This is something I've been thinking about today, simply looking back to the late 90s which is the Chelsea I consider my Chelsea. If we could have signed one player in the late 90s I'd choose Ian Wright. I know we were in for him in 1996 but Wenger joined Arsenal and kept him there. But I think we could have signe him in 1998 when he went to West Ham. Now I know he didn't set the world a light there but he wasn't playing in a great team. I think he would have given us those extra goals we needed in 98/99 to go on and win the league.

Who would you pick? and why?

 
I'd pick Pavel Nedved. I'm sure he would've adapted to the Premier League quickly. He could've been in a Duracell commercial, because he just kept going. Very physical, yet very skillful.

 
I'd have signed David Elleray before the '94 cup final but those Bar Stewards at United got there just before us!

 
Edgar Davids long before he went to Spurs

 
Um, probably Zinedine Zidane or Ronaldo. Either one of those two ahead of a 30 year old Ian Wright.

Neither of those two would've been realistic targets. We never would've been able to afford them and they certainly wouldn't have come to England anyway.

Zidane was. Almost ended up at Blackburn and left Bordeaux for just £3 million. Even Ronaldo started off at Cruzeiro before going to PSV.

Let's dream a little. :laugh2:

 
Screw realism :biggrin:  The Brazilian Craig Charles.

What an amazing forward, On his day he would just kill defences for fun.

LeTissier would have been a success for us,if he'd had the bottle to come.

 
Unrealistically.. Ronaldo

Realistically.... Letissier

But in the early 90s gullit was my favourite player so kind of got my way in an old and slow version

 
A striker and we'd have won the league in '99. Ronaldo would have done.
