In my opinion, I don't think you can judge a man on one game alone, and I believe De Gea has what it takes to make it big although it's going to take time. One charity match can define how his season will go.

All of the players you listed were on my mind while working on this piece, but when it came down to it, I was thinking along the lines of who will make the biggest impact for their teams, good or bad. Although the players you listed will make an impact, I believe these players will make the most noticeable.

And on the Lampard comment, I totally agree with you on the fact that it depends if he comes back to form. On whether or not he'll be able to play for another couple years is just an opinion, and it is possible.

. You say Lampard has a few more years in him. He doesn't; he has maybe a year left as a starter in the first team and that will be reliant on his form picking up.

. You say Mata will take the reigns of Lampard, yet they perform entirely different roles. Mata is a replacement for Malouda, the type of player Chelsea have lacked since the departure of Robben.

. This list seems to consist purely of high profile/high money moves. What about Santon, Cabaye, Ruiz, Brown and Jones?

. De Gea had a rather torrid time in the Community Shield.
