How can Chelsea claim to be rebuilding...

Yeah its disgraceful, Kaka was also a 2 season wonder we also wanted him lol . We should never sign a high profile player ever again. The signings that usually do well at Chelsea are the 22-25 year old with established European pedigree players. Drogba, Essien, Robben, Mata, Sturridge, Ramires, Carvalho, these are the types of players we signed for 16-25 million who were not world class when they joined but not that far off and they all needed a big club to shine at a decent age.

Agree about the age profile 22 - 25 being ideal ..we seem to buy very young or older. Mata and Luiz might be a sign we are changing.

Signing players outside that window is a real gamble, and we have a history of losing said gamble.

Mata was the perfect player, Still young, not proven on the big stage and hungry.

if this article is true, I realy wonder who these guys are? Drogba would have been a suspect but he's not around and I don't think he's like that.

one thing we shouldn't be dumb about is the money. we spent millions this summer and we're still thin. we always spread out our spending and always end up spending millions on 2nd choice players.

IF I COULD GET A FEW DEMANDS FROM RON COURLAY N CO. apart from the signings in the OP is

SIGN AND SELL PLAYERS EARLY IN THE TRANSFER MARKET. If we wanna sell a player just keep them home. BUY EARLY CHELSEA PLEASE!

Well under Scolari it was Cech, Drogba, Ballack and Terry. So you can definitely put Terry and Cech on the list. Lampard too, probably. Wouldn't be surprised if Studge is one of them too, or Cole.

Well who ever they are they must be sent away as we cant have division in the squad like this. Also I feel that AVB is young enough to adapt and learn really fast how to handle CFC. How awesome would it be if AVB could be Chelsea's own Alex Furguson.

Didn't Cech sign a new contract until 2017? If we really axe him, I hope Courtois will be ready for the EPL, cause I don't have much faith in Turnbull.

I believe so. But apparently we've been eyeing up Akinfeev, who I rate.
