To add to my point, I would like to see Huntelaar here but Falcao would come first.

What if A Cole doesn't WANT to sign? I would definitely keep A Cole if he wanted to stay and sign a contract but as I am sure you know, we are only offering 1 year contract's to players over 30. If he doesn't want to sign that then he will go. You need to accept that. Baines, 27, over 320 games, very similar to Cole, I doubt he would demand the same wage as A Cole (financial sense) so I can't see a reason why we shouldn't go in for him in January. He would be able to play in europe. Huntelaar, could cost something like £6/7 Million, if he was to score goals, even if they are just in the prem, if we was to win the prem (with his goals) we would get at least £16 Million (2009/2010 figures) 15 million for second, 14million for third and 13 million for fourth. (Financial sence).

Felliani offers more of an attacking threat, and would be great defending corners and set pieces etc. There is nothing wrong with having different options in a team. All top clubs do. Felliani is a totally different player to KBD, McEachran, Mikel, Ramiers......... Baines can't dislodge Cole because Cole is the best LB in the world IMO but with the policy at Chelsea about over 30's Cole I don't think Cole would extend his contract. Baines is experienced with over 320 games under his belt at Premier Legue level and is 27, we would easily get 3 years out of him before the policy would allow him to leave. Huntelaar is cup tied this season, I know, but his attacking threat in the Prem and then Champions League next season would be fantastic, for something between £5 and 10 Million pounds, it is a bargin. I agree we have the attacking players you listed but again, each player adds something different.

Hi, Here is my Chelsea wishlist for January 2013 and Summer 2013. The players listed are realistic and I have added some points on why I feel they would be good additions to the team. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Leighton Baines - With Ashley Cole set to leave Chelsea in January or next summer, we need a quality left back. Bertrand is good but I don't think we can rely on him to play 50+ games a season. He is still young and learning. He is the next Ashley Cole but maybe in 1 or 2 years time. In the mean time I think we should buy Leighton Baines who poses a similar attacking threat to Ashley Cole and is great defensively. He has a good free kick on him and is home grown. Like for Like replacement in my opinion. Ramadel Falcan - Torres isn't good enough, we desperately need a replacement who can score with every opportunity given to him. Remember Man U away last year and Torres misses? Falcao would have scored. Torres has put 100% in but it just hasn't been enough. Falcao would cost a lot but quality does. With Hazard, Mata and Oscar (possibly Marin) behind Falcao, we would be scoring for fun! Marouane Felliani - Felliani would be ideal in our midfield in my opinion, he is 6ft 4", sitting in front of the back for heading any goal kicks, free kicks or whatever back up towards the front 4, meaning the back 4 have to do very little and the full backs can then get forward and help attack with the 2 CB's sitting back with Mikel. Felliani is also a very good attacking threat in the box from corners, free kicks or crosses and can also finish with his feet. The all round package IMO. Expensive again but worth it. Klass-Jan Huntelaar - He is 29 but he knows where the net is and is available for very little money. Even if we signed him for 2 years, it gives us a back up striker who has scored in numerous leagues whilst Neymar develops and adapts to the prem (see my next suggestion). IMO he is way better than Torres and Sturridge. Neymar - He is one of the worlds hottest prospects, he has shown he can score in Brazil and now I think it is time we move for him. He has pace, creativity and an eye for goal. I think he would take a year or two in the prem to fully adapt but that's why I would have Huntelaar. In 2 years he and Falcao could be the worlds most feared strikers. Fraser Forster - He has great for Celtic this season, and not just against Barca, he makes some fantastic saves in the SPL (I know the quality isn't great but still, he has ability) and I think he would be a better option than Turnbull. Next season we could have Cech, Courtois and Forster as our GK's instead of Hilario and Turnbull. He is also home grown. Thomas Ince - He is a 20 year old winger playing for Blackpool, he has shown great ability in the Championship and I think we should take a look at him. He has pace, accuracy and an eye for goal. He is under 21 so wouldn't need to be registered and is home grown. If we did get him, I would to see him sent to a low end prem team such as Wigan. Mats Hummels - We are in need of a new CB, with Terry coming to the end of his playing career, we then only have Cahill, Luiz and Ivanovic. Luiz is too attacking minded, Cahill is very good if he has a good partner, hence why he tends to play well with Terry but not with Luiz. Mats Hummels has played over 175 games in his short career so far at only 23! He is tall, dominant in the air and would be ideal for us alongside Cahill. He would cost a lot as well but as I have said before, quality comes at an expense. All of these suggestions could and would come to us IMO if we act quick enough. They all replace members of our current squad. So the squad wouldn't be too big but it would be filled with quality. Think of this as a potential line up: Cech Azpilicueta Cahill Hummels Baines Felliani Mikel Oscar Mata Hazard Falcao Or: Cech Ivanovic Cahill Hummels Felliani Mikel Oscar Mata Hazard Falcao Huntelaar/Neymar What do you think?
