Of course, if 6 starters are injured we would be in trouble, juste like in every team... if Suarez, Messi, Neymar and co are injured in the same time, they would be crap

Fair point mate there's some deadwood need replaced tho I like to have quality back up in every position like we did in 2004/05 season

I would say Azpi could do it. And we could play zouma / ivan as 3rd CB

I don't think azpi would even do good job for rwb, we need a proper left footed player there so he can cross. Kennedy is one of them.

Honestly, i dont get the Kenedy hype, im brazilian, and very few people ive met actually rated him,i think he just doesnt have the football inteligence to play at the highest level, he reminds me too much of Hulk, and i would prefer that he stays out on loan to see how he develops, before recalling him to play a role that is not even his natural one, would much prefer that we go after Gaya, who IMO is a better player than Alonso and perfectly suited for the LWB role

You mean like the Hulk we tried to get again and again?

We tried to get many players, but that doesnt mean that they are great.Hulk is fucking awful, and every single brazilian dreaded the sight of him on the national team, all he has is a powerfull shot, Kenedy has some qualities, but the hype he is getting (some people are calling for him to comeback and start for us ffs) is completely unjustified, and i would much rather see Traore at the first team, who IMO has much more to offer than Kenedy, who is a good dribbler, but doesnt offer much besides that.... again, feel free to disagree, but thats just my opinion on him

Crossing is an overrated attribute of a wide defender. (And of a wide attacker, come to that.) It is far more important that a fullback/wingback should be a good possession player. I haven't seen any sign that Kennedy is such a player.

I had hoped he would get minutes with Watford as he sought to turn himself into an attacking full-back.  He clearly hasn't done enough to earn those minutes however. For now at least, it can't be much more than wishful thinking on our part to imagine Kennedy making a sound contribution for Chelsea.

Lichtsteiner and Badelj could help secure a top 4 finish. If Moses got injured, it would be nice call up on an experienced wing-back. And he's worked with Conte of course.

Badelj is a player who's been linked with Chelsea. Not the greatest or most exciting signing but he's a good player. Has plenty of experience in the system so he can slide right in when he's needed.

Chelsea would still lack a left-footed player for that LWB role and I think bringing back Van Aanholt would be worth a try. A cheap Jan option but more importantly, a homegrown option. As a fullback, he doesn't cut it to make it at the top. But as a wingback things are different. The boy is good going forward and offers great pace to quickly get up and down the left flank. His defensive weaknesses would not be as much of  problem with that support of the left sided CB and left forward. He would mostly need to be disciplined and commited like Moses. We've seen how that shift in positioning (and change in tactical role) transformed Moses. Van Aanholt could surprise as well.

Courtois/Begovic

Azpilicueta/Ivanovic - Luiz/Terry - Cahill/Zouma

Moses/Lichtsteiner - Kante/Chalobah - Matic/Badelj - Alonso/Van Aanholt

Pedro/Willian - Costa/Batshuayi - Hazard/Oscar

(Eduardo; Fabregas)

*Underlined = HG.

A squad of 24 players consisting 7 HG players would qualify right?
