For those interested - Benzema signed a one year contract extension at Lyon and has stated he has no intention of leaving until the summer of 2009.

Swp pizza sidwell all need to go. I think if kakuta keeps playing like that, and he does it

in the reserve team he will be in the first team he is the type of player we need.

Still only 16! Got a few years before the first team calls for him, although undoubtedly a major talent.

I think people are getting a little carried away with Kakuta at the moment. We haven't seen him in enough games yet, and he was more against Villa on Friday, and Birmingham last night.

He is obviously no where near ready for the first team yet.

As for the clear out, I agree with the most - Belletti, Ben-Haim, Sidwell, Pizarro, Malouda, Shevchenko.

Barcelona have bojan who is only 17 in their first team. When you watch gael their are things he has that are much better than most of our frist team already like shot power.

I think 1 more year then throw him in the mix. He is the captain of the french under 17

team by the way.

I think we should get excited about Kakuta, he is a sensational talent come from nowhere!! I have been watching the youths and reserves for years now and he is the best talent i have seen for or against us!

Belletti is a weird one, he can be great or poor, there is no middle ground. Ferreira signing a new contract was an odd one because everyone assumed that we would sign a right back probably Alves, and even Ivanovic plays right back...

better than stoch?

better than stoch?

Stoch at 16 wasn't even close to Kakuta. Stoch now is the bollox and is going to be a top class player. But as far as skill and ability goes Kakuta is better, now he needs to develop in the same way Stoch has and he will be unreal.

I can see Drogba leaving in the summer...

Also Shevchenko will go too.

More summer outs:

Malouda needs to be offloaded, Ben Haim, Sidwell and sadly (as much as I like him) Pizarro. He just hasn't got the skill needed for Chelsea.

Chelsea ins:

Our RBs for next season would be excellent with Alves, Ferreira and Ivanovic. Alex can operate there too. I'd be happy to offload Belletti.

Well according to News of the world (yep they talk to Roman privateltly this days and I cant spell anyho) he's thinking of having a clear out of around 10 players including Lampard and Drogba.Yep that be the reason Drogba goes.Not because he wants to but because Roman says so
