Options in our attack ?

[Kojo 4,676]

We could do with getting rid of some players, Ferriera i would keep him if he was willing to reduce his wages, it's good to an experienced fullback, you can't just have a backup of young players, Arsenal do that and look what always happens to them when most of there first eleven gets injured. Alex is a big problem, i highly rate him, one of my favourite players but his form this season has been terrible, great game in the stoke match, probably man of the match then, but lately i've been dissapointed in him. If he keeps it up then he has to go. Midfield we are very short of options, we will end up selling Benayoun and then we can go buy a playmaker maybe?, but who knows if AVB can work something out with our team this season i could be saying different at the end of the season. Forwards we need to be getting rid of a few, Malouda, he just isn't good enough anymore, not form, he's had time to pick it back up, he's just not good enough. Kalou, don't have to explain, Drogba, amazing player, legend, but i think this has to be his last season i'm afraid, we can't keep keeping these legends and not getting replacements and leaving our chances for youth, it's for the best, but we will miss him. Keep Anelka if he keeps it up, he deserves another year, it's proof, last season he was just lazy, and lacked motivation because Carlo sucked at it, Wilkins was a big help in the motivation and that's what screwed up the team when he left.

So yes we could do with a winger to give us more attacking options definitely, second striker i don't know if we can find one who is willing to be benched most games, the only one i can suggest in our team is Anelka, but he's not great at it, however he's experienced, can work with Torres and is willing to sit on the bench, it's probably just wages what he wants at the end of the day. But yes personally i just think we need a winger in our attacking options, a right footed one definitely who is willing to be our crosser, depending on how good Kakuta does i think i will decide what i think at the end of the season if we need a replacement for Malouda.

Well yesterday's game shut you up, eh? Lampard was outstanding and Terry did not put a single foot wrong.

Yes but its all about consistency, can he do that through the season ? Well that is still in question. John Terry is a complete liability in my honest opinion, he should be sold in the summer. I think Josh at this moment in time could have more of an effect on games then Lampard.

:lol:

[Tomo 21,751]

No it is not, its called forward thinking. Just look at what happened the last time we won the league by 1 point with a Drogba offside goal..

Macheda's double slamdunk 2 minutes later cancelled that one out.

[Peace. 4,352]

Well we did put in a bid for de Bruyne, so we can safely say yes. (I'm aware of the proposed loan agreements.)

Hum... Not sure, but I thought he was a left winger (and CAM)...

[Tomo 21,751]

We all seem to want a right winger, Marc Albrighton any one?

[Badboy 1,526]

:lol:

Oh sorry, a lot of English people usually do wear rose tinted glasses when one of their countrymen is in clear decline.

I'm not English. I just chose the English flag because my country's flag wasn't available

[Kojo 4,676]

I'll agree with badboy there, most people on here do have tinted glasses when it comes to Terry, when he underperforms he never gets as much shit as the others do if they under perform. He is a legend and what i love him most is he's been at our club his whole life, should we sell him?, we would be mad to do that, he is our leader in back 4, you just see how bad our defence would be without him. You need your leaders in the back four, the ones who sort it out, and John Terry is one of the best ones you can get. We shouldn't of sold him, but this season he's been average so far, last game solid, but average in overall this season. And we should do with him what we did with Lampard, play someone else and not give him automatic starting, hopefully it will do him good.

Terry is still the best defender in the world imo. His personal performance may not be perfect all the time but he's an excellent leader and he organizes our entire defence. Last season our defensive line was terrible under Ancelotti and especialy in the time Terry was injured. But then Terry came back and he immediately organized the defense. Our performance was and is still a lot better with Terry in the team.

He maybe made mistakes last couple seasons, but everybody does and we simply don't have a better defender in our squad.

[warnie_666 1,081]

Terry won't be sold no matter what. He is too powerful and has a very good relationship with Roman.

Yes he is a liability but he still is a good leader. A team without a leader is a team like headless chickens look at Arsenal and Man City.

Terry is the one that keeps the group together and is the reason why he along with drogba and Lamps is called the teams nucleus.

Regarding our attack, anelka is sure to leave next season and I hope we bring in Hazard to replace him.

Kalou will be sold

KDB if bought will go out on loan to genk or Atl Madrid.

Drogba and Malouda are going to stay no doubt.

Our attack for next year:

Torres, Drogba, Lukaku, Sturridge,

Mata, Malouda, Hazard,

Please tell me that is a moment............. please.

That is my point that Nucl

Drogba and Malouda are going to stay no doubt.

Torres, Drogba, Lukaku, Sturridge,

Mata, Malouda, Hazard,

That Nucleus needs to come to an end. We have had it long enough and it is going stale . We need fresh blood, also you made a point about John Terry's relationship with Roman that is another one of my points Roman needs to get out of the business of the first team. If Roman wants to be the manager then he can appoint himself instead of trying to play football manager with this club.

[dodojojo 510]

Terry shouldn't be sold but he'll be rotated just like Lampard. Let's not get into a Jamie Carragher situation here guys. Learn from Liverpool's current situation.

Terry's not the best defender in world, come on. If Pique said he wanted to be the starting CB for Chelsea, I would pair him up with Luiz, no questions asked.

You cant just replace the Nucleus of a Squad. Arsenal is an example. From being invincibles they are a bunch of headless chickens running around the field.

It has to be changed but only gradually. Who becomes the nucleus of the squad? A Player who is heart and soul of the first team and the club and more over a fan's favourite.

Terry, Lampard, Cech, Drogba.

The future candidates could be, Cech, Josh, Luiz, Mata and Sturridge. But it will still take a couple of years or more to form that. Untill then, JT has to remain at the club and learn to sit on the bench.
