Which Players Do You Regret Chelsea Selling?

It's easy to say Robben and Sturridge now in hindsight.

Robben when fit was unplayable, certainly in his first season, but by the third season he had become more inconsistent, more injury prone and less effective. It's largely forgotten that he didn't set Real Madrid alight and his best years have only been in the last 3-4 seasons. I agree it would be phenomenal to have him now but I also agree with selling him at the time we did.

For me the biggest regret has to be Gallas. The 2006/07 season we lost the league simply due to the number of injuries we sustained to our defence (not to mention Cech). Some people may also forget how poor Ashley Cole was in his first season too. Gallas' versatility that season, particularly at centre back, could very well have been the difference in us winning the league that year. It would have been three on the spin and the subsequent seasons after that could have been very different.

Stoch, Johnson, Diarra

[Fernando 6,585]

All the obvious mentioned.

Would like to say that we also lost a lot when sold duff.

We never properly replaced him and that cost us in the following seasons.

[The Skipper 20,609]

Sturridge. I feel like JM would've loved to work with him.

This guy at the time

Arjen Robben and KDB.

[Roquila 1,335]

Raul Meireles.

Has to be Daniel Sturridge. Was a favourite of mine at the club whilst he was here. Was rarely played in his favoured position but he still scored goals for us and is one of the best English talents about. Then when we sold him it just brought on so many striker issues. The main one being Torres. You just have to wonder what if... think he would have been a big success here. Happy we have Diego Costa but it is never pleasing to see big English talents like Sturridge leave the club, especially considering who kept him out of the team.

Arjen Robben, he'd surely added a lot in the 08/09 season and the 10/11 season, we needed his explosivity.

[Nike 373]

Ballack.

Chelsea never had a good overall cm to replace him till Matic came.

[Yeboii 1,844]

Gudjohnsen

[quickpassnmove 924]

I'd go with Robben, Tiago, Duff, Sturridge.

[Ryan Fong 2,776]

I'll name a strange one but I was indeed very disappointed we sold him, Lassana Diarra. He really looked like a new Makelele in the making and the rest is history now.

[dUMB 189]

Sturridge, Luiz.

[Henrique 9,133]

Alex, Ricardo Carvalho and Jimmy Floyd.
