Well, he didn’t say exactly that. He almost said that. He said, ‘I belong to Jesus’. But, who’s gonna wait for the last word now. I’m sure the journos want some drama, just like it happened with Robinho and Berbatov last summer. Looks like they will see a very eventful summer this time around too. Just when it appeared that Kaka would be unveiled as a Real Madrid player soon and only formalities are left, Chelsea is reported to have made an audacious 73.5 million bid for Kaka.
I don’t know how much truth is there in this. Why would Chelsea need Kaka? We have one of the best midfield players in Europe with a beautiful balance of attacking and defensive players. Even if he joins where would he play? That’s why this sounds like pure fantasy. With Ancelotti at the helm, it makes it easy for the Press to create such rumours, I’ve started seeing those comments like ‘attrocious money’, ‘how can a player be worth so much’, ‘it stinks of greed and stupidity’ so on and so forth.
Practically, people have saved all their comments and remarks that they made during the dramas of Ronaldo-Madrid and Kaka-Man City and are just reproducing them now. I’ve said this before and I’ll say it again – if clubs buy players for tens of millions, so be it. If Roman can afford the player, he will buy. It is the market that decides the price and not the goals and assists. Modern football is much more than just what happens on the pitch. Every transfer activity is good for the economy and redistribution of money.
I want the smaller clubs to start competing for top places and teams. I’m sorry that they are rarely the beneficiary of such big money transfers. But I don’t want Chelsea to do what UEFA is supposed to do. Let Chelsea and other clubs get the players they want to get and let UEFA take care of the regulations. Chelsea is not the first or last club to make a big money purchase. In that respect, we’ll never be able to match the Milans, Madrids, Barcas and Uniteds. So, I hope the over-reactive folks slow down and stop barking at the wrong tree. Everytime a big money transfer is on the cards, you have people abusing the clubs, players, agents and owners. Strangely, they don’t seem to ask these questions to UEFA!
All said, 73.5 million is about 30 million more than what I would pay for Kaka. Scolari wanted Robinho but we couldn’t get him. May be, Ancelotti wants Kaka. We may not want to disappoint our manager again. I’m not sure how Roman saw the Roninho transfer fiasco. I thought Real Madrid acted like third-rate classless bastards to sell Robinho to Man City in the last hour. It surely left a bitter taste in my mouth. If Roman also had felt the same way, this is his chance to give it right back to Real Madrid. It could be the most expensive way to show your middle finger but that’s how it works with billionaires right?
I know straightaway that Kaka is not who we need. Kaka cannot fit into the Chelsea system as it is. We already have players like Lampard and Essien who I won’t swap for Kaka. But still, it would be sensational to see Kaka in Chelsea colours. But you know what, the club website has denied these rumours:
We have never made an offer to AC Milan for Kaka and therefore not one at this extraordinary level. As a consequence we have not discussed a salary with the player either. Any reports to the contrary are totally untrue.
This is way too different than saying that we are not interested in Kaka and no part of the rumour is true. If you look at the above lines, what Chelsea FC says is true. We have not made an offer. Probably, we made only a query. Then the club, unnecessarily, goes on to comment on the magnitude of the amount as well. And totally unnecessarily, the statement also says that we have not discussed the salary with Kaka. Obviously, you can’t do that until Milan accepts the offer, after it is made, that is.
I’m not too anxious about this as I see it so clearly that Kaka would sign for Real Madrid soon. But hey, this could be fun, if Roman wants rub Real Madrid on the wrong side. Let’s see how this one develops

what is all this crap I keep hearing about this kaka rumours…..73m (or whatever ridiculous figure that might be) for this fella…….lol…..forget about it….for christ sake no player in the world is worth that kinda money and kaka is no exception to that…..secondly why on earth would a club like chelsea who have world class midfielders ever be interested in a player like kaka….thirdly assuming chelsea want to spend that amount on him, then how does he fit into the chelsea system….fourthly he is a decent player but nothing special….he can keep playing in that fucked up serie a and keep pleasing himself by scoring against those inferior teams…..the english premier league is a different and a classy league altogether….he will never have that impact in the EPL like the way he has had in the serie a…..
I could well utilise that 74m to buy three (or even four) world class players…
MY MESSAGE TO REAL MADRID:
“Hey losers….u guys can spend that insane amount on this fella and he is yours….But dunt ya wurry…….signing him is not gonna solve your problems (or change ur fate) and you’ll continue to be the club of the fading galacticos which is going nowhere but downwards”
I dont know, i cant refuse the idea to have kaka at chelsea.I know you have just made it clear not to get kaka(I whould love to see kaka alongsid lamps and essien)
I think chelsea should get one or two of the following.
Pato
Ben arfa
zhirkov
Robinho
I m not so sure about Robin but the others are prity good all right(one more bojrn at barca)
good one BC
I hop chelc bring in some knew stars
cheers
Hey who is better David Villa or Kaka??I say they are the same.
Who do we need?? a striker who is a striker?? David Villa!!!
About two months ago Rowan said he whould buy David Villa for 40m.
Out Drogba in Villa.We could do with a player from my aerlier post.
DD will be awarded with a new 3 year deal. Thats the best news of the day.

Replying to David:

I see where you are coming from BC, I mean, these are the kind of statements Chelsea FC were making with the whole ancelotti feud last season
I really don’t see Kaka leaving milan, just like I can’t see Messi leaving Barcelona. I think the statement does say alot, Chelsea has always been very careful with its statements, maybe not so much with selling shirts before we truly get the player.
We won’t know for certain until he comes back from international duty
I’d like us to cast our minds back to arsenal and nasri
reports were saying nasri had signed, but the verdict was not confirmed until the end of the euro games
we talk about the role of Kaka at Chelsea. No, we don’t need him, but he could wind up playing on either wing, as a striker, or my personal idea, that box to box right-centre-mid position that ballack is not quite filling. In kaka, we would have pace, size and a clinical player
if Carlo is going to introduce his past used christmas tree formation, Kaka would be an ideal addition although Im not keen on having him
that being said, the name I was being given was Alexandre Pato, I will also say, although they don’t speak english, either player will have an easier time with a big portuguese and brazillian contingent
but anyway, im sure we’ll know next week
kaka is TOOOOOOOO expensive. get pato and ribery if u wanna put in big money. damn im loving what im seeing hope they just play it smart. they say sturrigde has signed. we should get danny welbeck aswell, and maybe baxter and gosling from everton and let them grow in to pur team.
screw ribery we got MALOUDA: LORD OF THE LEFT WING
I think the whole Kaka fiasco is bs, but if Roman wants to say ‘fuck you’ to Real Madrid and hijack Kaka from them then I will have no objections. Put him up front with Drogba!
Kaka is Sheva number 2, read my lips. When we bought Sheva he was at his peak, Kaka is not even at his peak now at 27.
Kaka is Sheva number 2, read my lips. When we bought Sheva he was at his peak, Kaka is not even at his peak now at 27.
I can see Kaka leaving Milan, he could be tempted by an opportunity to join one of the biggest clubs in the world. He has been in Milan for years and he might want to test himself in another league. Premier League is as attractive as Spanish League for any player. He may think it is time to move on since his beloved manager already left for another club.
I still think Chelsea could sign Kaka. Even if we miss out on him, there are lot of big names on the market that we could have a go for. The likes of Aguero, Villa, Ibra, Ribery and Benzema are the few names that we can attract to Chelsea.
I disagree with you BC on how Kaka would fit into this Chelsea team. I think Kaka will be perfect signing for us since we have Carlo Ancelloti as our next manager. I would play Kaka alongside Lampard in 4-2-3-1 formation.

