I'm watching it on the tv. I'll let you know of any major incidents.

Anelka, Drogba, Shevchenko, Joe Cole, Lampard, Ballack, Kalou, Malouda, Wright-Phillips, Sinclair, Sahar... our attacking options are endless.

Our preliminary squad for today: Chelsea (from): Cech, Cudicini, Hilario, Belletti, Ferreira, Carvalho, Alex, Ben-Haim, A Cole, Bridge, J Cole, Sidwell, Wright-Phillips, Malouda, Pizarro, Sinclair, Ballack, Sahar, Anelka.

A goalscoring debut against the Yids would earn him instant legend status. Well, not quite, but he'd certainly gain some respect.

Well PSG are after him, but they have been absolutely woeful thus far in Ligue Un. Apparently €15 million is what Spurs have offered, which is about £11 million

The hardest ones still going... Scholes Butt Essien Gattuso Toulalan

Malouda will never set the world alight - he plays consistently at 70%, whereas Robben might score a brace one game and just fade away in the next.

They missed Mikel. Not for reasons of him discovering potential. Because he'll break your legs if you ain't careful Agree with Benzema. The guy is incredible.

Short and sweet AND gets the point across

You'd rather play Shevchenko than Drogba? This thread is becoming a joke

Yeah, I'd prefer Benzema. But Fred is a good player and seems eager to leave.

He is young and ambitious, I can see him returning to France. Lyon and Bordeaux have made enquiries.

Remember 2005? Liverpool 1 - 4 Chelsea "That's Why We're Champions!"

As you have already said Bayern is a no - Jurgen Klinsmann signed for them and takes over next season. Its between Milano and F.C.Barcelona in my books.

Most of our strikers have, but most of our strikers have come from foreign leagues. Don't expect debut hattricks, because he needs time to settle and adapt to our system. At Long Ball-ton Wanderers, they rarely play from the back and break forward so he will have to learn our methods of attack.

Robben is still on the waiting list, it seems. Glad to see him back, Maka is ten times better than Sidwell.

I'd prefer to see him out for four weeks rather than three. I don't want to rush him back. JT is brave but stupid. He throws himself at everything and he will just aggrivate the injury if he gets back too soon and it will cost us. Alex and Ricardo are a great partnership, and Ivanovich will be signing soon I hope.

Completely spot on, Tri-Blue. Armed with two proven Premier League strikers and another with such quality is a mouth watering prospect. Manchester United may have their Ronaldos, their Tevez and their Rooneys, but Chelsea have Anelka, Malouda, Drogba, Joey, Shevchenko, Shaun, Lampard, Ballack... that just oozes quality

LMFAO What about Veron? Sub?

The out of favour Lyonnais forward is set to leave the club. He's an absolute gem of a player and I've heard Tottenham and Portsmouth, as well as Paris Saint Germain are interested. Would be worth a shot, I feel. He is a Brazilian striker, for those wondering, with a rocket of a shot.

Get over it, we spent god knows on Veron. This is a fucking bargain in comparison.

Last time I went to the Bridge I sang so much I couldn't speak for three days

I spoke too soon. This game is too early for him to return, apparently.

Diarra was never going to break into our first team ahead of Essien, Maka and Mikel anyway
