New Season

[oman43 45]

Think its safe to say we need to look forward to next season, HOWEVER we can't forget with a good performance tomorrow and prehaps a bit of luck against Barca, this season could be very successful with the squad we have. But I think Chelsea are concentrating on next season, look at the early Kit launch? I personally think we will be great next season with a fresh feel to the squad, because people like drogba will have left. A new Kit, a new start, a new era !

Comparing to Mikel, Romeu was superior. Look at interceptions and clearances, the guy is beast.

About vision, no DM has some special vision, that be Mvila, Martinez or Romeu. But I bet, if Romeu would play as much as Martinez, he would be better

You want spanish players, but Romeu who is promising talent, you would sell. If we were playing him regulary this year, he would be equal to Martinez next year. +he is only 20.

Dude what you talking about?

Romeu is a product of Barcelona academy, that Barcelona sold to us with a buy back clause. They can get him this summer or next summer.

So with that in mind, putting all our hopes in Romeu is a very risky business.

AVB told that romeu will be sold only if club will want to. Could also be fact of played games. That might be reason, he doesnt play much.

If we keep him, we build with him, if he goes, we buy new dm. For now he is here and I count on him.

[KonohasOrangeFlash 2,607]

Heh I would go for same, except Modric for Lavezzi and DM. We actualy dont need two top wingers. Guys once you say to be realistic, next time you dream of two top wingers? Come on, what about Sturridge and Ramires? Danny has to play rw and use Ramires for replacement. On lw use Hazard and KDB as backup. Also KDB/Lamps as backup for Mata who should be cam. Then go for Modric, who can defend and keep the ball and pass it forward. If Modric plays as DM along Mikel, Romeu or Essien that would be great because Modric and Mata would pass great and there is also Hazard

But:

You will never get Hazard for 30mio but 40.

And Javi Martinez for 15? You kiddin me? Bilbao told he can go, but 30mio is release clause. Maybe they would sell him for less to other clubs, but to us, they know we have money and they will want maximum.

That means 120mio not 95. After all we have not been linked with Javi at all. Modric, Hazard, Hoilett and Azpi wont be bad.

I can understand that you dont count on drogba, kalou, malouda, but romeu, ramires, danny are still very good players that should play. With rami and danny on rw, why should we go for another winger if we dont need him? lw (hazard) is more problematic and creative midfielder (modric). i would go for dm aswell, but it would cost too much. depend on money. Javi is destructive player and goes rarely in attack. Modric is different. If we would attack more, maybe essien could find his old form again. For him playing along modric could be much better.

Sturridge should not be playing RW anymore, especially if Drogba leaves. That would mean Sturridge can play CF. I don't know why you're saying Ramires is a Winger...He is not. He is a midfielder and i don't know why RDM continues to Play Ramires as a RW. The ONLY times he should be playing on the wings is when we need extra help to deal with a player like bale or someone on the right side. So taking that all into account we have no right wingers lol. And 2 top wingsrs are alot more deadly than 1. Back in the day we had Robben and Dufff, today ManUre have Nani and Young, Munich have Robben and Ribery, Madrid have CR7 and Di Maria, Barca had Villa and Sanchez earlier in the year. You get the point

His buy back clause activates after next season and that too only if Romeu wishes to rejoin Barca. If we don't play him here, obviosly he's gonna want to go back. Also, we have him til next season atleast, why not use him? Defies all logic really. Risky or not, i say make hay while the sun shines

Danny and Torres cant play both as strikers. We wont go 442, therefore danny will have to be winger and torres striker. lukaku as backup.

if we get hazard, he could play on both wings. i know ramires is not winger, but could also be used there. and our priority is lw, creative midfielder and rb. no real chance we could get rw aswell, possibly top class. there is just no money for him...

I think I mentioned this couple months ago, Danny will not play as CF. With one striker system, you need a striker who can hold the ball and link up with other player. These are not danny strength, he is a runner so he should stick on playing on the wing.

Lukaku should go on loan, Drogba should leave. That leaves us with only Torres than... So Sturridge should be fighting for that CF spot with Torres. You keep saying LW is priority, no, BOTH wings are priority. Again like I said Ramires is not a winger, he should not play there.

If we do play 4-2-3-1 next season then Ramires will have to play as a defensive midfielder and he's not really effective as one plus I don't want the club to ruin yet another capable midfielder and force him to play as a cdm.Unless the formation changes,I don't see Ramires playing as cm,a role he prefers and plays well in,

Well IMO we should sell Ramires, he doesn't really excel in anything other than running fast.

That should be our last option.4-2-3-1 is really helping Torres but how much can we compromise for just one player.The next manager will have to make serious decisions regarding our formation and Torres.Other center forward alternatives such as Sturridge and Lukaku can play with another striker so a 442 could be ideal but since Lukaku will get loaned out and with Drogba leaving,we will definitely be in the market for another cf.

If you ask me,I really think Chelsea should sell Torres in the summer.I know not many will agree with me but hear me out.He has shown some glimpses of his old form and this has resulted in some interest from other top clubs.There is always the possibility of him performing better next season but what if he doesn't.All of us have shown great support for him so far and I am sure we will continue to do so but his departure will benefit both parties.Then again,its highly unlikely that Roman will let Torres leave so who knows what may happen but I just hope he will let him leave.

Not saying Torres is a problem but he's also not a solution to our goal scoring problems.

I'm all for letting Torres go. He will never be the same as before. If we could get a decent Amount for him i'd replace him with Cavani.

yes another good point,its time we sell and then buy.This summer exodus can be regarded as an exception as many are leaving out on a free transfer.It will be acceptable to spend little more than we get for other transfer market but a deficit of more than 20m will be far too much and yet quite a great achievement for us considering we spend 10x what he sell.

[KonohasOrangeFlash 2,607]

When you really think about it, most of the players in our team are not great and slightly medicore...how did we get to this point...

absolutley no way in hell should sturridge be playing CF!!!! annoying that people say this surely you understand why he is on the wing?
