DavidEU 2,023 Posted June 30, 2008 Share Posted June 30, 2008 Chelsea TV just made a big fuck up and Deco has signed. They were doing a promo review of Euro 2008 on the news program, and said: "Portugal with Bosingwa, Ricardo, Paulo and new signing Deco'... they then cut back to the presenter of the news, and he said "new signing hopefully". SSN also are on this story now, and Chelsea TV said at the end of Blues News that there could be more at 10. (Repeat on Blues News) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

riks12 3 Posted June 30, 2008 Share Posted June 30, 2008 I'm not really happy seeing that. So now Lampard to Inter? I don't think we are gonna keep 3 world class central mf. Anyway I'm not happy that we signed a 30 y/o midfielder.. Oh well, I hope he is going to do great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

diskoviolente 425 Posted June 30, 2008 Share Posted June 30, 2008 well Deco really wants to play for Chelsea, Lamps on the other hand didn´t made that very clear on a german football-page i just read that Inter got Lamps in his hand, and that he is close to sign the contract. Lamps is also 30 years old, and not that a creative Midfielder like Deco is Of course, Lamps is like Terry a true Chelsea-legend now, but not that through and through i think Deco will do well, he is hot , very talented and played a gread EURO a fact that no one can deny. he wants to improve himself in the Premiership. So i am not unlucky with him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
True_Blue 469 Posted June 30, 2008 Share Posted June 30, 2008 In terms of quality and overall game 1.Lampard Deco Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stamford 3 Posted June 30, 2008 Share Posted June 30, 2008 Totally unprofessional by CTV, But these things do happen I suppose. I am not thrilled about this signing really. He's 31 this year and I feel we should be building for the future. Ok he was a great player five years ago, but if Frank stays, who is Deco going to keep out of the side ? Sure I think he will get maybe 10 goals in a season, and can when in the mood be a fantastic playmaker, but he is injury prone and I think that he has come for a stroll before retiring.

Bandicoot 3 Posted June 30, 2008 Share Posted June 30, 2008 Not impressed with this signing at all, certainly not the way we should be going. He is past his best, claims he really wants to play for Chelsea, it's easy to say that, we need younger signings, not everyone else's cast off's.

Elliott 7 Posted June 30, 2008 Share Posted June 30, 2008 Deco is a top player, and the playmaker we have been missing. It remains to be seen if Lampard stays or goes with this, but for sure now it will look like Deco forced Lampard out of the club, whereas I'm sure the club wanted it to look like we signed Deco to replace the outgoing Lampard. This has everyone comparing the two players, but its pointless, because they are different types of players. Deco is a playmaker, Lampard is a grafter and a goalscorer. I think they can both on their day have as good an output as each other, and if Lampard doesn't want to play for us any longer, well Deco does, so that suits me okay. It is neither a step forward nor back, but in a different direction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

manpe 10,861 Posted June 30, 2008 Share Posted June 30, 2008 Yeah, you keep repeating that. It's his subconscious saying that... *cough*queer*cough* (sorry, didn't mean to insult ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kez 2,727 Posted June 30, 2008 Share Posted June 30, 2008 Lol trying to cover it up poorly. Ahh well everyone makes mistakes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve 10,227 Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 WOW, actually quite shocked that this has happened so close to euro 2008 finishing, Deco is a great player, a playmaker that the team has always needed but surly this will mean Frank is going to be heading to inter , he is not going to want to stay with 2 other star midfielders.. Im happy with the signing cos im sure deco is going to do great but im also a little sad because lamps is my favourite player and i dont want to see him leave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aesthetic Relic 301 Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 Its a step sideways imo. Not overly impressed. He can do a job for us I suppose but it remains to be seen wether he can be the player we've been lacking in midfield. Someone who can unlock defences. If Lamps goes....so be it. Chelsea moves on. Obviously I'd love to see him stay, but we'll just have to wait and see. Doesnt look likely now though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
