Will Morinho's arruival at Chelsea, he has stated that his ideal squad for next season is 25 with 4 of them being goal tenders. This would mean that their would have to be many releases from CHelsea and this is who I believe it should be

Goal Keepers
Jugen Macho
Neil Sullivan

Defence
Mario Melchiot
Winston Bogarde


Midfeild
Alexei Smerton
Joe Cole
Mario Stanic
Emmanuel Petit
Veron
Zendon
Gronkaer

Forward
Oliveira
Mutu
Crespo

That would mean the squad that remains at this moment would be

Goalie
Cudocini
Cech
Ambrosio
Pidgeley (LOAN)

Defense
Johnson
Babayaro
Gallas
Terry
Bridge
Huth
Desailly

Midfield
Robben
Makelele
Lampard
Duff
Geremi
Parker

Strikers
Oliveira
Hasselbaink
Gudjohnson
Cole (maybe loan spell)

This would give Morinho to buy 4 players, wut do u guys think

Cole is defenitly on loan at Charlton next season, without a recall clause.

Part of the Scott Parker deal.

i think hes said he doesnt want to go back to charlton

Why in the hell did Parker leave Charlton????? He was in the starting 11 and actually got more attention there than he will ever get at chelsea. Sell Outs????????????:kader:

Veron is on load on Inter for next year.

MOURINHO'S POSSIBLE SQUAD
Goalkeepers
Petr Cech
Carlo Cudicini
Marco Ambrosio

Defenders
Wayne Bridge
John Terry
William Gallas
Robert Huth
Glen Johnson
Celestine Babayaro
New right-back
New centre-back

Midfielders:
Frank Lampard
Scott Parker
Arjen Robben
Damien Duff
Claude Makelele
Joe Cole
Geremi
New midfielder
New midfielder

Strikers:
Eidur Gudjohnsen
Adrian Mutu
Hernan Crespo
New striker

He should put Mutu back into Attacking midfield and buy two strikers.

so Oliveira will go and stay at the same time?:confused:

Oiveira is a great player, you don't know what your missing. He's th Portuguese Reyes. Beleive me

Is JFH leaving ?

I hope so... :D

Seriously, with that sort of depth and with Mourinho as manager, it's really gonna be tough for Chelsea not to be REAL competitors next season.

True. If they don't win anything though, Roman will have the Mafia on Mourinho's ass. (H)

They can have the Carling Cup.. If they can be our youth. :mrpimp:

judging portos play, id say mourinho will field a successful chelsea, but a very dull one.

who ever leaves out Smertin is a f*cking idiot

he is the best defensive mid and hugely underrated

I'm sensing a bias in this thread!

Well, coming from someone as unbiased as you, that means a lot. Oh, and dont kid yourself, Abromovich bought him (or overpayed, 3.5mil???) for the sole reason of pleasing Russians, and feeling like hes doing a good deed.

Joe Cole to CSKA Moskva!

you never even seen him play so what do you know, ask any Portsmouth fan he will tell you how good he is. One time I was watching he over ran the whole field 2x the distance Henry usually runs, the EPL defenders didn't even know what hit them, what about that game agaist Arsenal, Henry couldn't shake him off. The tackles, the perfect passes, he is world class. I am not even talking about when he plays for Russia where he knows all the players for over 5 years. Just cause you don't know sh*t about the player doesn't mean he sucks. Abromovich didn't buy him because he is Russian, he bought him because he is good.

hes nothing special. an above average holding midfielder. and i did see him play this season.

yeh smertin aint much special, mourinho wants ferrira (rightback) deco (attacking mid) and morientes (striker) which i think are good exciting buys although im scared tht cudicini will not b first choice and will fall behind cech, but as cudicini is a class keeper, i think hell still be first choice keeper in a year.

Bogarde already left, his contract expired.

They got Smertin cus they couldn't get Vieira off us.
Besides, Makelele is imo better than Smertin.

makelele is sposed to be a failure but i think hes played great

Players like Makelele don't get much credit because they hardly knock in the goals.
Many people don't realise how well he's done when he's given a chance.

I'm terribly sorry but Roman knows jack-**** about football.

Oliviera won't be leaving.

The 21 outfield players Mourinho wants are for the first team squad only. Reserve and youth players like Oliviera, Nicolas, Pidgeley etc will carry on playing in the reserves and are not part of the 21.

They will be brought in for games if they are needed to add to the first team because of injuries/suspensions etc.

I saw Smertin at Fratton park, and he was great. He is under-rated, but obviously not in the same class as Viera and Ukalele.

I hope they loan Robert Huth out to a smaller club. He's very talented but he needs experience. :(

He'll hopefully be ahead of Desailly next year so should be getting more games anyway

Exactly, I have no idea why they keep playing him as a striker it pisses me off and it has degraded his game some.

Maybe it has something to do with that he IS a striker!?! He's no midfielder!

Erm, he's a forward.

i hope they keep Crespo and give him a regular chance in the starting rotation, and give the Crespo/Mutu strike partnership a decent chance to develop

i hope Rangers can convice some of the cuts go come play for them

who's gonna wanna go to Rangers?(no offence) maybe Huth :confused:

It is not that they didn't show up, the two centers Onopko and Ignashevitch are injured so Smertin will have to fall back. I think he will do great because he is consistent and class when he plays for Russia.

