Very good luck to you dude! You're a very respectable and hugely active member of this forum, and post a helluva lot of good stuff! I voted you as the biggest contributor in the Talk Chelsea awards as well, which says a lot! Once again, very good luck to you!
Inter Milan look like they're going to sign him now. I'm utterly surprised, I would have thought we were going to go all out to try and sign him, but we apparently haven't even bid for him. I think we're trying (first and foremost) to get Hiddink as our manager, and then the search for players will really begin. It's just a shame Inter are more confident than ever they will sign him...
Agreed! Anelka was on fire then! That amazing hat-trick against Milan in the Railways Cup! I hope as well, we have a decent pre-season overall. If I remember rightly, we lost every single one of our European tour matches. We lost to the likes of Ajax, Eintracht Frankfurt and Hamburg, and Ross Turnbull had an absolute nightmare when he played.
Fucking hell, this is just getting ridiculous! Might as well just sign Aguero, and let Neymar go to Barcelona. If their agents or their club want to quote their player with a stupid amount of money then let them. I do however believe that this is not the end of the matter, someone said that £40m is a bargain as far as Abramovich is concerned. Expect this saga to carry on dragging. We still have all summer to come up with something for Neymar.
Totally agree. At the end of the day, when Zhirkov plays, he boasts such excelling pace, and he does try immensely hard, while Malouda, who is some few years older and doesn't give a fuck when he plays.
Sturridge is going to be huge next season. He knows how to find the net. If Hiddink is indeed our next manager, he will be the right sort of person to give him a lot of encouragement, and I hope he can work well with Torres, as Eidur did all those years ago with JFH.
I watched a majority of this last night, it was the most disgusting thing I have ever seen in my life. Seriously, how can this world be infested with scumbags like this, who have nothing better do but let defenseless people suffer at the hands of themselves. It's completely sickening.
This thread explains exactly what I mentioned in the Luka Modric thread a few minutes ago. At least there's someone within the Chelsea faithful that agrees with me.
More to the point, now that Arnesen is at Hamburg, let's hope he doesn't quote VDW as a good signing for them rather than us, like he declared his interest in Josh, and then suddenly Arsenal and United were interested.
Such a pity Mancienne has had to leave. But like Alex said, he's prone to the odd error in defence, so it makes sense if he moves on to experience something different. Good luck Mike!
