Would it be wise to put in a bid for him now, since we seem to be more prepared to offer bigger wages than United?? :unsure:

you beat me to it!!

Essien keeps getting the same injuries and keeps being out for a lengthy period of time, so from that alone, if he keeps it up, he could have no choice but to hang up his boots. Marc Overmars had a similar case I seem to remember

I really rate this guy actually! But we have Ramires and Mikel who play just as well, so we don't need him!

Wait..... that has to be the most retarded proposal to sign a player we've ever thought of! We've never loaned a player during the summer transfer period while Abramovich has been our owner. A 30-year-old on loan to replace Essien. We can't be that desperate to sign players!!

Is it on at the moment then, because I'm getting confused with the times! Otherwise it could be on much later over here, lika 12am or something??

Chile against Peru I believe is about to start, or "has" started! Are there any streams knocking about??

Does he play on the right side??

Pedro has signed a new deal at Barca, so he won't be leaving them

Time to close this thread I think!

Rajkovic is playing for us??? So does this mean he has a visa to play for us now?? That's the reason why he's spent the last few seasons on loan in Holland!!

De Rossi is not a bit-part player, that's why I turn my nose up at the idea of him joining. Ramires and Mikel already do a fine job replacing Essien. Ramires has the speed, Mikel has the strength.

I'm a bit late for this, but I would have voted for Kostas! Great contributor and great guy as well! Nicely deserved!

I honestly don't believe this to be a good signing for us. For all it's worth, if Boas is looking to add flair to our squad, then Modric (should he join) and De Rossi wouldn't be able to fit into the same midfield. Hell Modric would be pushing out Mikel in our current squad, and Mikel is 24!

Chelsea consider De Rossi Chelsea manager Andre Villas-Boas is reportedly looking to Roma star Daniele De Rossi this summer. The midfielder’s future at his hometown club is by no means secure, as his contract expires in June 2012. So far there have been problems in negotiating a renewal, so the Giallorossi might have to sell in order to avoid losing him on a free transfer. According to the Gazzetta dello Sport, Chelsea and their new manager Villas-Boas are lining up a bid to take advantage of the situation. De Rossi would be the ideal replacement for Michael Essien, who has picked up a serious injury that will keep him out for at least six months. The 2006 World Cup winner had already been linked with Chelsea under Carlo Ancelotti’s tenure. ----------------------------- Source:- Football Italia -----------------------------

We're trying to reduce the age in our squad not increase it!! Just imagine replacing Alex with this guy... hmmm!

When Robben left Chelsea, he went for £26 million!

welcome to the forums dude!

Honestly, I'd choose anyone over Theo "I'm overrated and I'm actually shit on the wing, but at least I can run fast as a headless chicken" Walcott

If these rumors are true, then I'm sad to see him go. I just think of the exit to United at Old Trafford in the Champions League and think of how much he gave in that game. Always gave us 100% I suppose either Pepe or Scott Dann would be his ideal replacement!

I'm adamently sure that doesn't look anything like the Inter away kit I saw a few months ago in this thread :unsure:

My favourite player, injured yet again!! What a shame Now the signing of Modric has gone from important, to fucking imperative!

:lol:

I feel huely re-vitalised after drinking a homemade strawberry milkshake!! I think I just died and went to heaven!!