I think Kaka would fit into any formation since he is one of the greatest. He could play as a attacking midfielder, second striker, playmaker or even in the right like he plays for Brazil.
But it looks like he has already signed for Real.
Eh, I really dont see Chelsea really trying to get Kaka with our stacked midfield and a legitimate offer on the table for Pirlo. I don’t think we should get anybody from Milan except Pato. He will be worth the 45m (he’s 19 people and he’s already a star, Lamps is 31 remember, we’ll get plenty of mileage outta Pato and bring in alot of fans with his pace, flair, and finishing). I have always been a huge fan of Kaka and he is the reason why my 2nd favorite team has to be Milan. He is getting older, 27, and what Madrid is spending on him they will get around 5 years out of him if he stays with his original contract and a small extension. He will do really well at Madrid so I am happy for him. I don’t see what the big hooplah about him not being any good outside of Serie A is about. Leave it at ‘we have one of the best midfields in the world with appropriate guys to fill a variety of roles, the addition of another would seem wasteful due to Chelsea not selling any of them’. Midfield and strikers are completely different. Everyone still loves Ballack (except me, I never wanted him) but how is his goal, assist, and passing stats compared to his Bundesliga days? He is a shadow of the influence he once had but everyone seems to be okay with him staying. Yes he has great technique but the guy runs so slow I think he runs backwards. You can’t teach pace and good decision making. Kaka has these as well as great technique. These transfer over. I also remember Kaka playing quite well against English sides in the CL so I am quite confident that he could play very well in the EPL.
Pirlo is 30 but I don’t see why we are tabling an offer for him with Lamps and Ballack already being older and slower. Essien and Mikel are integral parts of our midfield due to their youth, fitness, and pace. Mikel is only 22 and I want him to start over Ballack 80% of the time. Ballack should be held for defending or in a more central role whereas I think Lamps/Essien should be allowed to bomb forward. Aging midfielders should not be our hallmark even if Pirlo is one of the greats, he just wont pan out like Ballack’s numbers and his declined playing time.
I’m not the biggest fan of Bosingwa, he made most of his apparent credibility under LFS and failed to impress me under Hiddink. He has not been allowed to bomb forward as much and it seems he is overlooked in attack. During the FA Cup I remember him getting at least a 15 yard bubble of space advanced on the right and the midfield decided to go left instead where there was less room. Yes, it was proper to go down the left but when Bosingwa did get the ball on the right, it seemed that he was very, very timid and his decision making was extremely poor. I would prefer a more whole right back, better at defending than him but just as good at attack. Ivanovic is a decent stand-in but he does not have the pace for a right-back if he had to deal with say the combo of Ashley Cole and Malouda! With Carv going, that opens up space for Ivanovic to get more time at his preferred centre-back position. We should get decent money for Carv even though he is 32 I do believe. TSO would love to have him to sure up the Inter defense.
I doubt Roman will just spend as he’s seen that doesn’t always pan out. Villa would be a nice addition as I have enjoyed watching him and Silva (though I just think the orange/white/black uni’s of Valencia look incredible). However, Villa is 27. I would much prefer to buy Pato instead if we can get him. If we can get Villa for no more than 28m I’d snag him, otherwise I’d spend the extra quid on Pato, will be better in the long run and he will pay out dividends now (15 goals this past season and he didnt always start). I hate the rumor of Silva going to Liverpool. Silva is a mind-blowing player and he’s only 23. If we wanted someone to play on the left it should be him (to challenge Malouda) however with Roman’s infatuation with Zhirks, I think we will land him instead of buying Silva out from under Liverpool. Zhirks does have the advantage of being able to play all along the left side whereas Silva plays more of a left winger/left forward position.
Assumably Anelka will go and hopefully we can get some nice bucks for him due to his winning the Golden Boot. I hate to see this because I grew to appreciate his efforts under Hiddink. Sturridge is a great young signing as would be Pato. Sturridge isn’t as proven in the big time as Sturridge but it is great to have a young English striker on the team (England could use someone besides wayne rooney). Hopefully we’ll get to see Di Santo and Sturridge play in one of our first games in the League Cup, that would be interesting!
Ribery would be too much money to secure (upwards of 60m quid) and would seem odd with Malouda signing a new contract and Zhirks coming in. He is a great player and I would love to see him play for us but I would not recommend it unless we off-loaded Malouda (which I don’t want, I always knew Malouda had that fire from the ‘06 WC still in him, just had to get the playing time and the right motivation).
Man City are becoming quite more wise and are buying good stars for not alot of money. 12m for Barry is quite a deal even though I think he is not anywhere near the same level of talent as Lamps and Stevie-me. Wayne Bridge has proven to be quite the bad defender for City so good thing we got what money we did get for him!
The Mutu scandal will hopefully net us some extra cash to use in the xfer window (least this would only come up for arguments as to how much money did chelsea spend this summer).
All I know is Monday would be a Blue Day if we unveiled Pato and Zhirks as signings. Would leave us with only needing to secure a right-back, and some younger signings for the academy/reserves.
My 2 cents about this Kaka matter :
1. Roman’s playing with Real and trying to bump the price up so they get a huge bill
2. Roman is trying to make it sure that Kaka goes to Real so premier league teams like ManUre ( who really need someone to replace Scholes ) and Barca don’t get him
3. Kaka going to Real makes it more probable that Cronaldo goes to Real and thereby making Real the more an unbalanced team focusing only on attack and ManUre weaker
4.Chelsea is trying to draw away attention from it own targets
But if Chelsea bags the Brazilian he could be a huge image boost, sell lots of shirts and pull in millions of more fans and Chelsea would forever ( meaning the next few years ) hog the headlines of sports journals, TV and mags : All of that for around 100 million pounds that could be devoured by the stock market in a trice anytime, anyway.
Kaka looks a better bet than a lot of stocks these days and will have immediate effect on Chelsea’s image; but where we put him in midfield that is the problem !
Oh put him on the bench before we figure out what to do with him !
I don’t want Kaka…we can get at least three young talented players like Sturridge with that sum! And why the hell is Glen linked with us? This is ridiculous!
Personally I don’t like Chelsea buying stars or big name players :
Cos its more like most players become “stars” and get world wide recognition and fame when they join Chelsea !
I think Chelsea after secretly after Tevez, we need a man up front who can cause mayhem !
Tevez , J Cole, Drogs, Malouda, Anelka would be a formidable forward line, and maybe Tevez can play on the wings when needed and he don’t cost that much as Kaka !
The ideal signing for me the next season will be either Tevez, Ribery or Aguero. We should only get ONE and ONE ONLY for nothing more than €40million. And then focus on getting some young blood in the team especially on the LB position which almost killed us this season. But then again, it is really hard for manager (CA) to come to Chelsea and dips into the market based on videos and recommendations from the staff. He has no idea on the previous tactics or the current formation. It will be tough, but hey, since CA is on a top money contract, he should know the expectations.

