Roman plans £80m Chelsea spree

All they've done is look at the bloody obvious and print it. But the difference is that they're a newspaper, so people take it for gospel

Hmmm sexy football...Guardiola leaving Barcelona...something fishy I smell. We will see what happens in the summer.

The Sun = Piece of Trash.

Simple as.

Would love to see Rodwell here, Ennglish and large potential. Muller also.

[Wilson 358]

Hamsik and Sanchez please . We don't need a right back. Ivan is the man.

[Madmax 9,219]

Get Prince Harry to play in the hole - he's good behind a front two.

Sun of a bitch

Ivanovic is not a true right back, he looks very uncomfortable pushing up and lacks the speed to cover speedy wingers.

yet he is the best right back we had in years.

[Madmax 9,219]

Before Ivano you'd have to go back to Danny Petrescu if you'd to name a quality RB at Chelsea. I don't want us to spend a truckload on VdW, he's going to be back up anyway. Rather keep Bosingwa/Paulo for one more year and then promote Billy Clifford to the first team.

You're right, he is not the conventional RB but then again, he is a beast, no winger can outmuscle him ( infact out of all the players i think only the 8-feet Christopher Samba of Blackburn can) and with proper positioning it is really hard to get past him, also he plays with his heart and soul. When it comes to attacking, i mean he comes forward and does different combinations on the wing. Only things i can think that are his weaknesses are technique with the ball (dribbling) and he doesen't seem to have the urge to shoot on target though he is one of the free kick takers in Serbian National team - who knows.. plus he offers so much in setplays - offensively and defensively.

Who do we have after there is no Ivan, like an injury??

We had major problems with CB when some injures and out on cards.

Now we have Alex, Terry, David Luiz, and also Ivan who can play CB as well.

If Chelsea sells Bosingwa, and Paulo, then it make sense to have somebody like Van der Wiel. Otherwise, it's a waste of money.

I completely agree, we need a cover for rb position, just stated that Ivan is a great footballer with versatility.

Ivan a good defender, and who puts his heart in the field like Terry. But like Terry they are better at defending then going forward.

I rather have an in form Bosingwa to rival with A. Cole on the side then Ivan.

Ivan is best for CB, IMO.

I mean then again more adventurous RBs that like to attack (Maicon, Alves, Ramos) they all tend to be less competent at defending. Ivanovic is more defensive, which means there is more of a free role for right wingers/ DMFs who cover his position when he is on attack. But i guess there are different types of players with different traits and flaws.

[dodojojo 510]

Mas importante? Creative midfielder and wingers. A midfielder who can dribble away from defenders and who can make the final pass. Yossi and Josh M to backup/rotate. Wingers who actually stay wide, cross and pass.

Everything else is a bonus.

True that.

I guess you can employ a certain player regarding the game and opponent.
