Marcel Desailly No 6

What can you say about this guy, "The Rock" is without doubt the greatest defender ever to play for Chelsea FC.

A collosus, who scares the life out of any forward who dares to go near him, a magnificent tackler who can play in a back four, as well as play in midfield where he played  for AC Milan.

Out of all the new signings, the signing of Marcel got us the most excited, voted by FIFA as The Best Defender In The World

If and when Marcel does go back to France to finish his playing days, how do you replace him?, Viva "le Rock"
