Just because he was injured, you cant say Essien is a tosser. I still have one of finest memories of chelsea including him...great player

Well, than 30 mio for all players and another 60 mio from Roman. In that case, 60mio is not that much, considering we paid 50mio only on Torres... With those 90 mio, we could get those 4 players and i think our team would be very, very good and young next season. Just the fact, we might get two most promissing talents in football world Hazard and Mvila (Gotze, Muniain, Wilshere, Neymar are in that range), would give us great team for the future. Combining this with our team of Ramires, Mata, Sturridge, Luiz, our young hopes Mceachran, Piazon, Kalas, Bruma, Bertrand, Courtois, Romeu, Lukaku, Chalobah, Feruz,... and adding Belhanda + Azpi to squad...We dont need to spend practicaly any money in the future...If most of those youngsters will actually prove their skill, we dont need new players any time soon. I just cant name that much top promising players, like Chelsea has. Maybe Barca has about 10 such promising players like we, but no other club...the problem is, that we just cant handle with them, once they should play; Borini, Gokhan Tore, Stoch,...recently...

he is in the range of lucas piazon or ulises davilla. has potential and a usefull buy, since he is a striker. but the question is, are chelsea ready to make him star or he wil just sit on bench. if roman has money, why not but i dont want bunch of potential future star players, because chelsea needs young players, ready for first team action...

Well, I said to buy Belhanda and Hazard, who are both attackingly minded + Mvila. This guy will block counter attacks, if Hazard or Mata loses the ball... For those prices, yes I know it will be hard to sell (i looked on transfermarket), but i think theese players, especially malouda, meireles, kalou and mikel could become very important players for teams like juve, milan, napoli, schalke, valencia,...if they would buy them...

I allways really liked Real and Chelsea only, and never wanted theese two teams transfering players between. Luckily, only Makelele and Carvalho switched in recent years...

After some thinking, I think this would be my favourite Chelsea team for next season: Players out: Ferreira (1,000,000mio) Bossingwa (6,000,000mio) Meireles (14,000,000mio) Obi Mikel (17,000,000mio) Kalou (9,000,000mio) Malouda (9,000,000mio) --- That gives us around 40,000,000mio for all players, considering minimum for them... +60,000,000mio from Abramovich (which is not that much, yet enough) And we easily come to 100,000,000mio max. Players I would buy for that money are: 1.Eden Hazard (around 27,000,000mio, but we would pay 35,000,000 or more...). WHY: We need winger, Mata to central role and one problem solved 2.Azpilicueta (7,000,000mio, but might get him for 12,000,000mio) WHY: With the sales of Boss and Ferreira, we need backup for Brana...also, he might ocassionaly play on left side, who knows? 3.Yann Mvila (20,000,000mio, we get him for about 25,000,000) WHY: After we offload Meireles and Mikel, we need new player to rotate in midfield. This time a top class youngster... 4. Younes Belhanda (8,000,000mio, but 17,000,000mio would do more justice) WHY: Since we would play with Mata, Ramires and Hazard (they have to play), we shouldnt get another top class playmaker like Modrič, Sneijder or Hamšik, since one of them would sit on bench. But Belhanda type of player would give great rotation with option to play on wing or central midfield...This player would also compete for 1st place in team, which means Mata and others will have to show they deserve to play in 1st 11. --- Around 90,000,000 for all them, but since 40,000,000 comes from sales, 50,000,000 mio would be invested in new players...They are 21 or 22 years old and would fit great in our team, solving many problems...Question of striker remains, but I hope Torres finds his form, or in worst case Sturridge plays central role, and in winter we sell Torres, and buy new striker (Cavani, Falcao, Hulk, Doumbia,,..class). Of our young academy: Lukaku should play summer friendly games with Chelsea, and remain as reserve to ocassionaly play as winger or striker (10 games in whole season would be good for start). Mceachran should be loaned to a club in pl or championship, where he could regulary play. De Bruyne should stay with team, like Lukaku and play as reserve for wing (to replace Hazard sometimes, because we should sell Malouda). Piazon should be loaned too (maybe together with Josh in same club in Championship...), Kalas, Bruma, Davilla should stay on loan...But if Lukaku and De Bruyne stay, they should get at least 15 games (including Fa-cup starts and several PL sub-appeareances) And definately, it seems, Roberto di Matteo should stay next season. WHY? Well, he knows players, club, and he wont cost much...Less than anyone else. And the team? -----------Cech----------- Brana-Luiz-Terry-Cole ----Essien-Ramires----- Sturridge-Mata-Hazard ----------Torres---------- Subs: Azpi, Cahill, Bertrand; Mvilla, Romeu, Belhanda, De Bruyne, Lampard; Lukaku, Drogba The only question remains attack, since Drogba is old, Torres not in form (but coming), Lukaku far from PL experience, while Sturridge was more a winger than striker for CFC soo far. As I said, in that case, buy new forward in later in winter transfer period. Sorry for so long talking, I had to share my thoughts, even they might never come true...

