Lampard and Drogba

Robo Mchugh · 12-10-2007, 03:11 PM

I am chelsea and am currently about to start my third season. I can't make up my mind on whether to sell Drogba and Lampard. They are both 31 now but still in my team, however i am looking to bring in Aguero and Matias Fernandez, both look quality players. However i still can't decide whether Lamps and Drogba are getting on a bit and i should let them go bringing in the younger talent for the future.

Can anyone post advice on what they would do?

Firstly, Aguero is much better than Drogba and Fernandez is much better than Lampard. And if they are both already 31, then you should definitely look to get some players to replace them. You should really have bought some youngsters like Lulinha and Saivet in at the start and they would have been ready to take over from these two by now. But Fernandez and Aguero are both brilliant so I would say go for it. But you dont necessarily have to sell Lamps and Drogba. If you have a lot of depth in your squad, then do sell. If you dont have too many players who can provide good cover in case of injuries, then let them stay and keep then on rotation I suppose.

well i have:

fred, adriano and owen upfront

and

mikel, essien and VDV in midfield

so in ur opinion you would sell?

sell simple as that you have enough cover

With those players, I'd definitely sell. And I'd buy Aguero and sell either Owen or Adriano (whatever you do, dont sell Fred!). Too many strikers. But I'm one to talk though. I have Henry, Aguero, RVP, Vela, Bendtner, Fred, Saivet in the squad already and am thinking about getting Bojan as well!

You can definitely do with Fernandez though. He provides you an option on the wings as well. And he's better than VDV at AMC.

Sell and buy!! :thup:

Also do you think i need to spend some money to buy a left back and relace bridge...are there any left backs worth buying

theincrediblehulk · 12-10-2007, 05:20 PM

Replace Bridge? Dear Lord! You should have sold Bridge as soon as you started the game! Lol. And what happened to Cashley.. ooops.. I mean Ashley??!

Hes one of the best in the game.

Anyway, you can try to get Traore from Arsenal if they're willing to sell. Becomes the best in the game after a couple years. If not, Sakho is very good as well but he's a defensive LB. You can try Chiellini if you want the best. Will cost you around 30M though.

is it worth now giving some chelsea youngsters some chances. For example defender macienenne behing richards, terry and barzagli and sahar behind adriano aguero and fred?

theincrediblehulk · 12-10-2007, 05:46 PM

I think Michael can turn out into a good defender for you so definitely give him some chances. I'm not sure about Sahar though. I dont think he'll cut it but I've not played as Chelsea much so cant really say. He seems to be rubbish in my game though and I'm near the end of season 3. If the coach reports say that he'll become a good player then definitely give him a go. Else sell him on now and replace him with someone like Saivet.

Well i have just finished my second season and Sahar has been on loan at valencia, now he is back he is 19 - described as a wonderkid and valued at 7m so i think i might give him a few chances.
