Mikel to go for me due to his lack of speed and mobility. But JM likes a deep lying midfielder, someone like makelele. So it depends on him. I have total faith in Mou.

Mikel will shine in the 4-3-3 because there are 3 midfielders and he will act as the anchorman..

but in the 4-2-3-1

we can only play 2 midfielder..both must be good in play making, defending, and passing..Mikel lack of play making..that is one reason why Lampard still relevant..because he can perform and do it all..

Ya, the situation depends on Mou to use 433 or 4231. Just simply can't wait for the season to start.

yes kalas is ready

I've got two RM308 tickets (Block I) for the match on July 21 for sale. Husband couldn't make it due to work commitments. Willing to let go RM280 each.

between mikel and essien? i will chose mikel in a heartbeat.

reason? i am not a risk taker especially in the case of the injury-prone essien. although mikel is ultra-defensive, i think he still got some strategic usage. might be good to have him at the bench (or for rotation) rather than someone at the treatment table.

we going to see a lot of ESSIEN rather than MIKEL, because he is one of JM favourite utility man, he is getting a lot game time even during on loan at RM as right back.

i think that is on completely different perspective. i am seeing essien as a competitor for the DM place while your justification is based on him playing as utility player. but still, will he play if he is injured? i am not underlying his ability to play well. my opinion is purely on my tendency not to take risk in keeping an injury-prone player at the expense of a reliable (and not a favourite) player.

still, i would be really glad if both of them stayed as they provide depth for the team.

Ya i know ESSIEN age is there, but my perspective is not just he is JM fav and being utility player is a bonus for any team. Injury is a "IF" question, ROBBEN are known by us as injury prone but he is ECL champion now, same can be say as RvP. Even is a 433 with anchorman, i dont see the current MIKEL gonna start solely because of his low work rate. JM players have always been hardworking especially in the midfield. Even the past JM 433, the DM deploy is a ball winner type, which MIKEL is totally not the same mould to MAKELELE or ESSIEN.

The DM order i see at the moment is RAM > ESSIEN > MIKEL > ROMEU. But i believe workrate can be easily improve, a high work rate MIKEL will be first in my order because defensive he is solid and his height help in set pieces. Some complain he is not creative, but is just fantasy football to be able to field all attacking player, the team need balance, a 4231 with a trident amigos + striker + CM + 2 support full back that is more than enough firepower already.

There is 2 starter player i have doubt that whether they will fit with JM plan, MIKEL (low workrate) and TORRES (not the all rounder striker type) but i believe TORRES definitely will get his chance at the start of the season, but as a poacher, if he dont score enough goal he will be give way to target man like BA or LUKAKU that contribute to more team play even they are not scoring.

Chelsea training session is open for all valid ticket holder, no need training pass.

Chelsea will step up their pursuit of Daniele De Rossi after Roma agreed a fee with PSV Eindhoven for Kevin Strootman, according to the Daily Mirror.

The report claims Roma will now consider offers for De Rossi after all but agreeing to the signing of Strootman.


The Serie 'A' club are believed to want £11m plus a season-long loan deal for Chelsea's latest Brazilian recruit Wallace. The full-back was signed by the Stamford Bridge club last season from Fluminense in a £4m deal.

Jose Mourinho is a huge fan of De Rossi, having twice tried to sign him before when manager of Inter Milan and Real Madrid.

With John Obi Mikel linked with a move to Turkey, the Chelsea boss sees the 29-year-old Italy international as the perfect man to step into the role at the base of the Blues midfield.

Whats your opinion on this? Will De Rossi fit into our midfield? Anxious to see De Rossi + Lampard combo. Or imagine De Rossi + Van Ginkel! Both so energetic!

if 11m i think ok la. 29years old. might have 3-4 years left to offer.

11m can consider a bargain for player at his peak, a lot of club want to prise him away all without success, part of the reason is player himself dont want to leave ROMA i seriously doubt this news

Van Ginkel to stay with the squad this season?
hmm.. bold decision. Excited to see how it turns out.

Hope Piazon and Ake get good loan moves next season. A mid-table team in any of the top leagues will do, of course preferably EPL. But minutes played is the more important factor.
