I missed the interview - what did Drogba say?

Really proud of the team tonight a great display. Mikel & Miereles were a bit of a worry, neither I feel are good enough for this level. Mikel is young and has years ahead of him. I was just wishing the whole night that Mikel would somehow just turn into Makelele!! Anyway great result and something to take into the 2nd half. Now is not the time to celebrate but to prepare! Come on Chels lets finish the job next week. Oh and beat the scum on Saturday!!! That would be a perfect couple of weeks!

Not to sound down about being in an FA cup final and the potential of a UCL final but I am looking forward to seeing what happens at the club during the off season. Do we stay with RDM and let him build the team? Do we go for a big time manager? Jose? Do we start building a younger team? Youngsters like Adam Johnson, Victor Moses, Junior Hoillet all available and who would be great buys for Chelsea. Do will be leaving from the "Old Guard" Malouda? Kalou? DROGBA??? Will be interesting when we get their but I am going to saviour the last few weeks of the season and hope we can have the FA Cup and dream that we can finally get that UCL trophy we have (and Roman) have been aching to get our hands on for a few years.

Starting to get a bit nervous now but also excited about the prospect of giving a good account of ourselves with what is most probably the best team in the world. Got a good feeling about tonight and think we will come out with a decent result but over the two legs think Barca will do it. I getting slightly more and more confident with RDM and believe he has done a great job since coming in. Come on chels a good result tonight and to stand up and be shown at the camp nou next week and we could be heading to Munich. KTBFFH

Think we could be the club that could provide this for him. Cannot see Malouda at the bridge next season and Sturridge seems to have fallen out of cotention a little both with the manager and the fans

I agree with the recent comments about Josh being a bit too light weight, he is still young and still time to grow but if he can develop his touch and passing then there is no reason why he cannot be a great player, look at Zola (I know played in a different postion) and how small he was and see where we got to with the club. Also point out that I seem to remember ARSEnal sending Wilshere to Bolton to toughen up a bit and I think that worked wonders for him. Just a shame that Swansea are having a great season otherwise I think Josh would be playing a bigger part. May be a top half championship club would have been a better option.

I think Moses would be a great buy and relatively cheap compared to other players. I keep hearing that Chelsea need huge world class players but I do not believe this, I think if you get the right players who want to play for the club and fight for the club and success then thats what gets you success. But this has to stem from the top down, from Roman and the manager whoever he may be.

Not being able to provide champions league football could be a stumbling block for these type of galatico's, whcih I think just disrupt the squad (ego's the size of their price tag). If I am honest and I am going to put it out there (go easy as I am a newbie) but would missing out on UCL next year be such a bad thing? Less pressure on the next manager for next season, of cause pressure would be on to get back in the top 4. From players coming in and out point of view it could be a bit of a blessing as players coming in will have that aim to get Chelsea back into the UCL and will want to play their hearts out for the club... Anyway just a thought. Adam Johnson would be a fantastic buy though!!

I hear today that Adam Johnson is available from City, knew we were interested in him before he went to City. Could be the pace we need down the wings. Its very difficult to see who is available, but anyone who has a good Euro 2012 will have their price tag double/triple. Also need to bear in mind that we may not be able to give champions league football, although I see this as a possible blessing in disguise...

Hey guys, newbie here (go easy one me). I think this is one of the nicest kits we have had in a long time, gold trims are a classy touch just need that bit of class to show on the pitch.
