Absolutly awful move... the stupidest thing i ever heard.

1. We arent bringing creative mid, so we let Yossi leave?.... why?!

2. Why a loan?!!?!

3. why to Arsenal?!?

Unbeliveble

That he cant play against us!

this is so stupid, i'm lost for words..

[nono 791]

What a debacle.

[Naked Mole Rat 437]

All this is really hard to understand, but what I really really don't get is why they would try ruin my fun watching Arsenal fail.

[LDN Blue 7,903]

Good job it's a loan.

That way, should he shine, we can simply get him back. Are Arsenal paying his wages, or are we?

[Waterfall 893]

I'm assuming they are the ones paying for his wages. Wouldn't make any sense for us to help our rivals out even more.

[Guest justin_3d]

I still see this as pure retardation!

He was the best in pre-season, better then anybody, while Lampard continues to be in the team full 90 minutes and Yossi nothing.

AVB lost it here!

[Tortilla9 390]

FSC also said that Wenger talked to Yossi after the United thrashing on Sunday about a move.

[Peace. 4,352]

I still can't believe we have loaned a player to a rival team and help them to improve them-selves... What did our board was thinking.

[BlueLion. 21,491]

I don't see the logic behind this move. I thought we needed more midfield options - yet we've loaned two CAMs out...

[Fulham Broadway 16,860]

Its apparent Boas doesnt see him as the future and he will probably get injured again, I see it as a shrewd move all in all

[5354 204]

Whats the point of loaning him? I rather the club sold him. Maybe for 5m pounds or something or in exchange for some player.

[Laylabelle 9,359]

No point in loaning him..there is no logic..its the minds of the Chelsea board

[5354 204]

When I first read YB going to Arsenal, I thought Chelsea did a good deal by selling 1 of the old squad member!! Annd how on earth will AW sign a 30++ player at this point...? In the end the Chelsea board is really f*

Does anyone else think that Arteta, Wilshere and Benayoun sounds like a better middle three than Mikel, Ramires and Lampard (in his current form)?

They wont play with those three, they will play with Arteta, Wilshere and Song. I hope we wont play Remires and Mikel

together anymore, so our middle three will be Mikel/Ramires, Miereles and Lampard. (when we have Josh, Romeo and maybe Essien later this season).

About Yossi, cant see the logic in let him leave when we didnt bring someone creative like Modric, cant see the logic in loaning him

instead of selling him, but its over now, and its not AWFUL like i said yesterday. Its a stupid stupid move by our club, but its not a crucial

mistake. We could use the creativity and spark he can bring to the pitch, but we do have a very good midfield, not as creative as we

wanted, but a very good midfield with a lot of options. If AVB is a good manager, it can be good enough.
