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.