i'm really happy about him at least one position where we dont need to look for players in the future. still, i hope cech remains top for next 3 seasons or so, giving curtois necessary time to become older and more experienced. i dont want de gea case...he was very good in spain, but had big problems in united.

while he was playing, he played very good actualy. but essien was injured and mikel in terrible form. they are both back and it seems roberto trusts older players more than young...but sure, there must be something else in this story. injury of romeu or barca interest. i really want to keep this guy, hes good for that age and from barca academy...we will need such players in future...

well, torres actualy plays very good with fights, assists and all that team work, but the guy is striker and he should start scoring regulary...maybe it is true, that he needs backup playmaker, but he misses a lot of chances. last game against aston villa was good example of his another miss (well the keeper denied goal, but distance was soo small and torres should socre). and there is plenty of such misses. if he would score them, he would have at least 8 goals in pl only. i still trust in him, cant really imagine torres in form at chelsea, it would be a beast but there is always hope...el nino must score against benfica and then, he could be officialy back...

well he's playmaker and winger. he has great long and short passing (which sturridge is more selfish). the passing would be great for our midfield, since we need a good passer for torres. he is great dribller and creative man, which we need. and last, french league is very similar to english by type of football style. strong and quick... sure, belhanda will need some time to get into english football (hazard would need some time aswell), but he would quickly adopt english life. and definately, he is strong enough to play in pl. just compare players like fabregas, mata, silva,...they all looked far too weak, but they are the best in pl (cesc left...). belhanda would be doing the same thing as theese spaniards... offcourse this guy is not the only option, but he is great option, cheap enough. next year playing for us, he could be next hazard...for half money.

I dont get it, why we dont start looking at such kind of players...young, cheaper and already experienced. For this guy, i heard Barca put high interest on, and for such price he would be great in chelsea. they compare him to hazard, he can play as winger and playmaker and he's really proven, not unlike de bruyne and such players... I really hate such stories, when we are observing MODRIČ type of player, but we dont get him, and instead, we get MEIRELES!!!???WTF? No really, we should get belhanda for half price of modric or even less, and ten times better than meireles. but we shoul try to get such players immediatly, not after our main transfer target falls into water and we are looking for alternative in last hour of transfer period... In all, Hazard/Hamšik, Azpi and Belhanda would be great choice of transfers, 60mio max for three great, necessary players...+they are young and ready for first team action...and then there is some more money for one more player of ''up to 15mio'' range. with the sales of boss, kalou, ferreira, meireles,...we get 15mio for all which means 15mio+15mio=30mio for another player of more central holding midfielder position. Something between attacking/deffensive midfielder to strenghten our midfield and add some more rotation after we sell meireles...

well if he is not good enough to play for swansea regulary now, i dont expect hes good enough to play for chelsea next season...josh, lukaku, piazon,...and other youngsers have to play regulary for other teams (on loan) or slowly get into our team (each month a game, and then if they are proving good, more and more chances for them). If nothing of this happens, they will never be good enough for our team, whille sitting on the bench. eventualy we will offload them and they will shine for other clubs. like borini,...But i still have high hopes for these guys

I really hope for 3 signings: Azpi, because we need new rb (boss and ferreira out necessary), winger (hazard, lavezzi, hulk,...) and playmaker (hamšik, modrič, sneijder,...) but i hardly believe, we will actualy sign 3 big players for 30-40 mio... But i expect at least one big 35mio+ transfer(hamšik, hazard,...) and then hoping for some cheaper, younger, but already experienced players like younes belhanda, Andre ayew,...in that range...for around - 20mio. still belhanda is ranked for around 10mio, we dont get him for less than 16, just because we are chelsea, and they will want more. After all, we should look in french league again, because lot of players we had, came from there (didi, anelka, essien, malouda,...). but times change, yet those french guys always fitted our club and i think of ayew as a great new malouda.... and one more thing; i realy like mceachran, but he doesnt play for swansea much, even as reserve...you say there are currenty better players than him, but than again, you want him to play for chelsea regulary? he's not on swansea level, but is on ours...untill he will prove somewhere, i dont really count on him. yes hes young, but he and lukaku, piazon and such players need to start playing regulary and i would offload them on loans in the summer. to the clubs where they will actually play regulary. and then we will see, if they can turn on good, like sturridge...i want to see them all in the squad of chelsea in next few years, but if they wont play, they will never be good enough for our team standards...

I found a link pointing a switch between Villareal and Napoli. Rossi to Napoli for 15mio and Lavezzi to premier league. Told by Rossi's agent... Since it was suggested by Rossi's agent, it could be somehow possible. If we bid for Lavezzi (in case, we couldnt get Hazard), then it's possible that he will actualy come. And together with Hamšik (instead of Modrič, Sneijder,..who might not want to come), we would have a great pair of players we need. +Azpi and that's all I want in summer... off-topic: Someone said that Sneijder is too old to come and yes I partly agree that, but if he plays excellent only one season and helps to win CL somehow in that year, I would buy him anytime...

