For chelsea to be better off in playing passion and also be great at buying players who are of good quality.there is a need for the work of buying players to be only done by ebullient managers like scolari,Jose,ranieri etc. But Abramovic should be exclusive in the term of transfers.Why don,t they go for striker like berbatov,Robbie keane and santa cruz.I doubt Kaka to fit into chelsea system,he will be shevi if he comes to stamford bridge but Robinho at least can do sth.
If Abramovic has nothing 2 do with his money then let him use that money as TPs.
there is no any weaknesses in the middle pack where we,ve Essien,super Lamp,Obi,Ballack,Deco.For i would be very grateful if chelsea goes for striker not an attacking midfielder.

For Chelsea to win, they need fiber, passion. It is not there yet. In some sense, it is nice that Man U has won it all the last couple of seasons. They don’t need shady money, have decent players, but most importantly have one or two players who are so emotional on the field they make a difference in the finals. When Barca won in 2006, it was not just because of Ronnie, but because of Xavi and Eto, who, together with Deco, were incensed by the play of Ronnie… Maybe Kaka can be a spark that will incense some other players like Essien. But I doubt Kaka would go to Chelsea. He has refused transfers that involved clubs with shady investors in the past.

I don’t know if we can claim he wouldn’t fit in until we see the system Scolari wants to set up. I gotta say he would fit into any system because he is one if not the best player in the world. The midfield for Chelsea look scary already, add Kaka and you have a difficult team on paper to find a win against. With that said, it don’t see it happening. Milan do not want him to leave, and Milan don’t sell unless they fell its in Milan’s interest. It is not in any teams interest to let a player of Kaka’s caliber leave. What a summer it could be, Ronaldo and Kaka for record fees? It seems the media takes a hold of these stories and builds them up larger than they should. If Milan and United say no, it should end with that.

Chelsik, your not rich, Abramovic is. You better hope he doesn’t get bored with his hobby.

what is missing in the analysis is simple fact that kaka-ballack-deco do not need to be on the field at the same time same for essien/mikel:

Kaka + Ballack/Deco + essien/mikel works pefectly especially if count in international games, injuries, etc for the full season

last think ballack/deco are 30+ what about 1-2 years from now?

sell Lampard and be done with it, decide on drogba sooner rather than later and be done with it, if he does go then it is more important to have someone like Kaka

main reason MU did what they did after Ruud went to real is Ronaldo, Kaka can do the same (or better) for Chelsea, lamp/ballack/deco all at 30+ would not

totally makes sense for CLC but question is how much …

When Kaka looses does that mean Jesus doesn’t love him as much as the he does the winning side? Does the lord just try and keep him humble? Maybe it was CR7’s turn this sesaon since his future “is in the hands of God”? Just remember “The meek shall inherit the earth” and “If you would be perfect, go, sell what you possess and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow me.” I am waiting to see both of them get round to that last bit.

Let’s see… Chelsea has bid for Kaka. They tried to bid for Ronaldinho. They’re interested in Robinho. I guess Scolari wants to stockpile as many Brazilians as possible. Not a terrible strategy. Much better than Fulham’s “America First” strategy…

kaka is more of a publicity thing. personally i think it would be cheaper and easier to get van der vaart.
Chelsea’s squad as it stands is pretty strong. As it stands chelsea has strengthened their weak right side.
Realisticly chelsea doesnt require too many players. Malouda, deco and j.cole are all flair based creative players. Sure malouda didnt have the best season but i expect better from him. Kalou is also shaping up nicely and i can see him and sinclair being rotated around the wings if SWP is sold. Our weakness is perhaps our attack, i think sheva can cope with english play like he showed during his time b4 he got injured, anelka is there as well and he should be utilised slightly more then he is currently. Chelsea hasnt really gone through that many drastic changes with i think the main bloat due to the quick turnover of managers. having so many managers in a club causes alot of bloat but as seen the core group of cech, carvalho, a.cole, lampard, essien, terry, drogba, makelele and j.cole havent really changed since mourinho’s early start and only the rightback and left winger have really been a problem spot as well as the emergence of ballack forcing either essien or makelele to a rotation/back up role.
Will chelsea play a more entertaining brand of football? perhaps but not to the levels of arsenal. Will we play a football that is nicer tho look at then mourinho and grant era, definitely. Scolari is inheriting a squad but unlike grant he has a preseason to adjust the team. Even though grant is maligned as a manager it was obvious if you actually watched some games that as the season went on he tried to changed the style of play very slowly so as not to cause problems.
