	Log in to remove this sponsored message Goalkeepers: Spoiler: Petr Cech - Had a bit of a blip in form but that was partly down to confidence, but did exceptionally well against Barcelona at the Nou Camp and all the rumours that we were targeting Gomes as his replacement made are just laughable ! Spoiler: Yohan Pele - I'd like to see the new Chelsea boss bring in a young decent keeper to keep Petr Cech on his toes and make more of a challenge for the No.1 spot. Yohan Pele is a good goalkeeper and would be a better back up than Hilario. He got called up to the France squad last year for a friendly but didn't feature. Spoiler: Henrique Hilário - Still don't think he's managed 30 appearances for Chelsea and he's now aged 33. Never really rated him, but suppose he's not done too bad in the games he's played when Cech was injured. Defenders: Spoiler: Branislav Ivanovic - Shown some really potential this year and could break into the first team if given a few more games to prove himself, did very well in a recent Champions League game against Liverpool. Pretty sure a few clubs will enquire about him during the summer though. Spoiler: Ashley Cole - I've always liked Ashley Cole, even when he was at Arsenal. Key Player for Chelsea, but again would like to see our new manager bring in a decent back up. After selling Wayne Bridge we've left our self short and have had to move Bosingwa over to the left when he's not been fit. Spoiler: Ricardo Carvalho - Solid centre back that still has a couple more seasons in him, if he can stay fit. I personally think we need another young centre back though or give Michael Mancienne his chance to shine. Spoiler: José Bosingwa - Bosingwa is fast becoming one of my favourite players, mainly because he plays in the same position as me. He's been a consistent performer and is easily our best right back. Spoiler: John Terry - Chelsea and England Captain. Shall I go on ? Really hope we beat Barca on Wednesday and he goes on to lift the Champions League trophy. Easily got another 4 or 5 seasons in him. Spoiler: Paulo Ferreira - Hasn't really featured for Chelsea over the last 2 seasons, I think we should sell him. If we do keep Ivanovic he can play anywhere across the back line so we do have good back up to Bosingwa. Spoiler: Alex - I'm in two minds whether to keep Alex or not, he's very strong but does make a few mistakes. He has scored a couple of important goals for us this season though. I just feel keeping him would decrease the chances of Michael Mancienne starting games and that ultimately could lead to his departure. Spoiler: Juliano Belletti - I like Belletti and think he's a good utility player but he's 32. Chelsea are constantly being stereotyped as having a "ageing squad" which in many aspects is correct, so would like us to invest more in youth or play the younger players we do have more often. Players like Gael Kakuta, Miroslav Stoch and Franco Di Santo. Spoiler: Michael Mancienne - In my opinion he's got bags of potential, I just don't feel like he's ready for the first team just yet. I think the new manager should have a look at him and then tell him whether he features in his long term plans and if he does then perhaps talk about the possibility of a short term loan move to either another Premiership team or a Championship side. I'm pretty sure that both Wolves and Birmingham would love to have him in their squads. Spoiler: Taye Taiwo - I've watched a few games in Ligue 1 this season and every time I have watched Taiwo he's looked very good. (Apart from 1 game where he got sent off ). Taye Taiwo has made his intensions clear that he wants to sign for a "top 4" team. He's only 24 and would be a perfect back up to Ashley Cole and would challenge for the left back spot. Midfielders Spoiler: Frank Lampard - Another great season from Frank has seen him score 19 goals so far. Currently the clubs Vice Captain, and a Chelsea legend. He's 30 though now and it'll interesting to see how many more years Frank can cut it at the top. Spoiler: Michael Essien - Injury plagued season has seen him miss over 6 months of the season, came back in March and showed us all what we've missed. Can't wait to see him again next season fully fit alongside Lampard. I do feel had he been playing we could have picked up a few more points and perhaps the gap between Manchester United and ourselves would be a lot smaller, if any at all. Spoiler: Joe Cole - Another player who's season has been plagued by injury, I’m sure that once fit he'll play a massive role for us next season. Quaresma will go back to Inter Milan and I feel he'll play a lot more matches for us. He's till only 27 so hasn't even reached his full potential yet. Spoiler: John Obi Mikel - Good back up to Essien and very strong, hoepfully he gets a few more starts next season. He's improving every year and will soon be an integral part of the first team. Spoiler: Michael Ballack - I'm in two minds with him too. He's now 32 and isn't very consistant, however when he's on form he's quality. He's done some awesome passes this year but is that really enough ? Time to invest in younger players. Spoiler: Florent Malouda - I was never really pleased when he joined the club, I've never been a fan of him to be truthful. Having said that though, I think he's really improved over the last 6 months and he's finally decided to start playing as well as was expected. I think should we keep him, then he'd show good form next season but i'm pretty certain that he'll leave and be replaced by Yuri Zhirkov. Spoiler: Ricardo Quaresma - Only on loan whilst Joe Cole was injured. Hasn't really featured for us and will be sent back to Inter Milan no doubt. I wouldn't mind him as a squad player but would only be happy paying £6m max ! Spoiler: Deco - Really think he should go, hopefully Juventus will take him off our hands. He's also getting on a bit now as he's 31. Hiddink wanted to play him in a creative midfield role but this hasn't really worked out well. He's very inconsistant and I'd love him to be replaced by either Giovani Dos Santos or would like Gael Kakuta to be given a chance. Spoiler: Yuri Zhirkov Would love to see him at the Bridge next season and after being linked with him for some time now, plus the fact his International manager is currently in charge of us, their is a strong chance he'll be at Stamford Bridge before the start of next season. Strikers Spoiler: Didier Drogba Drogba has been hit and miss all season and was linked with a move away from Stamford Bridge in January, however his current forum under Hiddink has been great and I really hope he stays next season. He's so strong, great with his heading and so in many ways is very similar to Fernando Torres who in my opinion is arguably the best striker in the world. Spoiler: Nicolas Anelka Great season with Anelka and currently just 1 goal behind Cristiano Ronaldo in the race to gain the Golden Boot. I think Drogba and Anelka upfront will work better next season or maybe the new manager will just play 1 upfront, whatever the new manager decides i'll be happy as long as Anelka is in our squad. Spoiler: Salomon Kalou Really growing on me, he's scored a few goals for us this season and is improving a lot. I don't think we've seen the best of him yet neither which is good. Only worrying thing for me is when he said he dreams of playing for Arsenal Spoiler: Franco Di Santo Still not really challenging the likes of Anelka and Drogba. Showed so much promise when we signed him but we haven't seen anything that really lived up to all the hype. In my opinion Miroslav Stoch is a much better player than Di Santo will ever be. Spoiler: Miroslav Stoch Great to see him breaking into the first team, he got his first appearance under his belt against Arsenal, I think we'll see a lot more of him next season though. Really good prospect. Edit: May 05, 09 -------------------

