Chelsea Could Bid £20m For Left-Back, But How Does He Compare With Cole?

It seems that the left-back merry-go-round is ready to kick in as the Telegraph suggest that Chelsea are ready to throw £20m at Southampton for Luke Shaw, which could in turn see Ryan Bertrand go to Everton and Leighton Baines jump ship to Manchester United.

Last summer we saw Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho scraping the barrel to find a striker suitable of leading his line to the Premier League title. He had Fernand Torres and Demba Ba both at the club, as well as young sensation Romulu Lukaku, but he sent the latter out on loan to Everton and drafted in Samuel Eto'o. A poor decision, in my eyes.
