BlueLion. 21,491 Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 Ash is a brilliant player but his body language just shouts out 'I can't be arsed.' Bridge is the more committed, I can see Ash leaving for Barca or some club where he can join the egos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chelseapaul 0 Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 Play him in the final. Have him and cAshley on the left and fuck Malouda off. Bring a kid up from the ranks and have him sat on the bench. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaulHopkins 1 Posted February 16, 2008 Share Posted February 16, 2008 KEVIN KEEGAN’S £50million summer spending plans are on hold until Newcastle have secured Premier League safety, writes STEVE BRENNER. Toon are in freefall, without a league win in two months, to leave them six points above the drop zone. Keegan, who still has not won in five matches since returning to the club, said: “We have to get the players we have here to ensure our safety. "We just need a win, then the confidence will come flowing back.” Keegan has drawn up a wish-list including Manchester United’s Wes Brown, Chelsea defender Wayne Bridge and West Ham striker Dean Ashton to spark a Toon revolution.

PaulHopkins 1 Posted February 17, 2008 Share Posted February 17, 2008 I think we should be looking to keep Ash, Bridge and Malouda as they are all quality players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elliott 7 Posted February 17, 2008 Share Posted February 17, 2008 It may be hard to keep Bridge, I can understand him wanting to leave for more first team football. How long until Bertrand can start fitting in the team as a back-up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueLion. 21,491 Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 Thats only the 5m for Bridgey tho' :huh: Not necessarilly, though if someone offered £5 million for Sidwell I'd bite their hand off. I have every faith in a Chelsea squad member but with Lamps, Makelele, Mikel, Ballack and Essien ahead of him for central midfield roles, he is only going to get six or so games the remainder of this campaign.

EskWeston 696 Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 Bridgey is a target for Pompey according to all of the media at the moment. I could see it possibly happening. With Bosingwa now taking up the right back spot, you could see maybe Scolari keeping Belletti and using Ferreira as back up left back and letting Bridge move on....

With Bosingwa now taking up the right back spot, you could see maybe Scolari keeping Belletti and using Ferreira as back up left back and letting Bridge move on.... Hes not travelling on the tour, and is reportedly (Telegraph and various) going to Pompey for the same as what we paid for him £7m. Also going the same way (same sources) is SWP for £10 m. I dont like this-especially Bridge going -ok only 70 odd games in 5 years but would like him to stay. This is dealings between Gaydemark and Abramovich -2 Israeli /Jewish oligarchs methinks, with the middle men cut out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EskWeston 696 Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 I wouldn't like Bridge to go, i think he is an outstanding back up left back. But it may be the case that he desperately wants to move on this summer for first team footie!! And i can see how we would work it if he was to leave too. SWP can go, the sooner he goes and we bring in a replacement the better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kez 2,727 Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 I really dont want to see Bridge leave, He would be playing week in week out if it weren't for cole and half the time he deserves to be playing ahead of him. Looks like we will be losing another English player. And Pompey thats an interesting move considering he is southampton born Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chelsea blue 615 Posted January 1, 2009 Share Posted January 1, 2009 Manchester City agree deal with Chelsea to sign Wayne Bridge for £12 million By Sportsmail Reporter Last updated at 8:24 PM on 01st January 2009 Comments (0) Add to My Stories Manchester City have agreed a deal to sign unsettled defender Wayne Bridge from Chelsea for £12 million. The full-back has ended five and a half largely frustrating years at Stamford Bridge for the England full-back. Bridge will be at City on Friday to discuss personal terms. Wayne Bridge is on his way to Manchester City Bridge was initially a Chelsea regular after signing for the Londoners in the summer of 2003, but injuries and the arrival of other top stars, particularly Ashley Cole. His international career has also stalled, with his last appearance in a European Championship qualifier against Estonia in June 2007. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/...d.html?ITO=1490 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elliott 7 Posted January 1, 2009 Share Posted January 1, 2009 Looks like he's going. Don't blame him really, he's always playing second fiddle to Ashley. Guess that means we'll have Ferreira as back up left back. Hopefully with a view to have Ryan Bertrand nurtured for the first team in the future.

BlueLion. 21,491 Posted January 1, 2009 Share Posted January 1, 2009 Best of luck to Wayne Bridge. A model professional footballer who will, quite rightly, go down in Chelsea history for that goal against Arsenal. When he first came to Chelsea he made an immediate impression and I for one thought that we'd found a solid, English left-back to compliment the core of our team. He got injured against Newcastle in the FA Cup in early 2005 and from there he really lost his place in the team, especially with the signing of Del Horno and with Gallas operating at left-back as well. But he kept on battling, and even when Ashley Cole came, he had a brilliant season in 06/07 - I remember him putting in two fantastic displays in the League Cup and FA Cup finals, and he even scored in the 1-1 draw against Wycombe when playing as a striker! He was willing to play everywhere, but perhaps moreso, key to play second-fiddle, and fill in when he was required, and he didn't half do a bad job. Countless assists, countless faultless performances, and did I mention that goal at Highbury? Maybe not an out-and-out Chelsea legend in the same category as Tambling and Osgood and Zola, but certainly one of the loya players who was close to the fans' hearts. We can't really blame him for going, but he's certainly a top player and I wish him all the best after five and a half years of service at the Bridge. I know its not a done deal just at the moment, but he deserves first team football and City seem to suit his needs. Best of luck, Bridgey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kez 2,727 Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 (edited) Well i'll be gutted if he leaves.. Don't want to see him go to Man City though. He's a fantastic player and would be playing week in week out in any other team. Sad to see him go will always remember that goal at highbury and for that hes a legend to me.. Never moaned and fought so hard to get back after his injury which i can still remember the very moment of good luck wayne you will be missed.
