I thought Jose would be with us at the end of this season. I wasn’t wrong. We’ve got a Jose. Jose Bosingwa that is. FC Porto’s official website confirms that the 25-year old right back is pending only medicals at Chelsea. The price is 15.8 million pounds. The news is still not published in the official Chelsea website.
Well I haven’t seen much of Bosingwa myself to give you my opinion. The hearsay is that he is a very good right back with excellent attacking prowess. He has replaced Miguel in the Portuguese first team. He must be bloody good then.
Look at this profile of Bosingwa from Portugoal.net.
Watching Jose Bosingwa motoring tirelessly up and down the right flank, defending astutely and attacking menacingly, has become a spectacle within a spectacle at FC Porto’s matches over recent seasons. And at just 24 years of age Bosingwa has a collection of silverware that rivals many of Portugal’s better known players. Born in Kinshasa in the Democratic Republic of Congo, his family moved to Seia in central Portugal while Jose was still a young boy. Playing for local side, Fornos de Algodres, Bosingwa’s skills started to develop. He proved to be ahead of his class and was promptly recruited to join Boavista’s youth academy to further his football education. Bosingwa quickly became one of the club’s brightest prospects and turned professional in 2000 at 18 years of age. After being loaned out briefly to neighbouring club, Freamunde, the player was recalled by Boavista where he stayed for two seasons making 41 appearances in the Portuguese top flight.
His versatility – he was used as a right-back, winger and defensive midfielder by the then coach, Jaime Pacheco – and impressive performances caught the attention of city rivals, FC Porto, and the player was transferred to the Portuguese giants in the summer of 2003. It was here that the young boy born in the heart of Africa began to get a taste for winner’s medals. Under the tutelage of Jose Mourinho, Bosingwa contributed with a total of 13 appearances during Porto’s memorable 2003/04 season which saw them lift the Portuguese championship and the Champions League title.
But it was not all peaches and cream for the young right-back as tragedy struck that same year. Bosingwa was at the wheel of his jeep when excess speed and wet road conditions led to a serious accident, with the vehicle skidding off the motorway and rolling down an embankment before bursting into flames. The Porto defender was transporting four other professional footballers as passengers. All escaped alive but one of them, Sandro Luis, had to have his left foot amputated as a result of the accident. As well as having to live with a heavy conscience, Bosingwa’s recklessness fell out of favour with the club where he spent most of the season serving an internally imposed suspension. The following season Bosingwa got back into the headlines for all the right reasons, reclaiming his spot in the starting XI under Dutch coach, Co Adriaanse, as FC Porto won the domestic double.
However, it was in 2006/07 that Bosingwa truly came of age as his seemingly endless well of energy patrolling the right-hand flank the whole length of the pitch proved a major factor behind’s Porto’s retention of the Portuguese championship. His magnificent season’s cake received the proverbial cherry topping when he earned his first call-up to the senior Portugal squad just days after Porto had lifted the title.
Quite promising right? One sad inference is that we’d never get Dani Alves. I absolutely love this guy. It’s a pity that he is out of the equation now. With Sevilla missing out on champions league and Alves himself looking to move, isn’t this the right time to snatch him?
I wonder what his signing means to Belletti and Ferreira. I’m impressed with Belletti’s performance this season. He should get one more season. He can be a fantastic substitute. Ferreira was good but he just needs some kind of guidance and motivation I believe. After all he was our right back when we won our two titles. Ferreira also has the experience of winning numerous trophies, all with JM though. He signed a new 5-year deal with Chelsea in Feb 2008. So, is that a goodbye to Belletti? That’d be sad.
Few questions pop up:
1. Is Bosingwa a good signing for Chelsea?
2. Should we stick with Paulo Ferreira?
3. Should Belletti be given another season?
4. Did we miss out on Dani Alves?
Anyway, I don’t feel one bit disappointed with the signing of Bosingwa. I believe he can be a better right back than all those we’ve had in the recent years. Warm welcome to Bosingwa to the Chelsea family!

PORTO HAVE CONFIRMED THE SELLING OF BOSINGWA (AN AMAZING RIGHT BACK) TO CHELSEA!!!!!!!!!!

Bosingwa To Chelsea – Done For €20.5m
Porto have agreed to sell full-back Jose Bosingwa to Chelsea this summer for €20.5 million this summer…
»Comments (12) Print This Story Send To A Friend Contact Us galleria zoom The Portuguese giants announced the deal on their website late on Sunday evening, with rumours that it was a done deal having emerged on Friday night.
