MGuerreiro 252 Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 Well, I was thinking a little about new players. We already have a decent team + KDB, Lukaku, Piazon, Bertrand, Oriol,...lots of young talent.Stil, there are players, despite legends, like Drogba, Malouda, Lampard, that dont need to go yet, but will go soon.Players out: Kalou, Meireles?, Bosingwa, Ferreira and maybe Malouda.Players in (my best choices): RB reserve: Azpilicueta (young, good defender, spanish, plays in france-similar style of football) , allround midfielder(winger): Lavezzi (experience, winger, goal scorer, speed, stamina, strenght, dribling, passing, playmaker: Sneijder, Modrič or Hamšik (one of them), striker(if needed, depends on Torres form): Doumbia or Cavani.Also, some extras: Axel Witsel instead of Meireles - young, great ball possession, dribling, passing, great form, good in defence and attack. Mvilla instead of Mikel? - not sure if we need him? Hazard instead of Malouda - everything about him has already been told.My team for next years:--------------------------Cech (Courtois)----------Brana/Azpilicueta - Luiz/Cahill - Terry - A.Cole-------------------------------------------Essien------------------------------------------------Sneijder(or other playmaker)/Ramires---Mata/KDB----------------Sturridge - Torres/Lukaku/Drogba - Lavezzi/Hazard------------I think this would be good team, lot of mixing and total of 4 transfers (or 3)Reserves: Mceachran, Bertrand, Piazon, Oriol, Lukaku, Lampard, Meireles/Witsel, Mikel,I know, lot of new players and money but count several players leaving as well. And some day Lampard and Drogba will also leave...For this summer Azpilicueta, Sneijder/Modrič/Hamšik/other playmaker, Lavezzi/Hazard (maybe both if Malouda leaves).But now to the price of players: Azpilicueta(12mio), playmaker(30mio+), Lavezzi(30mio), Hazard(30mio).I think Lavezzi would be great, because he could play on several positions, Hazard on both wings, playmaker in centre and there is also de bruyne, who could play on the wing or in centre. Around 100mio, but if Chelsea wants to be best, this is the only way now. Yet i don't support this spending. I'd love to se that Chelsea with such players like Hazard and el pocho, but I think we should invest in young players more (chances,...), yet 3 players are necessary...And we are back to spending at least 70mio on those three.What do you think?---Also I think Di Matteo is seems to be very good coach soo far. If Chelsea wins against City and Tottenham (+comes to 3/4 place in premier) and goes into semifinals of CL, I want him stay...We dont really need to spend on another manager and the time for him, meet with players, new tactics,..stay with Di Matteo and next season will be great, specialy if we actualy get some good players...Well, when you think about it we spent about 65 mil this summer. Mata (£23m) Lukaku (£18m) Meireles (£12m) Romeu (£6m) Courtois (£6m), the numbers might be slighlty different, don't remember the exact figures.Sneijder is too old, he would be a bad signing.Azpilicueta would be great, I think. Not too sure about Hamsik or Lavezzi. I would rather want someone like Christian Eriksen for Hamsik and Muniain for Lavezzi, they shouldn't cost as much but are younger. I know we denied Eriksen two times and that he maybe wouldn't want to come here, but I would like a player in that mould.Jovetic would also be a great signing, cheaper than Lavezzi but can be equally productive, would be a kind of a Mata-ish signing.Roughly guessing the price, it would be Azpi (£12m) Eriksen (£15m) Muniain (£20m) and Jovetic (£20m). That's £67 mil which is well doable and would make our team well capable of challenging all competitions.-----------------------------Cech-------------------------Brana/Azpi ---- Luiz/Cahill ---- Terry---- Cole/Bertrand---------------Essien/Rami--------Eriksen-------------Muniain ----------------- Mata -------------- Jovetic-------------------- Torres/Sturridge ------------------------Now, that lineup gets me wet.

