Fans blaming the managers I'm gonna blame the technical director! We have no bench! We need wingers who ran at defenders like Bale for example! Robben use to do it brilliantly for us when fit. We have no back-up for Torres and no Plan B games like Fulham where they play defensive you need to go 442 and stretch the game. It's alright having Oscar,Marin,Mata,Hazard but to have a balance you can really play 2 out of 4. I'm backing Rafa to sort it out.

We have a winger who runs at players, Marin was on for minutes and did more than the rest of our "wingers" did the whole game, first thing he did was beat a man and deliver a quality cross! He needs to play!

My issue over the whole season to date has been the lack of rotation. Moses and Marin offer something different, pace and directness. We have players who can play different positions and therefore we should be ale to change the game from the bench...for some reason our Managers seem reluctant to do so. {Ed002's Note - Marin has been injured much of the time.}

Agree0 Disagree0

Another problem is that we are only playing the same formation over and over and tbh i dont like it i'd rather play a 4-3-2-1 / 3-5-2 / 4-4-2 but the major problem we still have is Torres we wont be a title challenging team with Torres as our striker he is simply not good enough.

Hazard has gone off the boil - which is a worry.
He has stopped taking people on and passes rather than taking the shot on.

A bit like Torres !!

Agree0 Disagree0

Formations don't win games! Players do and if our players put in some decent performances we would win. How many Fulham players would get in the Chelsea side? Zero

Agree0 Disagree0

torres needs someone next to him he cant play the lone striker role torres brings players into the game the reason he isnt at his best is because he needs someone to run of and link up with he can play the lone striker for spain because there style of play chelsea need to put someone with torres and you will see the change

Agree0 Disagree0

Zero Fulham players would get in the Chelsea side? Pretty sure every fan on this site would swap their no.9 with ours. Berbatov is pure class.

Is it true Chelsea are looking to sign Karim Benzema? {Ed002's Note - Not right now.}

I'd rather have Higuain if we're looking at Real's strikers, he'd do wonders with our trio behind him.

Since when did we have a choice of which real madrid players we want?

Agree0 Disagree0

Higuan was offered to us last January in return for us dropping out of the race for Cavani. I think that boat has well and truly sailed, unfortunately.

Has our interest in Ricky Van Wolfswinkel changed?

Its said he considering other options than his current club, and i really am i fan of him. Aswell as the club isent in the best financial state a offer of around 8m would be hard to refuse for them, he has a big future ahead of him.
Arsenal, Liverpool and Sunderland are reported to have interest in him. {Ed002's Note - Chelsea has no interest in Wolfswinkel. As for the interest of other clubs - there is plenty but not from those you mention.}

We should get Jose back if the Pep deal stalls. I dont want Rafa to get th full job because of all the stuff he has said about Chelsea in the past

Believable10 Unbelievable8

We should get jose instead of pep, not if the deal stalls.

Agree0 Disagree0

Tactically Rafa is better than Di Matteo was I want to beat those northerners to the title irrespective of who is at the helm would you rather not win the league or win with Rafa I know which one i would prefer as a Chelsea supporter

Agree0 Disagree0

Of course we'd be happy to win the title with Rafa. It's just highly unlikely to happen, that's all.
Regarding the original post, Jose should be our number one target, not the fall back in Pep turns us down. It seems that he's falling out of love with Real (and they him), so come back home Jose, you'll always be welcome!

ED002 reports in Spain suggest Mourinho wants to sign Courtois is that true? {Ed002's Note - It has been suggested on several occasions that there is interest.}

Believable2 Unbelievable5

Would Chelsea listen to an offer for him though ED? {Ed002's Note - There is no intention to sell him.}

Hi ed would like to ask u a question on if we don't manage to persuade falcao if he's who we're going for what do u think they will do if they don't persuade him to come in January stick with just Torres Or panic buy {Ed018's Note - there will be no panic buying, I would possibly expect a push to sign Bony to happen}

Believable2 Unbelievable3

We are in trouble if we think Bony wil solve our issues we need a Falcao Lewondowski Soldado type player not Wilfred Bony

Agree0 Disagree0

That's the problem with us, we think everyone has to be a superstar to be a success at the club. Why cant we make shrewd signings like other top clubs, united with Hernandez and Smalling Arsenal with Vermalean and Kolscieny and many more examples if u look abroad. They dont have to be a superstar to succeed.

I posted yesterday to say Falcao will not be joining in Jan or the summer! I also said Torres, Bony and Lukaku will be our strikers next season. I have 2 agree's and 6 disagree's, Im guessing poeple are disagreeing with their hearts and not their heads!! Bony will be a very good addition to our squad with out spending 50 mil!! To unnamed poster! Why do we need a Falcao, Lewondowski or soldado type player? What have they got that Bony hasn't? Never mind the extra 20-30mil we will have to pay! DJ

What i would prefer is:

Ricky Van Wolfswinke he is very, very good off the ball and is a clinical striker who is gonna be a very feared striker when he joins a decent club.

I wouldnt mind Llorente cause he is cheap because he is off contract very soon and want a move to a big club, he has proven he is a great striker and one we could use.

Wilfried Bony is performing very good atm in the dutch league but he relies alot on his psysical attibutes which could be a problem in PL, apart from that he looks superb and have already scored 20 goals this season.

One or Two these 3 strikers would benefit us alot but then again everyone wud.
Llorente - proven goal score and experienced
Ricky - probably has the best future and has a huge talent
Bony - alot similar to Lukaku but is abit ahead of him in devolopment.
