Two questions ED,

Have we ever had any interest Farfan, especially as he is out of contract in the summer.

Has Montpellier striker Giroud ever been considered as an option for a striker? {Ed002's Note - Chelsea have certainly looked at Farfan as a possibility but no more than that. If Farfan does move, I expect Italy with Inter, Juventus, Palermo or Roma and probably not England. Schalke made it clear that they would sell in January for 7M euros, but a niggling injury kept buyers away. It was expected that Giroud would stay within France with a move to PSG but performances this season have seen Valencia, Newcastle, Villarreal, Arsenal and particularly Malaga show an interest. Nicollin discussed the interest in the player saying Newcastle were too minor a club and Arsenal would have to pay 50M euros, if not 60M euros for the player. The reality is that he will move for perhaps 20M euros in the summer. Chelsea have no interest at this time.}

What are the odds of Capello replacing AVB? {Ed002's Note - I understand that Fabio Capello is very close to agreeing to take over as manager of Anzhi Makhachkala.}

My ideal CFC squad for next season would be:

GK Cech (Courtois in a season or two)

RB Ivanovic (vdw or azpiliqueta one of the two. Rotating first season and overtaking eventually, none is ready for prem right away, but could prove wrong. Even better then)

CD -Terry (i'm strong about and i don't giva a sh if he is getting slower. He is the only one of our former core who plays his heart out every time he puts a Chelsea shirt)

CD Luiz. (AVB is gambling his own post with keeping him in the lineup all of the time, but trust me, he will come good if not the best :) we'll be thanking the manager for putting up with his errors)

Rotation - Cahill, Ivanovic, whil not at RB.

LB Cole (He's not having a good season, but having noone challenging for the sput doesn't kick his backside either.) (Bertrand - in rotation. Cole need a breather which Zhirkov gave him for a couple of seasons to keep him fresh)

Given the way Cole is unchallenged to the starting 11 and the way Malouda is playing, now i can understand why AVB wanted to bring a versatile Perreira to the left flank.

CM - Ramires and Essien. I think these two should play together at the base of midfield. Both can defend, shoot and as much as that offer a lot going forward. The way i see the team is they should patrol the back and join the attack randomly. (Romeu, Lampard). can't picture Obi anywhere near the team, don't care for Mereilles.

Attackin midfielders-wingers - Mata (a no brainer, best player in the team). Hamsik (I think he is ready to burst onto a major league. Tremendous talent) Goetze/Hazard/Moura/Jovetic (I'll embrace anyone of these, whomever wishes to come to Chelsea and if Chelsea want them to join).

I would play all three at the same time with dynamic formation of 4-2-3-1, 4-4-1-1, 4-5-1, or whatever you call it.

In rotation - we haven't got anyone to play there. If Kalou leaves and Malouda (whatever happens to him, can't care less) we have noone. Hopefully Kakuta loan prove beneficial and he can join the first team, but that is reach for next year as it appears today. I would instantly go Hoilett, he could be a really good squad player challenging for starting berth, filling in case of injuries and providing a briether. And he is available on bosman. Would consider bids for Moses, Sessagnon, browse French league. De Bruyne will be coming to CFC in a year or two also.

ST - i would be have if we didn't just jump ship on anyone of ours. If i could i would keep Drogs for another season, Torres and Sturridge also. No upgrades needed.

If we really get to play Mata and Hamsik and say Hazard on the pitch at the same time, even Heskey would be scoring, so i believe this is the way to reshape and improve our squad.

What a dreamer if we don't get CL then none if your mentioned will join

I thought it was a pretty good post!
I agree, strikers is not our problem.
Lack of creativity. I do like Hamsik, for me he would fit in well. Rb, we need. Bosingwa is a bit hit and miss.
Terry, lampard and drogba all still core players. They deserve the respect of all true fans, as they have earned it!
Hazard? Great talent but not convinced if he will fancy cold fa cup nights in the north of england?
Avb has a lot of s**t to get through, I really hope for his and every chelsea fan's sake that he does, As i live in portugal and have followed him. His footballing ideas are very interesting and exciting.
Thanks
Luke

Also, I think we have made some good signings. I think kevin de bryune us gonna become a world class footballer?
Cahill... Steady.
Luiz.... Will get there
Torres... Could be the best striker in the world. ( now drogba is getting older)
Ramires... Power and pace.
Would love to see micah richards at
chelsea