That's the squad I want next season, I didn't do Miniero as he's shit and EVERBODY knows that. They don't need me to tell them that, and Sinclair is on loan and hopefully will go on loan again next season to gain even more first team experience. -------------------

	I dont think Sinclair will cut it at chelski tbh, not sure if yet another loan would benefit him either, he should get his career sorted. Is he 19? spose its young but your getting players developing so much more at the ages 17-18 ------------------- As you go through life its a long long road They'll be joys and sorrows too

	Hart Carr Bougherra Ridge Quedrue Larsson Carsley ?? Fahey Faddy Boyd Subs:Phillips,Jerome,O'Connor,D.Johnson,D.Murphy,Parnaby,Doyle,M.Taylor(CB),M.Taylor(GK) Not to keen on Boyd but the rumours have started again would love it if we could get Pedro Mendes to slot in alongside Carsley or even Danny Murphy. Another defender i'd like to see us go for is Hull Citys Michael Turner. Other rumours are Barry Ferguson nd Alan McGregor, both happen to be the shame of their country atm.. great Btw Hart would only be a loan im sure we'll also purchase a few foreigners ------------------- As you go through life its a long long road They'll be joys and sorrows too

	If we stay up: Carson Zuiverloon - [New CB] - Olsson - [New LB or Cech] Greening - Koren Morrison - Dorrans - Brunt [New Striker] If we go down: Carson Zuiverloon - Meite - Olsson - Cech Koren - Dorrans - Greening - Brunt Fortune - Miller If we stay up that team would probably struggle but meh, we don't have the greatest wage structure. x

