inter finished 9th last season in serie A which is atrocious for them

the core of players who won the champions league have either left and havent been replace properly or are old and injury prone.

the fact that there isnt really any inter players i would want at chelsea (except kovacic) says it all really.

He was best and most consistent player for inter last season in my opinion...

What? Sorry, but not even close. My best friend who I spend about 12 hours a day with is probably the biggest Inter fan in world. So I watched almost every single one of their matches last season and probably know more than the average Inter fan about them. Guarin was decent when played centrally. Physically very good. He was a bit like Meireles was to us. He chased the ball around relentlessly and put in some tackles in defense and used his pace to take the ball forward in in attack. Strama also integrated his powerful shot into their system. But when he was played on the wings, he was simply terrible and offered little to nothing to the team.

Even at CM, he was good but far from great and certainly not their best player. He lacks creativity and technical ability. I'd say, when he was fit, Cassano was probably their best player. Palacio at times carried the team all by himself and Kovasic did extremely well in the second half of the season and is currently by far their most important player.

Which position should Bane play now that Azpi's back? Should they be rotated or is there a possibility that Azpi would be the first-choice RB? I definitely wouldn't mind if Bane still played a larger role at CB when Azpi's available, because he made it his stronghold in the the games where Terry was injured.

Azpi is a better RB, but Jose said he saw Ivanovic as a RB. So god knows which he will play.

I think we'll see Ivanovic play quite a lot in both RB and CB throughout the season, depending on rotations and the games that we are playing in. We are not really well stocked with quality in both areas.

Lukaku is our #9 this year.

Torres will not get a run like he used to. Actually I think JM might try the Hernandez-Rooney trick with lukaku taking most of the bodies off the line for Torres to sneak behind.

Also- mata will not play traditional #10 role. He will play more outside but able to roam.

Honestly, I think Azpi will be a contender for player of the year. That guy just puts in 110% every game. Even if he is having an off game, you never see him not hussle.

Rant over. Haha

Fullbacks never get player of the year awards.

I figure this might be a good spot to introduce myself as I will be attending this match. This will be the first time I'm seeing Chelsea in person and I couldn't be more excited. Hopefully I will end up with some good photos to post here.

I have previously been following a different Chelsea forum, but decided to leave due to some really poor attitudes. I've been lurking here for a little while and it looks to be a good spot to start discussing the squd with some other Blues fans.

I have high hopes for this season and I look forward to sharing the experience with all of you. KTBFFH
