Fulham Broadway 17,319 Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 Infinately more talented than SWP. His age and personality is the problem when it comes to Deco, age mostly considering we already have Lampard, Ballack and Maka into their 30's in our midfield. Although i think he would do a good job for a couple of years under Scolari. I'd rather have SWP than Deco coming just for the money tbh. Lampards still in his 20's till later in the week I would however welcome goofy, now he's had a rest he could be absolute dynamite for us...

I would do backflips if we sign Goofy Would ideal to bring him in under Scolari. Deco, i am less bothered about. Would be happy if we didn't sign him, but wouldn't be bothered if we did.

Adds to the entertainment i guess lol lol, it'll probably be as famous as that light sabre kid clip Deco reckons Goofy would be good in SW6- "It would be very good because he would be going to a great club and would like to see him playing in the Champions League and showing that, for me, he is still the best player in the world," Times Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bombayblueâ„¢ 55 Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 goofy's brother is a money thirsty cunt, as he is his agent, he had R10's contract renewed every season except last.. but i guess if he comes we'd give him a 4 or 5 year contract and wouldn't need to renew it.. unless he decides to retire at Chelsea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueLion. 21,491 Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 No doubting he is a good, inventive player, but I'd take Lampard and Balley over Dicko any day of the week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EskWeston 696 Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 No doubting he is a good, inventive player, but I'd take Lampard and Balley over Dicko any day of the week. The way that i see it is that we need a playmaker in midfield, if we are playing 4-3-3 like we have been or if we change to how Scolari plays with a 4-2-3-1 - we have needed one for a very long while. We don't need to lose Ballack, Lampard, Essien or Mikel to bring one in. If i had my choice i wouldn't choose Deco, i would go for someone younger. BUT if it is Deco that Scolari wants as that playmaker, then i would be dissapointed because the man is a great player in that position. There is no doubting we NEED a playmaker.

Fulham Broadway 17,319 Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 Ballack and Cole are definite playmakers, there are several creatives, though another would be good if Lampard leaves..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EskWeston 696 Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 Ballack and Cole are definite playmakers, there are several creatives, though another would be good if Lampard leaves..... Cole - yes. Ballack - not so much. In my opinon of course Would just love to see someone with a bit of flair and creativity in there to open things up for us. Maybe Joey Cole will get a run out there under Scolari? Who knows? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EskWeston 696 Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 Deco certainly wants to come to Chelsea, i think that is perfectly clear. He is available this summer and Scolari is unquestionably a big fan of his.......... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warnie_666 1,081 Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 It is almost a done deal. Deco coming to Chelsea. Deco today in a statement said, HE WOULD LOVE TO SEE RONNIE PLAY WITH HIM AT A BIG CLUB LIKE Chelsea. I wonder if Deco is gonna score 20 goals next season.

Some reports in Portugal claiming it is a done deal! I don't think Deco has ever scored 20 goals in a season. Remember, there is NO-ONE like Frank Lampard..... Doesn't mean Deco isn't a good player though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bombayblueâ„¢ 55 Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 i don't think anyone will say deco's a bad player in general esk.. the thing is if no ones leaving do we need another 30 year old midfielder? even if we play him in the centre of the 3 in 4-2-3-1, it leaves us with 5 midfielders for the 2 midfield spots behind him.. i am assuming sidwell to be sold..

Deco, Lampard, Ballack,Mikel,Makalele, Essien for 3 midfield roles. ------------------------------------------------Cech---------------------------------------------------------- --Boswinga-----------------------Terry----------------------------Riccy----------------------------Ashley----- -----------------------------Essien/Ballack/Mikel/Makalele-----------------Essien/Ballack/Mikel/Makalele--------- Quaresma/Ronaldinho-----------------------------Deco/Lampard---------------------------------------JoeCole-- ---------------------------------------------Drogba/Striker---------------------------------------------------- Remeber, Deco is not going to play 50 games a season alone in that position.. The place wil be swapped between 2 players. I really feel Makalele is a surplus to our squad. He is past his prime now and the two deep midfield roles should be shared between three players: Essien, Mikel, Ballack. Lampard and Deco can play the role of an attacking midfielder or playmaker whatever you wish o call it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the wes 7,212 Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 it looks like deco is a done deal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EskWeston 696 Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 There is definately room in the squad for Deco, and even though the quality of midfield is extremely high with the high ages of most of them it gives us the perfect chance to keep everyone fresh. The only question marks over Deco is firstly his age and secondly his personality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badboy 1,526 Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 Well i dont think we should be looking at someone who is 30. We have ballack and lampard who are getting on, the good thing is mikel is only 21 and essien is 25 so we will have them 2 monsters for a while yet.
