@jmarlow That would be such an epic pivot! Vidal-Gundogan!!! It would be hard to find a better pivot than that!

When was the last time you watched Torres play? because he hasnt been playing like that for months! his link up play has been better than Ba's in recent months! Torres has improved massively with his back to goal, he plays much simpler now, he takes 1 touch then lays it off to a team mate, he has done this countless times since Rafa has sorted him out!

No Torres hasn't hit form, he has improved his all round game! his hold up play has improved, his speed and strength have also improved, he never would have been capable of scoring that goal against Benfica before Rafa came in! and if Ba was our striker for the Europa League i doubt he would have done any better than Torres, if he cant even put in good performances against weak PL teams then what chance would he have in Europe! he would have been the same he would have got good chances to score and miss pretty much all of them! Who would i sell? I wouldn't mind selling both if we replaced them with 1 world class striker and another striker like Luakau who could become world class, but if i had to pick 1 it would be Ba! he just isnt good enough for a team fighting for titles! he is just so wasteful in front of goal! Ba has better movement than Torres so he gets better goalscoring chances than Torres does but Ba just cant put the ball in the back of the net consistently enough! he doesn't even hit the target a lot of the times, with easy chances as well! none of them will be 1st choice next season so who would i rather coming off the bench against a tired defence? Torres easily! he is the type of player to take advantage of a tired defence who start to leave gaps towards the end of a match, we saw that in the Euro 2012 final against Italy Torres came on and took advantage of a tired Italy defence! I dont think Ba is a great option at all coming off from the bench to change a game! i would much rather see Lukaku or Torres coming on as they have the pace to get in behind a tiring defence, Ba would slow things up and probably get a chance 1 on 1 and hit it wide, that pretty much sums him up!

Haha!!! Ba hasn't been better than Torres in the league! Ba has been playing a lot more than Torres in the league and Torres has still been better than Ba in the League in recent months! name me one striker in League 2 or League 1 even, who could play up front for Chelsea and be the best player during the Europa League run! you cant can you? so stop posting crap as if Torres is a League 2 striker when he has clearly been better than Ba! so by your logic Ba must be a conference league Striker! Torres has worked harder than ever since Ba came in and Torres has kept improving because of it! whereas Ba started off well and has just got worse and worse! give any of them the ball 1 on 1 with a keeper and i know who i would fancy to score and its not Demba Ba! he has wasted so many easy chances that a striker who is supposed to be miles better than Torres should be scoring! but he has failed!

ok thats your opinion! nothing funny about Jose going to see how far or how close he is from becoming a first team player! he is certainly good enough to play for a PL team and could be a useful squad player for us next season! so i dont really see what you find so funny about the situation.

Why not? he knows we need to strengthen big time in Midfield so Mourinho could have gone there to see if Chalobah is ready to become a first team player rather then spending big on a DM, it makes sense to me.

Torres has been better than Ba simple as that! Ba just isnt good enough!

Because he will leave PSG this summer and he gets on well with Mourinho! and Ibra wants to win the CL and he knows he has a good chance to win it at Chelsea with Mourinho! It will happen!

I think we will sign Ibrahimovic and get a great 2 seasons out of him, which will allow Lukaku to develop into a world class striker by that time!

i doubt the club really want Cavani! I have a feeling we will sign Ibra this summer!

I expect, 20+ goals, 20+ assists, Chelsea POTY, PFA POTY, Football Writers POTY, PL player of the Month in August, December, April and May, World XI, Puskas Award and PL Goal of the Season

I have said it from day one! Neymar will be the next Robinho! I am certain he is nothing more than a showpony!

lol people want to just give Torres to Napoli when Fiorentina are willing to pay £30 million for Torres!

Bring it! lets smash them! 4-2 Hazard, Mata, Lewandowski/Cavani/Falcao/Rooney/Ibrahimovic x2

Paulo to dominate at LB!

i reckon we will go 2-0 down comeback to 2-2 then go 3-2 down then make it 3-3 then go 4-3 down and then lose 5-3!

Not in La Liga!

Only Ronaldo, Ramos, Pepe and Alonso have played more minutes than Modric this season in La Liga.

its pretty much guaranteed that we will sign a new GK in the summer as Jose always like to have a good number 2 on the bench either that of he will bring Courtois back from loan. Lopez is an excellent GK though and if he doesn't mind fighting for a place in the team with Cech then that would be a great signing!

I would love him at Chelsea he could become a great player in the pivot and also another option for the number 10 role, he could become the next Modric! and he has a legendary name! Alcantara!

I think Ake will play the majority of the game this time.

i agree but i would love Ibra to have a season or 2 here and win a PL! The guy is a beast! i guess the only way to get him would be to do Torres + cash for him!

if we dont get any of them we should go for Aguero or Ibra!
