If only we could get all the Players on Spike's list, unfortunately it will never happen. One of Cabaye/Granero, Hazard/Lavezzi and a RB are the minimum we need though. But if even that is too expensive and we go real conservative than Kagawa is a great option and a solid RB (whoever it is) is a must.

I think getting Marin will not end Kalou's Chelsea career, but rather Malouda's Chelsea career. Kalou is still a good squad/sub player to have. Although Kalou was complaining earlier in the year that he wants more playing time, so being a sub player may not be enough for him to be satisfied anymore.

GK - Cech Turnbull Blackman RB - Ivanovic Azpilicueta CB - Cahill Luiz Terry Kalas Bruma LB - Cole Bertrand CDM - Mikel Romeu RM/RW - Hazard Ramires CM - Lampard Essien/Meireles Ramires LM/LW - Marin Hazard CAM - Mata Kagawa ST - Cavani, Torres, Sturridge Lukaku and De Bryune on loan

I want Kagawa at Chelsea. Gem of a player!

I really don't know why people are 'dissapointed' and feel like he may fail at Chelsea. I'm fully expecting Marin to be a very good player at Chelsea. He is better than all our options on the wing. I expect an Ozil like transformation of Marin. He cost just 8 Million, so no matter what that was a Bargain.

Win the QPR, Newcastle, and Blackburn games and it's ours. We can afford to drop points at Anfield

Is he a LW or RW? I'll assume he's a left wing. Either way we still have room for Hazard #AManCanDream

------------Romeu--------- -------Mata-----Kagawa--- Hazard----Cavani---Marin

Van Der Wiel is just Bosingwa 2.0, Azpilicueta is who we should be after.

If we're wiling to pay 35 million for him why not for Hazard? Hazard will become twice the player Hulk is. It's a baseless rumour I know but if it's true it will be another example of our Idiocy in the Transfer Market.

Hopefully he'll excel at a big club like Ozil has done with Madrid.

Good signing, good value as well. Looks like for once we've done some good business. His age tells me we've bought him to be a starter, or at least a Meireles type player in that he will be starting plenty of games but also be on the bench plenty of games. I hope though, that this does not rule out Hazard. De Bryune will probably go on one more loan spell. From what I've read and seen of Marin he's a traditional winger and Pacey. I think, like Mata he will get better and adapt well to the EPL. Some German Efficiency is back in the team ------Hazard---------Cavani---------Marin----- I hope we can get Kagawa from the Bundesliga as well. Very good player. Also to my knowledge, Lukaku was used in the deal. He'll be going on loan to Bremen next season

Happy Birthday to the Magician Juan Mata

Mourinho won't sell him. He wants to sell Higuain to make way for Aguero.

That's what I meant

Who's better in each area: Defense: Chelsea Midfield: Pretty even, we are slightly better though Attack: Bayern This game, on paper, seems to be very even

Agreed, The likes of Cole, Drogba, Lampard, Terry, Kalou, Malouda, Essien have just about won everything, except the UCL. If they win that than they won't have anything left to accomplish or play for. Most of them would need to go.

Mancini declares Man City as Hazard's 'Perfect Destination' http://soccernet.espn.go.com/?cc=3436

It's a no brainer is my eyes. Suspension or not, this man has carried us for the better part of a Decade. He has probably had nightmares about the Penalty Miss in Moscow and it hurts him more than anyone. IF we win it, he needs to lift that Trophy!

It's safe to say we all Danced (badly) when Torres got that goal

If Guardiola leaves (looks inevitable) he will not manage any other team. He'll take a break for a year. Mourinho has ruled himself out, and I believe him. Not winning the UCL with such a great Madrid team means he's still got unfinished business. That leaves no-one really. Those are the only 2 I would have chosen ahead of RDM but since they're not going to come RDM is the obvious choice.

The Final feels like an eternity away

The game to do it is Probably the FA Cup Final, 14 days before the UCL Final. I'd like to win the FA Cup so I hope to see a near full strength team. For the QPR, Newcastle and Liverfool league games we should have a mixture of Subs/Reserves and First Teamers, mostly Subs and Reserves though.

----------------------Torres---------------------- ------Malouda-----Lampard-------Sturridge-- -----------Essien--------------Romeu----------- -Bertrand------JT-----Bosingwa-----Ferierra-- -----------------------Cech-------------------------- Bench: Luiz, Cahill (if fit), Lukaku, Mikel, Mata, Turnbull, Kalou Drogba to get a well deserved rest for the Newcastle game. The Clown at CB since we need to wrap Luiz and Cahill in Wool now to prevent Injury. I Hope RDM doesn't hesitate to Sub off Sturridge if he plays like a Selfish tool again.
