I dunno, they seem to do a great job on the field both taking responsibility for the team acting as captains in their own right. But yeah i would be suprised if one would be complacent to be a number 2 to the other.

Yeah I'd have to agree with you i think it would be to early at the moment but i think it would be a great idea for the future. He seems to have a great understanding of the game and is a very passionate and driven character, perfectly suited for a position in management. Lampard and Terry as Chelsea's future managerial staff, i can see it now. Well, i can dream atleast.

Hey there. Read an article on the mirror, great articles i know right, recommending that Lampard take over as Player-Manager, almost Kenny Dalgish esque and wondered what your opinions would be? I would post the link to the blog/article but not enough posts unfortunately.

Fair Play we are all entitled to our own opinions. I meant in the sense that they blow very hot and cold and you don't know what player your going to get. He's a good squad player but can't see him transforming us and Nando into world beaters. Hopefully i'm wrong.

I personally do not follow the addiction some people have on this forum with Benayoun. Was hardly anything special at Liverpool, had his moments but was just a poor mans Joe Cole. But apart from that i agree with you on the rest of the team, maybe rest Ivan/Terry and play Luiz. Might aswell considering he cant play in the UCL. And Torres behind Kalou, say what lad?

And my apologies if this thread is in the wrong section of the forum.

Well after browsing through the news and this forum it is very interesting to imagine the team we could have lining up for us next year with the players linked with us and the ever loosening of Abramovich's walllet. Personally this is how i would like to see the team line up, including cover for each position. Imaginative thinking with the spending but i think if we were to let go of Malouda, Anelka and perhaps even Zhirkov whislt we can still get a good bit for him. Working out the average age of the team too it would be around 24 years old, perhaps a team capable of building a legacy? Haha, wishful thinking i know. And the reason i chose to go back to the 433 is i simply think the 442 is not a formation suited for the modern game and we will get found out against good sides. Neymar(Sturridge) - Torres(Drogba) - Sanchez(Kalou) Ganso(Lampard) - Ramires(Josh) Essien(Mikel) Cole(PVA) - Terry(Alex) - Luiz(Ivan) - Ivanovic(Boss) Cech
