Not many actually, since we're not a selling a club. Though there is this thing that we'll find it very difficult to replace certain players, not only because of their outstanding quality but also charisma, character, leadership and behaviour on and off the pitch. A lot of time will have to pass until we see a new John Terry, for example.

Joe Cole and Ballack (Chelsea didn't sell them, but still), they are many players in this period (2003-2007) who played a big role in our team and made me a Chelsea fan. Like Duff, Robben, Chrespo, JFH (He was released too, I think), Gudjohnsen.

In the last years: Mata and Danny Sturridge.

But the thing which I most regret Chelsea doind is releasing Lampard.

With regards to Lukaku, I don't think I'll ever regret us selling him.

KbD I wish had stayed, but he was only ever going to be a wide player under Mourinho at best, and if he'd have stayed then we'd probably have gotten rid of Oscar.

I too think that if KbD had stayed, he could have replaced Oscar.

But why do you think we won't regret selling Lukaku? I think when Drogba retires at the end of this season, eventually, we're going to need a striker from the bench. Remy isn't himself enough, he could only be 3rd under the 2nd player we need to buy.

From emotional level there are quite a few, from Ballack, Luiz, Lampard, Carvalho, etc.

From pure footballing level its only Robben. He is one of best players last 5 years and we dont have true RW.

It has to be biggest loss because he would fit us like a glove. He isnt as injury prone anymore, he has speed, long range threat and hard worker.

While we had many other benefits from sales of Luiz,Mata etc (money), Lamps, Ballack, carvalho (age), Robben become too good for just 30m we got. I can only imagine how much more could we win if we had him here.

Im sure he is only player we seriously regret selling. It makes it even worse because we still dont have proper RW (Cuadrado hopefuly).
