Chelsea must retain the services of Kakuta considering there isn't going to be any world class signings and this kid with the right development, will be world class. The only signings there might be is young, super talented, cheap players. We need to release Hilario and give Metaj Delac a chance in the squad. Ferreira is getting old and is also very slow so a young right back is needed to replace Bosingwa in the future. All I can think of is Everton's Seamus Coleman, Blackburn's Phil jones although he's a center back he can also play there or converting Bruma into one. Zhirkov should be allowed to leave because he's class and doesn't get enough game time. Dzagoev should be bought to replace him. We need to eventually replace Drogba and Borini is not good enough to do that. Andy Caroll and obviously Lukaku should be considered. Kakuta should play more especially in place for Malouda who does not bring any creativity or anything for the squad in my opinion. You won't be seeing that great goal scoring form again from him until we play Wigan or West Brom. Kakuta brings pace and creativity which can unlock defences like City's and like today against Liverpool who suprisingly couldn't keep a clean sheet against Blackpool but against the deadliest attack in England. Your thoughts Ed or Sharkey. {ed's note - I think you are getting a bit carried away, there is nothing fundamentally wrong with Chelsea's current squad, you just had a bad day while Liverpool had a very good one.}

"In fairness mate Sharkey knows jack about Chelsea's finances, he knows about finances and he is an intelligent guy but when it comes to Chelsea he is just as blind as the rest of you, he thinks with his heart and not his brain when our great club is in question."
Seems a little bod, but I'll play along.
"Back in July he said he will stick his neck out and say Chelsea will sign two £20m players and a big marquee signing which i can only imagine he meant upwards of £30m, we actually bought Ramires (£16m) and Benayoun (5.5m) and a couple kids."
I don't recall exactly what I said but it would not have been constrained by money – and your assumption about the £30M is incorrect. Ramires was signed which accounts for one of the players and the club came very close to signing Neymar. What killed the Neymar deal was Santos getting greedy.
"So i think we can agree he was way off the mark…. "
I would be grateful if you could provide a link to exactly what I said that was way off the mark.
"I'm sorry people do not like to hear it but the strings have now been tightened…."
It is not so much they object to hearing about it. What I imagine is that they don't necessarily need to hear it over and over again. You never sign your posts so it would be simple to disappear should you be proven wrong.
"we have an 80k a week wage cap…."
I would be grateful for some further details on this please.
"Roman and Bruce was moaning the other day about other teams being able to pay large wages, why are they worried about this?"
I am surprised to hear this – was anything else shared with you?
"Its simple its because we will not be able to compete with the likes of Barcelona, Real Madrid, Man United, Arsenal, Inter, AC Milan, Juventus & Bayern for players in the future. ….I'm no scaremonger…"
I would say the opposite, you seem to put a great deal of effort in to depressing the hell out of the Chelsea fans.
"…. but i am certain of one thing, we will not sign Neymar."
Are you absolutely certain that there were no meetings with his representatives after the season began?
"We will never spend big on anyone ever again unless we can make huge profits as a club, but that will not happen anytime soon."
Not a scaremonger then?
"Editor am i wrong for wanting Chelsea to win trophies the proud way?"
I completely agree it is the right and responsible thing to do of course.
Sharkey.
