Chelsea Squad/Transfers – Live-Chat at BC Shout!

Posted by: BlueChampion on May 24, 2012 in News & Rumours 12 Comments 6,632 views

Hope the champions league win has sunk in now! It’s for real folks, we are indeed the Champions of Europe! This is a great time for the club and the supporters as we enter into a very crucial period in our club’s history. Having won the champions league, the much-expected squad refresh is happening now. Some of us expected this to happen much earlier but destiny would have it that these warriors do win the champions league trophy before they bid farewell.

Drogba is leaving. Kalou and Bosingwa would be released. The club is still talking to Malouda, Essien and Ferreira to work out possibilities – one of which would be to let them leave.

Lampard might get a contract extension. We have already bought Marko Marin and Kevin de Bruyne. We have Lukaku and Josh McE who are waiting in the wings. We are still rumoured with Hazard and Moura. Ron Gourlay has said that Torres will be our main man and another big-name striker will play alongside him next season.

So, a lot’s been happening! And loads of decisions too! Who should leave, who should stay and who should join. I was thinking of Chelsea fans getting together at the ‘new and improved’ BC Shout at a certain time and discuss in that live-chat facility on the squad/transfer rumours, news and desires.

Here’s the agenda:

1. Say hello!
2. How does it feel to be European champions?
3. Who should leave Chelsea FC? And why?
4. Who should stay at Chelsea FC? And why?
5. What kind of players should join Chelsea FC?
6. The rumoured players – Falcao, Hulk, Hazard, Moura, Doumbia, Modric etc
7. Any other preferred players?
8. Say thank you & goodbye

I will make a separate post out of the summary of the discussions we had. The archive logs of the chat will also be available, if need be. By posting our views on the blog and on twitter, we create a great communication channel with the club and that’s very important.

I’m suggesting 6:00pm UK time on Saturday. At 6:00pm UK time, let’s all get together at BC Shout for an extended discussion on the developments at Chelsea. All are welcome! Looking forward to talk to you all! Be there at BC Shout! KTBFFH!

DD gone. On time and thanks for all the memories. You are forever true blue.
Ferreira, Essien, Malouda, Bosingwa, Kalou, Mireiles out. Kalou and Mireiles could be used in a player plus cash to improve some positions. they both still have value for EPL teams.
For incoming and who they replace; Chalobah can come in from reserves to play in essien’s holding midfielder position in competition with Obi Mikel and Romeu. This will depend on the game, subs situation and if we are using two or one holder. Chalobah also can doulbe as an under study in centre half and RB. He has the ability to play any of these positions.
Next incoming, Van Der weil at RB. Move Ivanovic to centre half. He is more effective there even if he lacks CH pace and height.
In attacking midfield and attack, Moura, Falcao, Josh or Piazon – Piazon has more polish and Josh knows the lge better (take your pick), Hazard and Cavani. I have gone for strenthening the from back to front with emphasis on the midfield, guile, pace and youth. Cavani and Falcao will replace DD and Anelka, Moura replaces Mireiles and Piazon or Josh will learn from and spell Lampard in spots through the season. Sturridge stays on the right when picked and he is a good candidate for a january sale if all is going ok with the team by then or even next june. He must learn to play for the team. Loan out Lukaku for a full season before making a decision. We have nothing to show for 18m pounds yet. CFC plays upwards of 50 games a year and the squad needs rotation to cover for injuries and fatigue. For my money, we need to bring Courtois back already to keep pushing Cech and provide a dependable No. 2. We do not have one now.

BC I completely forgot to mention Olivier Giroud in my last post, the one you looked at! Giroud would be fantastic signing, he is strong and is a target man like Drogba. If the Falcao deal does not work he is the cheaper alternative.

Hi chelsea fans home and aboard, ??¶ think its a nice decision to allow Drogba move on now, because now is the right time for him to leave. And for Solomon Kalou and Bosingwa, nice decision to release them. And ??¶ also think maluoda should also leave this summer. ¶ think the players that should be coming in this summer should be, Harzard, Lucas, Falcauo, and the right back ???f Holland team. Thank U????? you very much.