Diego Forlan is also willing to move to a different club and he won’t come with an expensive tag either but the only thing is the guy is 30 and we need to reduce the ae of our squad and not increase it. Pato im not too keen on to be honest, I don’t think these Italian players can adpat and play the english game without struggling too much, David Villa again is expensive and hitting 28 so if he’s flop then we will lose out big time. I would personally like to see players like Dzeko, Aguero or Benzema at the bridge, young talented, quick and have years ahead of them to improve!!
Replying to David:
why the **** would he be goin out? he is our best player!!!
Replying to Malagantz: lol malouda is a badboy.. I really like what I have seen of him!
Fuck kaka and ribery ,they are fucking Expensive.I hope to hear a good news in the coming days.Roman promises big signings but he fail on the biggest one to Madrid.Why name like Ben Zema/Ben Arfa/Aguro … are not in his mind.
I hope my wish list dont join opposites teams.
Sunny, just while sunny is ranting like the strange character they are, how are we a team of galacticos? I’ll leave sunny with that to think about
drogba here til he probably retires, providing his knees hold out that is
so our span is 3 years to find his replacement or mould the team into the new system we will have to adopt
I guess we won’t see any signings for a week or so, you’d think the leftback spot would have been covered by now
I like the way capello said glen johnson is above wes brown and gary neville, too right, he should be, however, if i compiled a list of top right backs in the premiership, i dont think he’d make it
guys, right now, deco and carvahlo are the only players who seem to be headed out, Ancelotti needs to move as quickly as possible, last thing we want is him leaving it to last minute and the deadline messing things around
hello im a dedicated chelsea fan through wins and losses, but my opinion is..
Out: Ballack-(Not Showed Enough Class), Deco-(He Plays Football Like Hes Shy), Stoch-(No Use To This Big Club), Mineiro-(Not Doesn’t Deserve His Name In Chelsea Fc),
Farreira-(Not Played Enough So No Use), Carvalho-(Gettig Old, Defenders Are Supposed To Be The Club, You Need Class, Pace Which Carvalho Doesn’t Have).
Loan: Mancienne-(Go And Get Some Experice, Has A Future), Anelka-(Adapted Well To The Right Wing, But Will He Show This For Another Club Or True Blue? Test), Kalou-(As Too He Is One To Be But More Experince),Drogba-( He Needs To Learn He’s Not Going To Get A Much Better Team Then Chelsea, If He Wants To Continue Then Sort Out The Attitude Towards Football)
In: Zhirkov-( He Is A Player He Is Willing To Work His Sock’s Off And That Is What Chelsea Need), Pato-(Very Much Class Player Has A Huge Future Ahead Of Him And If He Satys Under Acelotti ‘Who Created The Class He Has’ Hell Be Up There With Mess, Ronaldo As So Too Speak), ‘Also We Should Send A Few Scouts Out To Look For A Young Talented Defender’
Ambramovich Has Money But He Needs To Spend It Wisely Not On The Present Superstars, The Superstars Of The Future, Right Know Chelsea’s Sqaud Are Old But Class, So More Class Youngsters With Extrodinary Talent Such As ‘Pato’ The Better It Also Gives The Current Chelsea Squad A Chance To Show The Young Ones There Experience, And So On, But When They Retire And What Not, They Can Say ‘He Taught Him That, Look At Him Know’ So Thats My Input On This, Only If Chelsea Representatives Read This.

Hey iv just herd bayern munick want to buy bosingwa

bayern munich wont come up with anywhere near the amount we want for bosingwa and besides bosingwa is awesome
replying to chelsea=champions
Carvahlo looked like he could have left last summer after mourinho, and I think, had the coach not of been scolari, alot of players would of left chelsea last season
Carvahlo is 32 I think, so firstly, we would not get 20 million pounds for him, 8 million is more likely
admittedly, carvahlo is one of my favourite players, as dirty as he is at times
but the point to consider is this season, Carvahlo has been injured for alot of the season, and we have done well without him. Alex is proving to add a little bit more than Ricky can and being 26? he has abit of time to grow. I remember BC did an end of season ratings post last season, and I said Alex will be pushing for the first team place with Carvahlo ageing and his goal threat ability, this season, he has shown that
To be honest, it appeared to me Hiddink did not rate Carvahlo much, just like he did not rate kalou nor Quaresma
Also, Hiddink recognises we need an injection of youth, that our academy players are the best way to start. Ivanovic needs more minutes, Mancienne needs more minutes, so if we are going to give them more time, Abramovich is not going to see a point in paying the wages of an old player when we use him less and less
Ricardo Carvahlo also gave an interview to skysports, saying this season has been his worst and he may well leave if offers come in
So all that taken into account, plus the fact Mourinho said he wants Carvahlo, makes me think we may lose him.

ja ja ja … I dont know if anyone can be that dumb. I think we can grab a few outgoing players in Real Madrid. Sneijder sure impressed me in Euro. He was incredible in that tornament. Van Der Vaart and Huntelaar are also on the outgoing list. Huntelaar always tops my wishlist.
I wonder what Arsene wenger is doing in the transfer market. I think that we should bid for Adebayor as longterm replacement for DD. Plays with a similar style, a similar mentality ( read short temper
) and scored some goals in premier league. I see that we still have to put a bid for Zhirkov, i dont understand what CA is thinking. Is Ribery in there?

