Marco van Ginkel

moving soooo much faster than mikel

...and Lampard, Terry etc.

Talent rises to the top. Fingers crossed Van Ginkel can come back and fire on all cylinders.

Hope he'll recover well from his injury he impressed me a lot during pre-season and made me sad to see him being unlucky with this injury but lets hope it'll only make him stronger and he'll be back on the pitch in no time

[Jase 43,479]

hopefully the injury wont effect him as much as it did Essien...

Don't think it would considering Van Ginkel's game or strengths are not the same like Essien where it mainly lies on physical abilities and stamina rather than technical qualities. And moreover, Essien became the player he is now because of the number of injuries he had subsequently with ACL. MvG should be fine as long as nothing serious happens after this with the injury. *fingers crossed* Azpi had an ACL injury too in 2010 when he was at Marseille and recovered well after that.

Everytime such a thing cross my mind, I immediately think of Ramsey. Inspiring recovery.

Doesn't take away from the fact that he plays for a shit side and manager.

When is he expected to be back in full training?

Arrival of Matic does not sound good for him

I don't think it affects him too much. Essien and Frank will probably be gone by the time he comes back from injury. Ramires, Matic, Mikel, MVG for next season sounds pretty good.

That said, I have no idea if he'll return as good as before after an injury like the one he's had.

Romeu had same injury and seems to be doing pretty well at Valencia I think both he and MVG will be great for us next year in a rotation element

Matic and Van Ginkel are completely different kind of players who can easily play together in the pivot so I wouldn't worry too much. Lampard's on his last legs, Essien is about to leave and I strongly suspect that either Mikel or Romeu will probably move on this summer as well. If he makes a full recovery from the ACL and impresses Jose once he's back in full training, I have no doubt he will be a big part of the club's future.

Matic, Ramires, Van Ginkel and one of Mikel / Romeu would be a great selection of central midfielders in my opinion. Would offer many different combinations of players whose qualities compliment each other, for example Matic - Ramires and Mikel - MvG etc.

Why?

Oh right, forgot about Romeu. He's been doing so well at Valencia despite not exactly having the best of luck there. He deserves a shot next season.

[Mouri_Matic 560]

Chelsea career over? CDM is never gonna be rotated and if he wants to be starter eventually, he would be disappointed. Matic and Ramires will play all the time now, well 85% of the time anyway. Hope if we sell him in the future we include a buy back clause because he could be the next Matic.

[5354 204]

Like the post above, definitely Ramires will be in CM slot.

There are only 2 slots for CM, considering we spent so much money to bring back Matic, defintely he will slot in into CM (to allow Ramires to attack).

van Ginkel is likely to rotate with Ramires.

As of Romeu.... most likely a backup? I really do not see a role for him unless he impressed himself at Valencia or some other clubs.

Great but is he practising diving ,

Intriguing to see what kind of role he will play next season - Frank will be gone (or even a coach? ), Essien's gone, and there still could be the outing of Mikel also. With him, Matic and Romeu (??) battling it out for the placement alongside Rambo, would be nice to see which one plays best alongside him

I don't think Romeu will be much competition for Matic.
