Chelsea transfer gossip
A look at eight players Chelsea regret letting go (via fanatix)…
1) Petr Cech
Heading to Arsenal for around £11m, Petr Cech is still a top goalkeeper despite losing his place to Thibaut Courtois last season, and will certainly strengthen the Gunners significantly.
2) Juan Mata
A real star at Chelsea, it is hard to believe the club allowed Juan Mata to join rivals Manchester United, even if they did receive big money for the Spanish playmaker.
3) Romelu Lukaku
One of the top young attacking players in Europe, Romelu Lukaku was barely given a chance before being sold to Everton and replaced by a 36-year-old Didier Drogba.
4) Daniel Sturridge
A player who has shone since leaving Chelsea for Liverpool, Daniel Sturridge is another young player who didn’t get nearly enough games with the Blues.
5) Arjen Robben
Sold to Real Madrid as a youngster, Arjen Robben started brightly at Chelsea and should have been given more time despite some injury problems, becoming one of the best players in the world at Bayern Munich.
6) Kevin De Bruyne
A player with better stats than Eden Hazard, Kevin De Bruyne’s sale now looks like a big mistake as the Belgian shines masterfully at new club Wolfsburg.
7) Andre Schurrle
Underrated by Chelsea, Andre Schurrle was always an impressive performer when given the chance, but was also allowed to join Wolfsburg last season.
8) William Gallas
One of Chelsea’s best defenders, William Gallas is another Stamford Bridge star who was allowed to join Arsenal, and he later became Gunners captain.
