Perhaps, but I still think we should try to actually sell him and get at least 5-6m for him. With the FFP rules, we can't afford to over-pay for players, then let them go for free after a few years.

If RDM starts rayn on the left wing, I will forever worship the man.

If Chelsea get to sell a few thousad shirts and gain some new foreign fans, I don't see how that can be bad for the club. I think we've got to the stage where we are well past trying to preserve the "old beautiful game". Money talks in football today, Chelsea is living proof.

And won't his replacement have similar, if not even more ridiculous, wages?

It would be great marketing to the EPL and the teams participating in the match.

I have to ask, why Villa Park out of all places?

You've won the most controversial member award, give it a rest

I thought he did very well there. He was solid, and always provided an option on the wing to whomever got the ball in the middle. He actually should have score in a couple of occasions had the crossing (from Danny and Torres if I remember correctly) been better.

I guess he knows they won't be Challenging for the tittle anytime soon. Why do I get the feeling he'll end up at City?

Nop.

Exactly. Now Gaitan, on the other hand is who we should be going after.

My issues with getting rid of him are: 1) The timing: We already have several positions to fill in the summer, the most importat of those concerning the wings. The last thing we should do is get rid of another player who could serve as a decent back up, because odds are we will not be able to replace him soon. 2)Letting him go for free. This has always bugged me about our board.We can not keep this up with the FFP rules.

Anyone else read that Van Persie has refused to sign a new contarct? It was in the mirror today.

I agree with Term, the black seats are class!

Imagine if one of those two is forced to come on and then scores the winning goal in the CL final on his debut!

Whom would you rather? We've run out of players who can play in the final.

Yea i agree with Spike. His biggest problem is that he has not developed since he came to Chelsea.

How about if Grant regains his managerial post at Chelsea?

That is....depressing.

And leave Bosingwa alone to mark Ribery? Suicidal!

Not really the player I'm worrying about. Now, if only he could give that cold to Ribery...
