Well, Looking at the number of chances he has got ever since he joined us a month back, I dont think Chelsea is willing to retain him. The squad I mentioned is a squad of 24 players. Knowing our penchant for injuries over last 3 seasons, I am sure the entire squad can be used to play and we wont have wasted players who play in reserves while consuming fat pay packages.

Exactly, He is squad player he is a Uitility player. We dont need 24 Best players in Europe half of which would be playing in reserves or be sitting on bench while we pay them sky high salaries. The point Buck is making here is that Chelsea will look to cut down on salaries of these stars. Ballack(Free), Deco(4M), Drogba(13M), Miniero(1M), Malouda(8M), Ivanovic(12M). Keep Belleti. He can play anywhere. Keep Ferriera. He can be Cole's Back Up. Keep Hilario. He can be Cech's back up. Keep Alex. He can be Defense Back Up. Sell Drogba. He is 31 has 3 operations on his knee and even if he is in his best form, chances are that he might throw some tantrums next season and Sulk. We dont need that anymore. Buy Benzema as the Target Man., Buy Ribery as the Winger cus I dont think We will keep Quaresma. Buy Moutinho as the midfielder. Promote Jack Cork and Woods. Blood the youngesters. Strikers:Anelka, Benzema, Di Santo, Kalou Wingers: Stoch, Ribery, Joe Cole, Kalou can play there too. Midfield: Essien, Moutinho, Lampard, Mikel, Belleti, Woods Left Back: Ashley Cole, Ferriera Right Back: Mancienne, Boswinga. Center Back: Alex, Carvalho, JT, Mancienne, Jack Cork Goal Keeper: Cech, Hilario, Rhys Taylor. Thats a good Mix of Youngsters and Experienced Players. And the squad can be used over 4 tournaments. Just like Manchester United use their squads.

The Pitch was Pathetic. It was like an Ice Skating Floor. Good we got a goal and 3 points. Quaresma looks so good. Malouda had his best game for ages. Cech looks to be back to his best. Cech MoM for me.

Lol....I for one think, Belleti was put in the midfield as a defensive midfielder instead f Kalou. A common sub used even by Scolari.

With Ronaldinho and Messi in your team any team can be world beaters. I dont want rijkaard.

HeartBreak!!!... I hope he sticks to Inter and then moves to spain and then comes back to Chelsea after another 5 years. If he loves Chelsea so much he should come back to Chelsea and not their Rival club.

Why Ferrira. He is good for a back up left back. Sell Malouda for 8M. Add another 4 milion we will get Zirkov.

hahaha...be our guest.....

Rumours.

Zlatan? Zlatan plays for Inter....

You bet.....Essien is a Machine.

That was offside anyways. And whats the use of running around the field if you are not doing enough to win and keep balls. Headless chicken springs to my mind. I love Ballack, but for the sake of the club he needs to sit out. Essien to come in.

Well if you see the goal again. We had Beletti and Quaresma trying the block the kick. They were right infront of N'Zogbia but both missed the ball and the ball landed in the box. And we shouldnt be surprised considering Belleti is more attack minded and shit at defense. It is not like Belleti was late getting there. He was right infront but failed to block he shock. Nonetheless, the subsitution was Shocking. Manciene was a STONE there. Apart from that yellow card he did not allow ne crosses in the box. Ballack, Missed alot of 50-50 chances for the ball. He is a work horse but is giving the ball away and also is slow at getting to the ball. The team played well no doubt. But we need to learn to score from those chances. We could have scored 4 goals today.

Villa to get third. I always said, Liverpool will lose it once Champions League starts and thats what has happened. Aston Villa will take over as third and Liverpool to be 4th by the end.

Dont know why some Fans are abusing Hiddink for the goal we conceded. This, after asking Hiddink to bring Quaresma on. The move itself shocked me cus Mancienne was a rock at the RB. He wasnt allowing any crosses from the right wing. And Hiddink takes him off and gets Juliano and the very next moment they get a cross from Right flank into the box and they score. Why on earth do you want to replace your defenders when you are defending a goal in last 7 minutes. Bad move that was by Hiddink. Fortunately, Lampard scored. Ballack has a poor game. Drogba, Anelka need to finish their chances.

The players are growing old. By the time he comes most of them will leave the Bridge or will have retired. Would he then still want to come to Bridge to build another Imperious team at Chelsea? I doubt.

Something for Scolari to Ponder. Keeping Drogba on bench doesnt help. Not keeping Men on the posts dont help either. Cant imagine how many goals we conceded without having the man at the post. And today You get to see the importance of it.

I think we would have to pay another club instead...to take him from us

2 years back in the Semi's we were 1-0 up pver Liverpool to end up on the losing side in the Semifinals. So......

He has put on. He is such a lazy ass, I cant beleive we signed him for 13 million

We signed him for 11-12M.....Sell him for 17M. He is young , talented. I dont mind keeping him with us to be honest.

I wont pay a penny more than 30 million. But Id rather have Zlatan instead of Benzema.

I was going to start a Topic saying "Blessing in Disguise" but then I saw your Topic. I do think that it is a sort of Blessing in disguise. With Title a distant possibility, UCL and FA cup seem priority. Three months to go and our squad will be fresh. We will have Essien back, hopefully Joey Cole back by end of April, Drogba has started to play well, Carvalho will be back, Deco put in a good performance recently. We have Quaresma too. We can go for the Champion's league this year keeping the title as a lottery. Most of our full squad will be back and that excites me. Hiddink seems to have brought the belief back.

OK...now there you are wrong. Did your club go down because of the financial situation? ala Leeds United? NO. Did Gigi Buffon, Del Piero and Nedved get pay cuts? NO. Did your club need money? NO. That explains it. Had a leeds united situation risen, youwud not have had Del Piero buffon n nedved at your club. Also, When they got relegatedcus of the match fixing scandal and not financial crisis, Juve wud be nuts to put them on for sale. They needed their three best players to stay.

A season and a half left. Summer of 2010 he should be done. i am in two minds. Drogba is better than Torres when you compare both at their best. But the guy has loads of Attitude problem and he will be 31 now. I would like to see young hungry legs like Benzema or Aguero. Zlatan Would be Fucking Awsome.
