Im not worried what so ever about the lack of transfers at this moment and time , even without bringing in players we still have a good side .

I have faith in AVB and in him getting the best out of what we have in place also in introducing some youth/energy into the squad.

We need players like Anelka,Drogba,Kalou,Malouda,Lampard giving it there all again , the all looked uninterested last season for what ever reason.

Torres as poor a season he had , gave a 110% in every game which was refreshing to see.

There is arguably competition for every spot on the pitch ( A lot of the youths I am counting into this)

I dont think AVB will have the usual untouchables stance with the like of Lampard and CO and every man on the pitch will have to earn his space on the team sheet.

In terms of creativity, we have a great little player by the name of Gael Kakuta which given a really good crack of the whip will make it, an absolute shame this U-20 world cup was on this season and he has basically missed all the pre season.

Just on what someone posted on affellay, would not of minded a sneaky bid on him especially for the money thats been talked about.

Chelsea dont need a radical over haul just a few tweaks to the engine.

IMO we should not be going out and buying 3-6 new players every season , one or two new faces would keep the balance correct.


Terry - Brumma
Ashley - PVA or RB
Ivan- Magney,Clifford,Rajkovic, Chalobh
Alex- Luiz or any of the above
Paulo - (dead wood needs to be gone )any of the above
Essien-Luiz or Conor Clifford for the future, Ramieres,Mikel
Lampard- Josh
Anelka-Mellis,Kalou,Kakuta,Zhirkov
Drogba-Danny Stur,Mitrovic

As I said just phase out one or two of the older player year by year and we will fine.

No drastic changes required , nothing to see here

Sorry have to disagree. Some of the kids simply arent good enough or are light years away from being ready
We DO need drastic surgery to win the league, and not just challenge for it.

I can just hear Mourinho commenting on us in the Champions League
"It is still my team" "No problem, I know how to beat them"

We dont seem to be able to attract or seal the deal like we used to (Reports in france that Pastore prefers PSV) And are now linked with Parker, Johnson FFS.
The oldies wont be able to play every game to a high level and AVB has said he will rotate, but I say again, rotate with who exactly?

Why, just because he is a winger? Why is he not a nailed on starter for Man City then?

13 Some neat play by Chelsea results in Lampard picking out Malouda on the left. The French winger sidefoots it across goal first time but no-one is there to get the final touch.

12 Chelsea win a right-wing corner but Benayoun's delivery doesn't clear the man at the near post and the Israeli midfielder gives away a free-kick trying to make amends.

11 Frank Lampard hits a low shot from distance which is gathered low to the Kitchee keeper's right.

10 Lively start by the hosts. Can they maintain this effort and give Chelsea a thorough examination? What are you expecting from Andre Villas-Boas' side today? Let me know your views at ben.collins@bskyb.com

9 Salomon Kalou is rightly flagged offisde from Frank Lampard's diagonal ball.

HT 1-0 to chelsea, lamps penalty

Kalou hit the woodwork also

Good performance, attack against defence really, good tempo and should be more goals in this game for us.
