By no extent will he ever become a Chelsea legend but 25 goals is certainly a lasting impression. He didn't score half as many as we'd have liked, but he scored some absolute stunners - Arsenal and Wigan come to mind.

I can't see him leaving, not now Scolari has become the manager.

I agree to some extent. When we signed Mikel, he showed ability and desire to attack, but Mourinho molded him into a more disciplined, defensive player in his first season. He has matured greatly as a footballer and remains an important member of the squad, but I do believe his creative instincts in an attacking sense have been somewhat neutralised by his defensive position. Despite this, because of his strength, skill and simplicity on the ball, I think he is more suited to the holding role and his athleticism allows him to keep on running for 90 minutes.

He's got to come good some time soon. Sheva's had a lot of support and a lot of faith put in him by three managers now, I just hope he proves himself in pre-season and gets a big role next season. No matter how little part he has played since his arrival, he's scored some very important goals, especially in Europe, and is always going to be an important cog in the Chelsea machine while he is with us. He started to show glimpses of his old self in November/December before he suffered that ankle injury, I hope he can regain his confidence and bang away 15 goals next season, which would be a nice return.

Wow, I'm pleasantly surprised. Aesthetically looks superb and is a helluva lot more accessible now.

Fear no more mortals, the Tanned One returns

Good luck to them both I'm sure they'll do brilliant. CFC Legends :cfc:

Right. I'm back now. So I'll count the awards and reveal them in moments

Unlucky Ballack. No offence to the player, but he's got a fucking shite record in finals

Not for me, but if some people find eating meat unethical, then so be it. 3. How do you find the time to make so many posts I am insanely fast at typing and almost always half an hour free to check the forum. 4. Last time you passed out? In a rugby match about eight months ago. Elbowed in the temple and got knocked unconscious. Very painful. 5. Last time you puked? When I had really bad 'flu at Christmas in 2006 6. put the following in your preferential order vodka/beer/whisky/rum Beer, vodka, rum, whiskey. As it happens, I hate them all. 7. if you had to buy a player off the mancs, goons and pool, who would they be and if you had to sell one of our own to them, who would they be? From United, I would buy Owen Hargreaves, and the player I'd sell to them is Ben Sahar From Arsenal, I would buy Fabregas, and the player I'd sell to them is Sidwell From Liverpool, I would buy Torres, and the player I'd sell to them is Pizarro. 8. A past player you wish we hadn't sold? Eidur Gudjohnsen. 9. your favourite excuse, when you're late at home? The bus was late 10.ever been in a street fight, if yes, describe it? Once or twice. Quite manic ones as well, I had a bottled waved in my face on one ocassion so I elected to headbutt the guy. 11.Whats it like being a Chelsea fan in Derby, ie do you get much stick etc ? A bit, mostly about 'support your local team' and stuff like that, but I'd be embarrased to support either Leicester or Derby 12. Question from constantine Is it true that you are still a virgin?

Favourite stadium other than the bridge? My favourite stadium other than the Bridge would be... either the Dragao (Porto) or Signal Iduna (Borussia), my favourite stadium I've been to would probably be Eastlands (Man City), its modern and pretty awe-inspiring to look at. 19. Do you have a secret liking for any other team in the premiership. What team? I have a very, very faint liking for Middlesbrough. I've been to a couple of Boro games with a mate of mine, always a good laugh. Always give us a good game as well. 20. What do you do in your spare time? Play football, rugby and hockey. Not the best at either of them by a long shot, but I do enjoy playing sports and trying to keep fit.

He's keen to make a good start. We have a difficult first fixture, a very difficult one in fact. If he can galvanise the team and beat Portsmouth, then that is one hell of a starting block.

Source? Rajkovic is a good young player. He regularly plays for Serbia.

The person who mentioned on the previous page that the way the club are keeping quiet is a good sign. If they had have immediately released a statement saying it was all speculation, I'd be worried. They are going about it VERY professionally. For once.

We're being quiet for two reasons: 1. The transfer market is not officially open 2. The Chief Executive is on holiday

Source? A loan deal would be more beneficial to Chelsea, he looks a top player from what I have seen of him.

I doubt it, LFS hasn't officially started work yet.

Welcome to TC, stick around geezer.

Welcome

G'day from England, welcome to TC.

He isn't a money grabbing cunt at all. He left because he was basically froze out of the team. He's had a good time at Madrid so far, and good luck to him for next year.

Lollichon also worked as a fitness coach alongside Glen Driscoll to replace Rui Faria, I believe. His methods of goalkeeper training are excellent, he certainly works the keepers to their core.

He's already maturing into one of the best centre midfielders of his generation and I'm sure that in a couple of seasons, he will be the first name on the teamsheet.
