Starting to get the Blues

this story im looking to start with Chelsea .
after a brief look at the squad Ive noticed the players are starting to get fairly old now and in there prime . but at the same time have a few very excting youngsters such as:

Romelu Lukaku
Josh mchreachan
Oriol Romeu
Connor Clifford

my aim for the first season is to clear out all the deadwood which i have already starting doing by selling :

Tranfers OUT :

Nicholas Anelka - PSG - $5.25 million
Paulo ferriera - Benfica $1 million
Hilario - Free transfers

Transfers IN :

Enzo Zidane - $2.5 million
Aleksander Kolarov $12.75 million


ill make another update after first month of games with resutls and transfers

so a busy August has ended . . . .

very positive first 3 matches :

Stoke vs Chelsea (A) 0-2 - ( Ramires , Lampard )
Chelsea vs West Brom (H) 2-0 ( drogba , Raul meireles )
Chelsea vs Norwich (H) 6-0 ( Lukaku (2), mata (2) , Drogba (2)

positive young signings :

Enzo zidane
Aleksander Kolarov
Christian Maldini
Lucas Andersen

Im also hoping to qualify from my Champions league grp stage as ive been drawn a relatively easy group

Chelsea
Rangers
Lyon
Zurich



next update after 20 or so games

AUGUST - OCTOBER

---

So here is a brief update of the last three months of action.



Pretty solid results thus far except we seem to be lacking something against the bigger sides which i tend to work on in the coming months.

Chelsea are currently lieing 2nd in table. and as you can see there is only 4 points separating the top 6



Champions League has been pretty straightforward at this minute which was really expected . with 3 wins out of 3 . looking good for the knockout round with a win against Zurich in 2 days time

[color=#EF2929][/color]NOVEMBER

(Champions League) Chelsea vs Zurich (2-0)
(Premier League) Blackburn vs Chelsea (2-4)
(Premier League) Chelsea vs Liverpool (3-1)
(Champions League) Chelsea vs Rangers (2-2) [
(Premier League) Chelsea vs Wolves (4-0) [

November was a good month for us .. that draw with Rangers is the point we needed to be assured of top spot in our group and hope for a easier draw come quarter final time

i also picked up my first manager of the month award after coming in second for the previous 2 months







DECEMBER


(Premier League) Newcastle United vs Chelsea (0-1)
(Champions league) Lyon vs Chelsea (2-2)
(Premier League) Chelsea vs Manchester City (2-0)
(Premier League) Wigan vs Chelsea (0-0)
(League Cup Qtr Final) Fulham vs Chelsea (1-3)
(Premier League) Chelsea vs Fulham (3-0)
(Premier League) Chelsea vs Aston Villa (2-0)

well we have come to the end of the year and i must say im pretty happy with the way it has gone still fighting on all 4 fronts . with maybe one signing in january we can really push on and clinch the title away from Manchester United





looking pretty good at this very moment: hoping to keep this great form going for a long while yet to keep piling the pressure





i was happy to qualify 1st from my group in order to get an easier match in the first knockout round of the Champions league. but with that i was falsely mistaken as i drew European giants Ac Milan



Next update will be After the January transfer window Slams shut
hope everyone is enjoying my story

with this game, you can win with Ac Milan 5-0 :p. Keep it up and win the Premiershi[ and Champions League.

Cheers !

JANUARY


(Premier League) Wolves vs Chelsea (3-0)
(FA Cup Rnd 3) Chelsea vs Stoke (2-0)
(League Cup Semi Final Leg 1) Chelsea vs Blackburn (2-0)
(Premier League) Chelsea vs Sunderland (3-0)
(Premier League) Tottenham vs Chelsea (2-1)
(Premier League) Norwich vs Chelsea (1-0)
(League Cup Semi Final Leg 2) Blackburn vs Chelsea (1-3)
(Fa Cup Rnd 4) Chelsea vs Reading (1-0)
(Premier League) Swansea vs Chelsea (2-2)

The new year started in the worst possible way with a loss .. which was our first loss since the start of September. we followed up with 3 wins on the trot, then bought straight back down to earth with 2 losses in as many game against Tottenham and Norwich respectively

there is 2 positives to come out of January though. we are through to to 5th round of the Fa Cup



And the Final of the League Cup




We made some moves in the Transfer window :

Transfers In

Giorgos Spanoudakis - Barcelona - $2.7 million
Gary Cahill - Bolton - $22 million
Lucas Piazon - Sao Paolo $ 10.5 million

Transfers Out

Florent Malouda - PSG - Loan Fee $525K
Alex - Fiorentina - $5.25 million




the 3 losses i suffered in January allowed Manchester United to pull 6 points clear which i am not to happy about at this present time . but i am confident we can close gap and march on towards the title

Hi

Well done for your achievements. Started a new one with the Blues recently & am in January, top of EPL by 1 point & finished top of CL group. knocked out of the league cup though by united in semis. Straight away i sold Anelka, Ferreira & Hilario(free) (coincidence?) will post some shots when i can as i havent been able to play for a couple of days. I play them as 4-1-2-3 formation always trying to rotate a couple of players. One player i did purchase though was 24million striker Leandro Diamao (Internacional/Brazil). 22 years old, scored about 2 goals a match for the first few matches but since has dropped in performance throughout xmas period. Resting him for a bit, hope he will pick up again soon. Also bought 17 year old Romario RB from FLamengo i think, Gonna get rid of Malouda, Drogba, Bosingwa in the summer hopefully & will even let torres go if i can get a good price & get two decent players with the money.
