My God! First he's gone in a wee hissy fit over Rangers defending and now Chelsea being a bit physical?! Flippin' hell Leo, grow a set!

He showed early last season how much of a threat he can be from open play and set peice alike. Keep him on board and rotate him and Ballack, I say.

I hope so baldy

Stupid move if true, as has been said - he's irreplaceable. If he goes, Carvalho will be forced to stay imo.

To be fair, if there's any player under 20 in the world who's worth that sort of money it's probably Pato. He's already established himself in the Milan setup, getting games ahead of Shevchenko and Inzaghi at times and he's played at full international level for Brazil. I think, given todays inflated prices he'd be worth it. Saying that, I don't think any player is worth that sort of stupid money, but that's modern football.

Wrong choice in words I think mate

About 20 million pounds

No way he'd leave imo. You could see after he missed that penalty at the CL Final how much it meant to him, he loves Chelsea and will be there for the long haul, especially with a promising manager in Acelotti coming into play.

Quite near Glasgow. Just about 40 minutes away from the town.

We thought the place needed a nice touch, too many bloody English

Sneijder every time. Van Der Vaart's less flexible and not strong enough or fast enough for the Premier League imo.

Drogba has similar qualities to Shevchenko when he was at Milan, I can see him being utilized in a similar way. Wouldn't be surprised if next season turns out to be one of Dragba's best. Ancelotti obviously knows how to utilize play a player to the best of his ability and that's what he'll do with players like Drogba, Lampard and Essien who can turn a match on it's head the same way he done with Kaka, Inzaghi and Pirlo.

Alright guys. New to the forum, recommended by Aesthetic Relic. I'm a Rangers fan first and foremost but I like to see Chelsea do well. Looks like a good forum, hope to get stuck in