I still think Chelsea will hold on to him, he is the best replacement for Makalele or they can play together in a 4-2-3-1.

One striker for Chelsea?
Man, that's the most ridiculous thing I've heard in my life.
How on earth are they gonna keep the millions of strikers they have happy if they're only gonna play 1 at a time?

in my opinion they should sell all those incosistent b*tches and get 1 good striker of Ronaldo's sort and have Crespo as sub

Mutu = sucks
Hasselbaink = sucks
Gudjohnsen = sucks
Crespo = the only good striker at Chelsea

Idiot.

1st, you said Gudjohnsen sucks? He other than Forssell was Chelsea's best forward last year on a regular basis. Hasselbaink is class and Mutu has just had a tough time of it being played out of position while trying to find his feet in the premier league.

But you don't understand because you have the IQ of a dead bird.

Maybe next year

Firstable you are a f*cking moron. Rob.
I didn't mean they suck they are good forwards but not good enough because they can't provide consistency, with the money Abromovich has he should sell these idiots and buy strikers which are 10 times as good for example Shevchenko, Ronaldo, van Nistelrooy etc and no one gives a f*ck how good that blonde was 50 years ago we are talking about now based on last seasons performance.

with Hasselbaink and the cricket footed Gudjhonsen Chelsea won't get anywhere Mutu is better than those two but still not on my top 10 strikers list

and my IQ is higher than yours... idiot

what just because you are a moderator you think you have some special rights to call a person who is expressing his OWN OPINION an idiot and not expect to get flamed afterwards?

You guys should loan Mario Melchiot to BVB. He's more than welcomed here. :p

Melchoit is a free man. His contract ended

Oh. :(

Eidur Gudjohnsen is a very good player, a bitter diving one at that, but still is very, very good and underrated by many.

He was better than Mutu last season, anyway.

Oh and, a big haha to Eugene. Scum.

Crespo>Aliadiere>Hasselbaink>Gudjohnson

Why is Aliadiere even mentioned here?

Get a ******* clue.

Um yeah because at Chelsea the f*cking tard known as Ranieri played him as a striker. At Parma he was an attacking mid and that is also his position for the Romanian national team, he is not a good striker but he is a very good attacking midfielder and when he is played at that position he not only is dangerous himself but he involves the strikers with very clever through passes and one two's, so shut it.

Poorly done sarcasm.

Hasselbaink was promised by a candidate to Guimarães elections as a signing.

The portuguese press told that Ferreira is confirmed at Chelsea in a deal of 20M €.

What does Ali have to do with anything we've talked about in this thread?
Anyway, I don't think Gudjohnsen is a worst striker compared to Ali. Gudjohnsen is class. And he's been a tad better than Hasselbaink.
Crespo is better if given a proper chance.

Just saw that Punkt. It is on Skysports now.

Anyway, unless Chelsea bring in a more consistent striker, they'd be complete fools to not bring Forssell back.

I think our current strikers will be consistant under Mourinho if they get consistant starts. Under Ranieri they were denyed the chance to get into a "rhythm".

I doubt Mourinho could do much to keep everyone happy.
Some of them have to go.
I think Claudio did a very good job in trying to keep them happy.. But as you said, his method denied them a chance of getting into a "rhythm".

Mutu = sucks



I take great offence to this assessment of this misused and under-used worldclass player

I thought it had already been agreed that Forssell will stay with Birmingham for this season.

As for Gudjohnsen and Hasselbaink it might be a risk to let only one of them go because they've been at their best when playing alongside each other, right?

Gudjohnsen has done pretty well playing by himself.

Exactly.


That was one of the only 'faults' that I saw in Ranieri. With Mourinho, I think we will play Crespo and Mutu more than the other two. Not to say Eidur and JFH are bad...just not as good:)

ever heard of the word "sarcasm" ???

I think Ranieri was a bit overpraised by ppl. His constant rotating was a TERRIBLE move. He tried to please to many ppl.

Frank "The Tank" Lampard > Mutu at Attacking Midfielder.

I think mutu will be a star at chelsea this coming season. He has shown in games the quality he has, also the 17 goals or so he scored for Parma.

I think Mourinho will use him better and give him a real chance the shine. Mutu was also unlucky at the end of the season when he was out for weeks with an injury.

Carlton Cole will stil be on loan to Charlton next year, as part of the Scott Parker sale

and get rid of Babayaro, Gallas, Desailly, Petit, Stanic, Melchiot, Sullivan, Macho, Joe Cole, and Bogarde, all are useless

Loan out Ambrosio and Huth so they can play every week at a smaller club, and Smertin should stay another year at Portsmouth

Have to agree with you there $teauA, as in all the games I saw him play in last season, he looked like a player out of position. He would try to play off the shoulder of the central defender but was usually out muscled to the ball. He looked so much better on the rare occasions he dropped off the defender, came deeper to recieve the ball and then ran at them before slipping in a through ball to the other striker.

I really do hope we keep him this summer and I hope Mourinho plays him as an AM, as I'm sure we'll see the real Mutu...the one that's world class.
