LONDON (Reuters) - With Romelu Lukaku and Lucas Piazon up front, Oriol Romeu and Marko Marin in midfield and a defence now bolstered by Ryan Bertrand, a Chelsea "loaned out" eleven would arguably be challenging at the top end of the Premier League.

Bertrand, who played at left back in Chelsea's Champions League final win over Bayern Munich in 2012, became Chelsea's 23rd player to be shipped out when he joined Aston Villa for the rest of the season on Friday.
