Chelsea Focus

Chelsea has become a force to reckon with in Europe. The acquisition of the club by the Russian billionaire, Roman Abrahmovic, and the coming of Jose Mourinho, after winning the UCL with FC Porto.
Jose Mourinho returned to Chelsea after a short stinct with Real
Madrid. The 2013/2014 season was not a good one for the club, as they went trophiless, finishing third in the league behind Liverpool and Man City.
The return of Thibaut Courtois from Atletico Madrid loan, and the
signing of Filipe Luis, Cesc Fabregas and Diego Costa made Chelsea a
winning team. Defending the 2014/2015 BPL trophy which they won in a fantastic fashion would be a greater success for the club.
Now let's take a look at the team and how they are fared.
Thibaut Courtois has made the keeping position is own, even before the departure of the long serving Petr Cech to Arsenal. Asmir Begovic has been signed to replace Cech.
The defensive set up of Chelsea is one of the best in Europe. Despite
the contract extension given to John Terry, Chelsea are still interested in bringing in a long term replacement for the club legend.
Jose Mourinho has been looking towards the direction of the young
Everton defender, John Stones. Though Everton has made their
displeasure known concerning the offer from Chelsea, they also
insisted that only a record fee for the youngster can lure them to
consider their offer. After just a season at Stanford Bridge, Chelsea is considering selling Filipe Luis back to Atletico Madrid, with the
club considering getting Abdul Baba Rahman from Augsburg as his
replacement.
"I love the Eiffel Tower, but i can't have it in my garden." These
were the words of Jose Mourinho about Paul Pogba. Chelsea is a team that plays two midfielder to shield the back four and also initiate attack. To have Pogba partner Nemanja Matic in that position would be deadly combination. If the words of Mourinho is anything to go by, then we shouldn't be expecting a deal for him. A midfielder who can
readily replace Cesc Fabregas when burns out in the second half of the
season should be considered.
Going forward, though the work rate of Willian is commendable but his
contributions towards goals and assist is minimal, while Juan Cuadrado has also not replicated the form that brought him to England. There has been rumours linking Cuadrado back to Italy.
The departure of Didier Drogba has brought about the signing of
Radamel Falcao from Monaco, whose last season loan to Man United was not successful, but has been given yet another opportunity in England with Chelsea this time to prove his worth.
Can they defend their trophy?
