This could end like last summer

[EskWeston 696]

We already have Lampard, Drogba & Joe Cole who are all capable of this and who have proven they are capable of this. Yes most of our star players are ageing, but we have some seriously talented young players, people forget about Mikel, Kalou, Stoch, Kakuta, Bosingwa is only 25, Joe Cole 27, Zhirkov is 25, Essien 26 I think, so we have young players, I think we should rather bring in players who we can develop into word class players like we have done with Zhirkov

Joe Cole is the nearest we have to the "creative" type player. Lampard and Drogba are special players who can do incredible things but not the sort of player that i think we are lacking.

Our main problem is that our attacking line is getting older. Drogba and Anelka especially. Plus we never really in the same way replaced Robben and Duff, the way they played absolutely terrorised oposition teams and we have not had that since and that is what we are looking for.

That's all true and yes, Lampard, Drogba and Cole are all fantastic players. But either Ribery or Pato or Aguero are all different classes. They can aspire after The world player of the year award in the future, especially Pato and Aguero, and that would mean so much.

I would love to see either Aguero or Pato at Chelsea , though I dont think Chelsea are short up front. Nobody really knows how Ancelotti will set up the team yet and what formation he will play. Personally though I would like to see another top class central midfielder at the club. Im not high on Ballack and if we got somebody like say De Rossi it would give John Obi Mikel some time to develop as a player.

People like Di Santo are unproven at the club because they haven't been playing enough games. I would seriously let Di Santo go out on loan, solely to gain Premier League experience.

To answer the question "do we need a marquee signing"... Yes!

Aguero, Tevez, Ribery or Pato would be the ideal signing in this category. Drogba is a goalgetter for us, but he's no Thierry Henry or Fernando Torres IMO. We need a striker who is young and can score a lot of goals, and a lot of vital winners as well, when we really need it.

Although Tevez might be the only player we won't get because Man City already have one hand on him at the moment.

My thought that we really should be watching to buy one brilliant footbaler and he must be young not more then 24....We really must have somebody that world will talk about his skills and that he must love CFC!!

[warnie_666 1,081]

Yes. People are talking about Ribery. But we cant just blindly get Ribery, just cus we need one Star signing. We have Malouda and Zirkov Already.

We must aggresively go for Aguero/Tevez. With that I mean a Second Striker. My choice would be Aguero this season. He is only 21 has enough time to settle in Premier League.

Next season, Anelka would be 31 and Drogba 32, Sell one of them and buy Pato.

Give the Aguero/Pato Partnership a season or two to blossom into one of the most top Strike pair in Europe. To give them competition we have Di Santo and Sturridge. By then we may also have Kakuta and Stoch in the first team. They all are almost of the same age. And we may have a young talented Attack.

This is what I want to see in 3-4 years, for which we should start buying the young stars from now on. Aguero now and Pato next season.And Dzagoev after that. Just go for them one by one every season.

Strikers: Aguero, Pato, Di Santo, Sturridge

Wingers: Kakuta, Stoch, Aguero, may be one more winger for competition.

Midfield : Essien, Mikel, Dzagoev, Mellis, Woods, Lampard

LB: Zhirkov, Bertand

CB: Terry, Ivanovic, Alex, Mancienne

RB: Bosingwa, Mancienne

GK: Cech, Turnball, Sebek.

This is the team I want to see in the next three seasons. Lively Young attack, Experience and young legs in the midfield and Experience at the back.

We need depth in our squad, be it young players or a blockbuster name such as Ribery or Sneijder.

[chelsea_4_eva 1,180]

i would just be happy if Chelsea bought sneijder or van der vaart......

i don't really want Chelsea to sign ribery too expensive and he's 26......

and as much as it hurts me to say this but i think Chelsea will sign pato next season because Milan would never let him go after letting kaka go .....(but i'm still praying for a miracle)....

Warnie im afraid Wood's has just signed for Leyton Orient today, so thats one midfielder out of your dream team (which, by the way, i love the look of). I dont want Ribery either...Too expensive, especially when we can get younger arguably more talented players for less. And its not what Chelsea need with Joe Cole returning to fitness...We need that creative second striker...The Rooney role. That why id say go for Aguero because to me he fits that role the best out of him or Pato....Dont get me wrong there bot incredible players, but i think Pato played as a main striker last year. We would be paying the same price for Aguero's buy out clause as the amount of money we are throwing at A.C. Milan as they make us look silly playing games with us...They wont sell him unless its rediculously high...Probably the same as our final "take it or leave it" Ribery bid.....A player who doesnt want to play in England because of the climate. Aguero wants to play for us, his chairman will let him go if the offer is met...Its just his reportadly high wage demands that stalled talks with him before. Just meet his funking demands, we all know he'd be worth it. Its time for Chelsea to show some transfer market bollocks and take the superstar risk...We all know it would pay off, he has the final quality to make our team THE best in the world. And when Drogba throws a sulk next season he can leave, Anelka will probably go elsewhere, and then we have Sturridge and Di Santo (with his premiership experience from a hopefully soon to go through loan move to Blackburn where fat sam could definatly get the most out of a target man striker as he always does). Sorry for writing so much...Ill STFU now

Probably be Robbie Fowler.

:lol:

Its not Woods Its Jimmy Smith who signed for them. And my dream team is still on.

MY BAD! Bring on the dream Warnie! (i hope not wet.....). Man U are after Aguero now....Supposedly offering £30 Million and NANI for him....Which the chairman has rejected the offer and then claimed that there wasnt any kind of offer and an offer like that WOULD be rejected anyway. Looks like flakey Ferguson cant afford him..BUT WE CAN....Buy out clause for the win! Dooo it R.A.