Bosingwa has allegedly been a target for Manchester United, but it’s Chelsea who have landed the 25-year-old, who has fast established himself as one of the best full-backs in Europe.
“FC Porto want to inform the market that we have come to an agreement with Chelsea about a transfer of the playing rights of athlete José Bosingwa for the price of €20.5 million,” read a statement on the club’s official website.
“We further inform that the deal concerning this transfer will be formalized once the player undergoes a medical exam, with the consent of Futebol Clube do Porto.”
The right-back, also adept in right wing, came through the ranks at Boavista, where he attracted the eye of Jose Mourinho in 2003. The Special One got his man, and he was part of the Champions League winning squad in 2004, and his profile has only risen since.
Bosingwa has earned six caps for Portugal, and is likely to be their first choice right-back at this summer’s European Championships, in an uncanny parallel with Blues defender Paulo Ferreira, who was another Portuguese right-back, who arrived from Porto before Euro 2004.

Chelsea buying Bosingwa…I think we have made a mistake here given that Micah Richards may be abailable…he is young,well adapted to EPL and most importantly he is English and I think English defenders are best suited for EPL…and then if foreign players quota comes into being then having best British players will be great…
Whats daniel alves have to do with valencia BC? he is in sevilla not valencia. Anyways a RB was the utmost need of the hour and a good signing especially because man utd was chasing him badly.
he will group with ferreira, carvalio here and hope riccy and he can develop a great partnership. wow what a back 4
bosignwa- riccy – terry – ashley
great !!!
Yup, that’s a fair comment blueindian. Micah Richards could have been nice but I guess Man Utd have all but secured him. As regards the foreign players quota, I don’t think it would come in the near future. Even if it’s imposed, it would be effective only from three or four seasons later. So, it makes sense to buy young English talent (there isn’t any as per Wenger). At 19 years, Micah Richards would be a superb buy.
Steve Sidwell was a decent player at Reading but the weight of expectations at Chelsea simply sunk him to a point of no return at Chelsea. I kind of believe that continental players are much more temperamental and consistent than the English ones. Of course there are exceptions on either sides.
A 19-year old Micah Richards, if coached well at Chelsea, can be a fantastic player in the three or four seasons. That’s just wishful thinking as Fergie has all but got him. But didn’t we pluck Mikel out of Old Trafford training ground?
lol Nihongo – that’s got to do with my secret admiration for David Villa and David Silva. What a waste of talents at the bottom half of the table. I truly believe that Villa can be a success in the English league. He is young, smart, sharp and cunning. If Drogba and Sheva are on their way out, will Villa be shortlisted by us?
buy new player, sell the next season.. no continuity.. i’m very suprised why some player still interested in joining casanova club such as chelsea
i’m not too confident about bosingwa. micah or alves will have been better. why are we buying players because other clubs are after them. i mean bosingwa is a good player but if man utd were not behind him, i dont think we would have gone after him.
one good piece of information is that bosingwa is a jose mourinho product. relief!
villa will go to liverpool partnering torres i think.
bosingwa is a good player. i think we should hold on to belletti and sell ferreira. paulo does not seem very interested nowadays. he has been very lacklustre. we should sell ferreira and bring up a right back from the youth team.
if Richards goes to Manure then it will be a big big loss…he is a self confessed Arse fan so lets hope Arse secures him…and then there is Mancity-Manure rivalry issue…
Bosingwa was considered one of the 3 best RB in europe
this year by L’equipe french sports newspaper.
so wasd a good buy, Ferreira will be on his toes, competition
in the club and in the national team
In my opinion I think Portugal team is one of the best in europe
if not the best.Sure they are the brazilians of europe, I wish
my german team was as good
BC
bosingwa will be playing in euro and hence will return tired/injured this season atleast. remember ballacks poor first season had much to do with his world cup, taking up injuries and no energy left.
We cannot expect that he will start doing wonders straight away so i think both baletti and farreira will be required at season start.
GermanFan – One of the three best RB’s in Europe? Okay then, I’ll be following him keenly in this Euro 2008. I thought Portugal has a problem upfront. They have superb wingers but don’t have a world class centre forward. Am I right?
blueindian – about the man utd – man city rivalry, i don’t think that would come between Micah’s signing. If Campbell can move from Spurs to Arsenal, anyone can move from anywhere lol.
