Which Players Do You Regret Chelsea Selling?

[Duppy Conqueror 1,526]

Greaves would be number 1. a world class player when we had him who had scored more top flight goals than almost all of the current top flight strikers score in a career by the time we sold him at 21. proof that you don`t need to hold kids back. he went on to remain world class for about 12 years after he left us.

Ray Wilkins another young player who had already been our captain and went onto a long career of greatness.

for the most recent ones ones..a lot have either been at the end of their prime when they left..e.g Joe and Ashley Cole,Lampard,Zola,Essien,Dixon,Petrescu,Ballack etc..

or left for other reasons....players like Robben,De Bruyne,Lukaku..

of the ones currently playing none of them I greatly regret not being here..but if I had to pick two I`d say Robben and De Bruyne,atleast as matchday squad players (I don`t think anyone should be guaranteed a starting spot in our 1st team every game )

Of the 'modern' era, Robben.

From the near past, Gudjohnsen.

From the distant past, Zola.

Why is Sturridge on so few lists? If RdM had kept him around the last few seasons would have been much more bearable.

Like others have said us golden oldies miss Osgood and Hudson who never really played to his potential after he left.

Robben was disappointing to see leave but he was injury prone and a cry baby when tackled hard.

In this era i have to say Mata could still do a job for us and also Bertrand oh for a Left back in the currant squad so Dave could play in his preferred position.

[cfcs most wanted 657]

Lukaku. Thought that he could have been the next DD

Kevin De Bruyne. While it's obvious his mentality wasn't right for our team I feel we should've earned at least more money from his deal.

[Spike 12,049]

Lukaku. Thought that he could have been the next DD

The fact he plays and approaches the game completely differently notwithstanding.

Carvalho. He had a couple of good seasons left in him.

[HRiver 1,512]

I miss Carvalho, proper defender. None of this Ivanovic/Cahill nonsense.

[The Mak 4,459]

Greaves, Wilkins, Walker, Nevin, Wise, Flo, Zola, Thiago, Robben, Cudicini, Ballack, Mata, de Bruyne, Bertrand, Cech.

[BlueLyon 9,359]

Robben. He turned absolutely brilliant. Goalscorer, hardworker. Direct player who would be perfect for Mou team. TOP 3 at some point. Meanwhile we had RW problems for ages.

Also maybe doesnt count as player, but Mourinho in 2007. Who knows what would happen if he stayed...

[BlueStorm1003 539]

Robben, Sturridge, Mata,Cech, Carvalho.

One that might not be as popular is Bertrand. I was delighted with his performance against bayern in the CL final.

[mikeholiday 209]

Loic Remy. I'm from the not so distant future.

[lionsden 4,689]

Robben, Cech,KDB, Bertrand, and sturridge

[Tomo 21,751]

Robben, Cech,KDB, Bertrand, and sturridge

Matic before we got him back was 1000 times worse than any of those.

I know he wouldn't have become as good if he stayed but seeing him put such commanding displays while we had horrendous CM trouble was gut wrenching.

[DYC. 7,542]

Zola should've won the league with Chelsea.

Gudjohnsen never should've been let go. Loved that man with a passion. Watching him play (surprisingly well in a new role) for Barca hurt.

Cole declined but should've stayed and retired a Blue. He's such a dude.

Carvalho. Legend. Genuine defender. Never liked the way he left. So little attention, barely any love. That was cold.
