Chelsea have been plagued with injuries from the word GO this season. One of the major concerns which creeped in lately is the injury to their brave and irreplacable captain John Terry.So now the time has come. The transfer window is open now and Jose's got the money to bring in some quality players . And as usual they've been linked with some big name signings like Micah Richards ( The young england prodigy who became the youngest ever central defender to play for england ) , Sergio Ramos, Tal Ben Haim etc.. SO who do you think, should chelsea buy this january to solve their defensive vows temporarily ???

I would go for Sergio Ramos, from Real Madrid, or Pepe, from FC Porto. Pepe is bound to be the best central defender in Europe in the next years. He's very young, has a good header and he is very, very fast. Last year, FC Porto won the championship with a 3:3:4 formation, with one central defender(Pepe) and two back wings. He was the only central defender and, with that formation, FC Porto only suffered 2 or 3 goals in the championship. It's a real wonder. But I think that, even with all the money Chelsea has, Porto wouldn't sell it, at least not now in January.

You'll see how great he is when FC Porto plays against Chelsea :P Maybe I exaggerated a bit, Pepe has still lots to learn, but he is young, and has all the ability to make him the best central defender. He is really fast (he can virtually mark two players at once), has good technique (dribbling and pass) and has good impulsion and header. And he will be nationalizing Portuguese next year, so he'll be a EU player :P He still needs to learn how to defend more effectively, because he relies a bit too much in his speed...

YEa Pepe's a good defender...But i never knew he was so great...so hope chelsea will take that name into consideration..and Jose is portugese...so he'll definitely keepin an eye on portugese clubs before makin a move.

Yea i too sumwht the same...Micah richards is one of the hottest talents out there...He can sumwht fill up the gap left in central defence by john terry...and ramos can be a regular reliable right back who can defend also..unlike geremi and paulo ferriera
