Hutcho

He should go when he realises he won't be anywhere near as high up in the pecking order as he was last year. Malouda has always given his best for us, and i would hope the club and him can leave on good terms. I think it is a bit unfair the vast critisicism he recieves, especially after being a fairly big part of chelsea especially a couple of years ago...

I think so... We rarely ever use our 3rd choice keeper, and i would highly doubt we would need to use him this season, also it would free up a spot in the 25...

he is a 6 ft 3 big powerful lad, he has plenty of time to improve a lot, so he definately is a target man... His heading may not be amazing, but it can improve, and as others have said, he has great hold up play.

Well in that case he can stay and be lucky to sit on the bench or he will have to go. I rate Kakuta and is a star for the future, but with all the new midfielders we have he won't get the chance to start unless we play our 2nd/3rd team in some other cup games...

I wouldn't loan Lukaku, as he now has a great chance to get some game time, its a completely different situation to many of our young midfielders as many such as Josh Mc have at least 5 people ahaead of him in the pecking order, where as lukaku only has 1, or 2, dependant, and if sturridge ever plays some at RW, Lukaku would definately be second choice. Also to add i still want Hulk, as he plays in a position we need greatly and can be a backup striker, filling 2 roles. All signing Cavani would do, is mean we have torres sitting on the bench and still a RW problem.

Tbh Benayoun should definately go as he will be about 7th choice midfielder, and Hazard and Mata will be playing in pretty much every important game, so malouda could also go to make room, and i would send Kakuta on loan.

TBH it doesn't matter who will play out of Oscar and Raul, as lampard will play ahead of Raul, so basically it is either Lampard or Oscar, as we are not gonna pay 25 mil for a midfielder to be 4th in line, assuming unless Mikel occupys one of the two holding midfield spots. And for me Lampard deserves to start more than anyone, and has always been quality. Between Lampard and Raul Merelies its not even close and we don't know how good Oscar is yet, but i am excited to find out. I know lampard wont play loads of games etc..... But with all the new signings and expected 4-2-3-1, lots of players have been pushed down the pecking order, one of which is raul merieles.

Oh i see. Because they have extra time off because they were in the final of euro 2012.

I don't understand...?

I think its the 25 mil pricetag and the fact he has recently started for brazil... I would start of with him coming off the bench and see how he does then go from there.. If he does well then he can start and if not he can get more exoerience of the bench... But i wouldn't be surprised if we did actually start him.

Kakuta won't get a look in this season... We have a stacked midfield which we are adding to. He is very promising though as is the way, we don't need him right now and i would rather him get experience and start to make a name for himself rather than just sit in the stadium watching the bench which is watching the game...

great news...

Agreed...

I think he has to be loaaned out. Doubt he will get a look in this season, since we have a stacked midfield. No point letting him sit on the bench all season IMO.

They were talking about Cavani, but obviously they got some differing news, so they changed it to a probable target than the biggest deal being close to signed... It couldn't be about oscar.

IMO this is a great buy... Proven in the premier league, big target man, always deserved the chance at the top...

If we actually bid 25 mil for walcott i would want everyone medically tested.

They were talking about a 35 mil deal for cavani as far as im aware.

I think most people agree that he was one of our best players, its just if we play our new 4-2-3-1 system, then the position he would play (CAM) is taken by Mata or Hazard, and he isn't ideal at RW, and isn't really a defensive midfielder. If it looked like we were gonna play 4-3-3 then i am pretty sure he would be in 90 per cent of our predicted line ups.

People are saying who our number 2 penalty taker should be with Drogba not here and Lampard not going to always be on the pitch. I am pretty sure, or would hope that no one thinks Lampard shouldn't be our number one penalty taker.

He played in a 4-3-3 with raul meries. It is expected we will play a 4-2-3-1 which he unfortunately doesn't have a definate role in, as he is not a RW or a defensive midfielder. He is highly suited to the 4-3-3 though it seems unlikley we will play that.

Yeah i suppose so, though the american stuff i watch is generally on around that time, but anyway, really looking forward to seeing Hazard in action, as well as everyone else obviously, shame we can't see mata hazard and torres all together but that will come later...

Your doing it wrong...

It doesn't bother me at that time, though i guess that is perks of being a student... Cant wait to see some footie...

Yep exclusively
