Yes very true, the best youngsters always get their chances. Although us as a club have a reputation for not giving youngsters a chance, the Mikel example is one which disproves that and hopefully Di Santo will be another......

Well why are we looking at him then? Don't want some usless f**ker hitting balls into the stands and running around like a headless chicken!!

Lol, funniest story i have read for a long time..... nice one.

Never heard of him! What exactly would a combination of Aimar and Essien play like???

Well if we want him THAT much then we will more than likely pay for him. He is certainly the sort of player i would like to see us sign.

Very true. A combination of factors makes it difficult to attract the young south American players. But once 1 or 2 have done it and made an impact more will follow.

It will be hard for him for sure, but we signed him because he is highly talented and highly rated so if he can settle he will make his impact. Who would have thought when Mikel came in as an 18 year old with midfielders like Maka, Essien, Lampard and Ballack that he would establish himself as an important and regular member of the team in just 6 months!!!

Lol, i always thought it was a hearing aid, he is getting on bit!

Only because you never do the bloody ironing

I would guess they would play Mikel. Not as if he needs to rest, he hasn't exactly played more games than everyone else.

Couldn't agree more.. And as for the BNP not being racist! You must be kidding. If they ever got to power the country would get f**ked up worse than it is now.

Taller than Ronaldinho and not as goofy!!! Will be good to see what he is capable of though.....

Lol, fair enough

Would definately be a fantastic signing still, i would just like to see us bring someone in who can give us their best years and a lot of them too..... which hopefully we will get from Di Santo

Very true, winning it by default can't be very good..

Well we have no idea what goes on behind the scenes. But while we are winning and doing as well as we are i am happy to keep my mouth shut and give the management team my support.

Lol, should have kept my mouth shut....

Whilst i would not exactly be dissapointed to see us sign Ronaldinho i think we should be concentrating more on signing the younger stars of the future rather than the ones who we are only likely to get a few years out of.....

Grant has been mocked for not having the correct coaching badges (among other things). But he has always had the highest coaching badge he needed because previously Israel were not part of Europe so he would not have needed a UEFA licence. Was mentioned in a different version of the story.....

It's looks like he is going to be the big transfer story in the summer! All the major clubs are going to want to sign him. He will cost a fortune because a bidding war will start and also we all know what Lyon are like when negotiating transfers!!!

Really?? A award ceremony right in the middle of the ACN! Then when he said he wouldn't go because he wanted to concentrate on the ACN they tell him that he will stripped of the winners award....

Too right, what a bloody Joke....

Good to hear that Di Santo is settling in nicely and the players are looking after him. The club have clearly explained to him the situation knowing that depending on his progression it could take between 2 months and a year to break in. I think it will be tempting for the club to give him a run out against Huddersfield especially if he is doing well in training.

It's not rocket science though, i am sure we ARE looking at him. We would be mad not to with the way he is impacting at the moment.

A lot of work has gone into the Chelsea womens team recently, and this just goes to prove that. When it comes to womens footie you have to be looking to compete with Arsenal because they just steamroll it.