Blimey…it’s fantasy football in here.
Great article. Obviously the Kaka thing isn’t going to happen – but I hope that the rumours that we’re ready to spend some money are true, the team needs refreshing. Some pace, guile and trickery on the wings is all we really need – take note, Carlo.
As you say in the post, we’ll just have to see what happens. Maybe we can even enjoy it! If anyone’s interested to see what I’ve made of the last week or so, check out my blog on http://www.bridgeviews.co.uk
Hulk looked pretty awesome against Utd in the first leg of the CL quarter final.
Plus he’s called hulk…
ya for sure, if the bid for Villa fails and we cant Benzema for the asking prices, we bag hulk for 15 mil easily.
40 MM for Villa .. With that you can get Benezema, Aguerro or Pato.. Benezema is easier because Lyon is not in Champion League.
We have good showing from the players coming from french league also..
we should be going in for Benzema!!! and try to get back Robben, then Ben Arfa, I dont really mind Ribery, but we are are going in for Zhirkov. I have noticed that Carlo has been quiet since he came in….. must be finishing up his player list. guys remember we signed a german/turkish winger last year.. whats up with him?

replying to denver
i would not mind wesley sneijder at chelsea, in fact, he is more robust than van der vaart so id prefer him
benzema would be a good buy, but im not convinced he is the way foward for us, I think Ballotelli-Barwuah would be what we need
im not in favour of getting robben back, when he was here, he was my favourite chelsea player, he is injury prone and there are better wingers we can obtain and whilst hes been in spain, ive near enough forgotten about him
im going to agree with miguel c on the ancelotti silent treatment, I think Chelsea have put a sticker on his mouth until they feel he can speak english well. On that note, was anybody else shocked to hear carlo speak english on his opening interview? I was saying how skysports must be lying as he couldnt speak a word of english, and he came out with a few sentences.
Just to say, if ronaldo leaves this summer and man utd dont buy a winger of great stature, they will finish third next season. My concern right now, is Liverpool spending money. If Sergio Ramos, Joaquin and David Silva joined Liverpool this summer, I would worry……..alot

Someone must tell Roman to stop waisting his time on Kaka and Ribery .If he want a Dream team,Bring on Aguro/Ben zema/Ben arfa/pato to chelsea .This will make our team younger .Agure will be our lionel messi.Ben zema have a potential to become something better than Henry.
If he come to chelsea ,i will bet you he will score 25 goal in EPL on first season.About Ben arfa,just look at Liverpool-Marseile this season.He was awsome.
You could never get Benezema, Aguerro or Pato for 40m.
They re worth 60m.For some reason I really dont want Benzema.I dont know why?

Hey guys, I stumbled upon this article on Super Frankie in the Daily Mail, have a read, really nice:
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-1191150/JEFF-POWELL-Why-dont-fans-hail-genius-Frank-Lampard.html
KTBFFH!
Also to say, I agree with CFCIR
we don’t have to worry about pressure to produce stars from our academy,
and we should not be paying silly money for players, no matter who they are
Roman is a business man and should be weighing up instant impact and potential ability when he allows new players to be brought
so yes, I think we should forget about ribery, we might get him on a free transfer if bayern keep up that attitude, we dont need kaka
let us take those youngsters who are making heads turn and bring them to London so they can become worldwide revered men
Drogba was no-one in Marseille, Mourinho said to him you are good, but if you want the fear of the world, come to my club, he did that, we achieved that. Frank Lampard was a West Ham cast off and is now easily the best central midfielder in the world
on the newspaper article
has anyone seen the goal movies, there is a part where the guy is being taught the ball can travel faster than he can
Frank knows this and puts it into practice, Gerrard doesn’t always remember it. Yes Gerrard scored more goals in the premiership, but he doesn’t score like Frank, and Frank adds more passes and assists to his stats
I watched the fa cup with a man utd fan and a birmingham fan, one saying frank is terrible, one saying he should be more like gerrard, I argued he is a different player, you cannot compare the two positionally, but in terms of stats, frank is always going to be better, then frank scored that left footed hammer from outside the box
they were speechless

