If it were your money, which left back would you buy ?

Zambrotta would have been perfect and my first choice. However, in the current circumstances i would go for Abidal or Lahm. The only problem there being that both Bayern and Lyon would want a kings ransom, and im fed up with us getting ripped off for nothing more than 'good' players.

Lahm would probably be the better choice out of the two.

 
Zambrotta would have been my first choice as well.

No to Heinze for the same reasons as Cole - not a good idea to throw giant amounts of money at our direct rivals. We will slightly improve our left-back situation, but Wenger/Ferguson will improve significantly in 2 or 3 positions, bringing them closer to us in quality.

I don't think that we can go through a whole season with Bridge as the only recognised left-back in the squad - especially given the current situation with Gallas - so we need to sign someone.

If it were up to me, I think we should try big money bids for either of Lahm or Chivu. If we can't get them, we should try and sign a youngster as backup for Bridge.

 
Let's try and get a good left-back from a team outside England.

Lahm is a great defender and he can play on both to the left and to the right. He's young and have proved himself in big games (one of Germanys best players in the World Cup).

Bayern M?nich has said that they wont sell any more players, but for the right amount of money I bet they will be tempted. But I think it will be alot of money though and I'm not sure that Mourinho want to spend that much on one player. :(

Chivu is a good player, but I don't know that much about him. Can't say how much we would have to pay for him, but I can't imagine it being that much (compared too Ashley). The question is will Roma sell him? They are aiming for the gold this season and since Chivu is a important player for them. They might not want to sell him. Perhaps if they got Gallas in exhange, but I don't want that. :?

Sorin is a player that I love and that I know for sure is for sale. Villareal wont ask for a ridiculus amount of money either. That is a player that I'm sure we can get if only Mourinho ask for him.

He's a player that is great in defense and just as good in offense. He's the kinda player that can break a pass down by his own goal and shortly after that be up the pitch and score a goal. And he can do it all game long. I think he's got better stamina than Lampard or anyone else.

That's three players that I can think of now that would be good signings.

If we could get Sorin and Lahm I would be very, very happy.

Finally I have a suggestion. When we face Arsenal (if we haven't bought Cole by then). let's make a bet. If we win we get Cole and if they win they get Gallas.

That would be a cheap and easy way to get Cole for free.

How can a club with CFC's resources not have sorted out a left- back ? At the moment we're starting the season with a guy whose confidence is shot and doesn't see a future at the Bridge. What's the alternative ? Geremi ? Billy ? So what if Arsenal want 25 million ? Sort it.

 
Let's make a swap-deal with Bayern M?nich: We offer them Huth and ?5-6 million, and we'll get Lahm. Deal done.

 
That might work, Paul Phoenix. They want Huth and for him and a bit of cash they might let Lahm go.

I love Huth and I'd hate to see him go. But he won't get to play that much here unless we get a few injuries. So if we can get Lahm for Huth then it would be okay to sell him. But I'd rather just pay money for Lahm and then send Huth out on loan to a good club that might teach him a bit or two.

 
Yeah, that's not a bad idea Paul. And I would love to see wenger's face as ?20m readies slip through his grasp.

 
Chiellini is a great full back, but I think he is a bit too weak for Premier League.

I'm a huge fan of Juventus and I was very impressed by him last season, but he is not that strong and that is a disadvantage in England. He might do well in international games, but not against strong PL-attackers.

But I might underestimate him.

He is after all a great young player.

But I can't see Juventus letting him go not when they have lost so many defensive players. If Juve buys a full back soon, then Chelsea might perhaps be able to get him.

 
I agree, I mean those epl right sided midfielders are real bruisers

of course, he may also face left sided players like duff, arca, giggs, etherington, andy "feckin" reid, mark gonzales and the power of robben in training.

the only man he should fear is bolo blackbelt... he has the concentration of a true warrior.
