denver, i have the exact same ideas as you, but i think we are less likely to see podolski due to his inconsistence but i would be so happy to have him i wouldnt care too much
marcelo is brazillian, id be happy to have him although he isnt the strongest of defenders, only thing with that is hed be looking for game time and im not too sure hed get much with zhirkov set to come in

im sure good things are coming this summer

Denver my friend I was’nt saying lets buy them all lol, I was only saying if we want to improve on the current squad with new international players then those should be the names we should be considering because they fit the mould of Chelsea players, big, strong, aggresive and passionate for football at the same time. Peronally I would offload alteast 7/8 players from the current Chelsea squad and start from a fresh start because lets face it we do need a fresh start. I say we should do all our shopping before the pre-season so that the new team can gel together and the gaffer can impose his style of play on the team. Another thing that people seem to be asking is, why is Guus buying new players when he wont be staying, well dear friends football isn’t that hard to understand. The new Chelsea manager has most likely already signed the contract and Guus is simply playing the middle man (that’s if he himself is not the permanent manager) and buying + attracting all the new players (because of his reputation) and once all this is done and dusted the new manager will be introduced + I beleive Guus will stay at Chelsea as the Director of Football which is always a good news because this way our accademy will also prosper.

Replying to bluefanforever: i don´t think that would be that big problem this season. All guus would do is help find and convice talents to sign for chelsea. I´m sure the manager would have more say on this matter. and if its true that Rijkaard is coming, then it would be lot easier, as both have similar style of play and understanding.

Replying to TruePlatinum: I like the big german (gomez)but i think i like Podolski more for the LB we could go for Real madrids LB Marcelo (brazillian i think) but maybe Yuri could double there

i just hope Gus dsnt make changes to the team…buys like 5 new guys (who ever)..and then leaves midway….for the next coach to come and say..i dint want these players….etc etc…im my opinion every coach has their own unique style of footballing…..training …motivating..etc….and chelsea would need the long term coach (if we are planning to get one) to decide who comes and goes…not Gus…(if hes gna leave)

Replying to Jaz: thats a damn !! strong squad! how would you fit in all those starters in the team
thats a rock solid mid field by way!!!
issue however would be – if we get VDV.. we couldnt go for diego
it just seems link a over load to me. but you have great eye for talent though

The next gaffer should be Rijkaard in my opinion, mainly because he has Champions League pedigree and knows how to win titles and work with big names, also he can attract some high class players to Chelsea. It’s simply in Dutch blood to produce good footballers and coaches, but the best thing about Rijkaard is his vision for younger players. He is somewhat a “Arsene Wenger” mould who can build his team based on power, pace, expereince and the mental ability and some of those factors are certainly missing at Chelsea. He would most definetly get the best out of Stoch, Di Santo, Sinclair, Woods, Tejeira, Kakuta, Cork and Mancienne and will continue to bring through the next generation of Chelsea stars.

Realistically we have to change the structure of the current Chelsea squad because it is one thing being positive and another being blind. At the moment most of us are fooling ourselves to beleive we can win it all when the reality is we are not good enough to compete with Liverpool, Utd and Arsenal, hell even Spurs have better talent than some of our squad. Im not being picky but for next season we have to let go of Deco, Ballack, Malouda, Belletti, Minerio and Anelka or Drogba. Players such as Ivanovic are most likely to leave and maybe Alex and Ferreira aswell, which means we need to buy a central defender along with promoting Mancienne. Scheva and Pizzaro are no good to Chelsea aswell, which clearly means the squad needs some fresh blood. Drenthe, Zhirkov, Quaresma, Van Der Vaart, Diego, Ribbery, Aguero, Benzema, David Silva, David Villa are the names we should try and bring (not all of them obviouslly). We need a blend of 7 Midfeilders and 3 Strikers with 6 Defenders and 2 Goal Keepers to keep the squad fresh. This will also give the gaffer the option to change the game on wish, which at the moment with our current squad is impossible to do.