Replying to Lampard and the Blues.: That really is an amazing article, really does show why Super Frank is a football genious and yet it annoys me like hell to see him being treated like a nobody, still credit to Frankie he keeps his head down and does his talkin on the pitch, unlike “STEVIE ME” he puts his club first and plays with the passion and intellegence far above the inferior mind!!
Replying to Michael Bush: This guy is straight up tarded!! PERIOD
True denver man, we gonna need a pacy young winger and a striker who has finishing but not overhyped.
Hatem Ben Arfa seems my favourite top transfer target.I thought we were after him during the January transfer.Damn it, if we loose out on him.We can get him cheap and then uncover his immense talent.
Pato to the Bridge would be a dream come true.(Remember he’s only player in all fifa’s with the highest growth rate(up to99)).
Attractive player and also a clinical and a serious threat at goal.I imagine he and Di santo upfront for chelsea in next 2/3 years.It would be
a formidable patnership.An argentine and a brazillian upfront wonderful.
Zhirkov(Well, for now I don’t know where he would play whether at LBor LWB).Wherever, he’s a great potential and would add more flair to our attack.
Guys any news on what Ancelotti wanna turn our youngsters to?Someone like Nouble has the physique and venomous finishing and I think he should be loaned to Wolves(lets send some of our promising talents there).
Kaka(Hell no)! and Ribery(Hell no)! when are we gonna make our own players to sell for 30+millions.Hope Ancelloti does it for the team.
Guys your thoughts on Edin Dzeko of Wolfsburg in place of Anelka.Bloody threat, young and has more time to improve.He’s not known and we can just bagg him for a less than 15m.Get him chelsea and forget Villa.Gotta let anelka go and keep drogs.
Your thoughts guys on Dzeko.
Replying to Splintercell: man i like your thoughts!!! thats the direction im looking in aswell…. grow our own!!
first of all Edin Dzeko I dont know him well, but from what i saw he seems to be a killer infront of goal, not too popular just the way i like it…. because im not a big fan of buying stars…. look at the sheva situation. the only one I would push for would be Benzema, cause he is young.. but not villa he is a bit old, we wont get enough milage out of him. personally I would bank heavily on Di Santo!!! we need depth …right.. so get back Rajkovic. if Ribery can play on the right i would chance going for him…. but otherwise….. I would prefer us to integrate our home grown talent in the mix.. but if we look to buy dont go for the kaka, messi, Villas. get the Ben Arfa, Stephen Sessesgon, VDV. do you know the guy named Afally?? Ibrahim Afellay…He usually plays as the centre attacking midfielder for PSV but can also play at the right or left side due to his creative qualities. we MUST use our links with PSV to get him.. this is not the first im saying this….. now a guy like this … is know but not a star!!. we could also get back Robben as it seems his playing time will be short at R. Madrid next season.
just my thoughts…. let me know what you think
Replying to Splintercell: also do you remember Rakitic!!!!!! that guy is good.. that is the direction im looking in.. guy good guys that are not quite big stars yet. these guys are young….they are not expensive!! they have talent.. thus more depth. and in light of our financial situation it would be great for us!!! please ROMAN read this.. and go build the dream them…. guys we dont have to spend 100 million….!! as you all can see from what im proposing!!
thoughts…….
chelsea should buy sneidjer
Well said Denver. Ancelloti should build a team out of which another team can be made just like Man Utd.Chelsea needs a quality Team A and a team B ready to fill in any time. I pray Ancelloti would have the mentality of building a new solid team out of our youth.And as such with his links to AC Milan, we can loan some of our youngsters the other way. Guus was right and spotted the talent in Di santo thus giving him playing time many times.Chelsea signs wonderkids only to turn them into mediocre players(hurts me so much).Why can’t chelsea loan out its youngsters to EPL teams.At the stage Sinclair is, he wants to fight for a first team place and you can see his eagerness but people would say he’s not ready.Its not right to give up on people just like that.Ashley Young now a prime target for many teams was a nothing made a something.Just have a look at Kakuta(our french sensation), many would say he’s not ready but look at Bojan, no one said he wasn’t ready for first team action despite the great team Barcelona had.Olympiakos offered Kakuta a two year loan deal only for Chelsea to reject.Bad, he could have started all matches and also he would have become a genius in the course of 2 years then by then we can just integrate him into the team.
Chelsea want to sign a world class meaning a minus from our account why not make ones our own selves.Tejera, Woods,Bruma sensational CB,Frank Nouble then Borini etc.All world class talents but just see what chelsea does to them send them on loan to Championship and then sell them.A team like Chelsea should appreciate what they have instead of bringing in people’s.
Anyway Denver, Afellay is another wonderkid, saw him in euro 08.Very good but, with Kakuta’s age, I see him to be best.For midfield, lets make geniuses out of our own youth.
Rakitic is a crazy midfielder that I really love so much would be the ideal target for us instead of pirlo or kaka who would soon age.Getting Robben back would be a blessing lets get him back, gonna get him cheaper than Ribery. Denver your thoughts.
Replying to Splintercell: good man i didnt even remember about those youngsters, Borini, kakuta…… and company, but as you said and we have seem over the years, we(chelsea prefer) to buy and not really grown, we look for established players… its bad habbit that will take a while to get out of our systems, we need Frank Arrssen (chief scout) to work, look at the academy and make recommendations. sinclair .. im so sorry for the guy. i can never understand it myself…. Bojan … so gifted…..would not have been given the chance at chelsea. but let us hope for a change, in that a manager comes along and wants the youth to make a break through. by the way it was Scolari who gave Di Santo most of his runs in the team. remember we bought Di santo around the same time we missed out on Pato-the duck (because if frank arrssen), but Di Santo was just as good. i was shocked to see Di Santo parked in the reserves!! we really need to stop it. as Hiddink said stability is key. I pray to God Carlo looks around at the players he already has…. and makes the right plays… we just have to watch now and see what happens……
Speaking on the devil (Frank Arnessen)…I find it unbelievable that Chelsea had so many scouts earning so much for so many time (3,4 years?) and didnt came up with a decent young prospect…one has to wonder:What the hell are they doing?Besides grabbing Abramovich money I mean…
Why Ancelotti wants Pirlo,when he can buy better players with that money .Ancelotti plans for chelsea is unknown for me.

http://soccerlens.com/from-ukraine-with-blues-why-shevchenko-should-remain-at-chelsea/30078/
Forget about Aguero, Villa or Dzeko. We already have our #7 and if Pirlo does come in, I’m sure he will achieve what he has never been given the chance to at Chelsea. Just take a look at his goal against Croatia last night. We seem to have overlooked the fact that although Sheva has not scored many for CFC, he did score some important ones (Rosenborg, Porto, Valencia). I’d say we keep him and maintain a quartet of Drogs, Anelka, Sheva and Di Santo.
Replying to denver(denverblue): Dude Im loving the ideas you guys are coming up with, CFC needs some young exciting players (not too popular or expensive) and mould them into the likes of Drogba’s & Lampard’s. BTW Sergio Aguero has said he is honoured to be linked with Chelsea!! The guy is only 21 and has years ahead of him to improve and being a killer infront of goal I personally beleive he can be our Torres in the next 1/2 years. Ashley Young is another person I would personally like to go for, proven in EPL and only 23 and we all know he has killer pace and beautiful crosses. Also VDV or Sneijder will add quality to our midfeild and Zhrikov on the wing or left back can add options and give us a new dimension of play. Personally, Deco, Belletti, Carvalho, Ferreira, Pizarro should be sold and VDV/Sneijder, Zhirkov, Ahsley Young, Aguero should be bought!!

It is my dream to see Agureo at Chelsea,But i think it wont become real. 16M for glen johnsen is unknown for me when we Bosingwa/Ivanovic/Manciene at that position.The season is not started but my doubts about Carlo are getting bigger and bigger.