Nihongo
Even if Portugal reaches the final, they’d have played only 6 matches – three group league matches, one quarterfinal, one semi final and a final. That’s it. He played only 34 matches for FC Porto this season. In Chelsea, if he is the first choice, he might have to play more than 50 matches in a season.
So I think his participation in Euro should not drain him too much.
you are quite right BC!! just hope he doesnt gets injured.
Great signing
(1)Bosingwa is a complete righback..attacking and defending..
(2)Lahm is not in good form currently
(3)Alves-v.good attacking but defensively no good. 2 red cards this season
(4)micah-defensively very good, attacking?? can be a good cover for centerback. and ofcos, injury prone
basically Bosingwa is a good buy but we have seen in previous occasion where Del Horno is taunted as one of the best leftback and yet failed to live up to expectation. so, anything can happen. hopefully he is not as good as reported.. hehehehe
#14. BlueChampion
Yes you right there, but portuguese football and their academies produce wingers and midfield players as well as defenders. They philosophy is that anyone in a position can scoire goals, you only have to watch their matches most goals comes from midfield players, but you right they could do with a center forward.
Mind you saying that Hugo Almeida that plays in Germany is not a bad goal scorer himself, but it is true thay do not produce centre forwards .
But look at their team BC, maybe the G/K position is not one of the best, but their defence is quite something., with R Carvalho and now Pepe (with real Madrid), RB Bosingwa, P Ferreira and Miguel (for me when in form the most oustanding of them all, but very too keen in discos, he may not be called by Scoralli because of that) the midfield is full of top quality players so is the wings.
A real top squad, I reckon that if every player is fit for the European this summer, Portugal could win it, as long as they avoid Italy and France lol, not because those 2 are better than Portugal, but Portugal never beat Italy in official games and has not beaten France since 1986.
Well Bosingwa was a very good buy for Chelsea.
Arsenal going for quaresma, but a price tag of 40MM euros may make AW think twice.
But Mu and Real Madrid both want him too.
Another brilliant winger, in form better than C Ronald, in my opinion, but lazy doesnt defend.
I think we should not have more than two right-backs…as it is right now we have 10 defenders (Cole, Bridge, Terry, Carvalho, Alex, Ben Haim, Ivanovic, Ferreira, Belletti, Bosingwa). I’d opt for Ben Haim and Belletti to leave since Ferreira is younger and more accustomed to the English game.
belletti was more of a stop gap. He is too old and slow to effectively play against a fast winger and cant go back to defend fast enough. Tal ben haim was not needed and ivanovic i think is there just in case, carvalho getting semi-old and terry quite injury prone, if both of them are gone we have alot of trouble in the back. Then bridge and cole both play left.
To #7. In all honesty how many of our first team have we really sold? The only one who actually performed was robben, he was glass and we got a alot for him.
I think unless any players leave we basically have a side that can manage next season as well.
Cech
Bosingwa—Terry—Riccy—A. Cole
Topclass defence
. I think we did a good job here
@ ish;
Ivanovic is a great talent, he’s someone for the future
. He’ll get his chance sometime. Tal ben Haim was a temporary solution for injuryproblems, same for beletti. In my opinion we could sell those both guys. Then we still have a great defence, with Terry and Carvalho, and ofcourse Alex as a stand-in. At rightback we’ll have Ferreira(more defensive back) and Bosingwa(more attacking back). You can pick one of these guys, depending on the game. And ofcourse at leftback A. Cole and as a reasonable stand-in Wayne Bridge. I would say we have a complete defence…
Another right back? And whatever happened to Branislav Ivanovic? (another player Chelsea signed to block United from getting).
Chelsea F.C have confirmed the deal and the player is in England right now to complete a medical and strike personal terms. Its on the official website!!!
I am wondering about Ivanovic as well. He is only a year younger than Bosingwa and has an admirable bite about him in the Youtube videos I’ve seen.
For such a lauded talent, I’m worried that with Bosingwa’s signing, he’s not going to get anywhere near the team, seeing as no one is going to displace Ash on the left, JT or Percy in the centre, Alex is established third choice and we now have at least two other players at right back (I don’t think Belletti will stay). It’s going to be an interesting summer… Good luck to our new Jose anyway!
