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.
After seven successful seasons in the Italian league, Shevchenko arrived at a cost of 30 million pounds and scored less than 15 goals and plus some assists and in his first season at England. He was called a flop. After plying his trade all over Europe including successful stints in England, Anelka came in at a cost of 15 million pounds and has scored 2 goals and some asssts assists in about half a season. Now is he a hit?
Such a bad question especially after Drogba dismissed Arsenal single handedly last weekend. But take a long hard look at the question. Different players making important contributions in different matches is fine. Do we now have those talismanic two or three players who will always bail us out and get us the win?
BBC reports that Avram Grant may not choose Terry and Lampard for the League Cup final on Sunday against Tottenham at Wembley. This sounds strange because there was a widespread belief that they did not play against Olympiakos, only to rest well for this final.
We are just few days away from seeing the return of our players from the African Cup. Add to that some important players becoming available for selection soon. Great times ahead right?
I have a soft corner for pisceans (okay, you guessed my sun sign). But Anelka is most known for his unpiscean qualities. Some even say that the reason why did not become the next Thierry Henry was because of his character and attitude.
If the answer is yes, it would be a shame! I want to start this discussion by looking at what this monster of ACN means for us. The fact is that we are talking about 5 premiership games, that’s it. Three of them are home matches. Here is the list - Tottenham (H), Birmingham (A), [...]
Drogba has been on the headlines for some days now. He is in fine form but that’s no reason to find his name in the tabloid headlines anymore. All that he needs to say is something bordering on remotely controversial or at least something vague or ambiguous. Of late, he’s been pretty clear on what [...]
Which is the right word to use now - ‘panic’ or ‘transition’? I’m sure Roman would have thought of the collateral damage of sacking Jose. In a time where we will be quite happy to cling on to a top 4 finish, Drogba has publicly stated that he wants to leave Chelsea. He just signed [...]
Question for today is: Who would see more of the bench than of the pitch? After spending a difficult season with a limited squad, Chelsea have certainly increased the squad size this season. One common thing about most of these players is that they may not have the relative quality or experience to command a [...]
Our guest writer Blue Winner writes about those burning issues or those truly nagging things that need to be sorted sooner than later, if Chelsea needs to put up a strong challenge to regain the title.
As the Blues depart for the shores of North America for the pre-season tour, there remain a few unanswered questions [...]
I read this interesting piece in Chease Official Website. I thought I should definitely share this with you in case you miss this. Jose Mourinho talks about how Mikel was developed and improved this season. Makes a very interesting read. Enjoy!
There are different concepts of players for that position. If you think about that player [...]