You are expecting too much money for the players. Only Carvalho can get probably that amount of money…
other clubs don’t suffer such harsh headlines as we do (even though what he says is true)

That’s ridiculous, a week ago it was 20m for Pirlo now it’s 30m? Robinho was 32m and even that was too expensive, where does all this fabrication come from? The media just loves to make up bs and throw around unreasonable prices. If Chelsea were to sign Pirlo to an already stacked midfield and pay 30m for him, I’ll take a long walk off of a short cliff.

too much money..for whom?
Sheva?-he shows some glimpses of old sheva these days with ukraine..6m is not too much for him..as he got enormous fan base..
Pizza?-u can say 50m for kun who scores 20 goals a season..then why cant get 10 m for pizza..(okay he is old..,thats y 40 m less)
deco?
in italy the game is slow and will suit him…..8m is not too much for some one of decos class..even at this age..
Paolo? I dont think 4m is too much for a good right back,who can play on the left decently…

i dont care abt neone else but yes it is my dream to see aguero in a chelsea shirt and tht 2 wearing #7
he says hes flattered and i think he wud join us if we show real interest
Replying to chelsea=champions: owh c’mon man.. this has been centuries.. but anyway.. welcome to the club ! ktbffh !
why do i feel that our board is so incapable of convincing players? All the deals seem to be breaking down and we may have to be content with left outs.
If we want to play an attacking football next season we are going to need a hell lot of players. At left wing we have A. Cole and malouda, but then we would require atleast a backup for them. To the right we have Joey and Bosingwa, and there we need a backup (Tejera maybe? our youth sensation?) as well. we have lot of central defenders Lampard, Ballack, Essien, Mikel, thats a back up for each, nobody required there for this season. For CAM we need a dribbling capable player and a play maker, its completely void since years. Some may say Lampsy and Joey may fit in there, but i would want more than what they can offer. At the striker we have DD and Anelka and Di Santo as backup, we need noone there right now. Center Back is perfect, Terry, Ivanovic and Alex covering up perfectly. But since Carvalho is leaving we need one more CB. At RB and LB we have A. Cole and Bosingwa, but need atleast one suitable back up for them. Ferreira isn´t the greatest option. I feel Mancienne should get more gameplay. And if Cech continues that horrible form like this season, we may need to look for GK as well. There was one shot on target for Barca, and it went past through Cech. Actually nearly all shots on targets have gone through Cech this season, so i´m really worried at GK.
So to conclude we need 5 players, A RWM, LWM, CAM, LB and a GK (suitable back up for Cech).
Quoting Zaneeb

Even I would be thrilled to get that amount of money, but remember there is no even an inquiry for Sheva and Pizzario. We signed Pizzario for free and if someone picks him up, we would benefit because we don’t have to pay his wage. The last report I heard was chelsea was going to pay up Sheva salary so that he can be a free agent. Paulo is coming from an injury and Mourinho wants deco for free . Juve has got Diego and only team that needs deco other than Inter is Atletico Madrid. Even if we get 5 MM, I will be happy to let him go because we don’t have to pay 120,000 pounds a week..
Looks our first sale of the season..
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-1191484/Espanyol-line-800-000-favour-Chelsea-striker-Sahar.html
Atleast like Man U , we should sign contracts with the first option to buy back…
we dont need kaka, i just want sturridge, dzagoev and turnbull. Total money spent probably around 12 million total made back by selling deco, belletti, ferriera and pizarro.
That allows chelsea to have the same first team with back up players made up of youth level and some old war horses.
main players would be
GK: Cech>turnbull>rhys
RB:Bosingwa>ivanovic>mancienne
CB:Terry>carvalho>alex>ivanovic>mancienne
LB:A.cole>bertrand
DM:Essien>mikel>ballack>cork
AM:Lampard>dzagoev
RW:J.cole>kalou>stoch
LW:Malouda>kalou>sturridge
ST: Drogba>anelka>di santo
many of those players can play in other positions but im just listing where they normally play.
Second team would essentially be
———————turnbull
ivanovic—–mancienne—–alex—–bertrand
—————–cork——-mikel—————
stoch————–dzagoev————sturridge
——————-di santo————————-
The second string side is good enough for mid table teams and definitely good enough for early league cup and fa cup. the backline is strong with only bertrand the question mark. Chelsea doesnt need to spend big to make up a a quality team. I think a better option would be to take it slow. Get the players that fit into our system witbout disrupting the squad. The squad would also have a very good mix of foreign talent and england players.

this is why carlo got the job… not u
Replying to Jaz:
I respect that formation, but since we are going to play 4-3-3 next season, try to find out options that suits this formation. 4-3-3 that can turn 3-4-3 against weaker/most of the teams and 2-6-3 in emergency. We need real wingers, dribblers and playmakers.
please sell kalou, ashley cole, mikel and deco
buy zhirkov, di maria, sessengnon and pato
Quoting chelsea=champions
Buying zhirkov/ben arfa/given and spending outrageous transfer fees and wages just so that the bench is getting warmed up by more talented people is the most retarded thing ever. What was the point in posting that?
Crap formation for our team as well
Who’s Bojrn?
A 4-3-3 Formation or 4-4-2 will both suit Chelsea perfectly the only reason we are doin well with 4-3-3 atm is only because we don’t have natural wingers able to open defenses and with J.Cole out we have pushed Anelka in his position. When Joey does return I dont know if Carlo will still adopt the 4-3-3 but none the less we can play both 4-4-2 as shown in my earlier post and a 4-3-3 formation will most likely look something like this:

I this we don’t really many new guys around, the squad is getting old but it’s quite good now.
I think giving more time to the 2nd keeper will be better for Cech’s performances.
Stoch had made a good game in his international cap, he also deserved to play sometimes.
Stoch has what we need: the speed in the front.
I never really believe Aguero will join the blues but i hope he joins us but not for too costly price.(<40mln euro)
Also we need one good free kick taker, VDV or Sneider may be.
Zhirkov guy is a must. I believe he’s better than Arshavin.

Guys, I feel Chelsea should buy Ribery even if he would cost us 70 million euros. This guy has a high work ethic, and the way he prepares ball for the team mates is sensational. He could light up our midfield and make the whole gameplay lively. He´s worth that sum. what do you think guys?

I feel Kaka is a over-hyped player just like Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi. They are great against weaker teams, but when it comes to real opponents they fade off.
and they are much like “I am the only Man” type of players. Ribery is like Drogba. They go front, they score and even make others score.

sorry for duplicate comment.first team that has to worry is barca. second, by the time we face them in champions league, lot of things can happens . when you buy a person with such a high price tag, there is a huge risk also involved. he is injury prone in the last two years..
Whaddya mean mean we already lost the CL !?%$^&* That is utter shite drivel !
There is only only one team in the world theat the so-called “best team in the world can’t beat / haven’t beaten and that is Chelsea !
We must see if Real’s Perez’s “intent” translates that easily into reality ! One egg / Kaka does not make an omellette !
Oh for goodness sake CRonaldo and Ibra togther with Kaka still do not make an omelette cos Real’s back line and midfiled need a major overhauling too !
Anyways I still wanna meet Real next year and put them to the sword !
SCARED OF MADRID LOL. Im glad they got KAKA, because I would of been kickin myself in the head if we paid something like £58M for him. I mean KAKA is a great player but not worth £58M and even if we bought him where were we gonna fit him?? Let Madrid get Ronaldo, Ribbery, Villa, Silva, Ibra and whoever they want, hell let them bring back Zizu, Maradonna, Pele, they still wont beat CHELSEA – PERIOD. We dont need to splash out £150M to buid a team like they do, we just need to invest £30 with the sale of some players and bring in just 2/3 players at most. Chelsea already are a strong team, a team that even the likes of Barca could not break with thier best attacking trio in the world. All Chelsea needs is 2 Attacking Wingers on either side and a Clinical Striker and we will rape the likes of Madrid, Barca, UTD, Liverpool.

