Posted November 18, 20195 yr Credit where its due - topic copied from my other forum . "cfcnet" Since I am extremely bored. would love to hear the forum's thoughts on the below 5 questions.. First Chelsea Hero: Super Frank Lampard Club Signing That Excited You The Most: Ballack.. to think we had signed up a midfield of Essien, SFL and Ballack.. best in the world football IMO at the time Opposition Player You Wish Chelsea Signed: While CR7 would be obvious but he was a bit of unkown for me at the time.. the two players we were linked with but never really signed and had me wishing were Dani Alves and Tevez.. hard to separate the two but I believe Dani Alves would have won us at least one more UCl Favourite Chelsea Goal: has to be one between Ramires vs Barca, Droba vs Munich or SFL vs Pool with an honorble mentions for Demba Ba vs Pool and Hazard vs Spurs for 2-2 /Hazard vs Arsenal last season at the bridge.. Fav XI: Cech Azpi Terry Desailly Cole Essien Lamps Kante Robben Hazard Drogba
November 18, 20195 yr First Chelsea hero: Tough one as I've never really been one for hero worshipping but I was always moulding my game like Zola on the school pitch so I guess him. Most exciting signing: Crespo, was one of my favourite players and his signing for me was a massive statement of intent. Player I wish we signed: Aguero, will always be the one that got away in my eyes. Favourite Chelsea goal: far too many variables to pick one out. Fav XL: I'm going to cheat a bit and go for a team, our 05/06 side, for the first few months they were playing out a FIFA career mode save, it was insane how easy they were finding it.
November 18, 20195 yr First Chelsea Hero: Lampard/Drogba - Too hard to pick between them for me Club Signing That Excited You The Most: Shevchenko.... I remember seeing him at Milan and he was unreal and one of the best players in the world, won the ballon d'or in 04 and I thought we were still signing the same guy, but sadly he was way past it when we bought him (despite still scoring some brilliant goals here and there) Opposition Player You Wish Chelsea Signed: Based on the recent news that JT voted against signing, it would have been Aguero. Guy is just a goal machine, and I'm sure he would have helped us towards a couple more league titles and maybe even an extra UCL. Favourite Chelsea Goal: Literally too many to think of, but that Drogba header against Bayern.... Talking from a pure goal perspective, that Schurrle goal with the Cesc assist was pretty sublime from a teamwork point of view, peak Jose. Fav XI: Cech, Cole, Terry, Carvalho, Azpi, Kante, Makalele, Lampard, Hazard, Drogba, Robben Subs: Cudicini, Duff, Desailly, Cesc, Costa, Ivanovic, Essien, Gudjohnson

This was the season we were wining 2-0 against ATM and out of nowhere he scored twice to make it 2-2.. what a signing he has been for City.. Always scores against us like Torres..
November 18, 20195 yr First Chelsea hero : The King of Stamford Bridge Club signing that excited you most : Zola Opposition player you wish Chelsea signed : Cristiano Ronaldo Favorite Chelsea Goal : Roberto Di Metteo vs Middlesbrough FA cup final, won the first major trophy in my lifetime ( I wa s too young to remember the Leeds cup final ) Favorite all time Xi (tough, ask me tomorrow it might change but at the time of writiing) : Cech, Super Dan, Terry, Desailly, A Cole, Makelele, Lampard, Wise, Robben, Zola, Osgood.
November 18, 20195 yr First Chelsea Hero: Kerry Dixon Club Signing That Excited You The Most: Zola Opposition Player You Wish Chelsea Signed: Gascoigne Favourite Chelsea Goal: Essien v Arsenal Fav XI: Cech Ivanovic Terry Gallas Cole Makelele Gullit Lamps Robben Hazard Drogba
November 18, 20195 yr First Chelsea Hero: John Spencer Club Signing That Excited You The Most: Gullit then Vialli Opposition Player You Wish Chelsea Signed: Ronalidinho Favourite Chelsea Goal: Drogba pen, Munich, 2012 Fav XI: Cech Super Dan, Terry, Desailly, A Cole Makelele Essien Lampard Robben Hazard Drogba Bench: Robbie D, Dennis Wise, Zola, Gudjohnsen, Crespo, Cudicini, Percy
November 18, 20195 yr First Chelsea Hero: Marcel Desailly/Branislav Ivanovi?. Hard players that I loved watching, needed to include both. Club Signing That Excited You The Most: Claude Makélélé. Many consider the downfall of the first Galacticos Real Madrid due to him leaving. Opposition Player You Wish Chelsea Signed: Adriano. The Brazilian was such a beast in Inter Milan back in the day, and later he got into some hard depression, but a really amazing player. I wish the club had signed him before the depression, maybe he would have been fine and he and Drogba at their prime could have been simply the most iconic attacking duo. Favourite Chelsea Goal: There are many goals that I find important, but the one that can define the club and for me personally a story where good wins over evil is the Torres goal vs Barcelona, it's a biased way to see it but that's how I see it. Fav XI: Cech Ivanovic Terry Desailly A.Cole Makélélé Kante Lampard Joe Cole Gudjohnsen Drogba
November 18, 20195 yr First Chelsea Hero: Oh Jimmy Jimmy! Club Signing That Excited You The Most: Crespo Opposition Player You Wish Chelsea Signed: Matthew Le Tissier Favourite Chelsea Goal: Super Frank penalty against Liverpool after his mum had died, just for the pure emotion involved. Fav XI: Cech Brana Lebouef JT Le Saux Makelele Wise Lamps Joe Cole Eidur Jimmy Picked entirely on sentiment in that classic Ranieri diamond formation! If anything there’s goals there!
