10 Players Who Wish Chelsea Had Signed Them

For these players, it was simply a case of what might have been.

It's easy to see why many players would see a move to Stamford Bridge as appealing - lucrative contracts, potential silverware and the chance to play with some of the finest footballers in world footballers. It's enough to leave players ruefully looking at their current situation, and marvelling at how green the grass is in west London. Chelsea have been busy bees in the transfer market during the last 15 years or so, and top-class footballers have come and gone through those marble-arch doors at Stamford Bridge. However, there have been numerous cases of deals that never bore fruition. Whether it was a player turning down the overtures of the Blues a season or two before Roman Abramovich strode into town, the club baulking at another side's asking price for a player, or even a failed medical, there have been a number of reasons for these failed deals. Surely some of these players take a look at their own career trajectory since these failed moves to Stamford Bridge and wish things had turned out differently? League titles, domestic trophies and Champions Leagues have been added to the trophy cabinet in west London during the last decade, and maybe some of these players might just wish their potential moves to Chelsea had gone through. Take a look at the ten players who probably wished they had ended up at Chelsea.
