OPINION: Name 10 players Roman shouldn't have sold!?

I was reading this article posted by a Chelsea fan who was giving his opinion on the 10 players Roman Abramovich should not have sold/released during his time at Chelsea and it got me thinking to say the least.

He lists the 10 players as the following:

10. Gianfranco Zola
9. Franco Di Santo
8. Carlo Cudicini
7. Lassana Diarra
6. Eidur Gudjohnsen
5. Glen Johnson
4. Joe Cole
3. Damien Duff
2. Ricardo Carvalho
1. Arjen Robben.

For starters we have to remember who was managing the club at the time and also the situation that surrounds the reason the player leaves the club. There are some players we never wanted to leave but for one reason or another such as being injury prone or wanted guaranteed first team football that left the club with no choice.

Some of these players I do agree with. Eidur Gudjohnsen for me is one I will always disagree with the club on. He was pivotal in our success and a real class act. Joe Cole another and Robben. For Cole he couldn't force his way into the side because of the form of Malouda and I guess if you think about it, Robben was deemed as injury prone and never really the same player he was once he broke his foot away to Blackburn. Besides that, Madrid offered Chelsea silly money so the club cashed in.

Some of the other players not mentioned are:
Crespo, Gronkjaer, Forssell, Smertin, Kezman, Parker, Carlton Cole, Tiago, Sidwell, Del Horno, Huth, Gallas, Geremi, Bridge, Wright-Phillips, Sahar, Ben Haim, Pizarro, Sinclair, Stoch, and Deco.

There are so many more players that haven't even been thought of that have left the club. I just wondered about the rest of you Chelsea fans, what players were you disappointed to see go and wished they had stayed at the club for no matter how long?
