new to the site, so before i start don't ridicule me too much if i make any mistakes haha!
With the new season approaching i am looking forward to seeing chelsea line up as we now have real competition within the midfield, and especially some 'natural' width which was missing last year, i was just wondering how fans expected to see the team line up come our 1st game with a fully fit team and if we do not sign anyone else(although there is always speculation another player may come in or some players will be sold.)
I am quite happy with the balance and also the approach to signing some young talent, and would only really like to see maybe one player(romeu) leave on loan for some experience and we keep the rest. I think if we were to play a
4-2-3-1 next season and then give some players like kakuta and benayoun, who both have wonderful footballing ability and brains we will see a much more attractive type of football and at the same time keep our strong spine of strength and power to give a real quality look to the team...add to the fact competition will be fierce and we can rotate players with no fear of weakening the team, I believe we will have a positive season and see no reason why we can't challenge for major honours.
in respect to the line up, I would love to see mikel, who i think is a greta player for us and very underrated play alongside benayoun as our 2 DM, with yossi doing the pirlo role of deep lying creator, with ramires,essien and lampard as the backups, who both can do wonderful jobs and if called upon would be able to slot into the system and give us balance, and then have kakuta(amazing promise and flair) hazard and mata as a 3-pronged interchanging attacking format which would undoubtedly cause problems to the opposition with their speed skill and vision, whilst torres upfront would be guaranteed to be given chances to score, or sturridge and lukaku for that matter.....with players like marin and de bruyne on the bench to give us attacking width and the CF battling for the one spot there is real compeition.
when you see the promising young full backs hutchinson and bertrand, both fast attacking FBs, but who can also put in a strong defensive display along with A.cole and ferriera(cover) another RB maybe arriving we are well covered there, whilst it can be argued that we possess 4 equally matched CBs all of whom would easily get into other top teams in the prem starting XI and who can all play out from the back....i would then say as we have again loaned out the belgian GK we need some real competition for cech, so i would break the bank for lloris of lyon who is available for 12mil and who would offer real presence in goal and can be the NO1 without fear, as dejac has not progressed as well as th club had hoped and turnbull is unreliable.
so we don't really need much else apart from another GK, maybe a right back , and a winger/CF if we loan anyone out, the squad is very competitive in every department.
What do other chelsea /non chelsea fans think...
