I hope we don't sign Cahill, we need CB's with pace and Cahill is not that.

He is a decent player, but definitely not the quality we should be signing if we want go back to our best. Stevan Jovetic and Hernanes are the few players worth considering in Seria A.

I want with Sturridge, i thought overall he was more consistent then Mata in this game. I would hold on the Romeu should play more talk, he was superb imo but lets remember this was against Wolves. I don't know what to make of this game, because i thought Wolves were just awful especially in the first half.

Cech Bosingwa Ivanovic Alex Bertrand McEachran Romeu Lampard Sturridge Torres Malouda

Tore has been a good signing for Hamburg, he is quite the dribbler and statistically i think only Messi has completed more successful dribbles.

Bruma did struggle when he arrived at Hamburg, and eventually lost his starting position. But he has fought back and earned his place back into the starting squad, the new manager seems very happy with him and Westermann as his CB pairing. He is playing very well right now, and his performance has helped Hamburg climb the table. it is good to see him mature and improve by the day. IMO he has been the most successful loan story so far. I am hopeful to see him in the rotation at Chelsea next season, by the end of the season he should have good amount of experience. I really like him in the AVB high line defense, he has good amount of pace and strength. He is the ball playing CB that is best suited to play in our current defense. I also think he has a good chance to push for the starting CB position with Holland and play in the Euros this summer.

I am not sure if we are watching the same games or what, but Lampard has been our best midfielder by far. In the Leverkusen game him along Sturridge had the most through balls, and put us in goal scoring positions. Ouf Mikel, Ramires, and Lampard; Lampard fits into AVB system the best. He makes quick passes and is always in a position to receive the ball. At a times when our midfield lacks creativity, it is mind baffling to suggest bench our most creative player. Mikel starting position is already in question, i am not fan of playing Meireles in the holding midfield position, which is why i think Romeu should get a chance. Also Ramires starting position should be questioned. People overlook his flaws, like his positioning and passing because he is hard working midfielder. I think at times it looks like we are playing without a midfielder, because he is out position and is not available for passes. The team play would benefit a lot more if we were to drop Ramires and play McEachran or Meireles.

Yeah that is a concern and also he is not really good in the air. So i do wonder at times if he is better suited on the wings or as a striker. But i think if he was a lone striker he would be more like a false 9, where he would drop back a lot and play to his strength. Kinda like a Messi role with Barca. So obviously he wouldn't be your conventional striker, and that may be a good thing.

I think Hazard has no preference for the wings or CAM, he is playing as a CAM because his team need him there. I hope we sign Hazard and move Sturridge in the center.

Yeah why is Cech even getting nominated, he should've saved the game winner. Cech has been excellent all season but yesterdays game was not one of them. On topic: Sturridge, one of his best games out wide. Before Sturridge can lead the line and be our starting Striker we need someone to replace him on the wings.

Krasic is average mostly, we can do a lot better then him. He is a upgrade over Malouda and Kalou, but that is not saying much.

Yes because Josh can run a three man midfield by himself. Just because we have Josh, that doesn't mean we don't need any other midfielders. Barca fans rate Sergi Roberto very highly, even higher then Romeu.

Cool story bro! Scolari inherited one of the most talented Chelsea squad ever, they were a penalty away from wining the ultimate prize in europe. This squad is the worst side in the Roman era.

We have a lot of average players and that is what sticks out the most. Yeah AVB has made some mistakes, but he had no fault in the two goals that was scored against us. He was definitely not Mikel who lost possession of the football which led to the first goal. Also the second goal happened on a simple long ball, Cole and Terry should have made a routine tackle. Fact is the players are not up to the standard where went to be. Players like Mikel, Ramires, Cole, Malouda, Drogba, Torres, and Terry are either past it or just not good enough for the level we want to be.

I agree Torres and higuain are very similar to each other, which is why i don't think he would succeed here. Benzema is the Madrid striker i think would best fit us.

Daniele De Rossi is a great player and playing great football this season., but seriously who would believe he is worth 70m? especially after the crap year he had last season.

After having brainless wingers like Malouda and Kalou for so many years, i would have to pass on Di Maria.

Di Maria is arguably Mourinho favorite player, he will always have a place on his squad. I am personally not a fan of Di Maria, he is talented but he is a headless chicken. And his consistant diving is absolutely embarrassing.

Kaka and Sneijder are CAM's, we have been playing 4-3-3 flat for a very long time and under AVB i don't think that is going to change. The reason why we went after Modric instead of Sneijder is because he was a CM and fitted our system more. AVB wants CM's not CAM's, he wants his midfielders to attack and defend.

Beside Josh, none of them can provide creativity.

He is Barca type midfielder, but you really think Barca would be interested in him? Barca are stacked at midfield, currently they have Xavi, Iniesta, Csec, Busquets, and Thiago. Thiago is the same age as Eriksen and arguably better. In Barca B they have have a great group of incoming midfielders, with Rafa Alcantara and Sergi Roberto. Rafa is considered a better prospect then his older brother, which is saying a lot.

LOL Benzema can play on the wing, he is a complete forward. I don't know how much have you seen of Benzema. And no Mourinho does not always play Ronaldo and Di Maria on the wings, he rotates his players. Seen Ozil, Higuain, Benzema and even Kaka at some point playing on the wings. Watch the second leg of the Spanish super cup against Barcelona, where Benzema was Real Madrid best player and most dangerous player on the left wing.

Cavani is similar to Torres in many ways, his situation would not be any different. Beside even though Cavani is on better form, i don't think there is a much difference between Cavani and Torres. lets not forget about Sturridge, he can also play as a striker. On Lukaku, i was against his signing from the beginning and so far it seems like i was right. So i agree with you on this. I don't rate Hamsik that highly, he dispears too much in Napoli big games. Cavani was great last season, but lets see what he does this season. Lavezzi is the Napoli player i rate highly, he was by far their most important player when they finished 3rd.

It is insane how many renowned strikers we have had since Roman arrived.
