LDN Blue

We'll have an edge on offering him better wages, that's for sure.

Good point. Then again, remember, there will be a bidding war between ourselves, Tottenham & perhaps Arsenal.

Idealistic. But unrealistic. Will cost around £15m-£20million.

Sounds very, very, promising then! Signed.

Love the optimism. But I predict we'll spend quite a bit between now and then on new players.. Maybe 5/11 of those you named will make it.

Ferguson: Chelsea a "big threat" http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2011/sep/04/sir-alex-ferguson-chelsea-manchester-united Mind games.

Co-sign.

What exactly will this bill do though?

Meireles to fill a void left by Ballack http://onefootinthegame.com/2011/09/04/new-role-for-raul-from-liverpool-to-chelsea/

McEachran departs u21 squad

Walcott backs Lampard Good to see the kid's not as dim as he looks.

Ah. Meh, he's a young footballer. They go through celeb women quicker than Ashley Cole loses Cheryl

Who's Brooke?

It's clear he doesn't trust the wide men. Thankfully he's yet to play a full game with Sturridge & Mata, so hopefully they'll form a good trio. Because clearly Torres, Malouda & Anelka/Kalou does not work.

There's nothing good about the EDL. Even if there was a the slightest hint of "good", the "bad" almost crushes all of that.

Because he doesn't pick players on their names. Good on him.

Yep. And that fills me with a lot of optimism.. Hopefully there's a new crop of English talent we'll have coming up in a few years though.

Exactly what I was going to say. I want this season to be one where we build a solid foundation for a future Chelsea which will be much stronger than the Manchesters. We all got blinded when Carlo won the league with us, let's not make the mistake in reverse this time..

I don't think we'll win the title. But we will push, whoever does, all the way.

Yeah, at least Capello didn't Beckham him by announcing he'd have no England future, in an ITV interview

Too early to ask such a question. Though people shouldn't be so quick to dismiss Welbeck's quality.

No Redknapp please

Fuck Kalou.

Ah how could I forget. Another nomination for Lionsden from myself!

Agreed. This only highlights a major flaw at this club..
