I can see ancelotti having the experience that your talking about. He has been around for a while and look at the way the milan player reacted when he left. Malouda deserves atleast another couple of seasons, looking at the way he played these last few months has been great to watch. He is playing for the team and working very hard.

Drogba is a great player no body can take that away from him, when he is playing at his best he would have to be one of the best strikers in the world, and im sure alot of youngsters look up to him for that. But sometimes the way drogba promotes himself in the media is wrong. For example when he wanted to leave Chelsea. For myself i think it would be silly for Chelsea to not offer him a new contract he is a big impact on most games. Even when he is not playing that great he seems to make something happen atleast once or twice per game, and sometimes thats all it takes from winning and game or losing.

Playing Milan again in pre season, does 5-0 sounds good?

Who knows, if they sign some good players like we did, and they bond quickly they could be a force next season. I guess we will never know until next season when all the transfers are completed.

Good luck to him

hahaha. I get told this but i dont really care...

No worries jim.

Welcome to Talkchelsea. Stick around and Keep Posting

Hey may welcome back Stick around ey.

Congrats too all the winners i Finally won something lol

I read this on daily mail. But i didnt post it because it was only on there. If it is true i think it is a good signing but not 100 percent yet.

Manchester City have completed the signing of Gareth Barry from Aston Villa in a £12million deal. Barry has penned a five-year contract at Eastlands after agreeing personal terms and passing a medical. The England international's future at Villa has been the subject of speculation for some time, with Liverpool failing to sign him last summer in a much-publicised tug-of-war with Villa. Barry's contract at Villa was due to expire next summer and although Villa offered him a new deal, he has opted to make the move to ambitious City. The 28-year-old becomes City's first signing of the summer and his arrival is a major boost for City boss Mark Hughes as he looks to build a side capable of breaking into the top four. Barry was delighted to make the move to City and he believes there is a lot of potential at the club. "I'm delighted to be joining City. It didn't take much persuasion from Mark Hughes, they are heading in the direction I want to go," Barry told the club's official website. "There is great potential here, and I'm sure there will be a few more additions to the squad this summer." Praise Hughes is equally excited at the prospect of working with Barry next season."Gareth is widely acknowledged as one of the top midfielders in the Premier League, and that is a recommendation in itself," noted Hughes. "When players of his quality become available then you have to be in the market for them, so we are absolutely delighted that we have been able to conclude this deal. "The experience required to compete with the best in the Premier League is vital, and with Gareth we get the experience of someone who has played week-in, week-out in the hardest league in the world. "He plays at a level that has an impact on the game, and we are thrilled that he is joining us." Source: Sky Interesting. City have already started with a decent signing.

Happy 18th Birthday

Welcome Back to Talkchelsea

lol i highly doubt it. Also his first interview is on the Chelsea website and his english is great for his first interview.

Yes but every manager that comes in from a different league you have to have your doubts about as you do any new player. But if the club and the fans are not behind them 100 percent than they will never be capable of doing the best job that they can.

Exactly right. The one thing i am hoping for is that his english is somewhat better that what people are making it out to be. Surly Roman has had this deal done for quite sometime and Ancelotti has had lessons to improve. Wilkins will still be around who can speak italian and is always there to help out if needed. I cant wait for the new season now

Now lets pray its a very successful one

Im behind him 100 percent and he should have every Chelsea fans full backing.
