Sell azpilicueta? are yall MAD? he have that rb position on lock, all he needs to do is work on the accuracy of his crossing.

we do need another striker, ba is not for chelsea and torres cant do it alone. i dont support splashing all that cash for falcao or cavani though. we could keep lukaku.

courtois has to stay on loan until we ready for him full time. if he comes back he will eat bench and he wont be too happy bout that.

kdb>marin for me and if we have to sell on i rather it be marin. if not loan him out.

When we splashed the cash for Torres he had already lost his form, Falcao is a goalscorer...i think he is worth it, Cavani...not for chelsea.

Chelsea Football Club is delighted to announce the signing of goalkeeper Mark Schwarzer on a free transfer.

with hilario and turnbull contracts expired , guess he will be the backup keeper till courtois is ready for the number one spot.

Doh get meh wrong eh.. LUIZ good but we dont need him attacking during play all the time.. he makes alot of telling errors.. like a wild card.... if he could understand when he wins the ball pass it foward would be nice.... other than that.. dude makes too much telling errors and poor judgement.. I would advise cashing in...

Re: Luiz, I disagree...respectfully. Every team needs a 'wild card'. Without the element of spontaneity, what would football be? The answer....too predictable. I have no burning issue wit Luiz. Mata needs to up his game imho...that can't be 100% we getting from him. Obi needs more play time.

[kaylex]

obi,.. more playing time... we could send that to play in joe public... he wins the ball and passes the ball side to side or back.. never foward.... think he needs to wach the like sof makalele, song, xabi alanso.. etc..
he is one needs to go.. definitely not a starter

He is a huge asset. In his absence it was glaring how players the like of Rooney, Yaya, Benteke etc were able to assert their dominance in our midfield.

[equal2zero]

Mikel is also a Mourinho favourite. But I agree with kaylex's criticism of him. With regards to Mata, not sure what more we can expect of him. He's been phenomenal, our most consistent player.

Luiz has leadership potential but I agree with cashing in on him if someone offers crazy money

[trinibuggy]

Luiz shined as a midfielder, as a defender he needs work but definitely a future captain..Mikel on the other hand is too slow and often kills potential counter attacks(Chelsea's) because of this..imho Ake should be given a chance next season. Lukaku is our next Drogba plus he had 17 goals last season so he should be given game time.

[drunkenscorpion]

Lukaka as you say should be given more time in the senior squad now. Arguments were being made against the quality of teams he scored against, until his hoorah against manu making him the youngest player to score that amount of goals since Owen. Owen popped down quickly after that, so hopefully Mourinho can bring him up to a level that he can be one of the world's feared strikers. His attitude has improved as well which is a good sign.

Mikel, for me, does what he has to do. He is a holding midfielder, and does just that. He's not an attacking midfielder. Arguments can me made for and against him, and they will all be valid, but personally, I prefer to have someone like that at times.

Luiz....pure character. His fate is in mourinho's hands, depending on the type of squad he wants to build. He needs to be more stable defensively, or else he will quickly fall out of favor with the boss.

Up 4-0 at the half.....Hazard, Ramires, Ba and Terry

[kaylex]

Guys,

We have a ridiculous team thus far. I dont think we need to buy any more...

Van Ginkel... this guy is class.. as a defensive midfielder thus far.. his touch great.. he controls the play and passes the ball with great accuracy.. my word.. cant wait to see this guy during the season..Mikel, Romeu could be in some problems with this guy,ramirz and essien in the fold..


De Bruyne-- Dude came back from that loan season hungry .. very aggressive, pacey, and precise with his crosses...

Lukaku.. is problems for any defensive.. and they kenwyne jones has an imposing presence.. not like Likaku... dont think there are much central defenders who could rival this guy.. just work on his footskills and first touch.. he could be as lethal as didier.. we wait to see..

Shurlle-- Havent seen nothing exceptional bout this guy yet but .. he has a thunderbolt of a right foot... but he makes good enough sense to add a different dimension to the attack.. not a starter though..

too bad Traore cant get a work permit

Ake- decent enough to come on 60 th minute or so .. to sturdy the defence in the centre... so that is enough cover for central defence..

we dont need rooney... we have Lakaku, Ba who could be the starting strikers, Shurlle and then torres... four strikers is enough.. think torres could score a lil more this season...


WE WILL BE CHALLENGING FOR ALL TROPHIES FOR THIS SEASON..ONLY TEAM have some scary talent to add so far in manure... with ZAHA,LINGEGARD .. lINGEGARD.. LOOKING TO BE SOME WORRIES...

John Obi Mikel is not good enough for Chelsea

As featured on NewsNow: Football newsFootball News 24/7

John Obi Mikel has been linked with a move away from Chelsea with Galatasaray said to be monitoring his situation.

There have been figures thrown about in the region of £16 million, and for this price I believe the Blues would be mad not to let him go.

Mikel joined Chelsea back in 2006, snubbing Manchester United in the process. He was branded the heir to Claude Makelele's midfield throne, which on reflection was extremely disrespectful to the Frenchman.

Nobody is doubting that the Nigeria international has improved since joining all those years ago, but he is certainly not up to the standard of a title winning side which Chelsea are striving to be under Jose Mourinho.

Mikel is often described as a lazy player, because it takes him far too long to move up and down the pitch, and with his lacklustre defensive ability you would expect him to have more impact in the final third of the pitch, and chip in with a few goals, yet he has never scored a Premier League goal in over 180 appearances.

If the Turkish side or any other team for that matter are prepared to offer such large sums for Mikel, Chelsea should accept it.