	Goalkeepers Pepe Reina Diego Cavalieri Charles Itandje Defenders Alvaro Arbeloa Stephen Darby Fabio Aurelio Emiliano Insua Daniel Agger Jaime Carragher Martin Skrtel Sami Hyypia (Already Going) Sebastian Bassong Andrea Dossena Midfielders Steven Gerrard Javier Mascherano Xabi Alonso Yossi Benayoun Albert Riera Ryan Babel Goran Pandev Dirk Kuyt Lucas Leiva Juan Mata Jermaine Pennant Forwards Fernando Torres David N'Gog Kriztian Nemeth Tuncay Sanli Andiry Voronin Key ~ Upcoming Youngster ~ Selling ~ Buying Our Goalkeepers are fine, Pepe Reina and Diego are NP. Itandje needs to go though and not just because of his Hillsbrough actions he needs to go as he'd raise a good 2m and he is shite. Defensive wise is strong as ever, but i feel that we need to sell either Agger or Skrtel as both will get unhappy as we cant play both, it's best to sell one now. I'd pick Skrtel, i know Rafa wont but i believe that Skrtel isn't as good as Agger. The Dagger gives us a lot more options in attack and while he isn't as strong as Skrtel he still does a fine job in defence. Hyypia will be going as well. Dossena should be offloaded, AC Milan want him for 7m apparently and I'd take that in a heartbeat, chipping Van der Saar and beating Casillas is good but he is quite useless. Also, Insua will be coming in - who i believe, is the future Argentina left back. Fabio should keep his place as should Arbeloa. We're also short of backup Right Backs to Arbeloa, i reckon since Degen is always in the hospital; we should call up youngster Stephen Darby. He's quite good for his age and is hard working. He is also the reserves captain if i recall. Onto the Midfield, Please. Please. Pleease, Keep Alonso Rafa. Imo our star man this season, better than Gerrard despite the goals as he offers a lot more options and is always knocking around clever passes and flicks which lead to opportunities. Also, his shooting is getting better and better and it seems that a lot of people want to kick him lately as 7 men have been sent off for a challenge against him. Mascherano and Stevie G are fine. Keep Lucas, is finally starting to get the support he deserves from the fans and he is starting to show potential. Kuyt and Benayoun are superb. I'd give Riera one more season before deciding weather we sell him or not. Sell Pennant to Portsmouth for 5m. I would sell Babel, as i feel we'd get a good sum of 12m for him. He is showing some good signs that he can become a good player, but lately he has been utter, utter useless. Strikers are all fine, Torres when injured should now receive the backup support from N'Gog who i reckon is becoming quite good and Nemeth who should be called up imo. Now onto our signings, Bassong is a good defender and wouldn't cost too much, with Sami leaving and Skrtel, I'd want a good backup who i know i could rely on. Bassong would be that man. Pandev's contract is apparently up at the end of the season and if he doesn't accept the offer from Lazio why not put in a transfer? I haven't seen him, but he cant be that bad going by his record. He can play as an attacking midfielder and a striker too so that's be good. Mata on the left wing would be our main signing, he is supposedly amazing. He is young too and has already broke into Valencia's team over Vicente. Riera is decent and while Yossi is proving to be excellent i believe that Yossi is more of a AMC role person. So, Mata would fit in perfectly. Last is Tuncay, he is amazing at Boro and deserves to be playing for a better team. He is quite versatile and has a fantastic finish on him. I'd love him at our club.

	kurtis that is an few poor signings Bassong,Pandev and Tuncay dont deserve to be in a liverpool squad.Selling Skrtel is awful because he has been awesome this season... We need a winger,Lennon would be perfect but i dont reckon Spurs would sell and since our relationship with them has soured after the keane fiasco. Maybe Downing when boro go down We also need two strikers..a back up torres and also a target man to break down the likes of Stoke. Saviola has no problem being back up and is a great finisher so id like him.. Also a player similar to what heskey did nack in 2001 but i cant really think..couls anyone describe a younger heskey

	Zaluska/Boruc Hinkel - Caldwell - [new cb] - [new lb] Nakamura - Brown - Crosas - McGeady McDonald - [new st] I would have Boruc ahead of Zaluska if he's still at the club. However, if we get a half decent offer for Boruc I reckon we should accept, because imo Zaluska has the potential to be just as good, or even better, than Boruc. For the new centre back I really don't know who we could get. McManus isn't good enough and I'm far from impressed by Loovens tbh. O'Dea is decent and should be given a chance during pre-season. If we were to sign someone it will more likely have to be on a free or a cheap SPL player; ie. Darren Barr or Zander Diamond Lee Naylor has been shocking really this season. Had a superb first year at the club and was even nominated for the league's Player of the Year. Young Misun is too raw to through in atm so I think a solid experienced left back should be brought in. Maybe Serginho from Barca. He has been linked with us for a while now. If Naka stays then he will almost definitely be assured of his place on the right. However, if he does go then I think we should just use someone already at the club to replace him. We have a number of options who could do a job there - Willo Flood, Shaun Maloney, Koki Mizuno, Pat McCourt or even Niall McGinn. I think that we should let Hesselink's contract run out at the end of the season. Yes he has been brilliant for us but I think his time has passed. He is getting more and more injury prone and until recently, the goals have dried up. Samaras is too hit and miss for me. When he first joined he looked decent, then he began to improve gradually. Sadly, atm he looks like the Man City Samaras and that ain't good enough. That's why I think we should sign Stevie Fletcher from Hibs. We had a bid rejected in January but I think Strachan should go back to him in June/July. He looks a great prospect and I believe he could work well with McDonald up front.

	quote L8Walker You still have belief?! If you play as well as we have all season, but just not putting away chances the majority of the time, you will always have belief until its mathematically impossible, we will create clear cut chances in our last 3 matches, if we take them then we will have a good chance of stopping up, I don't think we will finish bottom. x
