I'll be doing a 5000-word essay on why I despise Adebayor very soon. Worst possible move if you ask me. @Finnegan. I’ll be doing a 5000-word essay on why I despise Adebayor very soon.

I'd welcome that move, I think he's a great forward - except he kinda fits the same role drogba does: a large, target front man capable of playing on his lonesome. rumor has it that ancelotti wants to bring adebayor to milan. but if ancelotti is at chelsea next season, that means there’s a possibility adebayor could come to chelsea.

I honestly think that Malouda has really proved a point after Hiddink's arrival. He was crossing, tracking back, showing fitness and stamina, and surprisingly scoring 14 goals already this season in all competitions. I would like to see Kalou become a replica and run the right wing regularly (Kinda like how I felt Bosingwa was a carbon copy of Ashley Cole). Of course, do not get me wrong, Drogba and Anelka have shown class and their ability, but the reason I would like to see Chelsea splash some cash on a young up and coming striker is because say Anelka and Drogba get injured (which of course is unlikely but you never know) then Chelsea have only Di Santo as a substitute target man whom I think still has a lot of room to improve. Kalou and Joe Cole I prefer to see on the wings so that perhaps the style would imitate that of the Special One. Just my 2 cents... @ Finnegan

I have no problem with a player thinking he's the best player on the pitch, as long as in the past he's done something to prove he has the right to think that. at any rate, I don't know if we're really in the market for a forward - drogba and anelka are good, and with any luck joe cole will be back next season and he's a great goal scoring threat from the wing (something malouda is not) and if we're REALLY lucky, kalou will find some goal scoring form instead of just being the sneaky fish he is. course, I wouldn't oppose it. but I really, really like chelsea's fast pace wing play and would love to see a quick, skilled, and attack minded winger come in - like the mourinho days with arjen robben and damien duff. @ mouzinho I’m wary of pulling balotelli, which is strange, since I kind of like players who have an aura of arrogance. it’s the same reason I liked jose mourinho. the problem is that balotelli has that aura of arrogance without really having proved that he deserves to be arrogant – and that is something I don’t want.

I was thinking the same for some odd reason. And to be honest I would have rather had Liverpool win over Manchester. The new kit looks like a rugby kit, similar to the all-blacks kit perhaps. I like them... I am hoping to see Hiddink field a very young side versus Sunderland, and looking forward to see the tactic he has been using recently against Everton. I think the team desperately needs a new striker. Any suggestions on who? I would love to see Zarate or Pandev (perhaps Balotelli). And maybe a young substitute for Ashley Cole so that we don't have to face selection problems like we did against Barcelona. Perhaps a player like Bale or Guilherme from Almeria in La Liga. Next one is ours! Hard luck lads! @ Finnegan:
