Bosingwa - Ivan - JT - Cole

Subs:

Ferreira - Alex - Bruma - Zhirkov

Works fine for me.

Yup me too, quality cover therem and can add Hutchinson and Van Aanholt as full back cover options too.

[BlueLion. 21,491]

Spot on. In addition you've got the versatility of our players; Alex and Ivanovic can swap, Ivan can play brilliantly at right-back and we've seen Bosingwa has the ability to play as a left-back, and so does Ferreira. We have some brilliant utility defenders which makes our defence so strong. The thing I worry about is a lack of similar depth up front and in the midfield.

Definitely Chelsea legend, no doubt about it. He did an awesome job for Chelsea Football Club and deserves a massive thank you. Goodbye Riccy and best of luck in the future!

^^ Yup !! No more additions to the defense needed IMO... And like i said in the 1st page, Im sure this deal was done to make space for a foreign player to be brought in.. If we go with the Times, it seems to be Ozil...

Good luck Riccy, a Chelsea legend and no doubt will be missed.

€8 m is not a good deal for one of the best defenders in the business. €!

I just mean for his age and the fact he didnt play as much last season.

Was a brilliant defender, sad to see him leave, he will be a great success in the Spanish league.

We should sell Ferreria. He had a good game in Community Shield though.

£6m for a 32 year old defender who hasn't got his heart with us anymore. Delighted.

[Kez 2,727]

Absolutely quality for us, fantastic defender and leaves the club a legend. I think this is the right time for him to leave

Thanks for everything Riccy and good luck.

Goodbye Carvalho

[Blueboy 14]

Legend. Thanks for all that Riccy. Was about time we let him go though, 32 years, wants to be somewhere else, 6 million pounds. No complaints

Horrible news! I really wanted us to keep him. But in all fairness, you can't keep a player who has ambitions elsewhere.

get a bid for David Luiz prepared!

Please tell me more about the future
