure. Nobody tried and close him down. His ball control wasn't that good. Looked fast though.