November 19, 20195 yr First Chelsea Hero: Charlie Cooke Club Signing That Excited You The Most: 1) Makelele 2) Pulisic Opposition Player You Wish Chelsea Signed: For players in England Van Persie Favourite Chelsea Goal: Fabregas to Schurrle, https://youtu.be/UOI5sDZbvsI Fav XI: Cech R James Terry Cole Makelele Kante Cooke Fabregas Lamps Hazard Drogba
November 19, 20195 yr First Chelsea Hero : Ray Wilkins. Had his posters plastered all over my bedroom wall when I was a boy, mostly clipped out of Shoot! magazines. Actually met him a year before he died at a vintage golf tournament at the Buckinghamshire Club. Never been so tongue-tied in my life ! Club Signing that excited you the most : Kezman. I thought he was going to be Van Nistelrooy Mk II after his exploits at PSV ... LOL at how it turned out. Opposition Player you wish Chelsea Signed : Ruud Van Nistelrooy, with an honourable mention for Sergio Aguero. Favourite Chelsea Goal : Tiago. That goal against Manchester United, not only for the quality of the strike from such an unexpected source, but also for the touchline reaction from Jose Mourinho. Fav XI: We've had some amazing sides, particularly in the Roman era, and I could easily vote for the current team as well, but I'm going to go with Eddie McCreadie's promotion winning side of 1976/77 that ignited my boyhood Chelsea fandom ... Bonetti, Locke, Hay, Wicks, G.Wilkins ; Britton, R.Wilkins, Stanley, Lewington ; Swain, Finnieston,
November 19, 20195 yr First Chelsea Hero: Cudicini. The sole reason i decided to be a goalkeeper when I played football. Club Signing That Excited You The Most: Fabregas and Costa. (Around the same sort of time and were both huge statement signings) Opposition Player You Wish Chelsea Signed: Aguero Favourite Chelsea Goal: The obvious choices have all been said (Drogs v Munich, Torres/ Ramires v Barcelona) So i am going to go for a bit of an outlier. Drogba's goal against Spurs in the FA Cup semi final in 2012 when we beat them 5-1. That goal personified everything Drogba was about. Pace, power and strength. And plus it was an absolute worldie and he mugged Gallas off in the process of scoring it. Fav XI: Cech (Cudicini a close second) Azpi Terry Carvalho A. Cole Lamps Makelele Essien Robben Drogba Hazard

Always scores against us like Torres.. Without a doubt, the guy just scores goals. The only issue I have with them is his glass body as hes very injury prone. The reason City have even been this successful in the past few years is mainly because of Aguero. If they never signed him, they wouldn't be anywhere near the level they are at now.
November 19, 20195 yr First Chelsea Hero: Branislav Ivanovic, rock in defence and terrorised opposition fullbacks. Was the reason I changed my outlook on how good a FB can be. Club Signing That Excited You The Most: Michael Essien. Beat Utd to the punch and was a beast of a midfielder. Opposition Player You Wish Chelsea Signed: Sergio Ramos during my teen years, Lewandowski back when he was first breaking through with Dortmund. Favourite Chelsea Goal: Torres against Barca, Matic FA Cup screamer vs Spuds, Alex against Pool and Drogba Vs Munich. Fav XI: Cech, Cole, Terry, Carvalho, Ivanovic, Kante, Essien, Lampard, Hazard, Drogba, Robben Honorable mentions: Azpi, Makalele, Zola, Ballack, Fabregas Edited November 19, 20195 yr by Deino
November 19, 20195 yr First Chelsea Hero: Kerry Dixon, the focal point for the opposition fan's hatred yet always seemed to deliver. Club Signing That Excited You The Most: Andy Townsend Opposition Player You Wish Chelsea Signed: Stuart Pearce the best LB for me yet in later times we got the best in Ashley Cole. Favourite Chelsea Goal: Wayne Bridge in scoring the winner against Arsenal in the CL and also getting Ranieri's first win against Arsenal, the tide was turning in more ways than one! Favourite XI: Cech Ivanovich Cavalho Terry Cole Essien Lampard Makelele Gudjohnsen Drogba Robben
November 19, 20195 yr First Chelsea Hero: SFL. Absolute legend and an example on and off the pitch. I decided he was my favourite footballer back in 2002 and so glad I picked well! Club Signing That Excited You The Most: Torres. We all know how it turned out, but I thought it would be the signing which would win us the league that year... Opposition Player You Wish Chelsea Signed: Lewandowski. For years I've been dreaming he would come to us in the PL and win it all. He's a goalscoring machine Favourite Chelsea Goal: Alex Freekick against Arsenal. Also, Kante this season against the scousers. Both in the top left corner and I sit in the MHL behind that corner. You just knew they were going in. Fav XI Cech, Cole, Carvalho, Terry, Azpi, Essien, Kante, Lampard, Hazard, Drogba, Hasselbaink
November 19, 20195 yr First Chelsea Hero: Dennis Wise Signing that excited me the most: Gullit Opposition player that i wished we had signed: Henry Best Goal: Wayne Bridge against Arsenal Best 11: Cech Dave, Carvallho, Terry, Cole, Kante Makelele J Cole Lampard Hazard Drogba
