Chelsea's Squad Analasys - TalkSoccer

Goalkeeper- Sorted with Cech for years to come, I doubt Cudicini will stay and I doubt whether Makalamby or Pidgeley will stay on as replacements.

Full back- Ferreira is the best right back in England imo. Johnson is the best young right back in England imo. Bridge looks good and i would love to see Keenan become a squad player, but somehow you have the feeling that it is a weak position

Centre Back- Terry, Gallas, Carvalho, Huth, keep em together and you have the best defensive set in the world.

Central Midfield- Under Jose we will almost always play with a defensive triangle, this is how i see the that triangle.

..................makalele
..................parker
smertin........................lampard
tiago..........................jarosik
Jarosik

Nuno Morais is the hot prospect for a defensive role in the team whether its in Makalele's hole or at the back.

Wingers- Obviously Duff and Robben, with Cole able to fill in on both sides and if both wingers are injured we revert to a diamond and have two strikers. I think signing a mainly right sided attacking midfielder i.e. Kaka or Joaquin could either make us invincible or could upset the harmony of the squad.

Strikers- Drogba, Gudjohnson, Kezman (and forsell not cole)......I dont think we need anyone else and i certainly dont want another, unless they are young and one for the future, like Chevanthon or this Mikel John Obi Jose has talked about.

Funny you should say that as Figo keeps hinting he want to go there

Too too old.Gerrard,Totti,or Ronnie for me to get the other attacking player

None of whom have any interest in joining Chelski.

gerrard will leave if there is no champ league next season.

totti will only go to real madrid.

i cant see ronnie leaving barca for several years, unless the vice president is forced out of the club and chelsea bid huge (which wont happen).

The Rule · 04-02-2005, 12:18 PM

we'll be in CL next season.

You may well get 4th...only cos no one else will be good enough to challenge you for it.Top 3 will stay the same..though not necessarily in same order

The game at the weekend made me reassess the necessity for players.

Up front, gudjohnson isnt good enough, Kezman needs to seriously liven up, therefore i think we need to get either Crespo back or give Forsell a chancce.

We also definately need a top class attacker like; Kaka, Ronaldinho, Joaquin or Rosicky. Or another excellent young player; like schneider, robinho, Iniesta, Menez, Elano or beasley.
Cole is simply not good enough to cover for duff or robben at the moment and like kezman he really needs to perform to prove me or Jose wrong.

the best three attackers we have are robben duff and drogba and replacements for them are cole, kezman and gudjohnson.

I dont believe that we need a replacement for bridge, but a young talent at that position (like johnson at right back) would be great.

central defence and midfield are poifect.

Kezman needs a run mate,IMO hes like Forlan if not given a run of games he wont score.I think he could be our best striker if given a run.He shows the technical ability he has its just hes so unlucky with his shots.James had an amazing game on any other keeper Kezza would have scored that spectacular shot he had.

I dunno about Totti at Madrid I just couldn't see it.Lets gets Zola to talk to him about a move to Chelsea
