Non-Chelsea Transfer News & Other Stuff

Days are moving at snail’s pace for Chelsea. With three signings already done, all that we can do is watch other clubs make their signings and take a snipe at them. It’s kind of annoying to see clubs still busy with their transfers while we are all but done. Anyway, it’s their business.

Liverpool is after Fernando Torres, who is just another good striker and nothing more than that. I have nothing against Torres but he has been shit in all matches I’ve seen him play. If Torres’ arrival means Crouch going to the other side, Atletico gets a better deal. Sometimes, clubs need to realise that goals are better than shirt sales. You know what’s common to me and Torres - footballing talent . . nah . . I’m a better striker (in WE9) - we share the same birthday!

The Babel story is over. He’s gonna stay with Ajax for another season and may be if Walcott improves, Babel might never get a kick in an Arsenal shirt. Good for Babel I’d say. He’s improved his chances of being a league champion coming season. Anelka for Henry. French for French. It’s between boring and disgusting to see so many French players in a club which is managed by a French. My heart stopped when I read this news “Flamini in Blues link“. So many other clubs are referred as ‘Blues’, but I can’t help but to presume for a moment it’s Chelsea everytime. Finally, I realised that Birmingham are interested in him. Man, it really chilled my spine, when I thought he was linked to us.

Not the best of weeks for the goner fans. Their chairman cuts all the niceties and talks about Henry’s excuse and Juan Laporta exposes Henry’s first loyalty dilemma. In a press conference, when asked about if Wenger would also join Barca, he said ‘Arsène is a good boss, but Frank Rikjaard is the best manager in the world at the moment.’ while Henry was listening to this with a poker face. Arsenal dont want Ljunberg to stay. If Freddie has the habit of reading newspapers, he’d have known this by now. He is a very good player who can be lot better for a mid-table team than for Arsenal now.

I expect the gap between the top 4 and the rest to reduce this season. I could see that teams like Tottenham, Bolton, Newcastle and West Ham have been boosted well and Man City getting ‘darling of england’ as their new boss and add to this last season’s surprise Reading and next season’ probable surprise Sunderland. Well, did I miss Everton who are busy with moving their stadium while the world is moving ahead of them? Personally, I wouldn’t want them to move out of Liverpool mostly because we might miss the intensity of a good evenly poised derby.

The official website reports that two newspapers - Daily Telegraph & Daily Mirror - have apologised to Chelsea FC for publishing false information in a defaming manner in the bung investigation. I put this news here because you wont see this Chelsea-favouring news published in any website except the official website and a very few other sites. Geremi is all set to move to Newcastle which is a very good move for all the parties concerned. He is a good player with excellent commitment but he has his limitations which do not put him the league of players that can regularly play for Chelsea.

The Copa America started yesterday in superb fashion for Pizarro as he helped Peru win 3-0 over Uruguay while the eternal dark horse Mexico thumped the Champions Brazil 2-0. Finally, if you like number crunching, the official statistics of the 06-07 season for Chelsea is out. Helps you while you’re arguing with your mates.

That’s it. See ya.

hey M_D , great ur back , and here i was getting bored with nothing good to debate abt!!!!

i too agree that Lamps is not a creative midfielder , but by this i dont undermine his qualities , fitness or commitments , he is a fine player , but CFC really need a creative player in the middle , the talk of the town lately has been Barca offering Deco for Lamps!!!! I dont know what u guys think abt this switch but i wld really love a player with flair and creativity , and i dont doubt Shev wld disagree!!!!

Recent news suggests that Malouda has verbally agreed to join CFC and is now forcing Lyon to accept the 12mn pounds on the table , though i wld hav loved to hav Quaresma but still ,atleast now that unfit and undependable Robben cant take his place for granted!!!!!

joeblue, thanx, glad to see you too.

You know I have a propencity to disappear suddenly as Lampard does on Champions League semi-finals. LOL :)))

I want us to get rid of Lampard but don’t know if we really need Deco. In August he’ll be 30. As you know I want Van der Vaart. He is better and much younger. But, at least, I believe we’ll have more flair and creativity with Deco than we had with Lamps. And you’re right: Sheva will be happier.

From wingers I prefer Quaresma over Malouda but Jose will certainly go for Malouda.

If we sell Lampard that will already bring fresh and exciting atmosphere to the team.

I like Deco. He would be a good replacement for Lampard, even if for two seasons. I’d rather see him in Blue rather than Lampard. His flair, fire, and talent is undoubtable. His game is unbelievable, and I certainly thought he was Barca’s best player last year.

Yes M_D , i too wld love Van Der Vaart , and guess what hes a freekick expert aswell , i regularly follow the german budesliga and he is by far the most talented and creative midfielder!!!! Not only can he carry the whole team on his back(like he singlehandedly saved them this season , and was the focal point of their wonderful season before) , he is young , fit and developing very quickly , he is fast and intelligent , and dependable , oh and he loves the big ocassions!!!!!!

Just came across this blog and i looooooove it. It was on the sun this morning that a swap for lamps hasnt been ruled out. If deco comes to the bridge, that would be a very good thing.I really dont know much about van der vaart but if we bid for him, am sure he is going to be overpriced. just like SWP was.
BC you are doing a good job.

Bluegal.

I have read in several places that Juventus is going to go for Van der Vaart. Such a pity that we have a stupid board!

If I were in Jose’s place and Abramovich would be willing to give big (though not limitless) amounts of money and if it was only me who decides whom to buy and whom to sell my team for the next year would be this:

4-4-2

…………………….Cech……………………
Dani Alves….Carvalho…..Terry…….A.Cole/Bridge
…………………Essien…………………….
J.Cole…………………………..Robben/Quaresma
……………….Van der Vaart…………………
……………Drogba…….Saviola……………….

Bench: Cudicini, Hilario, Ballack, Shevchenko, Kalou, Mikel, Sidwell, Ferreira, Ben Haim, Ben Sahar, Alex.

4-5-1

……………………Cech………………….
Dani Alves…Carvalho….Terry…..A.Cole/Brigde
…………..Essien………………………..
……………………Ballack………………..
J.Cole………………………….Robben/Quaresma
…………Van der Vaart………………………
…………………….Drogba………………….

Bench: you already know.

As you see I would sell Lampard to Barca and buy Van der Vaart from Hamburg.

Now this team has everything: flair, creativity and solidity.

What would be your team for the next season if you were to choose and add on what we already had from the last season? Your signings should be realistic ones.

Quaresma and van der vaart would be exellent additions to our team of superstars this year with the quality coming in we will be contenders for the champions league !! also i think we need a decent right back but if dani alves comes we have a world class line up. Cech, Dani Alves, Terry, Carvalho, Cole, J.Cole, Lampard, Sidwell, Malouda, Pizzaro, Drogba !! that is a team of born winners !!!
