i wish we had all the players who are on our books. e.g Mata,Oscar,Sturridge,Bertrand,Oriol none of them have been with us for pre-season. i agree also tho .it would have been useful to have all the players we want to sign under contract now and training with us. for the long term tho we are doing the right thing by not just caving in to the silly prices teams put on their players when we want them.we have a reputation for being mugs in the transfer market but i think we are working hard to change that reputation.

*tempted to move my vote for Hutcho over to myself to make it a 3 way ..*

Robert Lewandowski for me...even tho the thought of the last Robert we had upfront still haunts me.

did Alex go to brighton or does he have lunch with Henry VIII..?

he`s made thousands..

first game of the summer where i even have the slightest care for how well we play. although essentially it`s still a game to further boost our match fitness and sharpness. i`d still rather us go into the 60plus game season undercooked than overcooked tho. hoping for no major injuries above anything else.

welcome aboard deano. think you may have posted this on the wrong thread mate,this is a thread intented to ask opinions on who will come and who will leave in this transfer window after the Oscar signing. anyway,no harm done. ktbffh

don`t worry mate he`s here for years to come. the coaches,his team mates and punters through the turnstiles are happy with him. there`s no reason for him not to be one of the first names on the team sheet. after Cech he`s the player we would most miss if he had a long term injury.

yeah it`s nice just to have a mention,votes.. first time i`ve even had a mention as far as i`m aware of..although i`m much more active during the summer than the season.

do we get a silver and bronze medal as it`s the olympics this month? i`m clutching at straws i know because Jim looks to have taken quite a big lead..with 4 votes ahead of the peloton.

with the after his name in the title i thought the guy died or had cancer or something. great attacking LB. more of a wingback really. i`d say there`s been better LB`s but he`s been the best wingback. certainly in my lifetime. like Ryan said. that goal against France will always be remembered.

can`t wait to get stuck into Tottenham in the upcoming season..with or without Modric..aslong as AVB uses his highline on us keep dinking passes over them into space and watch Ramires leave them in the dust.

welcome aboard mate. glad you went for the proper Chelsea lion,instead of the Millwall lion tattoo. it don`t bother me who you support in rounders.. :blue scalf:

Quality article as usual Alex. especially the trip down memory lane..even if we don`t share the same opinion on whatever topic. it`s so much better than reading half hearted remarks with nothing offered to back up the opinion shared. It`s not ludicrous to keep Malouda but with Hazard and Marin i presume the 1-2 at LW/LM and others capable of playing there . where does he fit in? i`ve never been a boo bird atleast not against our own. i`ve called Klinsmann a diving nazi cunt (i know not all germans were Nazi`s but when he`s dived for a pen or whatever against us,ya know..we do come from cavemen) but not our own players..never even called Darren Wood "Sharon" when many used to. but i am a bit mean to Flo mo online i guess. most of that has been from the club supposedly wanting to sell him and his seemingly unwillingness to be sold which appeared to be over salary. also i don`t think we should keep a player for his experience when his talent has waned to a level where he`s third choice at best.the same i think about Ferreira. because although there`s young players at those positions they are experienced enough. both Marin and Hazard have enough experience..if we was talking CB then yeah the safety valve of a veteran would come in handy but not so much for the LW/LM position. i believe even with Malouda and Ferreira gone we would still have ample experience where it matters. if Malouda could play multiple positions and perform decently there then great he`d be worth keeping but not just as third choice LW/LM. having said all that..it`s not in our control so all we can do is hope whatever is the best for Cfc happens. and cheer the team on from the stands .

as i said earlier in the thread. if he had to go on loan it`s probably the best possible place for him. he should be able to get in the team but they are still a competitive team in a good competitve league. if he had gone to a lower level EPL team that`s fighting to stay up he may not have been used right if atall down the stretch. i feel good about this loan. good luck KDB

you must have Jedi powers too Hutcho... will Modric ever leave the slums of Tottenham...hope he doesn`t end up at Man U. now that would make more sense than Lucas going there.

Witsel i think would make more sense for Madrid. even tho i think Modric is a better player. if that makes sense..

welcome aboard Luci. Super Dan my favorite Chelsea RB of all time. and i`ve seen quite a few over the last 30 years. i miss him not being our RB but love Branislav so it`s not as bad as it used to be.

i think if i was a veteran goalkeeper who had played my share of career games then i`d be interested in coming to be Cech`s number 2. i`d think along the lines of one injury or suspension and i could play in the European Cup final,Fa Cup final etc.. there are lots of good goalkeepers in Germany at clubs who aren`t able to compete with Dortmund and Bayern.the whole country is like one big factory for good goalkeepers. that would be my first place to look for one. i voted yes in the poll by the way if you hadn`t guessed.. give Turnbull`s place to Walker/Blackmon filling the homegrown place vacated by turnbull. then sign a new experienced goalkeeper to replace Hilario.

I`ll go for Pizy. fits the criteria i had laid out earlier in this thread. and i think the members who haven`t got thousands and thousands of posts could do with a lil encouragement to post some more when they are members who have some good points to make.

a cheeky bid that didn`t pay off. hope we come back with a more realistic offer . OM are obviously desperate for money but for them it`s best to have a poker face about it. i suspect if we come in with an offer of £8m, take it or leave it...they would fold.

I don`t think Oscar and Hazard are taking the places of players better than them.so no problem with those kind of signings. i think it`s when we keep players like Malouda,Kalou,Ferreira etc around that we are doing wrong by our youngsters. i have no problem making signings that are gonna stunt the growth of some of our youth players ,not all of them are gonna make it anyway,but we should only do that by buying/keeping and playing better players ahead of them..we have more than enough experience in our squad without the likes of those players who are getting on the bench when we could be blooding in our youngsters instead.

we`ve certainly come a long way from the days of Bai Lin Tea and Grange Farm etc..as our shirt sponsors.

cheers Mr Vogel. i`m gonna have to get tactical when i cast my vote if this continues.

'@Hutcho_CFC... Major Allen did say "if it was up to me i`d give you the Victoria cross but they are supposed to be our allies now, so i have to deduct points." the regiments mine were up against were a cut above my own.had to go in competition with the Paras,Grenadier Guards,Duke of Edinburgh`s etc... i was just a private in the RLC at the time and the only one in my regiment who had got in the final. wanting to do my regiment proud i went on the bold offensive and it went a bit wrong..
