Out of interest what do forum users think about Lampard being dropped from the England team ? And Was there any clubs interested in signing Kalou , heard from a reliable source that no club wanted Kalou , he his on high wages and no club , thinks he his worth the money he commands ?

I think its the right decision, he has'nt exactly been performing lately has he. I'd personally like to see him dropped to the bench for Chelsea aswel for a change, maybe then players like McCeachran would get a chance to impress more and speed up our attacks, he gets played to much on reputation for me.

Agree0 Disagree0

I think there had to be some intrest for kalou but it was probably the wages that kept him from leaving. And maybe there weren't any offers from any "big" clubs

Agree0 Disagree0

Personally legenary status shoulkd not mean automatic start! not just for england for chelsea aswell!

Agree0 Disagree0

I don't really give 2 hoots about him playin for england, what i do care about is people, our own fans giving him stick! hes not playing badly, doing very little wrong, people just expect too much! He, like torres, needs service to do what he does best. I expect a return to his best form when things start to click around him.

hi eds, fantastic job during the transfer window. but were the signings of mata and meireles to help give torres better service? {Ed001's Note - they were bought with the intention of playing a system better suited to him.}

Raul joined chelsea because he wants to play in champions league, because he will find many portugese speaking guys here and some of them are his portugal team mates, because he thinks boas is better than danglish, because london and liverpool are poles apart in terms of glitter, because he would be getting better wages here, because of more direct flights from portugal to london, because he doesn't understand the scouser accent of english, because he wants to prove that he is no under dog and can give lampard and others a run for their money.

He joined Chelsea because he knows they throw money at everything and it's his best chance of being bought some silverware

Piazon arrives in January, nw I've seen this guy play an he's got some 'unbelievable teckers' I think Meireles has been brought in for extra cover and nothin more. Maybe he'l even suprise us yet though ya never no. Using my brain and not my heart I honestly do not believe we will take bk the title this year. United just look to good for us its as simple as that. AVB chose not to strengthen as much as the fans expected him to and has decided to stick with what he has. I think Mata is an excellent signing but its not enough as if he gets injured then were bk with Malouda. Maybe 2nd or 3rd this season at a push so come on you blues an prove me wrong!

I think the problem may have been with players leaving. The likes of Kalou, Alex and Anelka did not move on making it harder to bring in players. Wage space needs to be freed up as well as places in the 25man squad, i think if these three had left we would have seen a couple of new faces. With age catching up to a lot of players and contracts running low i think we can expect a very different squad in the next 3-4 seasons. Also depending on how things go we might see 2-3 new players in Jan, i still have my fingers crossed for Neymar even if it is a long shot!

Agree0 Disagree0

We signed quite a few players, since January the club has spent around 140 million on players, the club also tried to sign many others a sad fact of life is that for some reason when Chelsea are after a player there club seem to think than can dick us about and we will pay whatever I am glad we seemed to have not do that. I have faith in AVB, and no matter what happens I will always support Chelsea.

Agree0 Disagree0

I think the fact that they didn't clearout all the deadwood in the summer made it harder to bring in new faces and because of that we will have a very similar squad to last season. i don't think we will win the league either but you never know.

Ed, would u agree with me when I say that these International breaks are a pain in the ass and get in the way of teams preperation for upcoming games. {Ed001's Note - personally I hate them, I have absolutely no interest in international footie. They should make the league season shorter and play international football in the close season.}
