As the Cashley Cole debacle rolls on and on, are Chelsea going to be stupid enough NOT to have lined up an alternative?

 
Personally, I'd love to see us ruin the start of Sir Red Nose's Season by making a very audacious bid for Heinze !!!

 
Agreed, he is without doubt the best at defending, although the others all have qaulities, if it's no nonsence defending you want he is your man.

 
I can't imagine Manure accepting a bid for Heinze, so I'm going for Chivu.

 
It would be Chivu for me if he was on the list - however I opt for Lahm on this list as I have no desire to hand Man Utd ?23m (just as I don't want to hand Arsenal it)

oops just noticed the 'other' option!

Blame Loz, that usually works. He edited one of my posts once, to make a completely different point. Said it was an accident

looks like I am in the majority here in going for young phillip lahm. He looked good in the world cup, has youth on his side, and no-nonsense ruthless german efficiency!!!

Ruthless efficiency, I thought that was the Spanish inquisition :)

Does Lahm's performance during the WC warrant a Chelsea transfer? Opinions were divided I seem to remember from the threads about him.

 
not to mention Fear and Suprise, that was the spannish inquisition

Lahm for me as well. Young, talented, and clinical. His World Cup performance is almost enough to warrant a Chelsea transfer, but his performances in the Bundesliga were quite excellent as well. I would love to see him at Chelsea, though I wouldn't say no to Chivu either. I can't bear to give ManUre any more money, same with Arsenal. If we can't have Lahm or Chivu, stick with Bridgey until we can.

 
Personally, I'm gutted we didn't sign Zambrotta. He was the one I always wanted - to provide competition to Bridgey - but I always thought he would be unavailable. When he became available, I thought, this is it, we're going to finally land him. But no. I think everything considered, he was/is the best option, except he isn't an option anymore is he.

We've dilley-dallied so long that I am of the opinion we should just give Arsenal what they want and sign Cole. I don't want to start the season with our defense a shambles as it currently is. If Mourinho wants Cole that much we should just get him in quickly. The player can start to settle in and our defense can regain some composure from a settled look.

And I'm also of the opinion that if Gallas wants to go, we should let him go and get in a quality replacement quickly. We shouldn't be entering the season so "unsettled" like this, particularly in defense.

Cheers,

Butch

 
Philip Lahm for me. But if we signed someone to play back up to Bridge then I'd be more than happy.
