Yep, me too. My main hopes would be Begovic and Steven Pienaar (his conract expires this summer, so he won't cost a lot).

Fully agreed.

Yeah, but only for five of them!

Can imagine Sturridge/Kakuta and maybe McEachran starting, but no other youngsters. After back to back losses, it's important to get back to winning ways again and we should field a strong XI.

Why not? Impressive on Wednesday and Yom Kippur's done on Saturday, so he'll be able to play.

Hoping to see Kakuta get his first PL-start.

I think Benayoun will be given the nod if Lamps' injured. But I'm pretty sure he'll be fit for West Ham.

If Kalou can take charge? For now it's a no. He has potential and ability, but we can't rely on someone who's that inconsistant.

You haven't seen too much of Özil, have you? His work ethic is terrible. That midfield trio would force Lampard to take far more responsibility defensively than he's used to. Have to use Özil in a free role at the right wing in a 4-3-3, or at the tip of the diamond.

No doubt. Seems like the club has been a little lazy when it comes to sending players on loan. If they'd worked hard enough, I'm sure both Bertrand and Cork could've ended up in EPL clubs. Can't really see what a CCC-loan spell can offer other than week in, week out first-team football. They got enough experience on the level already.

Great!

Given that you spend so much time on making a mockery out of others grammar mistakes, how come you haven't learnt to start every sentence and write every I with a capital letter?

I think you should give Kakuta44 some time to get his rage out of his body before you let him in, BlueLion. Let him resonate about his behaviour, racism and why he was banned from the forum. If he's learnt his lesson, let him back in. If he does a similiar thing again, ban him on a permanent basis.

People need to understand that we can't replace players like Joe Cole, Belletti, Deco and Ballack with Kaka, Özil etc! What about showing some trust to the manager who guided our club to the most succesfull season history, eh? Let's wait until the transfer-window closes, and see who Ancelotti has brought to the club. Image he'll get Aguero and Özil next, then you might realise what a bunch of idiots many of you guys are, axing his head off because he strengthens our squad with a player who's familiar to the level, doesn't complain about not playing and came for a reasonable fee. There is more to come, I'm 100% sure. And the incoming players is bigger signing than this. Welcome to Chelsea Yossi Benayoun!

No chance. Özil got one year left in his contract.
