millzy_chelsea_fan 4 Posted July 3, 2009 Share Posted July 3, 2009 great signings 2 in 2 days lets make it a hat-trick with pato or zhirkov tomorrow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrismada9 1,948 Posted July 3, 2009 Share Posted July 3, 2009 I doubt Pato will sign tomorrow, but Zhirkov is definitely a possibility! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomlewis7 0 Posted July 3, 2009 Share Posted July 3, 2009 Yeahhhhhh two in two days, now Ancelotti has taken over the ball is rolling, both great signings. Zhirkov should sign soon, but according to one paper the contract talks are still in progress and Ac Milan are trying to Hijack the deal at the last second...But then again another paper says he is having his medical tommorow/today (just got back from playing a gig, its 12 now...So technically today...Saturday), so i duno. If we got Zhrikov and Pato we would absolutly have the best squad ever for now and the future, screw those Galactico assholes....So glad we have Sturridge though =D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueLion. 21,491 Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 Name: Daniel SturridgePosition: ForwardNumber: TBCJoined From: Manchester CityFee: UndisclosedSigned by: Carlo AncelottiAge: 19The second signing of Carlo Ancelotti's reign as Chelsea manager, Daniel Sturridge joins Franco di Santo as another teenage understudy to Didier Drogba and Nicolas Anelka. A strong, powerful forward with bundles of pace and energy, Sturridge rejected an improved contract at the City of Manchester Stadium following the end of the 2008/09 season, alerting Chelsea's Italian coach.Sturridge joined just a day after Chelsea had confirmed their first transfer of the summer; another young English player in the form of goalkeeper Ross Turnbull. With UEFA pushing for more homegrown players to be imported into squads, Sturridge will join both Turnbull and Chelsea's other young English prospects, including the likes of Jacob Mellis, Michael Mancienne and Jack Cork, as the club look to increase their English quota at the club.Though Sturridge will be hard-pressed to gain a space in Ancelotti's starting eleven with strikers such as the aforementioned Drogba and Anelka at the club, the young English forward was part of a similar set-up to Manchester City last season - with strikers such as Robinho, Caicedo and Bellamy being preferred - but still managed to net four goals in 27 appearances last term - despite the overwhelming majority of those coming as a substitute. Sturridge scored a penalty against Arsanal in 2008, which resigned the Gunners to a 3-0 defeat at Eastlands, and was the catalyst in a stunning fight-back at Ewood Park, where he scored and created two goals in the space of five minutes as City came from 2-0 down to secure a point. More of the same attitude from the young striker would certainly be welcomed at Stamford Bridge.Sturridge has made an immediate impression in Chelsea blue; scoring against the Seattle Sounders in a 2-0 friendly win, before winning a penalty against Internazionale, that was duly converted by teammate Frank Lampard.

Elliott 7 Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 Has his number of 18 been confirmed or are we just assuming from the pictures of him (and Turnbull) training? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Term-X 7,891 Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 no it hasent ^ also zhrikov wears the number 18 for both cska and russia so i assume he will get it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EskWeston 696 Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 Sturridge was wearing number 23 in training yesterday. I would assume that his number will be confirmed during his press conference in a couple of days time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidEU 2,023 Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 Sturridge is being presented tomorrow at 1:30. We'll know then I assume. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Term-X 7,891 Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 probably not.. turnbull wasn't presented with a number, just a shirt with his name on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EskWeston 696 Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 probably not.. turnbull wasn't presented with a number, just a shirt with his name on it. Yup i thought the same thing. I guess with a number of players who are certainly on their way out and possibly another 1 or 2 on the way in they are waiting till all deals are done before deciding officially on their squad numbers.

If he can have a good pre season he has an excellant chance of getting the oppertunities to show what he can do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
