The January 2011 transfer

Well ! Everyone knew that Fernando Torres a.k.a El Niño had left Anfield  and headed to Stamford Bridge. This is going to be the transfer of year as Chelsea spent € 58.5 m on Torres & another € 23 m on David Luiz. This time , Manchester City spent less than Chelsea. 


Phew ...... by the way , what made me so excited is Chelsea will face Liverpool on 7 Feb. What a coincidence ! Torres 're wearing in Blue uniform to face his former team but what formation will be used by Carlo Ancelotti ? I personally predicted they 're going to use 4-4-2 as shown as below. Why ? The combination of Torres and Drogba are very formiable with the support of Lampard and Malouda which made them a very great attacking team.

4-4-2

Fernando Torres               Didier Drogba

Florent Malouda  Frank Lampard   Essien   Ramires

Ashley Cole    John Terry(c)    David Luiz     Branislav Ivanovic

    Petr Cech

Substituitions :

Henrique Hilario

Nicolas Anelka

Salomon Kalou

John Obi Mikel

Yuri Zhirkov

Jeffrey Bruma

Jose Bosingwa

While for Liverpool FC , I think it should be something like this :

4-3-3

Dirk Kuyt     Andy Carroll    Luis Suarez

Raul Meireles    Steven Gerrald(c)    Lucas

Martin Kelly  Martin Skrtel  Daniel Agger Glen Johnson

Pepe Reina

Substituitions :

Peter Gulacsi

David N'Gog

Joe Cole

Jay Spearing

Maxi Rodriguez

Sotirios Kyrgiakos

Fabio Aurelio

I think both team has equal chance against each other but I just can't imagine Torres will face Liverpool so early. I 'm expecting Luis Suarez & Andy Carroll will going to rock Chelsea during their debut.
