    If I could have anyone... anyone at all reagardless of how likely they'd be to come... Carvalho. Since I'm a Liverpool fan - normally, it'd be Joe Cole, but he does appear a bit too injury prone, otherwise he'd slot in on the left nicely for us.

    Joe Cole for me.

    Malouda, or Joe cole or wright - philips

    They would do well at Arsenal


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 41,077 ✭✭✭✭Xavi6


    Can we have The Elk back please?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,228 ✭✭✭Chardee MacDennis


    joe cole and wayne bridge for liverpool please!

    Wright Phillips would be more than welcome at Anfield too :)


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 10,259 ✭✭✭✭Melion


    Joe Cole and SWP


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 379 ✭✭King John V


    Wayne Bridge and Steve Sidwell for Sunderland.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 499 ✭✭Beanmachine


    Essien and Carvalho Chelsea's two best players this year in my opinion.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,529 ✭✭✭Im_No_Superman


    Would have to be Essien and Drogba for me. As much as I dislike Drogba he would be immense in the current Utd team imo.

    Essien by a country mile. Also, as a Newcastle fan, I wouldn't be too upset to see John Terry mentor young Taylor.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,784 ✭✭✭redzerdrog


    if being realistic then it would be wayne bridge for liverpool


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,480 ✭✭✭wheres me jumpa


    As a United fan there are many players I would like to see at OT but in terms of what we need, Essien and Drogba are the only players United would need from Chelsea imo.

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 28,128 ✭✭✭✭Mossy Monk


    Drogba

    As a Chelsea fan first, I don't really know where the clearout rumours are coming from. As a Juve fan second Carvalho although I've got to say that all the non Liverpool fans are mad not to say Cech


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,103 ✭✭✭estebancambias


    Ballack

    nah - Nani will be as good as him, if not better.

    Would go Drogba, then Essien myself. Drogba would be a brilliant signing for United, exactly what we need. Essien is the best combative midfielder in the world imo - would be great beside Anderson.

    Great though Cech is - United don't need a keeper, so why would we go for him? best defensive record in the league, van der Sar has been brilliant this season and i have very high hopes for Foster.

    either of their RB's that Essien plays in their position ahead of would do nicely at Villa (Belleti or Ferreira) where once Olaf leaves we wont have a RB (although hes more of a CB anyway).


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,103 ✭✭✭estebancambias


    Oh and I forgot would love to see Sheva playing for Roma...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,617 ✭✭✭✭PHB


    Who would I take from Chelsea?

    Cech obviously. He hasn't been better than VDS this year, but in the long run, he's gona give you 10 more years of top quality.
    Carvalho instantly. IMO better than Vidic. Possibly even better than Ferdinaind.
    Then I'd take Essien instead of Fletcher.
    I'd take Drogba to provide us that alternative up front.
    I'd take Ashley Cole, who I think if he played for us, would be better than Evra is. Currently he's worse, but that's because he's in a stupid system.
    Kalou I think is a cracking prospect and wouldn't be too sad to have him on our books.


    However, Chelsea will never sell to anybody they see as a threat. They sold Diarra to Arsenal cause they thought Arsenal weren't going to be a huge issue in the title race imo, how wrong they were :)

    I like this post, not because I agree, but because its 'dangerous':D

    Why not - Nani is more effective as a player now then Joe Cole was at the same age. I see no reason to think Nani can't be a better winger then Cole is.

    Prem stats

    Nani - 3 goals and 8 assists
    Cole - 7 goals and 5 assists

    Wow - Cole is clear far too good for Nani to ever compare to.

    Lol i disagree with so much in this post i had to quote it!! aye,very dangerous as esteban said

    personally i would have
    Cech
    Essien
    Drogba
    i would say Ballack but i feel he is too old now to be signing.

    They dont have many players we need really but i wouldnt mind having those 3 on the books!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,692 ✭✭✭Loomis


    United fan -
    Cech in a heart beat.
    Carvalho but I don't think we need him. It'd be tough leaving one person on the bench from Vidic, Ferdinand and Carvalho. I wouldn't want Terry cause he's a...bad word.
    Essien. Not sure how we'd set the midfield up though.
    Drogba would be brilliant in the team I think but I wouldn't want him cause he's also a bad word. A much worse one than Terry.
    The only one I think we need though is Cech


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 17,122 ✭✭✭✭Nalz


    Cech, Essien and Joe Cole

    just em NO!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,121 ✭✭✭✭chopperbyrne


    West Brom are soon to be in the Premiership and from Chelsea we would need Essien, Bridge, Cole, Carvalho, Drogba, Lampard, Terry, Ballack, Schevchenko, Cole, etc, etc.....

    Basically we'd take almost any Chelsea players we could get our hands on!

    90% of the time, Stats are bull**** every time.

    Players cannot be judged on stats alone, a quick glimpse of assist and scoring charts can tell you that Tauren. A lot of players with better scoring and assist rates than these two lads-but not better players. Cole is a far far far far superior player to Nani.

    Nani:6 assists and 3 goals.
    Cole:6 assists and 7 goals.

    according to PL.com
