Whether it be Eden Hazard or Joe Cole, N'Golo Kante or Claude Makelele, Diego Costa or Didier Drogba, the west Londoners can flaunt their extensive history with pride.

So, we Carefree Chelsea at , present you four starting elevens comprising Abramovich's best signings - let us know whose side is the best and give us your elevens in the comments section.

4-3-3: Petr Cech; Cesar Azpilicueta, Thiago Silva, Gary Cahil, Ashley Cole; Cesc Fabregas, N'Golo Kante, Claude Makelele; Eden Hazard, Didier Drogba, Joe Cole

Straight off the bat, I want to make it clear that my selections are heavily influenced by players I've had the privilege of watching live for Chelsea.

I'd love to have been able to watch Ricardo Carvalho during his prime years at the Blues live; of course, I had the chance to watch him live at Chelsea but just not his prime years, which he's primarily remembered for.

The midfield speaks for itself, but a part of me wanted to include Juan Mata - Fabregas, Kante, and Makelele are just untouchable in my books, unfortunately.

With the front three, I'd have loved to have squeezed in Diego Costa, Nicolas Anelka, Salomon Kalou or Florent Malouda, for example, but Hazard, Drogba and Cole are just unrivalled
