LDN Blue

I think Lahm is, not Ramos.

The formation that would make sense: Cech Bosingwa - Alex - Terry - Cole Essien - Mikel - Zhirkov Anelka - Drogba - Kalou Perhaps Kalou - Drogba - Malouda giving one or the other a break. I think Zhirkov deserves a start because I think with Ramires back for Wednesday, Zhirkov will be benched.

Carlo Ancelotti on Ashley Cole's Ballon d'Or snub

Hopefully Lampard will actually be back for Liverpool. I wish he was back for Wednesday, for match fitness if anything.

Wonder if J. Cole will play this one. But I have no doubt we'll beat them, looking at their current form anyway.

Hahaha Steve won't like that comment! (but I agree )

it's still defensive minded. But the new generation of players play more attacking, it's progressing very well now. AC Milan vs Juventus will be the game of the weekend for Serie A & it should be a very good one

LOL!! I did :goodpost: you!

I don't think we've shown any interest. It's probably his agent trying to pull a media stunt, try and get us to notice him.

Yeah same. We need to put out a very physically strong team, since Blackburn are one too. While Ivanovic is strong himself, Alex would be a better option (I hope he gives Diouf a right nightmare)

:goodpost: Thank you mods!! You guys are one of the biggest reasons TalkChelsea is the best Chelsea forum on the net! :cfc:

But now the question is Ivanovic or Alex?

Then we wait to get him on a free

Thank god for that

So apparently we're one of the clubs keeping tabs on Alves. My thoughts? No Thanks. Bosingwa is better.

Srna transfer heat picking up. ESPN Soccernet claim he's ready to move in January & The Daily Mail claim we'll get him cheap.

I'd love to see Bastian come to Chelsea. I don't it'll happen though, Real will probably get their claws in

Ferrer!! I remember him! He was a good servant for the club, kind of like Paulo. Good luck to him :chelsea2:. By the way, they're in action tonight vs PSV. Let's hope our loanees don't get a 10-0 hammering

While his attitude may stink you can't deny his footballing ability. He's an outstanding player, personally I'd welcome him at Chelsea but meh..

Yeah I know. But it's even more disgusting to see Dani Alvez there rather than Cole

I can't believe I didn't think of this earlier but why the hell is the World's best left-back not there? SURELY Ashley Cole deserves to be short listed at least? This article shares my views

With Essien, Mikel and Ramires our squad has plenty of depth. We do, however, lack players.

There's a 1st choice right-back reinstated then.

Yeah I was thinking, if Forlan's named player of the tournament in the World Cup, he must have an outside chance. But if you compare season-wise, Messi had a better over all year. Though Maicon impressed me a lot. Established as the best right back in the world, won the treble with Inter Milan & did well with Brazil (scoring that great/flukey goal)

Could be worse, they could've put Gerrard & Shrek on it.
