Month: January 2014

Ashley Cole, John Terry and Frank Lampard have been the backbone of Chelsea for around the last decade, the three players have featured regularly for Mourinho in both spells as Chelsea manager.

Demba Ba, Fernando Torres and Samuel Eto’o – three strikers who don’t exactly fill you with excitement, right? Well, imagine being a Chelsea fan. While Manchester United have Wayne Rooney, Robin van Persie, Javier Hernandez and Danny Welbeck, Manchester City have Alvaro Negredo, Sergio Aguero and Edin Dzeko. Then, look back at Chelsea’s choice again. But there is one man who I believe would be perfect for the Stamford Bridge club

With the Telegraph reporting that Chelsea have signed Nemanja Matic from Benfica for £22 million, I thought that I would look at three reasons why it could be a bad deal.

As it looks increasingly likely De Bruyne is heading out of West London to join Bundesliga side Wolfsburg, I can’t help but think selling the highly rated midfielder will be prove to be a mistake in future years.

Chelsea are enjoying a solid season to date but there are a few who aren’t pulling their weight in my eyes. Here are three players who I think should be flogged this month.

He is primarily a central midfielder, despite what talkSPORT say about him being a winger, and he plays from box to box. His energy levels are remarkably high and it allows his team-mates to play with more fluidity, knowing that he will either be forward to support them or sweeping up the mess in front of the defence.

When Mario Balotelli left Manchester City this time last year, he left behind a lot of heavy hearts. Although he frustrated at times, there was never a boring moment when the Italy international was plying his trade in the Premier League. There has been whispers that his return to the English league could be round the corner though, as Chelsea are still supposedly on the lookout for a striker.

Playing alongside the former England skipper would not only benefit his ability but could mean that he is the long-term successor for the west London side.
