Would anyone be worried if Chelsea didn't sign a striker over the summer? I think having Torres, Sturridge and Lukaku as striking options is good enough. In the case of CL qualification, it would be great to see investment in a couple of wingers like Hazard, Di Maria, possibly a disgruntled Adam Johnson would offer width and something different. Either way I think the wingers are more essential than a new striker. Would love to see the following:
Aziplicueta
Pereira (if Cole moves on)
Witsel (defensive midfielder, to take on Makalele role)
Hazard
Di Maria/Johnson/Krasic
Would love to see some investment in more youth too. With the youth team doing so well anyway would be great if Chelsea signed promising players like Barkley and Rodwell from Everton. Moyes has kept Barkley on a very short leash but I've watched him play a few times and he is going to be a great player, and a perfect replacement for Lampard. Rodwell could be a very useful CB/CDM if he stops getting injured too.

I think we need a back up striker. I really want lukaku to start as he is one of our most experienced youngsters apart from cortois and bertrand. I don't want to generalise people but im assuming some people don't realise how much first team experience he has compared to someone like piazon who hasnt had any. On another note i think we should promote lukaku, bertrand and mceachran to the bench/first team

Ok so in my third season on manger mode of FIFA 12 and my team is;
Cech
Walker. Terry. Cahill. Cole.
McEachran . Erickson. Rameris
Morua.
Torres. Cavani.
Subs;
Mata, lamps, sturidge, baines , Sergio Roberto , luiz
And we actually pretty good!
Think if 3 of these could become reality I would have; Sergio Roberto Erickson and Cavani.
Ed I remember ready that AVB was looking at Roberto, do you rate him in real life, looks good from the very little I've seen of him

Well it appears every other person seems to come out with FIFA style teams on here saying we should sell him and buy every person who can kick a ball. So just thought I would put it out there

Really 50/50 for the game on Sunday. Feels like we've got to put our hopes on whether certain players turn up on the day, and it shouldn't be like that. I really hope we can sort ourself out in the summer and get some foundations set down. I don't mean go out and buy buy buy. Just get a sensible plan put together and try to achieve it! Ideas welcome guys :)

3. and 4. attacking mid -- jovetic, di maria, hazard, hulk, krasic, adam johnson, hoilett, farfan, walcott, lavezzi, affely, willian, lucas moura, hamsik, illicic, modric, robben, ribery
5. central forward -- torres, sturridge, lukaku, cavani, higuain, van persie, pato, levandowski, remy, ba,
and thats about every player that i can conjure up...
and if i had to choose one from every number i would say,
1. azpillcueta

4. hazard
5. cavani
everybody choose one from each and if i forgot anyone add them in.....

Comez as a lone striker, Johnson on the left, hulk on the right. And hamski in the centre for when mata is having a off day. As for right back would be awesome if we could nick Kyle walker. As for another defensive midfielder I would sell Essien and try to get marteniez or possibly let Mickel Romuo and McEachran

Excuse my last, my phone died. But as I was saying Martenize/ Tiote or let mikel Romuo or McEachran share the spoils. We need to invest, but also make the most of what we have

I'd be happy with the following :
Defenders : Terry,Luiz,Ivanovic,Cahill,Azpilicueta*,Cole,Bertrand,Hutchinson,Ferreira
Midfielders : Lampard,Mata,Romeu,Ramires,Mceachran,Mikel,Modric*,A.Johnson*,De Bruyne
Forwards : Torres,Sturridge,Lukaku,Kalou
apart from the above i would also be happy if we could snap up hoillet and jovetic/cavani but if we dont i'd still be satisfied with only signing modric,adam
johnson and azpilicueta

4231 formation is pointless we don't ever have enough players in the centre of mid so we lose far to much possession. And why do we play two holding mods at home games? It's perfetic.

Anelka in management eh? Le sulk doesn't have It in him. Don't you need coaching badges ed (?
Jm10 {Ed001's Note - depends on the country, and he is no sulk, he is a very nice lad, just quiet. But he was an absolute gent while on loan at Liverpool, was always willing to take time out for the fans. The issue with him is that he had strong views about tactics and wanted to put his viewpoint across to the manager. Some managers couldn't handle that.}
