mighty blues Posted January 1, 2009 Share Posted January 1, 2009 Why do people wanna get rid of Drogba. He is our best striker by an absolute mile. I cannot see anyone who could replace him in the next 1-2 years. Having said that we do need another decent CF as cover but I don't know who. I'm with you on shipping Deco and especially Malouda but in that case we will have to bring in a top class left winger and I don't know if Ben Arfa could cut it at the top this soon or even in the future. Bring back Robben and the glory days I say. This is how we should line up ideally after January. Cech Bosingwa Carvalho Terry A. Cole Mikel Essien Lampard J. Cole Someone New (but who) Drogba Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mag man Posted January 1, 2009 Share Posted January 1, 2009 The problem with Drogba is that his a complete tit. He also looks like he cant be bothered in games. However when his playing well and putting effort in there arent many strikers better. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
macca69 Posted January 1, 2009 Author Share Posted January 1, 2009 4-5-1 is not working for us. We need to play with two up top. Drogba (or someone who will give at least 90% each match (drogba gives 40-50% most matches)) and then a pacy striker who can score from further out then 6 yards. Drogba really isn't that amazing. I would rather see a palyer who will play for the club not the money. Also Drogba may be our best striker but we have players like Lampard, Carvalho and Cech who far supersede Didier Drogba as Chelsea's best player.

shanyi Posted January 1, 2009 Share Posted January 1, 2009 Bridge is off to Man City for £10m apparently. Good price but a shame to see him go, he's (almost) always been great for us and has a good attitude, though he was never going to get past Ashley Cole's reputation. Hopefully he can establish himself at Citeh and maybe start competing properly for the England spot. It'll be interesting to see what happens to fill the gap he'll leave, Betrand has apparently shown glimpses of talent at Norwich but is still very young and raw though more likely is that we sign some middle-of-the-road foreigner and overpay him.

macca69 Posted January 2, 2009 Author Share Posted January 2, 2009 Chelsea? Never! I hope Bridge doesn't go, and for £10m that is a bargain for city. Ivanovic will be made to play there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mag man Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 Wasnt there a story saying we wouldnt sell anyone to Man City because they got Robinho. We could make an exception for Malouda Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bridgekings Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 Don't know why we would hold a grudge against City for that. Can hardly blame them for anything. Shame to see Bridge go but I don't begrudge him the move, deserves to play regular football. I think Bertrand signed on till the end of the season with Norwich, would like him to be given an opportunity at some stage though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
deez0r Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 Would be sad to see Bridgey go, hes been great whenever he has played for us, just unlucky that we have such a great left back in Ashley. Hopefully we can use the money generated (if he goes) for a decent winger. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
deez0r Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 Apparently Scolari is lining up Yuri Zhirkov to replace Bridge (can cover left back) and would be a decent winger as well. Now if we can get Malouda out I will be a lot more optimistic. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
macca69 Posted January 2, 2009 Author Share Posted January 2, 2009 I think Ashley is superior to Bridge, but Bridge always done well and he was another Englishmen in our squad. Will be disappointed to see him go and would hope Kenyon would have the sense to get more than £12m for him. Yuri Zhirkov would be a good replacement as he would be able to play the way Ashley plays and the left wing position. But i can't see us paying less than £10m for him tbh. Hopefully we can ship out: Malouda and Deco, and replace Malouda with someone like Ben Arfa or David Silva (dreamland) and then get a big bastard up front.

mag man Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 Maybe the reason he never played youth before was because he was getting to know the younger players Hopefully I see some of these guys in the game, I havent been to a game since the Bordeaux match so am pretty excited.

Skoolblowsme Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 Bridge is a good player and I like him but he was jus never going to be a regular and I wish him all the best at Man City, I think he will be a great success there. I don't mind Alex leaving because I want to see Mancienne get some pitch time, both those sales will raise funds for a winger or a striker Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mag man Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 I love Bridge, I actually used to think he was better than Ashley Cole. This season Cole really has been awesome and Bridge wasnt going to play much. Was he really on £85k a week? Thats a lot for a backup player. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Philip Rolfe Posted January 3, 2009 Administrators Share Posted January 3, 2009 Matt Le Tissier's predicted 6-0. I hope so. Hope Sawyer, Stoch or Bruma get some time, will add to the list of players I've seen come through the u18s and Reserves in person (Sinclair, Sahar, Woods, Stoch, Hutchinson, plus Taylor as a sub). Plus it'd be amazing for Sawyer because he's had some really, really bad injuries since he was 11 and has just managed to persevere so well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
