Winston Bogarde. And C.Ronaldo, i just dislike him generally, i know hes not ex-blue.

Did i not read somewhere a while ago he might go to newly promoted southampton?

See thats all well and good, but i do think we need to let torres have his chance to shine. hes looked good and if we have mata to provide him with hazard/marin/kdb/whoever on the wings i think he'll flourish. but youre right if he doesnt we're screwed, so imo get promising up-coming strikers rather than already prolific ones like defoe.

I've been saying this alot but schurrle looks good, though he is on a 4 year deal at leverkusen.

Bosingwa is not good enough

i agree schurrle looks promising, might be expensive as hes on a 4 year deal or something. Assuming we dont sign anyone else (seems unlikely), this would be my first team but with perhaps ramires on the right and marin/KDB alternating depending on form. id love to see our kaka (piazon) come through too and josh, though im annoyed swansea didnt play him enough. http://www.futhead.com/12/squad/844495

Keep torres and sign schurrle for the bench

Here's my team for next year, assuming we dont sign anyone new and keep KDB. http://www.futhead.com/12/squad/844495

So the drog is officially leaving. let torres step up or cut our losses and sell him?

haha well said! i'd like to stay, but it might not be best for the club.

Reading this has me rather emotional. Will always be remembered, the stats speak for themselves. Nobody quite has the ability to terrorise defenders like the drog. Step up fernando you have large orange boots to fill.

Modric - too expensive but yes please Hulk - too expensive and not really my kind of player, but still a machine in front of goal Van der Wiel - I like ivanovic at RB, but if we were to get another then it'd be him Marin - a done deal, looks impressive Hazard - needs to quit his flirting with the top prem clubs and pick, us preferably.

This is exactly what i'm saying.

That's true, with the new UEFA regulations coming in very soon we cant afford the defecits we currently experience. sadly, if the way to do reduce this is to move, the club may just do it.

Yes very true, id forgotten about gael. Is piazon ready? not too sure. i do wish he'd come off the bench against blackburn though.

Agree with meireles if we dont sign anyone else. kalou, i'm sorry but no. he wants regular football and we cannot give it to him

Bump. Thoughts on stadium? i think we should stay at the bridge. correct me if i'm wrong but i saw somewhere ages ago that we could develop the bridge to hold 53,000 (or something like that)?

Agree with all excpet kalou. Essien.. you're right, i just dont think he looks comfortable comitting to pushing too hard since his injury, and yes it looks like hes lost his pace. get rid of him? i'm not sure.

keep meireles if we dont sign anyone better, but he shouldnt start. totally agreed about kalou. yeah i did think i read that about kdb, it'll be good for him i reckon.

Yes thats true. like ive said, if we dont find a replacement we should keep him but he should not be a regular. back-up.

if you watch him, more than half of meireles' passes go to the opposition. he has his moments, and can hit a blinding ball, but he ust gives it away constantly. that being said, ive no idea who we would replace him with, so i guess we should keep him unless we sign someone better, but i dont think he should start. kalou? i think time to get rid, almost always makes the wrong or no decision and gives the ball away. i dont think hes good enough.

i dont think he will push mata out the team, because i think mata is better suited to the centre, behind the striker. kdb, marin and hazard (if we sign him) will be battling for the left and probably right wings. which is good, we need wingers. who is best, and best for chelsea, in the epl, in those roles? we cant say until we see them in a blue shirt i suppose. and yes, he should replace kalou and malouda, they need to go imo.

That's up to the manager to decide, after all i'm not there in training or pre season to judge. If we keep him here he needs regular football, simple.

i know, i know, but we've played him there recently. and he's been on fire, even though it isnt his natural role, and he should be in the first team. where would you play him? he's not a CDM and i think lampard still has what it takes in CM. and mata needs to play the 'david silva role' in CAM (even though hes better than silva). so what would you do with ramires?

Well in that case good, cant say ive seen much of him tbh but ive heard good things. By all means, we should keep him here if we're going to play him, but we dont want another lukaku situation where he barely plays.
