Elliott

Had we gone for Defoe when he left the Hammers, I think he may have turned into a good player for us, but he's failed to reach his potential now and I don't think he will ever reach it.

Welcome back Hopefully we will be able to retrieve all the data from CFC-Fans which means hopefully that we'll have the Prediction League data back.

Well apparently it is a horrific insult to us or something

I think Esk a nation is allowed 2 or 3 senior players in their olympic squad.It annoys me how it says Drogba is signalling the end of his Chelsea career by this move. Stupid sensationalism. That said, it is a blow.

I don't see him being with us next season really.

Welcome

I think you're completely wrong. John will do anything to represent his country, and he'll do his best to ignore an injury if need be. He's passionate, and passionate people don't always talk sense.

Welcome back Using TalkChelsea again seemed like the natural thing to do seeing as so many of us were TalkChelseans

I've got to be honest, it's been a while since John Terry has put in the kind of superb performances with England that we get with Chelsea. Still, I think he is a better option than Campbell.

Again, you're not considering the reasons. He's going for better job security. At Wigan he knows his job security is tied to how well he does, not what the upcoming new owner decides on a whim.

Dreadfully unlucky to even be drawn in the group, but you gave your absolute best. Unlucky. I would have been very happy to see Scotland through, because what a story that would be.

Really hope he doesn't play. We need him a hell of a lot more than England do.

Welcome! Are you an expat then?

Of course Birmingham are relegation battlers TrueBlue I can totally understand why he's doing this. It's got nothing to do with how he's done at Birmingham, its because he's obviously not received assurances of his job from Carson Yeung, and would rather move to keep a solid job. Fair play to him really.

Wouldn't mind this at all, if it meant bringing Mancienne through.

Welcome

Welcome. Strange that you'd have a soft spot for Chelsea, very strange, but completely understandable!
