Chelsea plan new signings

14-06-2011

Premier League side Chelsea have plans to sign "two to three" new players to strengthen their side, after last season's unsuccessful campaign that resulted in the sacking of manager Carlo Ancelotti.The club's chief executive, Ron Gourlay, who's visiting Hong Kong, said the process of selecting a new manager was "going well", and could be completed within the next two weeks.

Mr Gourlay added that star players such as Fernando Torres and Michael Essien will be "the first to board the plane" for the Asia Trophy tournament in Hong Kong next month.

Gourlay: Manager hunt nearing end

and a little quote.

"We will announce things in the usual way but hopefully in the next week or two, we'll be in a position to announce who our new coach will be."

We need minimum 3.... but i thought we will buy around 5 new players, and sell minimum 3... interesting.

[zolayes 14,489]

another two weeks preseason training must be starting soon ...2 or 3 players in ...will that include any being left out on loan ...but

the really good news is that ticket sales for the games in asia are going well. guess that was the reason for the statement

[Guest justin_3d]

"As far as players are concerned, the basis of the team will be the same for next season," he added. "There may be an introduction of two or three players. We've identified key players that we'd like to bring to the team, players who can strengthen the team but of course we'll probably have to wait until the new coach is in place."

Same team for next season with only 2 or 3 players coming in.....I think Lukaku is one of them, and maybe Kevin De Bruyne, leaving us with 2 players coming in....

Do i see us getting a new RB, Winger, and Creative midfield? Looks very hard right now, if we only getting 2 or 3 after the new manager comes in.

And most likely the coach is going to be someone we expect, like Guus. If not Guus i would love it to be Marcelo Bielsa!

[Rubber bullets 1,183]

I don't want the same squad with only a few additions. I want a complete change which sees old and/or creaky players like Malouda, Drogba, Anelka, Bosingwa and Essien out and a completly refreshed and vitalised squad with new singnings and some academy players promoted to the first team (Josh, Bertand/Aanholt). Otherwise we will be left behind due to the likes of Drogba and Malouda dragging us down.

[Tomo 21,733]

Im glad i have limited internet access because this is utter torture.

We need more than 3 players in but it wont happen, infact it wont surprise me if we give Malouda and Anelka new 5 year contracts

[Madmax 9,219]

Two wingers and a CAM; that's what I hope for anyway.

[Tomo 21,733]

Day 1 lineup?

GK Cech

RB Ivanovic

CB Alex

CB Terry

LB Cole

CM Essien

CM Lampard

CM Gatuso

ST Anelka

ST Drogba

ST Malouda

SUBS

Hilario

Luiz

Ferreira

Ramires

Beckham

Kalou

Torres

Nothing in terms of Chelsea can surprise me any more.

Whoever comes in now, I hope its someone who knows the players to an extent...it will be irritating to see our players, especially the youngsters, having to prove themselves all over again...

If its Hiddink he will just use Essien, Drogba, Lampard and Malouda for the whole season no matter what.
