Sorry, but I have to disagree with that. The points they've made are fair points, but saying he's turned into a show pony again overnight is stretching things. Last season he was the only player we could truely rely on to open up defences. We were too one dimensional with our play due to the lack of width. Now with the arrival of Deco and we've seen already what an impact he's had on the side, we're trying a new style of play and atm Joe Cole doesnt seem to be getting the game time he would maybe like. People are maybe thinking that if Joe Cole was worthy of the POTY award then he would be in the side every week. We've so much depth in the midfield that its hard to pick who would be best to start. He'd a stinker against Wigan, but the whole team were far from spectacular in that game. You dont become crap overnight. The boy has talent. Give him a break ffs, he cant be a world beater every game.

The only thing we both have in common is that we're both Premiership teams who were lucky enough to have someone wealthy come in and take over the club. The Arab guy himself has said he chose Citeh as he sees it as an opportunity to create something instead of going for an already established team such as ourselves, Manure, the Arse and the Dippers. We were miles ahead of Citeh at this stage of our takover. We'd already a decent team in place and Cech and Robben were already signed before RA came in. We were already taking massive steps in Europe and in the league. I'm sure the Citeh fans are buzzing, just like we were, so I dont hold any grudge towards them. Sooner or later someone was going to invest big money into another team to create more competition. Fair play to them....... But, their aim of taking the title next season is very optimistic and the C/L the following year is a pipe dream. It'll take more than the money to get a team together capable of doing those things. This is the counter arguement we used many a time in defending our club. So I wouldnt say we were hypocrites.......just giving advice as we have been there and know what the media and other fans are going to throw at them over the next lot of seasons.

What is it with us and transfers. We either pay over the odds for players or get taken for a ride. We're a fucking charity case for everyone else in Europe, paying players wages while on loan and folding when a player wants away. Its about time we toughened up and stopped letting clubs make a mockery out of us. First on the agenda is getting shafted of Kenyon. Once again he has made us look foolish with his ego coming to the forefront. He was as cocky as you can get. Cant stand the man.

All the best players are gonna be cup tied. If Drogba gets his act together I can see us doing really well this season even though we'll only have Anelka and Di Santo as our other options up front. we're not solely relying on a long ball to Drogba and working from there. We've already got a new dimension to our play and its only a matter of time before everything clicks like it did at Pompey and we'll be flying.

Yet its OK when they do it illegally? Well if Kenyon hadnt have been so smug in saying it was almost a done deal when it wasnt, then maybe the guy wouldnt have been so quick to put the tops on the site in the first place. All he had to say was...."We're still working on securing the player, nothing is certain at this moment in time." Now we look stupid. Total arrogance on Kenyons behalf.

I know alot of people are majorly pissed off with this deal falling through. As for myself I wasnt overly fussed if we got him or not. So who should take the fall for this? Discuss

Wont be difficult if one of our boys rattle him in a few weeks

Why dont you all register on a Real Madrid site and take your anger out there.......should be worth a bit of fun and keep you entertained through the night

I'm not that bothered tbh. I wasnt overly keen on signing him anyway. The squad we have is second to none atm. Obviously he would have strengthened the team. We've got our fingers burnt, a lesson should be learnt. If another team fucks about over a transfer deal we should tell them take it or leave it and not play silly buggers and drag it out and end up with nothing.

Didnt he just sign a new deal just before Scolari was announced as manager? I thought BPS was behind that in some way.

Fuck Real Madrid. They are a law unto themselves. ( I think thats the right phrase ) Yeah they fucked us over, did you expect anything less after all the fucking about they've done over the last few weeks ?

Robinho has hardly set the world alight ffs. Yeah he's a decent player with the potential to improve, but he's a different type of player to Drogba. Drogba is more direct. We didnt do too bad without him during pre-season and up till now we're sitting top of the league and have probably the best squad in the Premiership. Oh God we're in a crisis..........Mass suicide

Drogbas been here for what.....3-4 years? And in that time he's been on form for basically half that time if that. And I repeat...we are not a one man club.

Its only one player ffs.........Its not like he was going to piss all over the league. We didnt get him, wether it was down to Kenyon fucking up or Real being stubborn, it doesnt matter. We are Chelsea. We are not a one man club. KTBFFH

I agree with that. But lets not forget a few years back when we sold Gallas and bought Ash. That came from nowhere. :thumbsup:

Fuck Manure

Could of been a hell of alot worse. I'm happy with that Cech, JT and Lamps....congrats to the spine of the team :thumbsup:

Adios shortarse. Couldnt hack it up a level......back to the comfort zone.

I dont care who we get. We shouldnt fear anyone :thumbsup:

Hopefully he doesnt suffer fron brittle bones like Robben

Theres plenty of shit flying around in the press for tomorrow saying that this is gonna be a done deal in a matter of hours rather than days. 29m the reported agreed fee.

I cant see us repeating the performance we put in against Wigan. Spuds will not sacrafice their style of play. Ramos has them playing a similar style to us. fast, passing, and fluid. Fortunately for us, our style is working, theirs isnt. It'll be a very good game I reckon with plenty of flair shown by both sides. We should come out on top as their struggling to find the net and Bent isnt living up to his pre-season exploits and they've basically no-one else up front to call on. JT and Riccy should keep things tight. I'm hoping for a double on Sunday, Rangers play Septic at 12:30, so I'll miss the first half

Dave mentioned in the match thread that a move to Everton is looking likely according to the latest rumours. Tbh, I wont be sorry to see him go.
