Post your Chelsea team

[Jase 43,479]

No because I rate de Rossi's work as a deep midfielder. Teams usually try and counter-attack Chelsea and so the pivot should be defensively strong. de Rossi edges it over ther others like Modric for that

De Rossi may be defensively strong (and comparing him with Modric is just wrong) but I wouldn't take him especially he has been in poor form for seasons now. And not to mention, he would be someone that commands high wages.

As for Cabaye, it's not like I don't rate Cabaye but I just think there are much better options than him.

Cabaye is an underrated player. Excellent passer and vision in him. Maybe because he just doesn't look flashy or anything like that and people don't really take note of him.

And so much for this eh?

No opinions. No discussion. No transfer fees but don't be very unrealistic like including Bale, Ronaldo. Don't consider confirmed transfers either - Gotze, Moutinho etc.

Well, Alex has never bothered adhering to rules, not when he has the Thor hammer!

And TBF, when you said 'no opinions. no discussion', it could mean that we aren't supposed to have discussion with others, agreeing or disagreeing with them through our own opinions about the team. You were like basically saying we are free to post what we want without thinking/worrying anybody come firing at you.

yeah but you see the effect it had? first 2 pages had a goon no, of teams no discussion started.. If I hadn't put that in the OP? disagreements would start and the whole point of making this thread was to have a consensus on what people think

But that's the purpose of a forum - to have discussion.

Think it's fairly noticeable that most here do not have Terry and Lampard in their choice of starting XI. And this would lead to the question (again), who will be our next captain. Will be interesting to see what Mourinho (or whoever that manager is) does with this situation.
