Terry Has Option To Leave Chelsea, But Should He Take It? Opinion

Like a lot of people, John Terry has been a huge factor of Premier League football while I have been growing up and I find it remarkable that he has performed so strongly for so long. However, The Sun are now reporting that Galatasaray, managed by former Manchester City boss Roberto Mancini, is ready to make a move for the Blues skipper.

Player Report: What Could Young Playmaker With 3 Goals In 9 Games Offer Chelsea?

If I asked you to tell me three things about Max Meyer, you would probably look at me blankly or ask me if I was referring to the actor who portrayed Austin Powers. You may, though, remember him from when Chelsea thrashed Schalke in the Champions League not long ago, as the 18-year-old is an up and coming Bundesliga sensation, who the Daily Star are now reporting is conjuring up interest at Stamford Bridge.

Chelsea To Offer £60m For Striker, But How Does He Compare With Current Crop?

For me, Chelsea's Achilles heel right now is their front line. Although Samuel Eto'o seems to have found his shooting boots, the Blues have still only scored three goals this season between their trio of strikers, so this will be some welcome news for Blues fans, if you believe it. The Mirror suggest that Chelsea are ready to offer £60m for the services of Radamel Falcao, but how does he compare to the current crop?

Player Report: Why I Think Bundesliga Defender Could Be Perfect For Chelsea

David Luiz is causing Chelsea problems of late, making mistakes which have led to the Blues getting into trouble on the pitch. And although the West London side have plenty of cover with John Terry, Gary Cahill and Branislav Ivanovic all able to play in the centre, I put forward the name of this centre-back and ask - could this be the man to lead the Chelsea backline for years to come?

The Special One: How Can Chelsea Get The Best Out Of Fernando Torres?

Fernando Torres isn't what he used to be. That's the opinion of most football fans across the country, and a view that I share. The Spaniard has fallen from grace since his blistering form at Liverpool, but I still think he has enough about him to lead the line at Chelsea, which is a less-shared opinion.

5 Surprise Contenders For Player Of The Year

This is a list that basically just evaluates which players have particularly stood out when we as fans didn't think they would. It's perhaps too early to talk of player of the season nominations, but it's a headline that people would be more attracted to than '5 players I feel are doing well so far'. Anyway, that's not important. What is important is the players I feel deserve to go on this list. Obviously there are players that will be nominated that won't make this list, the likes of Robin van Persie, Sergio Aguero and Luis Suarez, but I'm confident that if these players maintain their current form then they will be in with a chance.

A Statistical Look At How Mulumbu Stifled Chelsea

The role of the central midfielder has changed over the years. The majority of managers now deploy a water carrier in their side who is comfortable doing the dirty work in the middle - the niggly tackles and taking one for the team. Chelsea were one of the standout sides who deployed such a player, when Jose Mourinho stuck Claude Makelele in the middle of his title winning team, and he got a taste of his own medicine on Saturday.

Why Chelsea Need To Keep Hold Of Defender This January

Last season under the 'fat Spanish waitor' Rafa Benitez, Cesar Aspilicueta was a key player at Chelsea. The Spaniard arrived from Marseille and slotted into the right-back berth with Branislav Ivanovic tucking inside to the central position next to Gary Cahill. However, fast forward to this season under Jose Mourinho and the defender has found himself out on his ear, having made only three league appearances, and reports from the Daily Star are suggesting that he could well be swooped for by Napoli, who themselves are under the guidance of Benitez.