Just a thought: maybe Ivanovic will end up playing in the Makelele role…?
arsenal are at it again i think they should be given serious warning to keep off the duo of franco di santo and kakuta i thaught they said they have the most talented
young players pls this duo are goin to blow up and become someting else soon so whatever kakuta want they should give it to him so astma or arsenal or whatever can keep off from a rumour i heard that kakuta is keen to join arsenal on a condition that they sign di santo (hi best friend) and this tiery henry rumour i hope its not true because we need to know that when you want to sign a player that have seen it all he wont give you up to 40 percent he is after the pay but tou striker always have something to prove and bonsingwa is a very nice signing bordoux brazilian duo ezequel and wendel are the next big things they are both sriker shaking french league and for a club like that if we approach them they wiil be left with no option bet to release them
I wonder if we really need any players without the clean up of some of the players. It looks like young Ivanovic is going to be made scape goat like Sidwell….. some of the things that I dont agree with CFC as even this seemed to deny Manu rather than the marginal requirement we had……
As I had already said, we need only two signings for next year and I hoped it was a Striker and creative CM. One is done, but we definitely need a CM badly. Look at the no of free kick’s that Manu converts and CFC converts. Diego should be the man and of course either Lamps or Ballacks AND Grumpy should have to leave.
di santo should be given chance next season who know after thee or four matches he could become our key player because he has already shown the sign in the reserve team
sharp wingers are the only thing we nned as it stand now
good signing and i think we would of lost the race to sign alves
this is all so shocking as there were no rumours at all about chelsea trying to sign him!!!!
anyway gd luck to him and btw what do u think his hirt number would be??????
I am a bit excited abt Boswinga in the team, finally a RB that supposedly can match our brilliant defensive four !
Altho i am disappointed that Alves wont be under consideration now, i had heard he provides useful penetration down the flank, just like essien when he is RB but also while keeping an eye on his defensive responsibilities, what do you think BC ? Is an available Boswinga a better option than an effort to hunt down Alves ?
Altought I dont like Porto u got to give to them that they have an eye for talent.That said hes a very good ofensive righ back (may seem contradictory but thats the way it is).
Why offload belleti and go for alvez when both are great on the offense and are not top notch defensively. Jose B fits the bill- a hardworking defender who posseses the will to overcome great odds- What do you expect from a boy raised by Jose and who bears the name of the special one.
But having said that, i still maintain that belleti is no Boulharouz for us to offload just after one season. He is quality especially going forward so let us deploy him to give some pressure to Joey. Joey’s unnecessary showboating on that right flank irks me to no end. some pressure from belleti who knows exactly how to cut in and how to give in perfect crosses on that right flank and posseses a thunderbolt of a shot will do us a world of good. where does that leave SWP? I believe SWP should be used more in the centre of midfield (the way he was used during the African cup of nations).
who is replacing Drogs is the big question now? Etoo for me. Otherwise Luca tony.
1. Is Bosingwa a good signing for Chelsea?…. hell yes!!!
2. Should we stick with Paulo Ferreira?…..yes
3. Should Belletti be given another season?….. nope, hes a bit too old, thanks for the service
4. Did we miss out on Dani Alves?… nope we didnt want him
I dont want us to destroy Ivanovic by leaving him on the bench……!!
can Ivanovic play across the back line…??? i think we should use Ivanovic/Bosingwa as our RB pair
@33. mike ayad I think we should give him the number 16 or 17…!!
which GK should we sign….???
we need Strikers more than mid field players….. we should make Mario Gomez a priority
if drogba, sheva, Pizarro leave that leaves us with only anelka that we will need 3 new forwards, Mario Gamez, Villa, benzema (hoping) and promote Di Santo!
Jose Boswinga!!!!! or if you like the new boss of the chelsea right winger- boss-winger.
@36. MourofEssien (MoE)who is replacing Drogs is the big question now? Etoo sounds quite good too!!
my friend the fact of the matter is we have to go all out the replace this world class player!!!
guys Bosingwa is Just like MANCHESTER’S EVRA but on the right side.
As Portuguese and a FC Porto’s fan I can assure you guys that Chelsea bought the best right-back in Europe at the moment! And I’m not saying this because he played at my club. Daniel Alves is wonderful, Micah Richards might turn out to be a great player, but Bosingwa is better than both. Let´s put it this way: you won’t need a right winger with Bosingwa on the team! He can, and will do, the entire side alone; which sometimes can be quite a trouble on the defense level.
