Modric is not good enough.

Yes he is. He was a stand out performer in the Tottenham team, and I feel he will only become better when surrounded by better players. I personally hope Chelsea sign him and do believe he is worth more than we have currently offered.

You'll have to add Kaka as this is becoming reality.

Oh no he's not Harry

Dream team, are you mental? There is no out and out covering mid there, a midfield like that would be crushed physically. I would love to see Hulk and Neymar flanking Torres but that midfield looks very weak, and very expensive

AVB likes 4-3-3 formation so chelsea should go with
Nasri-Torres-Struddige
Hazard-Ramires-Sniejder
Cole-Terry-Luiz-Ivanovic
Cech
with sub- Lampard, lukaku, rajkovic, mata, bosingwa, romeu, benayun
But personally i will like the formation as
Torres
Nasri lampard sniejder Mata
Ramires
Cole terry luiz Ivanovic
Cech
with sub- Struddige, Romeu, benayun, rajkovic, bosingwa, hazard, lukaku

Hazard would start over struddige in my opinion

I am strongly fan of chelsea from last 10 yrs n chelsea means all d football world to me.
I believe chelsea should let go
drogba-15m
anelka-free transfer
malouda-15m
mikel-12m
zirkov-10m
kalou-10m
perriera-5m
alex-8m
essein-15m( if not now den in january)
i know its sad to let go drogba but now we need to built our game around torres. Everyone knows torres has got ground game not the physical one and so we need to improve our ground game and for so we need such kind of players who can built ground game.
we shold go for possible targets
Sneijder(27yrs)-35m
lukaku(18yrs)-20m
nasri(23yrs)-20m( he got just one yr left so i think tats max value)
juan mata(23yrs)-15m(13.5m his release clause)
hazard(19yrs)-15m
Palacios(27yrs)-8m(as valued by tottenham)
cahill(15m/only if rajkovic doesnt get permit)
well if we do that we r spending just 25-30 m on transfer targets. And i strongly believe this year we need massive changes in our team.
For sneijder the transfer money wont b problem but his wages wl b problem but still i believe chelsea should try to pay those bcaz he is real playmaker w n he is 27yrs old so he has got 4/5 yrs remaining for his best football.And he is very gud option ahead of Luka modric.
Nasri can come to stamford bridge we need to show strong intrest in him n he knows chelsea wl give him more titles which he didnt get in arsenal.
Lukaku will give us attacking option.And he is very young n he can learn under torres.
Hahard n juan mata will give us winger options which we always lacked. These 2 players are young n future talent stars.
so our team should be like:
goal keepers:cech, turnbull, hilario
def:cole, terry, luiz, ivanovic, bosingwa, annholt, rajkovicvic(if he gets permit) or den cahill
def mid: ramires, palacios, josh mcecheran
mid: lampard, sneijder, nasri, benayun, hazard, juan mata, kakuta, lucas piazon(wen he wl arrive in jan2012)
strikers-torres, struddige, lukaku
see d flexibity den sniejder can play on right wing or in midfield, nasri can play left wing or in mid field, hazard can play on both wings, benayun can play on wing or behind striker, josh can play as def or in playmakers role. Play torres in all important games while start with struddige/lukaku in some less important games with weaker teams like Carling cup, FA cup etc.
Play lampard for one more season n then see d progress of other mid fielders let them study under him. With sell of him next season we can lower our weekly wages n surely we wl fit in FF rule.

Why palacios? Chelsea need to sign a younger DM than him. I think he's a decent player but he doesn't look like the kind of player that could replace Essien (whom we should be getting at least 20-25m for). I think they were valuing Cahill above 20m anyway so maybe we can target a player like van der wiel assuming that bosingwa could also be sold this summer. I agree with Mata and hazard as they would solve the winger problem. I also agree that Drogba should be sold no matter how painful it will be to see him leave. Sneidjer's likelier to join man utd than chelsea assuming he does leave and anyway it could benefit Chelsea more to use that money to sign a different younger player like Adam Johnson or Pastore(even though it's likely he's off to PSG). Nasri could be a good signing but again both manc clubs want him and wenger would rather let him go for free as it looks like he's got one more good year left so I would say yes to it if they could get him to 20m and nothing more. If not then we'll probably end up with Modric even though he's overpriced. If AVB pushes up some up the promising youngsters we won't really need to sign them but that's assuming they will step up and perform well.

as an arsenal fan don't try to waste your time trying to sign hasri he will not be going to you.also so what if another malga appears on the scene.anzhi psg etc what is there average attendance and where are they on the deloitte list of clubs .remember the ffp rules you can only spend what you earn though you can save up over some years to spend in one year.but still only spend what you earn.so they can't go overboard on there spending.

I'm afraid this will be the starting eleven for next season
Malouda Drogba Kalou
Lampard Ramires
Mikel
Cole Luiz Terry Ivanovic
Cech
Personally the only people I see Good enough to play would be the back line, goalie , Ramires , sturridge, mceachrenand maybe lampard. Other than that this team needs to be completely Cleaned out.

Torres will start more often that not, also expect Sturridge to be used more heavily than Kalou.
IB

Agree with the 'IB' Torres is more AVB's kind of striker, and AVB clearly rates Sturridge more than Kalou...and its not difficult to understand why

pastore was scared to join the big leauge teams hes a little fairy boy who couldnt handle the thought of play against big teams in the prem...
Now then, Chelsea are in grave need of a good creative, pacey right winger who can delive good crosses and passes into the middle.
I also think yossi can be a huge success this season and i belive we need a winger more than a creative attacking mid.
