Manager: Jose Mourinho
Assistant: The Doc

I think my favorite ever squad has to be the late 90s team, with Wise, Franco, Robbie, Gus, Flo, Chappy, Marcel, Lebouf, Carlo, Le Saux, Luca, Petrescu etc. That squad changed went along way to making us what we are today.

Whats other people best ever Chelsea XI?

Squad members to be added to your team, would include.
Dixon,
Cooke,
Nevin,
Le saux,
Jimmy hasselbank,
Hudson,
The cat,
Poyet,
Gallas,
Baldwin,

Crespo was awesome for Chelsea, just not there long enough

Drogba got to be in there somewhere. Dixon was my hero as a kid but he must of scored 70plus goals in the championship and full members cup.

I would have Big JIMMY in there

I meant to put MY best ever Chelsea XI, sorry.

For me the back 4 speaks for itself, would be interesting to find any differ from that. The rest is up for debate i know, i just think these were our best ever XI who played for the club a long time.

Arjen Robben would have to fit in somewhere.

Di matteo was our best midfielder during his time! wise did carry the fight and had the leadership needed tho

Might be nit picking, but the rock along side JT, would not be ideal against a barcelona, we would need a gallas or calvalho.

Dan petrescu gavin peacock, ruud guillit, wisey, stein, tore andre flo, vialli, ed de goey lol

Mikel?

Carvalho a must, best defender at chelsea in recent times. Duff was good too, could do with a winger like him now. {Ed

Haha thats why in my previous post i just put young right back, like the team tho pal although dont think Higuain is essential if Torres is firing

LIAM

I personally feel another winger over sturridge, hes 2 gready 2 play on the wing, swap him torres 4 striker if nando fails

Than in the summer or whenever sign götze or someone like that to give any of these players some competion cause considering the rest of the squad there would be none bar maybe essien,terry and a couple others

Luiz over ivanovic if your going for youth.

Personally I'd rather have an old player than someone who seems to have no clue were to be and when to be there

This the best posted team till now ,, but i'd prefer Torres upfront and with such assistance and Drogba being sold he will be a goal machine :D

Hi ed, what the whole thing with financial fair play? surely spending heaps on players will accumulate huge losses and we will be thrown out of Europe? {Ed002's Note - No, don't worry about it.}
