What is Your Chelsea starting line for 2011 season

[Kostas 1,468]

Here's my wish list:

Cech

Bosingwa --- Alex--- Terry --- Cole

Essien

Lampard --- Malouda

Gourcuff

Drogba --- Aguero

Our youngsters would play in the early cup games and replace someone if injured.

I'm sure the likes of Mikel Sturridge Zhirkov Bruma and Ivanovic would be more than enough to rotate our main squad.

Oh and show mr Ferreira the exit,let him take Deco,Carvalho and Hilario with him.

Not sure about Joe or Bally,

Gourcuff

I'd love it if we signed Gourcuff!

[Manuf 1,448]

Here's what I think:

Cech

Bosingwa/Bruma** - Ivanović/Alex - Terry - A. Cole

Essien/Toure*

Lampard Kakuta**

Stoch**/Aguero - Drogba - Malouda/Anelka

*If we signed Toure, Essien would go up front with Lamps

**Let them play like 30 minutes and sometimes start just to give them a little more experience

Players to leave:

Hilario (Move Turnbull for 2nd goalkeeper and Delac as 3rd option)

Ferreira (Hutchinson in his place)

Belletti (Bruma in his place)

Ballack (buy Toure)

Deco (let Essien/Kakuta play in midfield)

J. Cole (let Stoch/Kakuta play instead of him as dynamic subs)

Carvalho (switch between Ivanovic and Alex)

[Cameron 30]

Cech Bosingwa Ivanovic Terry A.Cole Mikel Essien Lampard Anelka Drogba Malouda.

LOL I think with his and Ancelotti's history it won't be happening!

Bit of a blank on that... care to elaborate?

Gourcuff played at Milan when Ancelotti was manager and Ancelotti couldn't find a place in his team for him and was critical of him, so he loaned him out then sold him.

[Kostas 1,468]

Good point,it's a shame though as he really is a cracking player.

Just a thought,maybe he was sold to cover Milan's debt.

Ancelotti said Gourcuff had psychological issues, so I doubt it. haha

[Badboy 1,526]

We don't need Gourcuff anyway with kakuta and josh we have 2 very special playmakers.

[Kostas 1,468]

Chelsea has so far lost 2 homegrown players(Joe Cole,Stoch) and our main aim in the transfer period will be to comply with the new UEFA rules.

We have 2 options,we will either buy young talented players like Sturridge and Miller or we will be forced to use some of our Academy players.

Stoch's departure may not necessarily mean that none of our youth players shall will make it.

[BlueLion. 21,491]

We now NEED to sign some English players. If Milner comes I'd be overjoyed but I can't see us outbidding City.

[NoFear 23]

Yup, Milner is someone I would luv to see as well... But matching City's price mite be a huge stumbling block what with AV demanding more than 30m !!!
