There is an amazing article about the partnership between Chelsea and Vitesse that I think every Chelsea fan should read.
It's called: FORTIFYING AN EMPIRE on WAGNH

Morning boys, United fan in peace. We have had a less than impressive start but I was wondering how you are all feeling about your start. In August, I thought the top 3 would be United, City, and Chelsea, with you lot looking the strongest. Despite Arsenal's strong start and all the Scousers wetting themselves' I still think the top 3 will be the same as last year. Not sure what is wrong with City, our issue is clearly midfield which hopefully we will do something about in Jan. How about you? JM doesn't look himself at the moment. Your midfield is quality but you still need that world class CF. What are your views?

Our centre midfield is the biggest problem. I actually like eto'o he's getting sharper the more he plays. We need a link between defence and attack a deep lying playmaker who is also good defensively. My obvious choice would be Gundogan but I doubt it'll happen. I do think we need two new class players in that area. My ideal solution would be to Mikel leave keep Essien seen as he can fill the void at full back with Gundogan coming in and hopefully one of either Matuidi or Imbula who are defensively minded joining him but there's probably zero chance of that happening.

I agree with what jm21 said about cm being a bigger need. Rami is fabulous in the middle but his biggest weakness is his distribution. Also the person next to him whether mikel or lampard covers very little ground so he has to run himself into the ground to make up for it. If we could get a midfielder that can distribute from deep and has the mobility needed to function in a two man midfield that would help us a ton. I agree that with etoo and Torres both playing decently well right now I wouldn't buy another striker and basically risk writing off lukaku.

As good as Ramires has been unless we out a too class CM like de Rossi etc we will not
See best of him. Like u say, rami has to cover his ground and who ever else plays along
Side him. Except Luiz, who can do the ball playing and hard tacking and let Ramires OSE down and break
