[chrismada9 1,948]

My list of certanties to be heading out of Chelsea this summer are the following...

- Deco (to Brazil, probably to Corinthians)

- Michael Ballack (linked with a reunion with Jose at Inter Milan apparently)

- Paulo Ferreira (maybe a return to Portugal or to a mid-Premier League club like Aston Villa or Man City)

- Belletti (might return to Spain or go to Brazil)

- Hilario (shocking displays lately, (Man City at home) could return to Portugal)

---------

List of players who I want to stay at Chelsea

- Joe Cole (don't give a shit how bad his form is, he has blue blood and I really see him seeing his future ending with us. Just need to get his contract sorted)

- Florent Malouda (Probably the best man on form at the moment, he is on fire!! Deserves a contract at the end of the season definitely. Saw one article that he was linked with Juventus.)

- JT - (He's probably had a woeful season, and has done very silly things, but he is still the backbone of our side and HE WILL pick up his best again.)

- Frank Lampard - (Another part of our backbone, unsellable)

- Michael Essien - (Injuries have ruined this season for him, but I still rate him as a player and I want to see him playing for Ghana at the World Cup, unsellable)

----------

List of players who I want Chelsea to sign

- Sergio Aguero - (If he joined us, I'd be a very happy man! I would quite happily save up and get his name on the back of the new Chelsea shirt when it comes out)

- Kim Källström - (Probably won't happen, but I would love to see a Swedish player in the Chelsea team )

- Alexandre Pato - (Sign up this dude only if we can't get Aguero!)

----------

List of players who I want Chelsea to bring in from the academy

- Gael Kakuta - (This guy really has promise, I watched him play against APOEL at home this season and he was exceptional, set up Essien's goal in that came. Reminds me of a French Theo Walcott)

- Miroslav Stoch - (Bring him back from FC Twente! He's an exceptional player!)

- Fabio Borini - (Not seen much of him, but most people reckon he's pretty good!)

[Term-X 7,891]

- Joe Cole (don't give a shit how bad his form is, he has blue blood and I really see him seeing his future ending with us. Just need to get his contract sorted)

so you want to keep him for sentimental reasons

he is taking us hostage with his wage demands.. i'd rather give kakuta the wages he wants than give them to joe cole.

[chrismada9 1,948]

Joe Cole is English!! We have to keep the English core in our squad!!

[Luke 60]

I agree with most of what you said. I'd like to keep Joey Cole, but only at a reasonable wage. I've heard Pato can be had for about 43m, so I'd take him over Aguero, who's said to cost about 50-55m. But either one would be a great signing. As far as Essien goes, as much as I want to see him play for Ghana in the World Cup (my mate's mum is from Ghana, so I have a soft spot for the Black Stars,) I think it's essential that he gets to full fitness for next season. Unfortunately, it might mean missing the World Cup. But he's one of our best players when healthy, so he might have to choose.

[NattyBlue 44]

Carlo said today that Van Aanholt, Bruma, Matic, Le Kak and Borini will all be in the squad next season

I don't know what to do with Mancienne at the moment, he wants to come back now I think and has had a good season in his new role. But McCarthy said he isn't Chelsea level at the moment and that's probably true as well in the DMF position but the boy does really well.

Deco out - Brazil

Ballack out - as said above, Inter or back to Germany I think

Anelka out = No Idea but I don't see him staying, because he's a club hopper, who knows

Belleti out - dunno but I see him going

Joe Cole should be kept...dunno about his wages, good stance for the club to take but the wrong player to do it with.

Signings

Pato would be nice

But I haven't followed much other leagues this season as I usually do, lots of people say we're linked with Hamsik and that Di Maria fellow

[We Hate Scouse 10,287]

7 Out

Hilario - Past it

Carvalho - Injury prone

Belleti - Wants to leave

Deco - Wants to leave

Ferriera - Past it

Ballack - Past it

Anelka - Correct me if I'm wrong, but there were rumours that a first team player had dropped out of 2010/2011 kit photo shoot because they were leaving for another club and I can't remember seeing Anelka in any of the photos for the new kit?

