Tough draw, will be interesting to see if Hamsik and Cavani will move away, i am certainly hoping at least one moves elsewhere!

Although that would make the games slightly easier, i think we can still come through with the goods. It seems every player in the worlds preference is spain atm so it will be interesting to see who we get in january. And i doubt hamsik or cavani will leave in the summer as if they do they can not play champions league football due to being cup tied.

I find it interesting that now the Higuain interest has been published in the media, everyone seems to be asking about it despite the fact that ed02 has been posting on the subject for 3 or 4 weeks. Standard.

Chelsea needs in January......reality check!!

GK) Cech isn't in the best form of his life, everyone knows that! However, we signed the young Belgium lad and he has done well at At. Madrid; no signings here!!
RB/LB) Cole, for me, is irreplaceable! He is without doubt one of the best left backs in the world! I am however delighted to hear AVB talk highly about Bertrand; no need to sign a new LB as this boy is ready when needed! Ivanovic is so solid at RB when we play deep, and Bosingwa is a decent replacment as and when he is needed. I can however see Bosingwa moving on in the summer, we will sign a new RB when he moves on; my first choice would be Kyle Walker (doubtful though)!
CB) Terry has two/three years left in him, Luiz looks much more solid when we play deeper; Ivanovic is there to cover. That's three CB's, we need four! I personally don't rate Cahill, if Hutchinson has signed a new contract the club must have first team plans for him?!. Chalobah is quality too, no need to sign another CB in January or maybe the summer!
DCM) Romeu! How good is he? Quality I say! Obi Mikel will leave in the Summer if he isn't happy playing second fidel! Essien will come back but...and I feel bad saying this...only as a squad player! No January signing here!
CM) Lampard is a squad player now, Rameires is the first name on our Midfield team sheet! Miereles is a squad player too, we need a creative player to play alongside Romeu and Miereles! I'd be happy for McEachran to play there, and know the place is his in the long term! Do we push a signing through in January or send him out on loan to see how he developes? I know what id do!
RW/LW) Sturridge has the RW nailed down, Mata has the LW nailed down! What they need is cover! Malouda is not good enough, Kalou is not good enough; both are likly to move on in the summer! If I were AVB I would be looking for a winger who can play on either side, Hazard would be first choice but he wants Madrid! De Bruyne is not ready! Not sure who but I can see this position being filled in January!
CF) Drogba has been great recently but is off ACN soon, and is off for good soon! Anelka is gone! That leaves Torres and Lukaku! I think they are saving Torres for when Drogba a goes in January; if he hits top form (IF) then he there is no problems! However, with Lukaku struggling to settle another striker is immenent! Higuain would be perfect; but I like Llorente too! Striker to sign in January!!

I think that's pretty honest, no thoughts of Chelsea signing 7 players in January; a winger, or two including de Bruyne! Along with a striker!
Not much to ask Santa for!!
