Have to say i think we have a good mixture of strikers and they are adequate enough to score alot of goals .
And in all honesty on paper Chelskis front four doesntt look that daunting.
Man for man upfrontwe are just as good.

A couple of things have cropped up in this thread.
Essien better than Gerrard?? FFS, I honestly think Essien could turn out to be the next Drogba - 32mil?? I wouldn't pay half of that for him. IMO Essien will be found out when he has to play in a competitive league week in week out, its a very different matter from playing in the French league and raising your game occasionally for the big games in the champions league.
Essien is not in the same class as Makelele, Lampard, Gerrard or Alonso if you ask me, he's just flavour of the month after his European performances, just like Drogba was this time last year.
Another thing. In the original post at the start of this thread it was said that Morientes is getting old and may not last the season. What?? Correct me if I'm wrong but is he not 28/29. He should be at his peak not over the hill. Fair enough he is slow, but no slower than he was at 25.
However I do agree that SWP and del Horno are excellent signings for chelsea. I also think that if anyone can keep all their players happy its Mourinho, he certainly seems to have a good bond with his players. I don't foresee them having too many problems with players complaining of being benched, with the possible exception of Duff. Great player but injury prone, and he could struggle to get back in the team when fit with the wingers chelsea now have, I can see him moving on next summer depending on how things pan out.