I been saying all along..there are only two players who would be worth breaking the bank for, and Ribery is the first I would think of and I would even think of ibra. but to me ribery is the best player out there. to brand kaka the god?…plzz he is really good really is. but have anyone seen ribery? he is easly the best player in the french nationalteam with all their superstars. and what he means for Bayern M. u all know.
so I dont know if we are willing to play that much for him but as I said again he is the only player I prefer RA digs deep into his pocket to get us. wit that said, hopefully we can get pato a good winger.

why are you playing Dzeagov so deep.. you would kill him like that .. he is a striker… leave him be.

Replying to kuhulai:
Excatly Kuhulai,
I would pay the whole world if i could bring Ribery to Chelsea this summer. RA should definitely spend money on him. Get him at all costs. Everytime i see this guy play, my emotions run high. He plays with so much passion, always thinking whats left and right, finding gaps, passes, and goals, he is a great great player. Kaka and Ronaldo only have pace, dribbling and shooting ability, but Ribery is in addition to that a great team player. This guy has all the Chelsea quality. Roman steal him from Munich. he belongs to Chelsea. We need a miracle in midfield and he can offer that. If this guy comes to Chelsea there can be noone who can stop us, coz we can then play in all possible formations. Everything will suit chelsea, coz we´d have players of all qualities.
and we definitely need a good GK. Look cudicini left and peter has noone to compete with. he´s getting lazy day by day. and don´t want player of his quality being degraded to reserves and later being sold.

Woah…
Replying to denver(denverblue): Denver bro its frustrating me like hell atm that our board cant get players of top drawer and every player we have been linked with is getting snatched up by Madrid. I mean its okay with me if they buy Kaka, Ronaldo, Silva, Villa, Ibra and to some point even Ribbery, but at the same time I think Ribbery is that one player we would all love to see at the bridge because we all know he’s class!! But unfortunetly Ribbery himself claims he does not want to move to england because he hates our weather, so most likely Barca or Madrid will get him (Madrid most likely due to Zizu) and that leaves only Benzema and Pato as the other big name transfers in the market if they opt to move. Benzema again most likely will move to Barca, I dont think he would move to Chelsea, so Pato is probably the only name we can hope to sign, although players like Sneijder, VDV might become available and I wouldn’t mind seeing Sneijder in a Chelsea shirt. What about you guys can u think of any other players besides Ben Arfa, Zhirkov, Dzaegov that could be a hit at the bridge??
Replying to Jaz: right you are about the Ribery! see ur point about Benzema but only if barca sell Etoo to lyon… mailan say they wont sell anyone else… but the good thing is that pato says he wants to talk to Carlo first.
you know i would love to see Snjider in a chelsea shirt.. but i dont think he wants us. thats why i was suggesting we go for Affelly with the PSV link in mind. just seems we are stuck between a rock and a hard place. whats with the Marko kid from Twente?? are still after him?? it seems Inter want him too… but i heard he injured his foot…. and that stalled the move.. but i would still buy him!!
also Jaz in regards to your formation…. i like it but we would have to sell a striker… we cant have 4 top line strikers…. it would have to be 3 plus Di Santo
plus who every we bring has to have heart!! will to fight for his team members.. thats the difference at chelsea

Maicon’s agent is pushing him to us….. why??
http://www.channel4.com/sport/football_italia/jun9x.html

Perhaps Salomon should move on as well. I do like keeping him as an option as his track record isn’t bad on paper. But that’s just it, on paper is not enough for Chelsea if the numbers aren’t staggering. Maybe he should be released as well to make room for some youth squad members to make a push. Stoch is absolutely brilliant for me and Di Santo may be a ready replacement for Drogba once he hits the twilight years of his career, which are to come soon I assume… he is 31!

Replying to IwasMissingJose:
I think Glen Johnson is a right back.
I’m in opinion that Chelsea should be at most signing not more than 3 players this season. I’m very keen on Aguero as I think he can give us another dimension in our offense. And if are to spend big, then I’m happy we spend it on someone who’s younger (like below 25). I cannot see Chelsea selling anyone except Kalou as he is a good player but I don’t regard him as a key player. And with Joey coming back, I think he will not be contempt to stay as bench warmer and the next thing we will read is Kalou seeking a move comes January. I hate that.
I’m very concern with our GK position, since Carlo left, we have been taking things for granted to the fact that Cech is always available. I’m still gutted why Carlo left from CFC’s bench to another for nothing. Let’s be honest Cech is very young for his talent and not many other youngster are willing to sit in waiting for Cech to grow old. Our setup is best suit a veteran keeper who may not be great but sufficient to handle teams like Fulham or Wigan. That’s just my thoughts. KTBFFH!!!! C’mon Kun…. be BLUE!!!
Replying to CJ – 17th year CFC Extremely Anxious Fan:
any suggestions for LB mate?
And if all the other players have to fight for their position, why not GK? it would bring the best out of Cech.
Why are we not even moving for Zhirkov. Are we waiting to know the outcome of Ribery ?

Quoting churchill
he was clear. even when he came to chelsea, he said it was to top off his pension. All he needs is a couple of years of hardwork and then settle back in gremio, brazil..
Hiddink rules..

BTW, Ribery not for sale..

