Just imagine if we had this team we wud b better than barca and if torres cant score in this team he should retire cech maicon terry luiz cole modric pastore moutinho neymar torres hulk this team would be class full of pace skill craft and vision .they call moutinho the Portugal xavi. modric and pastore would play the inesta role both wide forwards have pace and we all know what a fit sharp torres can do i would love to see this team play barca its like a mirror then we would win the champs lge and play the type of football roman craves i no you might think its a bit weak but like barca we would be to clever and quick for teams .this could be the start for us the same as when cruyff went to barca he made his dream team they won the champs lge he set a standard and thats why barca are so good to day that was the start of the project and id love it if our new manager came here built his dream team and started us off playing silky football the youngsters would benefit also as the team would play football not try and over power teams and bully teams .then we would be set up for life oh well i can dream cant i

I dunno if even roman has that sort money for a team lol in theory its good but never in million years would it happen

Agree0 Disagree0

Modric is just an average player, he's not good enough for chelsea.

Agree0 Disagree0

Modric is better than the robots we have at the moment and if torres/henderson /downing are going for that type of money he is worth 35 million in to days market pay up or get left behind plus how come every season we say our squad is fine i dont see us wining champs lges and we just came off the back of the worst season since roman came so are we ok are we hell every 1 around us is getting stronger and our dead wood is getting older i want us to be the best in the world so before any of u say our teams good enough compare it to united barca madrid and even city so in my view we are not good enough all im saying is lets not be bias lets be real and say our team dont play attractive football and are to old then sort it out and maybe then next year were be ok (ps) i love chelsea and always shouts louder than all the posh folk around me i bounced my mortgage for to months to watch the blues a couple of years back i wouldnt do it now not with these old age pensioners thens theres mikel and kalou and malouda yep looks like every things fine NOTTT

Agree0 Disagree0

So just because a bloke is better than the "robots" that we already have merits a £35M price tag? He isn't even worth £30M. Let the other stupid clubs spend their cash so frivolously.

Agree0 Disagree0

Am I right in thinking that most Chelsea fans, think that Modric is not good enough for our great side.

Believable11 Unbelievable1

Id say most Chelsea fans don't believe he's worth the price tag. I'd be lying if I said I didn't want him on the squad.

Agree0 Disagree0

Not sure he's even good enough for the squad, let alone the starting 11.
He's on a par with malouda & kalou.
lets face it, neither of them are good enough.
He's probably worth tops, about £12 million. But he's still not up to standard for us.

Agree0 Disagree0

I agree that Chelsea shouldn't get modric but to say his not good enough for our squad is bit much, he would prob get in our team, our midfield was hardly awesome last season, his great player but not worth the reported 35 mil

Agree0 Disagree0

You must be joking, on par with malouda , modric was one of the only consistent players in a pretty good spurs team, malouda on the other hand was our worst player in the second half of last season although he did score a few times.

modric would be a very good purchase but the amount tottenham seem to want (40+ mil). if we had our first bid accepted i'd say go for it but if we are going to pay that kind of money, i'd prefer pastore because he can contribute more, in the attacking sense, than modric.

Agree0 Disagree0

35m is probably the going rate for a player like Modric.You only have to look at Liverpool paying that for Andy Carroll.At least it would be no real gamble as he is used to the premier league.would rather pay 20m + kalou and malouda though as they are really poor players

Agree0 Disagree0

"You must be joking, on par with malouda"

Haha, I had to laugh when I saw that too. Malouda scored most of his goals early in the season against relegation teams and in the CL against ilina.

Agree0 Disagree0

Modric isn't worth more than 30m and I would rather see Chelsea sign Pastore instead of Modric

Agree0 Disagree0

I'd love to see pastore and modric playing together in a similar fashion to xavi and iniesta at barca. Both v good on the ball, great vision, energy and can feed passes to a forward like torres all day long. Here's hoping

Agree0 Disagree0

Well, hope may be all that you'll get, because I doubt that we'll sign both, let alone one of them.

Agree0 Disagree0

25 Jul 2011 17:16:59
I hope reports are correct, that we are going to sign pastore. that hopefully will end the speculation of getting modric, who at best is just above average in the premier.
After that, i hope we are going to buy some width.
The rest of the squad, inclusive of the youngsters ( i hope they get some proper game time), is good enough to contest all domestic competition's.
Only time will tell if AVB can motivate them in the CL.

Believable6 Unbelievable6

Well, I agree with your opinion on Modric, but have a tough time agreeing with the 2nd half of your comment. Did you not watch us last season? We are not good enough to contest for anything other than the FA Cup at the moment. In case you haven't noticed, the other top Prem. clubs have improved their squads through purchases.

Agree0 Disagree0

Hi ed pls, pls and pls expantiate the issue of 17 homegrown and over 21. Is it over 21yrs or 17/21. {Ed002's Note - There are a maximum of 25 players who are over the age of 21 in a squad. Of those a maximum of 17 may be non homehrown.}

Can everyone stop asking stupid questions or rumours that we have all read in the Metro Please. So what if we don't sign anyone, does that mean we can't win the prem? Oh wait Yes Essien got injured we need a replacement and here comes De rossi, great buy, oh no He twisted his ankle against stoke out for 6 months, hmmm who do we have on the bench, Mikel, sounds like back to square one. Most of the time football is about motivation, a good manager can rejuvenate a player. Easy boyz no panic btw have always believed Carlo got lucky in his first season, he's not a good motivator.

Believable2 Unbelievable7

Can everyone stop posting childish complaints about the contents of other peoples posts? The Ed's could always not post them if they felt like it (they do have that authority).

Being this obsessed with what other people post isn't healthy. Maybe you should make an appointment with a shrink?

Im not really content with this squad but i do belive this will be chelsea starting XI this season. I personal belive we(chelsea) urgently need to sign a RWinger and offload some dead weight like zhirkov. I know nobody is going to like this but i think we need to keep kalau..... he is a good squad player and a good finisher late in games, i mean he did score 11 goal last season.

Matt

Believable3 Unbelievable6

Are you delusional? Zhirkov is dead weight, yet Kalou is a good squad player? We have 18 year olds in the side who are better and cheaper squad players.

And how can you use the words "good finisher" and "Kalou" in the same sentence (let alone on the same planet)? Most of his attempts are in the seats or slammed off the advertising board. I love how the defenders of players like Kalou and Malouda always mention how many goals they scored, but never state which (inferior) teams that they were scored them against. And I guess that they never count how many times that they dribble right into defenders and fall down as if they were shot, or lose the ball. Or when they finally beat their man just to lose the ball for a goal kick. No, they don't usually list those stats on soccernet.

Agree0 Disagree0

Sadly I think your right about our starting eleven for next season, I can see us having to buy big in january again as we will be in the same if not worse position than last season.