You shouldn’t be worried about his physical capacities. He can endure a game at an higher pace than most of the players. Portugal won an outstanding right-back, but lost a promising sprinter for the Olympics! Check him out on Euro’08, you’ll see the great asset he can be for any squad.
should chelsea go after Quaresma….. I think so what do you guys think??? (heard we are thinking about going for him)
also heard that Chelsea FC ready to offload French striker Anelka….. that would not be wise, he is just a talented forward…. good finisher infront of goal, lets see if Rijkaard has him in his plans if he comes….. it would not be wise to sell him after six months anyway!!!
@37 denver i was also thinking he should take the 17!!!!!!
CHELSEA HAVE OFFICIALLY ANNOUNCED THAT HE HAS PASSED HIS MEDICAL AND WILL JOIN THE TEAM AFTER THE EUROS. IT ALSO SAYS HE HAS SIGNED A THREE YEAR DEAL!!!!
José Bosingwa has agreed terms with Chelsea Football Club and will join the club after Euro 2008. He has agreed a three-year contract.
@44. mike ayad damn only three years … we should have contracted him for 4 years…..!! o well at least we have him. Chelsea is going to kick ass next season!!
CL is ours!!!! we are a good team in finals we can hold our nerves quite well because JM made us mentally stronge + we a hungry for CL to add to ur trophy list!!!!

CL is ours!!!! we are a good team in finals we can hold our nerves quite well because JM made us mentally stronge + we are hungry for CL to add to ur trophy list!!!!
whats the deal with Ivanovic hope we use him well next season
Hi guys…
Bosingwa is a good talent n stuff, but i would have preffered Micah richards..Micah can play both CB & RB..He has already broken into the senior english side and is a proven talent in the EPL..and hes just 19…he can only get better with each passing year
I think we should sell Beletti, TBH & Bridge…
Bridge is fine going forward, but he sucks defensively..Philip lahm is available and we should go for him..he is one of the best LBs in the world and he can also play at RB
Our back line next season should look something like this..
Ferreira/Bosingwa—–Terry/Ivanovic/Carvalho/Alex—–Cole/Lahm…
I would still have opted for Micah Richards..
I hope Bosingwa does very well for us.
Quaresma would be another great signing as he can play both on the left & right wings..He would be a great replacement for SWP
Any news on van Der Vaart???
Guys the best academy in Europe and maybe in the World is the Sporting Club of Portugal , better known Sporting of Lisbon.
used to be the Ajax one in the 80′s but since then Sp[orting excelled
Porto is just a copy cat
#42. denver
quaresma is in talks with Real Madrid, and ManU also in the run, maybe ManU have the advantage because of Ronaldo they were grew together at Sporting, in fact Quaresma wnet to the first team 3 months before Ronaldo.
Quaresma in form is as good as Ronaldo anytime, but a much lazier player, will not recover the ball if he loses it, unlike Ronaldo that will descend into the defence to get the ball. But Quaresma is magic.
Regarding Anelka, this is A Grant fault, it only shows you that AG can not motivate anything, infact even destroys, Anelka has always been an above average player, but at chelsea AG just burnt him. If Rijkaard you will see that Frank will recover Anelka.
I dont think Rijkaard will come , he mentioned in the spanush press that he wants a sabbatical 6 to 12 months just like JM.
now avram grant has no excuse to play essien at right back. i expect that with a a more attacking role, he should get about 7 goals this season.
@ 47. TrueBlueInd no news yet, but it seems Chelsea is working very hard behind the scenses to sign world class players!!
@49. GermanFan thanks man i agree grant is killing Anelka out wide
i am not sure wlll have riccy next season. i think ivansovic will be his replacement.
u better keep all ur defenders. at least when u score one goal, u can start thinking of defending.. as said by The Special One, park the bus in front of the goal.. u can use 6 at the back with A.Cole, Ivanovic, Terry, Carvalho, Ferreira, Bosingwa. btw, what happen to Sidwell? a waste of talent.. Reading could save their EPL slot with Sidwell around, instead Sidwell chose to warm the bench.. hopefully Bosingwa is another Del Horno..
Bosingwa signed a 4 year contract 80,000 pounds a week, not a 3 year deal.
