if we really sign Oscar and Cavani..then our lineup will be..

1st 11

---------------Cech--------------
--Iva---Terry----Luiz---Cole----
------Mikel----- Lampard--------
Cavani-------Mata-------Hazard-
---------------Torres--------------

2nd 11

---------------Turnbull----------------
--Hutch--Cahill--Iva---Bertrand----
-------Ramires----- Miereles----------
Marin-------Oscar----KD Bruyne---
--------------Sturridge---------------

still there is no place for the Lukaku and McEachran..or I miss anyone important..?? Romeu might consider to play as CB again..

that list only players by position..not considering the versatility of players that can swoop places...so the team  depth is good..


Essien??

I also hope Oscar will be the last signing. Juggling big names might be too big of a task for RDM. Iva will defo be the first choice RB, 2nd choice will either be our youth or experience player.

I like Cavani. But having him and Torres in the same team might cause some might end up worse. Plus we have lukaku and sturridge.

Balance between youth and first choice is key. This is something i admire from SAF. So i hope the club and RDM know what they doing.

hulk? chelsea is like going back to first mourinho season. buy big names to put on bench lol

Police investigate 'choc ice' tweet

Police have confirmed they have begun investigations over alleged racial abuse towards Ashley Cole on Twitter.

Rio Ferdinand made headlines over the weekend when he retweeted a comment labelling Cole a "choc ice" over his decision to support John Terry in court after he was accused of racially abusing Anton Ferdinand.

Ferdinand had tweeted: "I hear you fella! Choc ice is classic hahahahahahha!!"

The term is often taken to mean 'black on the outside and white on the inside', though the Manchester United defender insisted that was not his understanding of the phrase, tweeting: "What I said yesterday is not a racist term. Its a type of slang/term used by many for someone who is being fake. So there."

However, several Twitter users have complained to police that Chelsea left-back Cole had been the victim of racial abuse and an investigation is now underway over the original "choc ice" tweet, which was believed to have been made by a user in the Derbyshire area.

A spokeswoman for Derbyshire Constabulary said: "We have received complaints from members of the public regarding alleged racist comments made on a social networking site.

"These concerns will be fully investigated to establish whether any criminal offences have been committed."

..Hulk not yet a Chelsea players..and I dont think we will get both..it will be either Hulk or Cavani..
both of our target Cavani and Hulk both can play on the right wing...so Torres still a main man..we are creating another Drogba Anelka combo again..If Drogba on the bench..Anelka will take the main striker..with the current rumors then If Torres injured or something..then either new signing Hulk/Cavani or Sturridge will lead the front line..

I really hope Chelsea will become stronger this year.
and also Arsenal and Liverpool.
I want the league to be more interesting, more challenging and I want the other big teams to give ManUtd & citeh troubles.
Eden hazard, Marko marin plus some other players will certainly make Chelsea stronger and dangerous like how Robben, Duff and Gudjohnsen used to be.
Bring back the glory from Mourinho era!
You must defeat MU or MC 3-0 at their own turf.
BLUE IS THE COLOUR!!!!!

yup it has to be either one. if it comes down to those two, i have a slight preference for hulk as he's more versatile out on the right. cavani as far as i know is most effective as a CF?

even so, if we only end up with victor moses and a RB that would be just fine as well! so many competitions, i'd like some of our players like kakuta and lukaku to have at least some hope of being involved in our season. excited to see RDM's strategy on youth development, however minor.

that video was before the euro i think.. promotion for the states tour..he still with the spain's Olympic football team..
