You can't see him providing midfield dominance? He's the King of Midfield. He keeps possession of the ball, every attack starts from his feet. He might not have goals or assists, but it all starts from him.
I don't really believe these media talks that he "wants" to go to Madrid and not Chelsea. I think every player would want to join Chelsea. They are CL winners ffs. It can't get better than that.
Well now that Chelsea won CL I don't think money is the issue. I don't believe they even spent half of that earned in CL. Someone correct me if I'm wrong. (I probably am)
Chelsea doesn't have a true RB. Bosingwa is not rly that good, and Ivanović is better as CB. So Chelsea should look into buying a good RB, something like Cole on LB.