@53 amiaq_freguson
don’t bother about our defenders , btw what happened to Gary Neville. He is not even in the bench .. probably playing against sidwell in reserve games.
Krishna, is the question bout Gary is a serious one? or is it a lousy joke? in Gary’s case, he’s not on the bench simply becos he’s out injured.. is it too difficult for u to figure it out? what about SWP? is he injured as well? hehehehe
the word should be mentioned here is jealousy
hehehehe…
Bosingwa is a nice player I hope he will do the same here at SB. He is also a young player.
@56 amiaq_ferguson
The question was indeed a serious one. did he get injured in the game against Roma. Isn’t he the captain and shouldn’t he play the important games atleast against Wigan
. Why is fergie looking for his replacement – Micah Richards , Danie Allves and Bosingwa himself .. probably interested in the parking the bus syndrome himself in away games . Man U won less games away this season that chelsea
Wondering if Flecther played more games than SWP this season
. Why should I be jealous of Man U . I guess you are , missing out on Bosingwa
chelsea has too many players now. Bosingwa i think we payed too much for. Good player(can play as DM if needed) most likely but for 16million pounds hmmm…
We need to trim the fat and that means bye bye sidwell and TBH.
Maka will go back to his normal bench warmer position although i think we should get him to maybe teach mikel how to tackle.
Ivanovic is more of a CB who can do RB duties, similar to carragher as he is now. He will be good as a sub. I think personally i would prefer carvalho to go. Great player and consistent but if we sell him we make some money back and we got alex to pick up his slack.
Should be interetsing silly season.
i read an article on another chelsea blog with the following info–
AG has spent 46mill pounds
bought
1.Anelka
2.Ivanovic
3.DiSanto
4.Boswinga
1. 2 goals in half a season
2. where is he?
3. Promise
4. Yet to arrive MASSIVE price tag however
we could have bought messi instead of these 4 and have gotten the better part of the deal
i think we should get a strong striker drogbaesque and the first name i can think of is eto’o
xersesk, the deal is three years
i have to say, although he is rated, i don’t think he will flourish here
boingwa covers both ends of the flank and is active offensively but he is not a solid defender, much like belletti. To truly utilise bosingwa and the way he plays, you’d need a right winger who is more than happy to play all over the pitch like christiano ronaldo, ricardo quaresma, aaron lennon etc. joe cole and swp dont play a game to suit bosingwa, as well as the fact he wont like the brutality of the premier league
a right back who is worth 16.2 mil, is micah richards, he is quick, solid and provides cover at cb when it is needed as well as defensive midfield.
what we do need to remember, is branislav ivanovic is still developing, it will be interesting to see what happens when he is released from the reserves
franco di santo is promising but im not convinced he will be world class
grant is winidng me up again, wrong player to buy
he also attempted to take torres from liverpool, notthe right player for chelsea as good as he is
grant, send bosingwa back, you’re ruining the team
Great signing, I’m sick of seeing Essien in RB, it’s a shame he’s wasted in such a position because the others aren’t doing so well… But perhaps this is not the only portugese we need to sign… A man by the name of DECO might be available as Barca restructure. I hope those in charge will make a move for him!
Krishna, i was talking about myself.. being jealous of the luxury that Chelsea has..
and missing out at the players that we really wanted especially in Robben, Essien, Mikel and now Bosingwa… and seeing how good Essien has become in recent time.
However, in Bosingwa case i’m not really sure. Is he really what Man Utd targetting or is he someone that Man Utd try to nullify Chelsea’s interest in Alves or even Micah..
or is it a sneaky move by Chelsea that left Man Utd empty handed. in last season it shows that Man Utd really secretive over their signings except for Tevez and Hargreaves.
Krisna, ur comparison is invalid. Fletcher is a home grown talent.. not a big name signing.. whereas, SWP is a signing of a staggering £21 million.. and he’s not even on the bench.. that is my argument.. and i do like him as a player..
bluesluv, Eto’o just might be available this summer, but I don’t think he’s too similar a striker to Drogba. Maybe in level of talent, but Eto’o lies a lot deeper and relies more on his feet than his head, as Drogba does. I’d love to see him as a Blue, he’s an electrifying player.
gawd!!! watz up with chelsea every other player that man u wants to sign they want. shouldnt they be finding their own talent…..
Evista breast cancer….
