Toss up between Hargreaves and Malouda.

Robben is a very good winger when he isn't flopping or being injured most of the time. I am guessing that Moroniho had enough of this... Malouda however, is a very strong player who works hard and produces endless opportunities for his teammates to score. Instant upgrade for Chelsea and at 14 million pounds is a steal. Expect him to do big things this season where he will get ample time running defenses ragged.

Hargreaves is a tireless worker who gets the unglamorous job of mopping up in front of the defense. He's quick, good tackler, great marker and rarely loses the ball when he has it. He immediately allows the wingers, attacking midfielder and strikers to bomb forward without worrying about counterattacks. He is going to make life miserable for attacking teams in the epl. One thing I did read was that Hargreaves gets injured a lot. Sweed, can you commment on this...
