    THREE Centre-Backs Who Could Replace David Luiz For Chelsea

    Chelsea are a team who have been left with a sour taste in their mouth after the 2013/14 season ended trophyless for them, despite the return of 'The Special One'. Jose Mourinho is now more determined than ever to win a trophy and he is eyeing the big one: the Premier League title.

These are two great signings who will vastly improve Chelsea's attack. However, the club have also sold David Luiz, weakening their defence.

    Striker On The Verge Of Chelsea Move - Player Report

    When Chelsea fell to a 1-0 loss at FC Basel the other night it only strengthened in my mind that they need a new frontman. Samuel Eto'o looked hopeless when he was on the pitch, and then when he went off injured Fernando Torres was even worse, though he had just come back from injury.