Must Stay:Terry, Lampard, Cech, Iva, Luiz, Cahill, Cole, Torres, Mikel, Mata, Rami, Romeu
Neutral: Essien, Meireles, Sturridge, Drogba, Hilario,
Must Leave: Kalou, Malouda, Ferreira, Turnbull, Bosingwa,
More Playing Time: McEachran, Piazon, Bertrand, Lukaku, Kakuta, Lalkovic, Marin, KDB, JB
Transfer In: Hazard, Moura, Van der Wiel

The most important thing is we don’t need any other striker. Two quality wingers are enough to change our game into attacking mentality and get the best out of TORRES / LUKAKU / STURRIDGE.

imagine how good we are with this formation

………………………….Cech…………………………..
Ivan…………..Cahill……………Terry…………..Cole
……………………….. Mikel……………………………
………Ramires………………………..Mata………….
Moura…………………Torres…………………Hazard

Out – drogba,kalou,Ess,flomo,boss

in – no names,only kind of players mentioned.
i don’t think we need a rb if we are to play 4231.
else a new rb,a winger(who can play right),a player to play in the hole,mata not very convincing there,especially away.mata assists have more than not come from left hand side rather than centrally,still need a person who can hold play up top n create. yeah m talking about hazard but lets see-united favourites,if hazard goes to united(and plays centrally)united won’t need kagawa–buy him now.

with him,saubers kobayashi n declining liverpool popularity,we could have a new market hold too,notwithstanding a gr8 player in r team

@Blue Army:
We do need a 2nd maybe a 3rd striker. We play over 60 games a season in five competitions. Think fatigue and injuries. And I would reckon in your formation, you have Moura and Ramires in directly switched positions.

We should also consider Iker Muniain as an alternative to Hazard.

I think other than discussing Players, we should talk about our next manager. It’s honestly shameful for Roman to not give Roberto the job after all he did for us. A for Pep, really? I don’t see him succeeding at Chelsea at all.

So far we had change with AVB and it has left Chelsea in 6th. I would like to see Roberto as manager as he has done an amazing thing, won the Champions League with a team that was left in disarray. Yes CHELSEA WON IT, THEY ARE EUROPEAN CHAMPIONS 2012. Unbelievable! I still remember all the other well qualified managers and not one could win this. So Roberto is qualified to do miracles so who else does anyone want?
There is sadly no one that can replace my hero Didier. I worry now if new players will succeed and it does take time too so I am thinking we need to change slowly and keep the better and more experienced players there. I would give Didier a job in future to teach scoring goals and particularly heading as he is way better than most at this. I would like to know what JT thinks of his heading ability cos that goal from nothing in the final was perfection.
Falcao is probably the best striker about but I wouldnt say the Hulk is bad either.
I am not worried about defence as Chelsea have been criticised for that.
Midfield is where the game is won and the possession factor that so many say is important and is the pure game way. Perhaps CFC need a possession player who can hold the ball and create yet is strong. Is there anyone like this? Perhaps Modric might be worth a try.
It has been a wonderful season for all involved with Chelsea so all of you pat yourself on the back from a mere fan like myself to the top dog Roman we all deserve this years Cups and so many have contributed behind the scenes to make the team have its biggest success. Thanks to the players too who have been magnificent and played great football and drama. UNBELIEVABLE

If Terry gets benched for multiple games do to the Ferdinand issue my first team would look like this…
…………………………Cech…………………………
Luiz…………Cahill………….Ivanovic……….Cole
…………………………Mikel…………………………
……….Ramires…………………………Mata………
………………………..Hazard………………………..
………….Hulk……………………..Torres…………..

Bring Lampard into rotation as long as he stays fit, Romeu for Mikel, Bertrand for Cole. I would love to see Luiz using his pace and skill on the right as a wing back with his other countrymen!!!