Bir_CFC 3,455 Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 I think 4-2-3-1 is the way to go in the future. So we definitely need a world class winger and a creative midfielder.I would love a winger that can play on both wings cause I think Ramires should be on one wing from now on. Dude has shown great play on both wings and actually puts in good balls and is surprisingly good at taking on his man as well. Plus a guy like Ramires on your wing adds a lot to your defence.Sturridge should be a super sub and 2nd choice striker (Drogba should leave).For next year:Ramires - Mata - (Buy Winger)TorresST - Torres, Sturridge, LukakuRW - Ramires, Sturridge, Kakuta, KDBLW - (Buy a Winger - Hazard, Hulk etc.), Kakuta, KDBCAM - Mata, KakutaThe midfield is the biggest problem for me since I don't think we have a single player there that is even close to world class. Lamps is old, Essien isn't the same, Meireles, Mikel and Romeu are just mediocre.I think out of all the above listed we should only be starting one of them and buying a 2nd world class option - Modric, Hamsik type guys.First XICechIvan - Luiz - JT - Cole(Hamsik, Modric, Pjanic) - RomeuRamires - Mata - (Lavezzi, Hulk, Hazard, Jovetic)TorresSecond XITurnbullBos - Cahill - Bruma? - BertrandMeireles - MikelSturridge - Kakuta - MaloudaLukakuSo essentially just two big buys - 1 winger and 1 mid, lets say 55-60M in total. I think that's a reasonable spending to expect.We can let go of Drogba, Kalou, Hilario, Ferreira and maybe even Malouda depending on how much we can rely on Kakuta, Piazon, McEachran. Cause say what you want about Malouda he is fairly decent and provides good cover in both CM and the LW. And, I think he's been pretty decent lately.

KonohasOrangeFlash 2,607 Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 I think Essien and/or Mikel is fine for now, we should be aiming for that Elusive Winger we've been needing for ages now, One big name WInger and maybe even KDB, so he can rotate with Sturridge on the right Flank.Something like------Ivan/Az-----------------Luiz/Cahill-------------------Terry/Bruma------------------Cole/Bertand----------------------------Essien/Mikel/Ramires-------------Romeu/Meireles/Lampard--------------------------------Sturridge/KDB----------------Mata/Lampard/Meireles------------------------Ramires/(new winger)-------------------------------------------Drogba/Torres/Lukaku/Sturridge------------------------------------------We would have so many options, and I didn't even include Malouda, Kalou (they MAY still be here next season), Josh, Piazon, Kakuta etc. This is of course assuming we sign only 1 big name Player in the Summer, which i don't think we will, we'll get More probably.

A major summer squad overhaul is desperately needed and that means the likes of Malouda, Kalou, Bosingwa etc HAS to go. The future of Lampard, Drogba, Mikel, Essien, Meireles are all also up in the air. If that doesn't happen, prepare for even more major disappointments next season!

BleedsBlue 1,549 Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 I think its important that Chelsea choose not to buy many players in the summer even if there is an exodus of Chelsea players.Chelsea should start concentrate on trying to implement their own youth prospects such as Josh,Kakuta,Piazon etc for first team action Giving players such as Hutchinson,Piazon,Chalobah etc some first team opportunities will allow clubs to be interested for their services on a loan basis.Keeping them on the bench will surely not help at all.We should also not forget about the players who are out on loan.Davila and Kalas need to get loaned to English clubs so that they can adapt to the English game and be confident,Understandably,youth prospects wont get much chances now because we are in a very crucial part of the season but for the next season,its vital that these players are given the chances they deserve.I personally feel that we should just get a proper right back and a creative midfielder in the summer.We don't need any wingers because we have Kakuta and KDB who are both very versatile in play.In reality,its very difficult to see young talents get encouraged and promoted to the first team at Chelsea but with many players leaving in the summer,I think if the thoughts of the future manager are similar to mine then it could be possible.

A very good young right back and he'll cost us only 12 million if you believe reports in the winter transfer window. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