Well, this showed up on goal.com: http://www.goal.com/en/news/11/transfer-zone/2012/03/23/2987111/agent-rossi-could-join-napoli-if-lavezzi-leaves Since it was suggested by Rossi's agent, it could be somehow possible. If we bid for Lavezzi (in case, we couldnt get Hazard), then it's possible that he will actualy come. And together with Hamšik (instead of Modrič, Sneijder,..who might not want to come), we would have a great pair of players we need. +Azpi and that's all I want in summer... off-topic: Someone said that Sneijder is too old to come and yes I partly agree that, but if he plays excellent only one season and helps to win CL somehow in that year, I would buy him anytime...

I really dont want this happen at all. Why? Moura is great dribller, but extremly selfish. Watch videos, where he could pass the ball(with team-mate in open goal position), but instead he shoots and not scores. In fact, he never passes when attacking...We already have to deal with Sturridge about selfishens. But then, who knows, maybe lucas would become next xavi for chelsea in 2 years...You never know. Falcao? Well, if we would buy Hulk, i dont really think we need another striker, since he is great goal scorer in as main forward. I think it would be better with buyin Lavezzi, instead of Falcao... Hamšik/Sneijder/Modrič/''maybe Lucas Moura'', Hazard/Lavezzi/Hulk and Azpilicueta. Bossingwa, Ferreira and Kalou out. Playmaker, winger and Rb is what we need now. Or just winger and Rb, because than Ramires and Mata couldnt play...+Hamšik for rotation... Maybe Lavezzi and Hamšik, or Hulk ---Cech--- Brana-Luiz-Terry-Cole Essien Ramires/Hamšik-Mata Sturridge-Torres-Hazard +Azpi, Hamšik/Ramires, de Bruyne, Romeu, Cahill,...Hulk could play instead of Hazard, or centre forward... And obvisously we need Torres in great form next season...or a new striker... But I'm not coach, so what I want are 2 top class players we need. And good play next season...

Well, Sneijder is my favourite, but hes getting old...Hamšik or Modrič or someone else than...

He could be good on LB side as well. And I would sell bossingwa, soo Azpi has to come...Bruma has to play one more year on loan, same Kalas. And then maybe Lucas Piazon as well (would be good in Swansea or somwhere, but should have to play standardly). Wasnt Mceachran loaned to Swans to play regulary? Well I see he doesnt play at all. Is he that bad, or what?

Well, last winter, we spend 70mio only on Luiz and Torres. I think Roman has money and this is not problem, if he will think Chelsea needs them. But if players will want to leave...Sneijder YES, Lavezzi ?(club told not for sale), Azpilicueta YES, Hazard YES, but where to?

Well, I was thinking a little about new players. We already have a decent team + KDB, Lukaku, Piazon, Bertrand, Oriol,...lots of young talent. Stil, there are players, despite legends, like Drogba, Malouda, Lampard, that dont need to go yet, but will go soon. Players out: Kalou, Meireles?, Bosingwa, Ferreira and maybe Malouda. Players in (my best choices): RB reserve: Azpilicueta (young, good defender, spanish, plays in france-similar style of football) , allround midfielder(winger): Lavezzi (experience, winger, goal scorer, speed, stamina, strenght, dribling, passing, playmaker: Sneijder, Modrič or Hamšik (one of them), striker(if needed, depends on Torres form): Doumbia or Cavani. Also, some extras: Axel Witsel instead of Meireles - young, great ball possession, dribling, passing, great form, good in defence and attack. Mvilla instead of Mikel? - not sure if we need him? Hazard instead of Malouda - everything about him has already been told. My team for next years: --------------------------Cech (Courtois) ----------Brana/Azpilicueta - Luiz/Cahill - Terry - A.Cole------------- ------------------------------Essien------------------------------------------ ------Sneijder(or other playmaker)/Ramires---Mata/KDB------------ ----Sturridge - Torres/Lukaku/Drogba - Lavezzi/Hazard------------ I think this would be good team, lot of mixing and total of 4 transfers (or 3) Reserves: Mceachran, Bertrand, Piazon, Oriol, Lukaku, Lampard, Meireles/Witsel, Mikel, I know, lot of new players and money but count several players leaving as well. And some day Lampard and Drogba will also leave... For this summer Azpilicueta, Sneijder/Modrič/Hamšik/other playmaker, Lavezzi/Hazard (maybe both if Malouda leaves). But now to the price of players: Azpilicueta(12mio), playmaker(30mio+), Lavezzi(30mio), Hazard(30mio). I think Lavezzi would be great, because he could play on several positions, Hazard on both wings, playmaker in centre and there is also de bruyne, who could play on the wing or in centre. Around 100mio, but if Chelsea wants to be best, this is the only way now. Yet i don't support this spending. I'd love to se that Chelsea with such players like Hazard and el pocho, but I think we should invest in young players more (chances,...), yet 3 players are necessary...And we are back to spending at least 70mio on those three. What do you think? --- Also I think Di Matteo is seems to be very good coach soo far. If Chelsea wins against City and Tottenham (+comes to 3/4 place in premier) and goes into semifinals of CL, I want him stay...We dont really need to spend on another manager and the time for him, meet with players, new tactics,..stay with Di Matteo and next season will be great, specialy if we actualy get some good players...
