Who, out of this current Chelsea squad, would go down as a "legend" for you? We all know "legend" is possibly the most overused word in football (apart from maybe 'flop' or 'disgrace') but who would you describe as a legend if they were to retire now? There are a couple of obvious ones of course.

Cech, Terry and Lampard are certainly going to retire as legends of Chelsea. There are 1 or 2 that could also be added but i am not 100% sure on them just yet.

 
Legends means different things to different people. Cech, Terry, Lamps are undisputed legends for all they've done over the years.

There's another tier of legends for me, for guys who stood up to the plate in the very biggest of occasions and will be forever remembered for it

Ramires - That chip in Barcelona

Torres - that goal in Barcelona

Ivan - the goal that brought us life in the champions league

Ivan and and that goal in the champions league turned everything on its head. plus his winning header in the Europa . In my mind he will be a Chelsea legend , still has a lot to prove

 
Currently for me it would be Lampard, Terry and Cech. I think Brana will be remembered as a great but im not sure he will be talked about with the likes of Zola and Osgood etc. As for the others im not sure about any of them yet. I think Cahill might get there also. I would have said Luiz but i dont think he will be with us long enough to reach that level.

 
Terry Lampard Cech no question. They have even achieved it whilst still playing for us.

In addition to those already mentioned, Ashley Cole. Really took his game to the next level with us and became the best left back on the planet for a while. Absolutely brilliant player.

 
If he continues the way he has played for at least another four seasons, I think Mata's name will be said in the same breath as Zola.

 
Torres will be remembered alright but not in the same way as Zola, Osgood, Wise are or Lampard will be.

He will be remembered with the likes of Sutton or Del Horno. Total and utter flops.

Don't remember Sutton or Del Horno scoring in the Nou Camp for us...or in the Europa League Final.

Don't mind Uno.... He's just another one of the (many) Torres-haters on here.

So Torres scores a couple of goals and he is a hero in your eyes? You must be blinkered to the rest of the time he is utter crap then.

For me it takes more than one or two goals to make a player a legend.

Not at all, mate. I just don't think he should be compared with Sutton. There have been far worse strikers at Chelsea than Torres. I see your point about scoring more than one or two goals though.

 
I like your calm reply so why i ask this i mean it with all due respect. Who is worse than Torres?

In my opinion even Sheva and Crespo were better than Torres.
