Have Chelsea become too much of a selling club?
‘Selling club’ is not a term one would associate with the rich and powerful Chelsea, but they have let some superb players leave a little too soon in recent times, as this much-improved line up shows…
GK: Petr Cech
Now at Arsenal, Petr Cech is perhaps the best goalkeeper in Chelsea’s history, and would have been ideal as a backup now with Thibaut Courtois set to miss most of this season injured.
DR: Branislav Ivanovic
A fine right-back, Branislav Ivanovic may not be on top form right now but remains an experienced and important part of this Chelsea team.
DL: Cesar Azpilicueta
Although it looked like Ashely Cole may have been let go too soon, Cesar Azpilicueta has done a great job since becoming first choice, while the former England international has flopped at AS Roma.
