I love that lineup in theory however, It is very attacking and as i said, that is a lot of new players to the premier league to throw in all at once. I would Hazard (LOL) a guess that we could see something like that during the season, but i think RDM will play ramires and try to introduce Marin gradually and maybe oscar too if he does in fact sign. Hazard will start though... Must do IMO.

Your definately not the only person, its a formation and personnel problem. He was great last season, but won't take Mata or hazards place at cam. Mikel will be DM probably and Lampard has done well in that role. Leaving Ram/RW the only one left and he has competition for that... It happens. It took me a while to deal with the fact that lampard wouldn't always be starting... But i got over it... Also to add. He will still have a big role whether he starts or not, as it is a long season with a lot of games.

Also doesn't mean he can't play there, Lampards best position isn't DM but i think he has been good there. Time will tell

TBH his best position is as a box to box midfielder, but he is trusted by di mateo, and i doubt RDM would want 3 new signings all next to each other at the start of the season. Also the box to box role doesn't really exist in the 4-2-3-1 formation so its the only place he can play really other than at DM which is not suited to him. There have been plenty of debates on the subject and its hard to tell. But RDM knows the quality Rambo has, so it is likely he will play at least in the early part dependant upon who we bring in.

We have no other recognised strikers... and that is not confirmed...Who would you start?

Only on the chelsea TV stream in england... Not televised, don't know what other countries do.

Yeah, i expect him to give most players some time, so yeah if its 60/30 split then that is fair enough...

Blackman - no need for cech, already great with back 4 so no need to worry about that, obviously will be number one for at least 4 seasons... Injury permitting. Any back 4 really with Luiz at CB, that is fairly settled anyway and not many changes there. Lampard/Josh Mikel/Essien Look at how Josh and essien are doing. Ramires (see how he does at RAM/RW)/Kevin De breyne (He needs some game time) Hazard (Give him as much time as possible to get used to everyone else as he can be a star this season) Marin (Also needs time) Lukaku, need to see him play more and is the only recognisable striker.

That is certainly different... 4-1-4-1 with Benayoun and rm and malouda and Lb, out of interest what would be the purpose of that?

Best bet is probably someone on ebay selling them cheaper in a month or two.

Maybe, personally i hope not, and as that second half team is full of players or are probably going on loan etc. I would rather see more time given for the team and new signings to get used to the rest of the team, as that is the most important thing.

I personally would love to see: Lukaku/Piazon Marin Hazard De bruyne/ramires Mikel/merelis Lampard Cole Terry Luiz/cahill Hutch/ivan Blackman For the first half to give them some game time to gel, then take of the likes of Terry Cole and Lampard, all of whom we know loads about. and give some of the others a go.

and Kane as well i think... Thats what i heard, don't know if its true...

I am not gonna criticise torres for wanting high wages..., everyone wants high wages its a factor of life. I don't understand why you hate torres so much tbh. He had a pretty bad season. So did others. Drogba only scored around 10 goals as well in the premier league. It happens. Kalou, Boswinga and malouda, don't get criticised anywhere near as much, as it is the transfer fee that put all the attention on torres. Also None of them 3 used to be considered one of the best in their position 3 years ago. Of course he wants to be the main striker on the team, i would be worried if he didn't. Still don't get why you hate him so much. also he was PART of the team that did the double, including the most prestidgous tournament there is. European champions. I still don't get the whole nando fanboys thing, its a matter of opinion, i think he should be our striker and you don't.. I am not a fanboy of his (as you put it) just my opinion. I also think Lampard is the greatest player to wear the blue shirt, and he is my hero... That make me some Lampard Fanboy?

Lol,no i am a part of the chelsea Fanclub FC, you just think about joining. i think you forget, this is the chelsea Team, torres is NOT my favourite player on the team, but it doesn't mean i critisice him every time he steps onto the pitch. He also didn't determine his transfer fee. I am not saying that torres had a good season last year. I am simply saying i think he can have a good season this year as our supply line is amazing. I support the club, and he is not a scouser, he is not from liverpool. He left there meaning he escaped the hell hole. Saying you hate seeing him in a chelsea shirt is ridiculous. I would critisise torres if he didn't give the effort. Nothing i can do about transfers, i would rather see torres lead our line than sturridge and i am a huge fan of lukaku but he is not just ready yet. Also he is not trying to replace Drogba, he is a different sort of striker to drogba, and no one can replace him directly. Also what does the thing in bold mean?

I am just saying why people say he is the best in the world.. He would probably get tackled a lot more in the premier league.

Messi last season la liga alone. 36 games 50 goals 16 assists. Thats why.

Not Nando fanboys, but Chelsea Fanboys. You lot can sit there and just critisise torres and i will support the team on the pitch. If he is deemed not good enough then the management will deal with it and replace him, and until then he is our striker, and he can't be a scouser in your eyes if he plays bad then when he plays good support him. Seriously, support the team and stop complaining about one player.

Ballack was always one of the best name for a commentator to shout.... I.E. Balls crossed in, and its BALLLACCKKKKKKKKK!...

We will have Hazard, Mata, Marin, Ramires, Lampard, who can play there... Mata or hazard will have a permanent (injury and occasional rotation for lesser games the exception) positon there, so if you assume that the 3 behind torres is something like Ramires, Mata and Hazard, then if mata can't play for whatever reason we have 2 players extra who can come in. On top of that its not like raul merieles can't play there. So imo he is 3rd choice for just one position, and if you put oscar which apparantly is close then he would be 4th choice. Really don't think we need him at all. Also i know Marin is a winger and won't play there though he could come in and be shifted wide so Hazard or whoever will play there. So in terms of pecking order he is actually 6th joice Attacking midfielder, with the possiblilty of becoming 7th choice.

I have 100% confidence in the lad. We should still give him time. If he doesn't become one of the best players i would be very surprised, based on what i have seen of him at lille and the first game for us. The future is bright. the future is Hazardous.

Just some short vids, nothing much happens but still, nice to see thier swing...