Yoann Gourcuff, this kid is special. I know he just signed a four year deal, but I would love to have him play for us.
kun aguero is a wonderkid, if he comes that would be awesome.
Beside all the talent Ribery have what is really amazing wit him is despite being small he is really strong. he would fit in the EPL perfectly.
My wish list for new signings: Ribery, Zhirkov, Gourcuff (I know he wont come), pato or aguero even benzema and (backup for Ashley).
If we end up witout a striker that wouldnt be the end of the world cause whe have an inform anelka Di santo, DD. AND we have to keep malouda.
It would be madness of milan to sell pato now that Kaka seem to have left the building so I guess that leaves us wit Atleticos striker. benzema seem to be more keen to move to manu if he leaves lyon, but they wont play any CL next season right??
Pirlo is a hella of playmaker but he is yesterdays news. We need players who pussess quality, mentel touchness and the right swagger. we dont, I repeat we dont need quantity!!!
/of topic
‘Skip to My Lou’ hade a nice game against the lakeshow! come on Magic!!!!
http://www.setanta.com/uk/Articles/Football/2009/06/10/Serie-APrem-Maicon-on-leaving-Inter/gnid-56491/
can we trade Jose B for this powerfull player??
Replying to IwasMissingJose: Rajkovic (our own player out on loan) or Zhirkov gives more options as well.
Replying to 132 | IwasMissingJose
If its a RB its Maicon.
If its a LB is p Lham.
I disagree with lots of you,Peter Cech is a world class kepper not for 20m!!!
But we do need a new sub kepper, maybe Rob Green. But my no1 would be given.
REALLY lookin for ward to new sighnings
I don’t want any new signings except maybe Villa or Young (not sure how that will work)
Kun Ageuro to CHELEA ? My dream is becoming True
Replying to denver(denverblue):
Is Rajkovic ready to play for first team? I´m not sure. Well for his height and talent he´s a great player. But does he have that maturity? I´ll let Carlo decide that.
Replying to chelsea=champions:
Lahm is a great option at LB. But his height may be bit inapproriate for PL…
Replying to IwasMissingJose: the man is good (rajkovic… played and help Twente a lot) why the hell didi BC put up that damn thing about “I belong to chelsea”…… the Kaka thing…. BC is a jumpy guy…. as he hears something in the papers he runs with it…. he look stupid now.. cause kaka is at Madrid and he is stuck with that shit on our blog!!….. would of advice BC next time wait untill the deal is done and dusted so u wont have egg on ur face…….. just like what chelsea did with Robhino!!!
it would be stupid to chase P Lham!! he would be too expensive.. plus he is a started… it would just mess up the team balance….
guys please make realistic suggestions… you only look stupid by suggesting them. you have to remember we are not trying to spend 100 million… we want to save what you guys are suggesting would be the opposite…. even if Roman steps in it would have to be value for money!! like a KUN, Ribery, Benzema, Villa…..PATO……. ok sir
JAZ please talk to these guys!
back up keeper I i like Joe hart!! plus he is English.
Joe Hart as a back up?
I hear reports about us wanting all these starlets in our team from Aguero to Villa to Ribery. To be honest, it would be no doubt great to have these people in the team but we are team who, with the guidance of Guus, came so close to the CL (damn that referee), won the FA Cup and we wouldve come close to the EPL if he was here a bit earlier. Given all this, do you guys really think we need many players ? Reports also suggest that Ben Sahar is off to Espanyol because he did not get a chance with us. That seems sad, I think what we really need is just ONE striker (I’d settle for Benzema or Aguero for sure) and a 2nd choice for Petr Cech as slight competition (Ross Turnbull?) but we have enough support on the wings (Malouda, Joey, Stoch, Sinclair, even Kalou).
So, in my opinion, I think this should be our actions in the transfer market more or less:
Sell:
*P. Ferreira
*Belletti
*Carvalho (he’s really amazing but I think Alex and Ivanovic and even Mancienne can cover)
*Deco
Buy:
*Aguero /Benzema
*Ross Turnbull
*Yuri Zhirkov (hes good, but now hes showing alot of attitude saying that he would choose Barcelona as his first-choice and wouldnt come just to ‘warm the bench’)
KTBFFH !
Replying to Lampard and the Blues.: the guy is getting annoyed because kenyon and his bunch are fucking up the move!! i wont no one from a relegated team… they dont have any heart!!! no fighting spirit
Benzema to me is more build for the EPL!! why we are not going for him……. i dont know
Benzema would rather prefer to join UTD, he’s abit arrogant and only wants to join the Champions, I woudn’t be surprised if he turned down Chelsea for UTD or Barca, well my answer to that is up urs mate!! I agree with one fact, our board members seem to be sleeping in the transfer market atm wile the best players are gettin snatched up left, right and centre and if it continues this way then we will most likely end up spending £20 on the likes of PIRLO (a disaster waiting to happen). Aguero would be ideal for Chelsea but I hear he wants something like £160K a week otherwise he wont move to Chelsea, well since our annual wages for last year was a staggering £172M I say we need to stop puttin up with the demands of these greedy players and look forward to cut down on the wage bill to something in the region of £130M and give our youngsters a shot at it. Carlo knows how to work with both young and old players and even if we finish 3rd next season it would not bother me as long as he introduces youngsters into the first team balancing out the wage books so that in the coming years we can go self-sufficient and then we can splash as much money as we want, because at the moment spending £100M million on players with jaw dropping salaries will further destroy the reputation and the infrastructure of Chelsea. Therefore I would rather suggest we sell, Deco, Kalou, Belletti, Carvalho, Ferreira, which can fetch in the region of £30M with Kalou being tagged around £13M and use that money to buy Zhirkov, Dzaegov and maybe with a little bit of investment from Roman to buy a emerging striker rather than splashing £50M’s on the Pato’s, Villa’s, Benzema’s & Aguero’s!!
You know wid chelsea there is this funny situation
I have always seen that real madrid is the kinda club that goes and get what they exactly want….not that I am trying to compare the popularity of real madrid to chelsea or sumthing….they definitely have a great history as compared to chelsea, and on the other hand chelsea is a club which has risen into prominence only in recent times….but what irks me a little bit that the urgency that chelsea generally show when it comes to future signings. There are only a bunch of great players out there and they need to be poached before sumbody else gets them and this where chelsea need to beef up a lil bit……with madrid they always have great scouting network who recognises talent so quickly and they just get their man before anybody else realises it. ….and our very own frank arnesen does what only he knows….. i mean what the heck is he paid for……or is it that he does not have an eye for detail…or else he is not good at what he does…..
I would love to know that who negotiates transfers for chelsea in reality…..is is arnesen or is it kenyon……either of the two in my opinion just dunt have what it takes to calmly diplomatically and cleverly negotiate transfers and eventually get us our target….
Chelsea needs to discard these two fellas and maybe replace them wid more enterprising men….
Chelsea in talks today with Pato! *fingers crossed*
Replying to GamingTheSystem: crossed!!!!
I dont think Pato will leave.If you where the manager of AC Milan would you sell Pato AND Kaka???
I dont think so.BUT AGUERO…..
I saw both A. Young and Zhirkov play today. they didnt impress me. specially young. compared to flo (malouda) he aint shit, at least not now. he got age on his side though.
lampsy scored again which is always nice.
thoe walcat bigtime overated, beside pace there aint much to his arsssenal
Glen Johnson was really good though hmm maybe he would like to redeem himself at chelsea. I would welcome him
/cheers
