After the success that we had this season, I was looking forward to seeing the likes of Drogba, Essien, Ballack and Obi Mikel put in match-winning performances for their respective countries. But if you think about it, its not only the Chelsea lot that is ''jinxed'' by this injury curse as the likes of Robben, Ferdinand, Beckham, Adler are all set to miss out too. Here's hoping the World Cup is still a success ! KTBFFH !

I have noticed that the end of the season period has brought in some interesting transfer ideologies and policies that many of you feel the club should adhere to in order to build on the success of our Double-winning season ! I've got to agree with Churchill though, the most we're going to get out of the transfer market is maybe one 20+ million pound signing with 2 or 3 smaller, less financially significant ones. Essien seems to have put an end to the rumours that we might get rid of him because of his worrisome injury dilemma by signing a two-year extension and that is great news ! I guess that ends the rumour of Yaya Toure to Chelsea for good. Ancelotti has likened Anelka to Marco Van Basten and in any Universe that would mean he respects him deeply and wants to work with him atleast for another season or two ! As far as the acquisition of new players is concerned, we do not have to look beyond our Academy and Reserve squad. I think they can come good in the coming season as they have the quality to gel together and can be used against mid-table teams in the Premier League such as Blackburn, Newcastle, Sunderland, Wolves, Liverpool [ahahahah] and the like to give the big guns a rest for the main games such as those in the Champions League.
