Seems like a good player but I don't think he is worth 50 mil. Philipp Lahm would be a good signing imo and will probably cost much less. Either way, one of Belletti and Ferreira will have to go this summer...

Well Rijkaard is officially out of Barca by the end of the season so he'll be free this summer....for the Chelsea job?

Hiya and welcome

Any win'll do. I'm just so excited about making it to the final!!

That is so sad Poor Frank.

At least Wigan won at Villa Park today, we've still got some hope! I'm kinda worried for this game.Although Newcastle haven't been tested by a top side yet, you never know with them. We don't have a great record up there but lets hope that some history making gets done on Monday.

HOOORRRRRAAAAYYYYYY!!!!! I am just SO EXCITED RIGHT NOW!!!! We're going to a CHAMPIONS LEAGUE FINAL!!! GAH! It was an amazing game, you would think it was the score of Barça v.Utd, it it WAS'NT!! Didi is a Legend and Lampsy showed a lot of strength to score that penalty, amazing job boys! let's just hope we'll be this happy come May 21!!!

So Yernited are in the final. I watched this game and was so frustrated with Barça! both teams were loosing the ball a lot but that Scholes goal won it for them, it was actually really good. We really must get into the final this time, it's ours to loose. I would love it if we could wipe off that red monkey's smile again and get a trophy out of it too Come on Chelsea!!

Great result! Nice to see Sheva clear off the line at the end there too

Great scoreline!!! I just hope we can keep it up after the break!!!!

A good atmosphere will definitely pump up the lads. The Arsenal game was magical and I hope it'll be the same on Wed. I'm sure the fans can do it though, I heard them sing Blue Flag at Anfield

Hiya! I hope you stick around too, every once in a while an American joins and a few weeks later we never hear from them again. Welcome to TC

The new home kit has grown on me, I like it! The GK's... I'm not so sure but I think Cech can pull off any color

I can't even imagine how poor Frank and his family are feeling. Condolences to the Lampard family. RIP Pat Lampard

The agent of Chelsea goalkeeper Carlo Cudicini has played down speculation linking the Italian with a move to Juventus. Federico Pastorello stated that Chelsea will have the final say on any transfer, with the Italian determined not to sour an eight-year association with the West London club. Aston Villa are one of the clubs reportedly trying to turn Cudicini’s head, while reports on Wednesday suggested Juventus boss Claudio Ranieri wants to work with the player again. Cudicini acts as back-up goalkeeper at Stamford Bridge and though Petr Cech has had more than his fair share of injury problems, the 34-year-old has still only played in 10 Premier League matches this season. “I cannot say much until the end of the season, given that Chelsea are still busy on two fronts,” said Pastorello. “The fact is, his contract expires in 2009. “We give the priority to Chelsea because London has become a second home to him after 10 years at The Blues." Pastorello revealed that Cudicini could have left the club before now, but Chelsea thwarted an offer from Manchester City last summer. “Aston Villa? We will see at the end of the season, but Cudicini has already had a great offer in England,” added Pastorello. “Last summer Eriksson wanted him at Manchester City, but Chelsea wanted to keep him.” setantasports--------------------- poor Carlo, I'm sure he wants to play week in week out but I really don't want to see him go!

^ LOLZ! :lol:

I was actually ok with the 1-0 result, but the 1-1 was AMAZING! wooo! And nice song their Hazboom 1 down 2 to go...

Russia manager Guus Hiddink will never make a return to club management despite reports linking him with Chelsea, his agent has revealed. Cees van Nieuwenhuizen has responded to suggestions that Roman Abramovich is preparing to replace under-fire Stamford Bridge boss Avram Grant with the Dutchman, by confirming he is content to end his coaching career in international football. Van Nieuwenhuizen told BBC Sport: 'There is no chance of Guus going to Chelsea. He wants to end his career in international management. 'He signed a new deal in March that runs up to the 2010 World Cup and always honours his contracts.' Grant has largely surpassed expectations since taking over from the popular Jose Mourinho and two wins in the next week, albeit against Liverpool and Manchester United, would see the Blues with one hand on a place in the Champions League final and a renewed chance of wresting the Premier League title from the Red Devils' grasp. That has not stopped questions being raised over his future with the London club, with Hiddink, not for the first time, mooted as a possible successor. But the 61-year-old's representative Van Nieuwenhuizen was unequivocal in distancing him from the club. 'I don't know where these stories about Guus come from and I want to put an end to them once and for all,' he added. 'It isn't about money for Guus. It's about him having signed a contract and wanting to get on with his job with Russia.' soccernet.com

Come on Chelsea! Let's try to salvage something from this season! A draw would be great to take back to the Bridge where we can cream 'em

Looks good but I honestly hope we don't pay 10 million for him, after all, he's just a kid.

Sad that those games cost us the tittle. When each one happened we all knew it would come back to bite us in the butt, and here they are now hurting us the most now at the business end of the season. Lets hope we don't drop silly points like this next season. I think we all want to beat United at home, but in the form that we are in now, I would settle for a draw and maintaining the home record. But hopefully the players will be up for it.

Seems like Sheva will be joining him then.

I think Sheva will end up going back to Milan, sad as it is. The fans wont be happy though.

What an embarrassment. Only saw the 2nd half and that was disgraceful enough, can't even imagine how bad it was in the first half.....oh wait I can! We have been playing crap for too long and I'm tired of it, or rather the inconsistency. A couple of weeks ago we were beating WHU away 4-0, and before that loosing to Barnsley. Come on now! It doesn't take an idiot to realize we've got a problem here! The end of this effing horrible season can't come soon enough. I'm ready for a MAJOR overhaul this summer.

LONDON, April 13 (Reuters) - Chelsea goalkeeper Carlo Cudicini could miss the rest of the season through injury but manager Avram Grant said on Sunday he had not ruled out a quicker-than-expected return for first choice Petr Cech. Cudicini injured a hamstring during Chelsea's Champions League match against Fenerbahce in midweek and Chelsea now estimate he will spend between three and five weeks on the sidelines. But Cech, who needed 50 stitches in a facial wound following a training ground accident, has since trained wearing a mask and has not yet been ruled out of Monday's Premier League game against Wigan Athletic or Thursday's trip to Everton. 'Carlo is not available,' Grant told a news conference. I think it needs to be around four weeks but with this kind of injury sometimes it can be three or five.' soccernet.com