7 In

Aguero

Matic

Where on earth has he said that?

[We Hate Scouse 10,287]

Where on earth has he said that?

Well if he hasn't said that, everything changes! I was going on what Luke said. Although I still like the look of my squad.

[Badboy 1,526]

- Gael Kakuta - (This guy really has promise, I watched him play against APOEL at home this season and he was exceptional, set up Essien's goal in that came. Reminds me of a French Theo Walcott)

He is so different from theo walcott its crazy, kakuta is an attacking midfield player with pace skill and vision. Theo walcott runs in staright lines and is a lot poorer technically than kakuta.

[kakuta44 16]

well i think we will see a lot more of kakuta next year

but in order for us to get aguero and give kakuta , stoch some playing time which are two great playmakers/wingers ..... we must let kalou and joe cole at least leave if not even anelka ..... because we already have malouda who is exceptional and i don't think anyone will replace him and if we bring in aguero to play on the right (a player that can change Chelsea from one of the best to the only best ) then you can't have kalou joe cole and anelka waiting for chances ..... and afterthat the youngster will come ......

so if carlo is really planning on giving the academy players thier chances i think we can say goodbye to joe cole and kaloy or may be anelka .........

also ballack looks like if he certainly gonna leave as well as belleti and fererra .... but deco might stay i think ancelotti has always praised him and talked about how he help the team to keep position .... i would love to see another quality midfielder coming instead of him but for me looks like it's not gonna happen ....

but overall looks like we are gonna be more fresh and solid next year and that ancelotti noticed how much do we need young blood and pace in the team ..... so we can say so far so good ....

but if we don't sign aguero specially after his last words of his will to come here i will be very dissapointed and i will call that a very unsuccessful transfer period even if we get pato balotelli ribery and all those rumors the only one that i care about is aguero because he is the only one that deserves the amount of money asked for him ....

[BlueLion. 21,491]

I don't think we need wholesale changes at all. We certainly need to get rid of some of the older players, but we already have the foundations of what could be a very promising future with some of the players we have coming through the Youth team and Reserves.

'Out with the old, in with the new,' I say.

Out

Deco - inconsistent. Past his best, but brilliant on his day - his day isn't often enough though.

Ballack - as above.

Hilario - has always been reliable but we need someone better to challenge Petr Cech.

Belletti - as much as I would like him to stay, it would appear he won't be offered a new contract.

Carvalho - we have better options. A Chelsea great, but he is past his best unfortunately.

Joe Cole - I don't want him to leave, but does he deserve a new contract? Not in my opinion. No point keeping him for sentimental reasons. He's 29 this summer and will never recapture his best form in my opinion. So we have a choice; keep him, or let Kakuta and Stoch - our two biggest talents - show what they're made of.

In

Sergio Aguero - I don't think I need to justify this selection, his talent is obvious.

Angel di Maria - I'm not sure whether we need him - but if we lose Cole this summer he'd be an obvious replacement. However it may deny GK44 and Stoch from showing their worth.

From the Academy

Matej Delač - already signed.

Gael Kakuta - promote from academy. Definitely needs more game time.

Patrick van Aanholt - promote from academy.

Ryan Betrand - promote from academy - but maybe loan to a PL team.

Jeffrey Bruma - promote from academy.

Michael Mancienne - not strong enough for CB, in my view. However he's shown his versatility at RB and CDM and is a bright prospect.

Sam Hutchinson - promote from academy.

Fabio Borini - promote from academy - but send out on loan.

Nemanja Matic - needs more game time.

Miroslav Stoch - probably our biggest asset along with Kakuta.

That would give us a really strong squad in my view.

[Manuf 1,448]

What do you think about for example Gokhan Tore? He has shown some skill in FA Youth Cup matches from what I've seen on the videos.

[Cameron 30]

He's still some way off being good enough for the first team.

[Manuf 1,448]

I'm not talking about first team, but how about reserves and sometimes bench and maybe in 2 years time he could start from time to time.

[zolayes 14,489]

Where on earth has he said that?
