Realistic targets

          
   What has been a season of unwanted media unrest and managerial chaos, Chelsea have the opportunity to win two trophies come the end of the season and create history in European football.But with the possibility of winning successive European titles after their Champions League crown - and join the likes of Ajax and Juventus to win every European competition - Benitez's men will be rallied up for the competition.Thing is, it is not only Fernando Torres who is struggling in the current Chelsea set up. Despite his debut appearance and wonder-goal against Manchester United, Demba Ba has looked far from dangerous since his arrival at Stamford Bridge. I know the former Newcastle man only signed in January, and for just £7million is a good bit of business.Chelsea need to sign a striker on a similar wave-length to Hazard and Mata, a more technical forward who can link up with the duo and have a more direct influence of the build up. Borussia Dortmund's Marco Reus and Firoentia's Stevan Jovetic are two players I'd like to see at Chelsea. The duo have a lower centre of gravity, and possess the talent and skill to flourish in this Chelsea squad.An FA Cup semi-final against Manchester City is a daunting task, but after knocking out Manchester United in the previous round the London club will be confident of their chances come Sunday 14th May. Rafael Benitez has confirmed he is only at Chelsea till the end of the season – which begs the question as to just who will replace the Spaniard? Former Chelsea coach Jose Mourinho has been tipped for a sensational return to the club. Whilst all the top, young managers around the world - such as Jurgen Klopp and Antonio Conte - have been linked with a move to Stamford Bridge. Personally, all three names seem incredibly unlikely – but Chelsea will need a manager next season, this time for the long run.
