Chelsea

[Bojan]

Does this club have a future? I hear Abramovich lost most of his wealth recently. Now he`s looking to bring Hiddink, guy who`s already on his payroll in Russia.
I think he`s a fantastic coach but the future doesn`t look good for Chelski.

[Barca_Ray_USA]

Hiddink will only stay for few montsh, so they say...

[Evil]

I'm happy he lost his wealth lol, no more crazy offers like 150m and 200m crap, luring away players with ridiculous salaries. Hope the same happens to Man City. They should learn not to throw around money like that :smile:

If Guus stays on full time at chelsea, they will win the EPL pretty much every year. Guus is the best manager going around atm.

[FCB-Michael]

Can`t wait to see what changes he`ll bring.

[ChelseaFanLello]

Guus Hiddink is a great coach, but no one can do the good effect Jose Mourinho did on our club. Anyways, all the latest news say that Carlo Ancelotti is the new coach next year, i hope not, cause then he will buy old usless players, Avram Grant back is a good choice for a coach, at least that's what i think so.

[Bojan]

Yeah, everyone liked Grant. You definitely should have kept him.
How about Lampard and Ballack? Past their best or?

[ChelseaFanLello]

Lampard, no. He is not past his best, he saved us in so many games, and he plays with all his heart. As for Michael Ballack, i think he is past his prime. We should sell ballack this summer. But Lampard no way.

[Bojan]

What about Anelka playing as a winger? Is there a chance that Guus might change the 4-3-3 system for Barca match?

[ChelseaFanLello]

Hmmm.... Anelka isn't that great on the wing, but he doesn't have a place on the striker position cause Didier Drogba is the best around. I Don't think he will change the 4-3-3 system, but i want him to try 4-4-2 i think it works. But Chelsea have been using 4-3-3 for quite a long while I don't think Guus will change it

[FCBNOF]

Interesting, it'll be 4-3-3 vs. 4-3-3 in the Camp nou then i take it.

[Fourteen]

That's how it's always been as far as I can remember. Mourinho as a student of Barca used the 4-3-3 system from the start I think, so Chelsea have been playing that way for a long time and against Barca it's just always been a cautious 4-3-3 at the nou camp.

[AnfieldEd]

Grant? mate if you had Hiddink or Mourinho last season you would have won the league and CL and not manure. The top top managers give their players that extra 1% which, trust me is a major difference.

While Grant did a good job he would never have won any trophies because imo he lacks the cutting edge.

Ancelotti would be another good appointment because he too can give players that extra little bit. He would also identify quality players.

[ChelseaFanLello]

Yes but Ancelotti doesn't know the right players for the club, if he was given a summer to get players, he would buy 33years + players who are past their prime, and I don't mean anything bad to you barca fans, but just like he did to Milan by bringing in Ronnie and Beckham. I Know Ronaldinho was a wizard and I am sure he was the best at his time, but not anymore, this is Messi's time right now to shine.

[mmandela]

And trust me, he will shine against chelsea For me there are three players I really like in chelsea (I don't like chelsea at all...) Drogba, Essien and Malouda. They are really great players and they will all be huge threats for us.

Imo it was a huge mistake not to keep Grant as a coach, the reason Chelsea didn't won the CL was because of bad luck and nothing else... Hiddink is one of the best coaches around and is good in a short term. But Chelsea must stop changing coaches the way they do... anyway, good luck ChelseaFanLello I hope you loose =)
