Just some thoughts and questions from a loyal blue on the current squad,

Start off with Mikel, he is nowhere near good enough, i can't believe we havent got rid of him sooner, will he be leaving in the summer editor? fingers crosses anyway, similar feelings about kalou aswel, he could probably hold his own in a mid table team but surely he isn't chelsea quality??{Ed002's Note - Mikel may go. I expect Kalou to leave.}


Mcecheran*, what are our plans with him?, break him him slowly or send him on loan, personally id send him out on loan and hope he does a 'wilshere'
{Ed002's Note - I expect a season on loan.}

Torres, it looks like he doesn't want to be here, i will stay loyal and get behind him regardless for the good of the team, but if he doesn't get his finger out a lot of fans will turn on him, then his head will drop and it will all be a bit of a disaster. Does anyone know how we plan to use him next year,
{Ed002's Note - Much of the problem is that he has not had a break for a couple of years and much will depend on who arrives.}

Drogba and Anelka, id sell them both, or at the very least one, while we can still get 'decent' money, we've got to be ruthless and get rid of some old faces, its all a bit stale. I know this will leave a big hole, but id like to see Sturridge given a chance to fill it, along with another world class striker.

{Ed002's Note - I expect Anelka to leave.}

Malouda, id get rid, i hate the type of player/person he comes across as, we should be looking at young hungry players, plus we've got Zhirkov who i think could be very good given a decent run,

{Ed002's Note - Malouda may stay.}

Kakuta, how good is he actually?, id loan him out for another season, anyone know what we plan to do with him?

{Ed002's Note - I think perhaps anothe rloan as well.}

Ashley Cole and Lamps, id keep them both another season, hopefully we'll sign a playmaker and can have lamps playing more of a bit part role, giggs like, a calm head in big games etc, id leave the left back situation til the season after next we have a wealth of young left sided players we should see if one of them will come good before spending big money,

{Ed002's Note - I think there is a chance Lampard will leave.}

I won't speculate on transfers because i have no information ha!, but id be more than happy with Van Der Wiel, Ganso, and Neymar, aswel as Sturridge, Benayoun and Alex returning, plux hopefully someone will give Essien a kick up the apse too hes been a bit of a sleeping giant, thoughts and opinions anyone?? anyone??

Hey ed now if roman decides 2 sack carlo at the end of the season will the new manager have different targerts and wot marks out of 10 would theses be plaese ed thanks

van der weil
pastore
ganso
sanchez
neymer
mata
aguero

{Ed002's Note - There are two many what ifs. The targets are the clubs - not teh managers. All of teh players are possible targets but I don't want to be drawn at this time. Each of the players has a number of clubs after him. Mata is the least likely. Aguero has the anticipated wages problem.}
