Nothing official's been said yet, but the deal is looking very likely to be completed very, very soon. Delighted.

That's some great news.

Now all we need is Pato or Agüero and then I'm sure we're up to battle for both Champions League and EPL.

The problem is i dont think these are carlo's signings ross daniel and yuri that is. These players were linked to us before carlo came. I also think while he is clearly a talented player, 18 million could be spent on a even better player like capel.

Diego Capel was wanted by Tottenham though, and besides I don't rate him that much

Tottingham are linked to EVERY player I see.

We could get him for 10 million and he would be a really good option.

So finally its official !! Ancelotti has said it in his first Press Conference that Zhirkov's on his way. Confirmed in BBC as well

Yippee !! Here's hoping him to be a fan's favourite soon !!

[chrismada9 1,948]

This is what Zhirkov would look like in a Chelsea shirt

did this myself

[Wxgba 306]

At least Ancelotti's looking to sign new people, and bring in new faces to the club. I think Zhirkov will turn out to be a good signing for us to be honest, provided he gets time on the pitch to show us what he's capable of doing.

I have created it .

[chrismada9 1,948]

How did Zhirkov get black hands

[BlueLion. 21,491]

Its the transition from Russia to England, the temperature difference is astounding

[chrismada9 1,948]

Maybe because Zhirkov is always in Russia, and has no clue what hot weather actually is

[millzy_chelsea_fan 4]

great signing, can't wait to watch him play. He will probably have thenumber 18 shirt.

[millzy_chelsea_fan 4]

people say that this is Chelsea's signing not ancelotti's. but ancelotti wanted him at milan but they did'nt want him until Chelsea wanted him.

[Rambo 1,729]

Awesome signing, can't wait for him to get on the pitch.

[Term-X 7,891]

so he's a malouda replacement

because lets face it even though he can play everywhere on the left, his prime position is left midfield.
