I think we should go back to what we know , we need the three ponits more than to show off our 50 million pound signing. so i would go with Cech Ivan Luiz Terry Ash Essien Ramires Lampard Anelka Drogba FloMo i know it wount happen , but torres needs time , we cant expect him to come to a new team who play diffrenly and work. Its a must win game with spuds up our arses and the way sunderland are playing at the moment they will roll over for them.

I don't mean to be pessimistic but torres is not the answer to our ageing squad we could of spent 50 million on 3 hungry young players who would fight for the team as it would be there big chance. Yes it would be more of a risk as there unproven but you would always get 100 % effort. Today they just didn't seem botherd not like the Sunderland game. Even when we were one nil down the was no urgency. This is the medias wet dream they will be on about this for weeks even if Liverpool lose to wigan. It's gonna be a tough battle for fourth and I really hope we make it.

It was great to see Danny get a goal on his debut , it will give him bags of confidence. I just hope we keep hold of him his got the potential to be a sucess in this divison.

3 points is the main thing here , any thing else is a bonus. Liverpool will be fired up especially after losing their star man. i would take a scrappy 1-0....

Totally agree the Sun make up stories to get sales , so i wouldnt worry about it too much. Though that being said i can see yuri going at the end of the season , and im unsure about Drogba i still think he has more to give but i feel we may have seen the last of him this season.

Im actually more excited about this signing than torres , as this guy is going to be the backbone of the team for years and we have missed a CB with pace for sure.

I think Carlo will Stick to Bossy - Ivan - Terry - Cole i cant see Luiz being put in a game as big as this with only two days training with his new team mates. We all know Carlo dosent like to make radical changes so i see Luiz being on the bench.

1. Top 3 Finnish - i Think the league has gone now , even if we beat united home and away i still dont see it arsenal would end up nicking it and we would have given arsenal the title - though we still have city to play so i think we should aim to finnish 3rd anything else is a bonus. 2. FA Cup - This should be a realistic aim for us , though after watching our performace against Everton we really need to step up and with Utd , arse , and city still in the compertition it wont be easy. 3. The CL - The comperttion everyone wants at the club and out we have been so unlcuky for so many years not to win the damn thing. so obviously a CL final at least would be great , but if im honest spuds will most likely end up winning it with a goal off bales backside as thats the luck of the cl for us. So in Summary i think top 3 finnish and the FA cup and maybe a CL / semi or final I think next season we will win the league again.

What a day ! Though anybody else feel a bit about it all ? we have to go from not liking the guy to suddenly singing his praises , its a great transfer and he is a great player i just need time to adjust to the idea of him. A few goals against the dippers should help though

To be honest I’m fed up of Chelsea Fans wanting Roman out , yes he has made some bad decisions along the way , but imagine if he haven’t brought the club? where would we be now , there would certainly be no Jose mourinho back to back titles or carol’s double i think there is to much focus of what’s going on up stairs the players are what we need to look at and they need to buck there ideas up i hope roman is here to stay

Ive read his autobiography and he was pretty much forced to leave it seems, the 24 million that Marseille got for him was what pushed him out Drogba wanted to stay but Marseille wanted the 24 million. But this is old anyway , Drogba now loves us

Good news , lets hope he dosent aggrevate the injury further though.

Back to old school football score more than they opposition i was reading jimmy greaves autobiography and when he played for Chelsea they never really botherd with defence in them days so maybe we such switch to 1-5-5

I think the simple answer is yes , if it called for it i would much rather see obi there rather than paulo , but only if either Bruma or ivan could not play. We have Ramiers who is a DM normally for brazil so he could fill in , but i see these options as a last term messsure.

Its all if's and buts at the moment , if we beat bham arse slip up at spuds and manure drop points against wigan we will be saying where going to win the league again to be honest it all looks doom and gloom atm but lets wait and see what happens saturday and if we are knocked off the top , we can start to worry im sure Carlo knows how to deal with the situation we need to have a little faith and get behind the team but Carlo please dont play paulo at centre back , even mickel would do a better job!

I guess this is a time for CA to motivate the team get Bruma confident of taking on Premier League opposition , the main worry is not playing bruma as a CB as he has had a full cap for holland so they must rate him its more if ivan gets another yellow against bham.

Could we bring back Mancienne he has at least got PL experience

The problem was never letting Riccy go it was not replacing him!

Really shocked at this, came from nothing , there must be more to this that just a contract dispute , thanks for everything Ray.

If he losses to utd tonight , i cant seem him there for much longer and isnt this about the thrid time he has said somthing like this ?

Hoping we Stuff them need to bounce back quick and shut those critics up!

A Few years back there was alot of hype about him , it seems to have fizzled out since his injury issues at bayern , so i think we ought to stay away.

Think we will see yossi start then after he impressed wednesday night , maybe ramiers will get some time in the second half. lets hope lamps is back for the game against city.

Looks like Robinho has been teaching this lad a few things , if he carrys on like this only the likes of city will be interested in him.

Not good news lets hope its not true or we may never see hilario playing again.
