I think we need CL football in order for the to be possible mate. But i do love the positive attitude.

Melbourne CFC

Yeah i think we can, i think you only need 3 or 4 world class players to win in it as long as the rest of your team are decent and hardworking, we already have class players its the players around them that need replacing, so i dont think it matters if we dont get Champions League, we dont need a world class replacement for Kalou, just a decent functioning one, look at Man U for example, i think our problem this year is our poorer players have been worse than the other top teams poorer players. With all due respect to the players it wont be difficult to improve on Kalou, Miereles, Malouda, Boswinga.

I just think we're a dominant midfielder and 2 wide men short, maybe a striker depending on how torres finishes, cant see us not buying what we need becasue its so obvious

SHED END

Melbourne, Chelsea will not get a trophy, or will they get champions league.

Ok buddy, thanks for your input. It will be filed with the rest of the meaningless opinions Liverpool fans have given me in the past.

It depends what stratergy we take for next year, if we spend £200m then we have to be challenging for a title, if not we have to win the Champs league in Mr Abramovic's eyes, he cant spend another huge amount of money for no success. Or we take the youth approach, buy young players like we did this year, aim for top 4 spots and try to include some fringe players and reserve team players into the squad, the likes of McEachran, Piazon, Romeu and Lukaku for example.

Id like to see us take control of games more and sort out our slow, uncreative midfield more than anything this summer, lets hope next season were not fighting for the 4th spot again.

PB

Personally I'm not all that concerned about winning the league next year, my concerns are with the way we play. I'd be happy with being in contention for the title coming in to April, but the bigger issue is our boring style of play.
You can't win the league every year but surely we can't put up with another season of the shower we've been watching this season.
Everyone's saying get this player and that player but for me you just have to look at city and utd. The difference between them is the manager. If fergie was in charge of city then they would have won the title already.
So for me the bigger issue isn't the players we should get its the correct manager we need in place.
So to answer the original question , get the right manager then yes Cfc can win the title.
Cfcmatt.

As a life long Chelsea fan, I can remember when 4th, 5th or 6th was a good season.
I do hope we are playing champions league football next year. Otherwise week days will have nothing to look forward to except for another dose of eastenders with the wife!
For me more important than european football, is to start playing some football again. We have great quality in this side, but we look so dis- jointed. Man u do not have ad good a sqyad as us, but they work as a team. I cant remember Chelsea playing like this. We always played good football.
Ps sorry bout the moody spelling. Thumbs to big for this touch screen.

I'm setting a challenge. By the end of today i reckon we can get 1 positive post from Pinky. Thats right...just 1. I still highly doubt it.

Chelski

Nothing positive to say were so flat and boring to watch

All this talk of pep guadiola being best man for job is a joke. With our players and league he would be a flop, if any of last 5 Chelsea managers took over Rijkards team of xavi iniesta MESSI alves piqué puyol then thn wud all of done brilliant job , give pep our old team and war h is stutter again. Avb tried to play good football but didn't have the players, we need 5 new players, and cover for some overs,

The reality is Guardiola and Mourinho won't be coming...why would they? Roman will either pick someone who catches his eye or, after the AVB farce when he decided he knew best, revert back to taking advice from his army of advisors as to who he should go for. The club is rudderless and going nowhere. Too many chiefs, no strategy, just knee-jerk short-term reactions. Ancelotti delivered first season and would have been a decent mid-term risk if he had been given time and support. The Wilkins sacking showed how much the management cared about team affairs and morale and how quick they are to undermine whoever is in charge. RDM won't get the job even if he is successful because that would mean Roman admitting that it took the number 2 of the man he sacked to get things working. No coach stands a chance at Chelsea so no coach in his right mind would want to work there. The only reason they do is because of the money. If they succeed, they are rich and can bask in the glory of cracking the most pressurised job in football. If they fail...they walk away rich. Not a bad risk.
As for the Ed's here, don't dare criticise how the club is run because they will dismiss you as ignorant but curiously not attempt to explain why you are wrong. Are they Ron Gourlay in disguise?

While I agree that Roman has been ruthless and sometimes in hinesight made some awful calls on signings does everyone on here forget that without him, we would still be waiting for another PL title? We would have probably never made it to a CL semi let alone 6, wouldn't have won the 3 FA cups we have since he bought the club, and all in all wouldnt be able to complain about being 6th on the table.

Get a grip fella's Roman has made our club a force in Europe. Although the last year has been hard, why the f*ck do people care about how much Roman spends? Does it affect your life? Your bank account? If you can't take the abuse from other fans about being called 'plastic' then pack it in and support rugby.

Melbourne CFC

And as for the Ed's, you do realise they volunteer their time to this site, to help people get information on their clubs. It's trolls like you who constantly give them hell and abuse that would create the response's you get. If you read down Ed002 has just told us how the scouting network at Chelsea works, and who makes certain decisions. Something alot of fans appreciate.

Get back in your box mate, atleast sign your posts if you are going to criticise so that you can get criticism back.

Melbourne CFC

Another great post Melbourne, I think with the market nowadays we will need to pay a fair bit for players, just how it is. Fans need to face facts.
Another great post though.
Keep the top 4 faith!

Hi Ed

whats going on with Romeu? seems a long time to be in the shadows and now not even on the bench. far better DM than anyone playing at the moment. heard a chelsea rumour he had a training ground spat with JT. sounds typical. {Ed002's Note - There is nothing wrong with him. He was on the bench on Monday. He had a knee injury and then a virus.}
