Well thats the thing, we don't know how much he has actually said or how accurately it has been translated. Drogba has been immense and everyone would like to keep him. But no-one wants a player that does not want to be here and is desperate to get away.

You do feel that something will have to be done one way or the other very soon. The club certainly havn't said one way or the other how it is going to go, but with all the big clubs either expanding or moving to new bigger grounds we need to be able to compete. Mainly to help bring in more cash.

The Drogba situation is a pain in the ass. No-one should be bigger than the club and sometimes you feel Didier sees himself as the big man in the team. So much has been said from him and about him this season that it will be a relief when it is all over with. We can sign Strikers who can have a similar impact to what Drogba does and Anelka may just be that man.

Well it is certainly a realistic possibility as there doesn't seem to have been a lot to be done with the current site. Although the main problem with relocating is where do we go, not exactly tons of sites for us to choose from.

There has been a lot of talk lately about being able to develop on the current site. So not sure if they have managed to get around the problems somehow.... Would be nice to have a plan in motion though because to move on to being a bigger club we need a bigger stadium.

Who Pizarro? Are you mad!!! Anelka offered more in 30 minutes than Pizarro has all season....

What a valuable service you are providing for our young fans i must say. Many of whom have no idea of our colourful history and now have the chance to learn all the facts thanks to you..... **cough**

Lol, no problem. But if he doesn't play, don't blame me Should be a good game and will be able to give a view of how we can cope without the Africa players. Having Lamps back as well as the return of Malouda and the signing of Anelka are crucial at this point in the season for us.

I am assuming so as it was said he was a possible for the Spuds game and it has been a whole week since then.

no, but because of that fateful day it has been used to great effect on many women whos partners are Chelsea fans.....

Lol, what a fantasic history lesson this is.....

A lot of Chelsea fans have a blind spot for Bridge because of his goal against the goons. Bridge is a quality player no doubt about it, but we have it worked perfectly that Bridge plays when the threat isn't as strong so he can bomb forward. Against a decent oponent Bridge tends to get mugged, i would every time prefer to have Cole playing against the likes of Ronaldo...

Would much rather have someone taylor made for that position who are truly world class like Iniesta, Van Der Vaart, Modric, Dos Santos ect.....

I would sell him in the summer to be honest, at the end of the day we can get and need a better winger than him. And as good as he is in the Attacking midfield role (and he is quality there) we can again get better who are a natural in that position. Our winger situation needs improving in the summer with 1 World Class winger and unfortunately SWP would be the one to make way because Cole, Kalou and Malouda all offer a lot more than SWP in the wings.

Both are top quality left backs and we are lucky to have them both for Chelsea and for England. The simple fact is that for England Ashley Cole will start every game if fit, and Cole will also play the bigger games for Chelsea. This is because Cole is the better player without doubt, a far superior defender than Bridge. Whereas Bridge is much better in attack situations but is likely to get caught out against decent opposition. Everybody loves Bridge for obvious reasons but Cole is the better player.

No we wouldn't sell SWP now! Mainly because we would never be able to sign a top quality replacement in the short time left in the window.

Well aparently he has been given a blank Cheque book to create a dream team in the next 3 years. The papers are also claiming that he has targeted Defoe and Wright-Phillips as his first targets.

He looks a class player. But he hasn't played at the first team level much yet even for the club he is leaving, so there is a lot for him to learn, but having the skills is the one thing you can't learn and he seems to have that in bucket loads.

I would be suprised if he were to make appearances for the reserves. He is 18 and regarded as a quality player. Would be a bit more like Mikel last season with a few sub appearance and starts for the season.

He won't feature too much for us this season i wouldn't have thought, but to be able to spend the rest of the season learning is great for him.

Lol, point taken Still think Huntelaar is a quality player.

He don't half bang the bloody goals in though.....

I guess the logic was Ballack and Shevchenko in means that we have 2 supposedly better players for the positions he played in for us.

Just when you thought they couldn't come up with any more ridiculous ideas

Ridiculous, you never see other clubs get fined for this but it happens to us on an almost weekly basis, the FA is so corrupt its a joke.
