Name a player who seemed ideally suited to Chelsea but never signed for us?
Can be anyone from any era.
And (for fun) we can also extend that to managers.

Hulk
Matej Delac
Felt like Cavani was nailed on for an underwhelming stint with us considering we signed essentially all of his peers at that time.
Tevez
I always thought Simeone is the most Chelsea manager to never manage us
Diego Simeone as a manager suited Chelsea’s old defensive style to a T.
Current players, I think Osimhen.
Yaya Toure
Jamal Blackman lmao
Rafael Leao
Neil Etheridge. Really thought he’d be a great third keeper that’d never appear but just stick around forever.
Peter Crouch was a Chelsea fan and I think would have made a popular (if shit) striker for us
The hero of Baku

Rob Green
Jamie Vardy
In some other universe, de Bruyne would be Chelsea legend
Declan Rice
I remember reading a Sergio Aguero interview where he said he dreamed of playing in the blue of Chelsea. Then about 18 months later, he was at Citeh.
Modric
Aguero
Kounde or Raphinha
Freddy Adu
Jackson Martinez this guy had like one good season but looked like a stud
People are just mentioning names of players they wish had signed for Chelsea lol. Some of the names being mentioned are not Chelsea type players
Alex Sandro
Under Conte it felt like bonucci would eventually play for us until it never happened
Golovin
Easy, Victor Osimhen
Sergio Ramos
Jackson Martinez
Thought John Stones always looked a Chelsea style centre half, and waltermsde probably a Chelsea signing who blew the doors off in Germany but couldn’t hit a barn door here
Steven Gerrard
Played 0
Scored 1 (League Cup final)
Assisted 2 (Ba, Drogba)
Honestly? Steven Gerrard. He’s obviously Mr Liverpool but the plan to have Him and Lamps with Maka holding completely fixes why it didn’t work at international level.
James Rodriguez
Ribery
Best. His bravado matches that Chelsea era’s bravado. I miss the 70s. We hadn’t gone into insolvency yet. Good times.
Griezman
I always thought Icardi was the perfect follow up after Costa. Strong, Good Finisher, quite of controversial figure. Got the whole package tbh.
Milinkovic-Savic, Lewandowski
Naingolan (think thats how you spell it) from Italy was CFC
Gerrard
Romeo Lavia
