Roman plans £80m Chelsea spree

[- 25 - 167]

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.

Bosingwa has to go imo, absolute liability defensively. Like the Clifford shout though.

henderson anyone?

Why do we need a right back? Ivanovic is brilliant there, really solid and (apart from Nani in the 09 CS) i cant think of any winger that has got the better of him in that position and his attacking qualities are also very underrated (ala his run to set up Kalou in the San Siro) we scored goals for fun last season with him the 1st choice RB, its when he went to the center this season they dried up, coincidence?

Agreed mate.......hes consistent at d RB dan CB............hes so solid der.............

Wingers is the main priority and we need 2 of the IMO, please god not Bale, living off the 2 Inter games and the Arsenal and Chelsea ones last season i would want us to stay as far away from his as possible (especially for £40m), Neymar and Sanchez should be the one's we look at and if he is around possibly a return for Rooben aswell.

Pls keep him far away from d bridge......he has a quality widout any doubt but for 40 ml i dont think so its a good deal..........

Ivanovic is good at RB defensively but not attacking wise.

[Blueboy 14]

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.

It has to be said that Ivan is one of our biggest, if not the biggest threat we have with (indirect) set pieces. He always seems to get his head near the ball and has caused a lot of danger in the box with his fysical presence and power when going forward. Have to agree with you he is more of a CB. Way to slow for a RB, especialy when defending against someone like Nani, who can outpace him + his skill is pretty limited.

Mancienne as a back-up for Bane ?

Bane is a fantastic player defensively and a major factor in set pieces,no doubt about that.But,you all keep saying that he is not good enough when it comes to crossing and attacking.Though,nobody mentioned his couple of good runs against Spuds,moving into channels,finding space + he stopped Bale.Definitely,number one RB in Chelsea at the moment.I agree that he must improve especially in that attacking phase and believe that it can and will be done.

Also,he rapped Nani in the league match and was never outplayed by any winger.

If we go out there and buy a RB then we'll have Luiz,JT,Ivanovic,Alex,Bruma and Mancienne in that CB position.So,I say no to Van der Wiel or any other expensive and overrated RB.

£80 million for 52 players?

I would love it.... LOVE IT.... if Roman brought us Aguero!

Bosingwa was immense during his first season here, it's a shame that injury took so much out of him.

[Bir_CFC 3,455]

Ramires can play RB too.

[5354 204]

Guys, be realistic, our academy players defintely wants to be playing first-team football at young age. They would not want to be sitting on the bench.

[BlueLion. 21,491]

We won't buy another striker this summer, I don't think. Mainly because there's no need, we have Sturridge returning, and Torres will be at his best.

[termninja 5,290]

CF not really needed now, winger and a playmaker are a must (unless we give use Josh more, but I'd rather have him on loan next season).

[EskWeston 696]

A lot will depend on the formation that Carlo has in mind for next season. If we are not planning to play 4-3-3 then wingers are not so important, at the moment i wouldn't like to guess what our targets are but it would seem that Neymar is certainly a target for us. We do need to rebuild again this summer and really rebuild giving Carlo the summer to work with a improved squad for a attack on all fronts next season.
