Shak

We should of kept Tore (young Turkish winger)...he has potential..Hiddink saw something in him, gave him a cameo for the Turkish national team recently... As for Mancienne; Sala. Selling them was probably the best option for their individual careers to progress.. Then their was Rajkovic..he could of been another handy option at CB...but he failed with his work-permit...

I'm more worried about Gael Kakuta's lack of playing time at Bolton...that kid has some amazing raw talent and has alot of skills that you look for in a young winger/creative midfielder. What does everyone think of Gael Kakuta? Does he have a chance of breaking into the Chelsea first-team sometime in the next 3 seasons...or will he be sold sooner rather than later?

I'd take Dawson & Dann (if both are fit and doing well for Spurs & Blackburn respectively) instead of Gary Cahill to Euro 2012...

If we are playing them in the Cup and the league consecutively..then i'm sure AvB will rotate the team. Hope to see more minutes for Romeu & McEachran in the cup fixture. We should be able to beat them. I'd say 2-1 but like ALL other fans on this forum, our defending from set-pieces has to be top-notch.

Alex will probably be sold at the end of this season. I dont think Gary Cahill is the solution for Chelsea's defence in the short term & in the long-term. I'd prefer to see how much Jeffrey Bruma learns/improves on his loan-spell at Hamburg as-well-as Hutchinson's miracle-comeback before we think of splashing the cash on Gary Cahill...

yep, that is Gigi Buffon's caricature South West Sydney, Australia.

Obviously Khedira is better than Mikel as a true CDM...after-all, we converted Mikel from an attacking midfielder (a position where he sparkled for Nigeria at the U-17 World Cup..and won the Silver Award behind none-other than Argentina's maestro, Leo Messi) to a defensive midfielder. I'd prefer Chelsea to look at Yann M'Villa IF we were interested in signing a CM/CDM for the future. He looks the real deal for his club and for the French national team. What our team lacks more than anything is a real maestro. Someone like Modric; Jovetic.

PvA seems to be on-track to represent the Holland national team, just like fellow Chelsea youngster Jeffrey Bruma (currently on-loan at Hamburg) who made his full debut last season.

Have been a die-hard Chelsea fan since 1999. My favourite players from Chelsea would have to be ZOLA & Captain Terry. Hopefully I can get involved into some of the discussions, share some knowledge & gain some knowledge from all the fans on this great forum. KTBFFH!
