We need you players like Mata and Hazard, with the added luxury buys of the likes of KCB who should have the rotation spots in the squad.

Which shockingly, 3 of the 4 look set to be leaving in either the winter window or the summer one!

Hazard and De Bruyne is a must now, with Nico and Kalou off

AVB's special power is revealing

Hazard, De Bruyne, Lavezzi, Cahill Hazard to replace Anelka, De Bruyne to add more to depth on the left wing - also gives him time to get used to EPL with Flo leaving Summer imo, Lavezzi to be the goal threat we lack in strikers and the fact Didi won't be available due to ACoN, Cahill to replace Alex. Of course just ideas

I think Danny needs to be more clinical infront of goal, as well as looking out for other players in the box when he's on right hand side. Not saying he didn't play a good game (on the basis of the MoTD highlights), but i think he should be looking more towards that as well as shots. A terrific talent also he has become, abd cab't believe he was neglected so much last season!

Party-time! :dude: Happy Birthday bud!

How was Lampard's performance? I was watching highlights of the game on MoTD and was so shocked by his behaviour when he was subbed. Here's me thinking he wasn't that type of person, who had the respect for the manager, etc.

Nico isn't really a surprising player to have hadned in his request, nor is Alex really. Alex did say something about moving to Italy or something, but i wouldn't let him leave till we have a replacement in place. As for Nico, he can leave because he really has a squad member role now, and hopefully Kalou would be leaving also allowing for someone like Hazard to come in.

He seems like his play is built around his pace and his quick feet - which is something we kind of lack on the right wing, or left for that matter. Wouldn't say his dribbling skills are 'brilliant' for that matter, but with his quick feet could potentially be deadly! And for 7.5 million euros, looks a bargain - though it does depend on the whole work-permit issue.

Cech Bertand -- Luiz -- Terry -- Hutchinson Romeu Miereles -- Lampard Mata Sturridge -- Drogba/Torres :eyebrows:

recalling both Patch and Gael, abysmal loan decisions really.

Hutchinson to be on the bench, or asking too much :eyebrows:

link not working ? congrats on him! Hope AVB uses him in some way (bench, a rare start, etc).

Esk - the ultimate recruiter - was the source. Was looking for videos of Chelsea youth, and discovered a couple of vids about Nouble, went onto his page and read the url of the site. I then signed up to do what the website tells you to do - talk chelsea!

Cech Cole -- Alex -- Luiz -- Terry - Ivanovic - Bosingwa Romeu -- Mikel -- Miereles Sturridge Maybe then we might be able to keep a clean sheet

ZAH! Like one of those random bubble things that came out during the Adam West BatMan series Was one a gaming forums, and decided to come up with a name which has a gaming element and something added, you know so you could use like a gamertag, etc. Zan just came up. Know i can say: Zan is the Man Could also be: z4n5n4k3 but i think there is too many numbers maybe Z4n5nak3

Lalko - such a propsect yet doesn't even get one the bench. Another one going to HSV i guess- sigh... Are we that bad that we are turning to Kalou for hope - of all people?

Too bad it took him to get sacked to notice it

I hope Roman supports AVB, but really, we can't ease our minds about because some journalist made an assumption. They said Mata was Arsenal bound but he came to SB, for example, but i do hope it's true. Hope AVB starts to make changes tactically though - he needs to experiment to some exstent.

Meh random. but snake came from Solid Snake, even though i never really played MGS

OUtsung and outdone because of our once plus, which is now one of our biggest minus's.
