Which one player would you poach from… Chelsea?

PUB DEBATE

December 5th, 2008 · 5 Comments

Use your vote wisely

The scenario: You’re the manager of a Premier League team, and you’re allowed to strengthen your squad by signing just one player in the January transfer window. But you can only choose someone from Chelsea’s star-packed squad - so who do you pick?

Your options: So much talent to choose between, it’s hard to even make a shortlist, let alone reduce Chelski’s squad to just one essential player. JT, Lamps, The Drog, Essien etc. Which one to go for?

There can be only one. Vote below:

This week, you have already voted to poach the following players:

Arsenal: Cesc Febragas

Aston Villa: Ashley Young

Blackburn Rovers: Roque Santa Cruz

Bolton Wanderers: Jussi Jaaskalainen

Each of the four won by a healthy margin. Can’t see that happening with Chelsea - they have too many good players.

Such a tough one. Switched between Anelka, Malouda and Essien before eventually settling on Bosingwa - now not sure I made the right choice.

It has to be Essien - the man is a quality footballer no question…

As a United fan who is very happy with the squad I would still have Essien in a heartbeat..

A. Cole because then I can make the addidas or nike to switch the C with an H ‘accidently’
