Yeah, I want to talk about that.

--- Quote from: Ptommydski on 21 Sep 2009, 02:02 ---It will be really quite interesting to see if Chelsea can win the league considering the fact that they aren't allowed to sign any new players, including I think loan players, for violating the rules during an attempt to sign a young player from Lens. If Didier Drogba is in fact injured, they might have to adjust a bit. With Joe Cole coming back and Yuri Zhirkov nearing fitness, it shouldn't be too much of an issue. My guess is they will play Joe Cole off Nicolas Anelka or utilise Salomon Kalou. I hope they win the league, I like Carlo Ancelotti.

They played an 18-year old Italian from the Academy whose name I can't remember recently in Europe, and they have Sturridge is it, from Man City. Assuming the transfer ban holds, and they have to operate as if it will until proven otherwise, I think they're going to be a bit more adventurous than most EPL clubs at blooding youngsters all of a sudden. They've got plenty of options up front, as do all the big teams, just most are largely unproven. As you said though their default plan B will almost certainly be a 4-4-2 with Anelka and Kalou up top.
The crunch time for Chelsea is going to be the ACN. At the moment they look casual and they've got enough of a squad to get by without signing anyone in January, so the only major factors for them regarding this season are losing their African players for 4-5 games, and any long term injuries. Agreed about Carlo too; I never thought I'd say this but if anyone wins the league this year that isn't us, I'd like it to be Chelsea.
Next season is another situation altogether.
Yayniall:
Sturridge is nowhere near as good as he thinks he is.
He needs somebody to take them under his wing and tell him to shut up. Terry or Lampard could do the trick I guess.
