Franck Ribery

[Ollie 4,400]

These transfer stories are just fucking wind ups. Ribery is worth about £20m, hes never done or won fuck all in his career or done anything in a world cup or a champions league. He's been doing his stuff where the likes of Mario Gomez and co are doing it, in the German Bundesliga.

Chelsea are ready to offer £25m plus full-back Jose Bosingwa to land Bayern Munich midfielder Franck Ribery. (Sunday Express)

Who the fuck makes these transfers..is it Arnesen? Bosingwa plus 25 for Ribery....? I mean we are surplus in midfield, Right Back is the position where we were ulnerable all these years, and now when we found a great RB we are selling him just cus we need a marquee signing?

If Ribery comes, I only see one player leave. JOE COLE.

[Kez 2,727]

:thumbsdown: Joe Cole is staying.

[diskoviolente 425]

It looks like Ribery is going to cost us a player all the fans love and also a player who gives 110% for Chelsea

it is either José Bosingwa or Joe Cole.

I think we shouldn´t do that.

I think RIbery is totally overrated.

Guys, Guys. HES NOT COMING. So no point getting angry at what'll happen

Chelsea have been alerted to a softened stance from Bayern Munich regarding French ace Franck Ribery. The Frenchman has been a long-term target for the West London side but so far Bayern Munich have refused to sell.

However with Bayern poised to secure former Chelsea winger Arjen Robben, the goalposts have shifted significantly. Bayern chairman Karl-Heinz Rummenigge is now prepared to let the unsettled attacker leave; but only when they have secured the £19 million signing of the Dutch winger.

The Bavarian club are believed to be demanding a fee in the region of £45 million for Ribery although Chelsea believe they can negotiate a lower fee.

The Blues are expecting this one to run possibly right up until the transfer deadline. Chelsea chief executive Peter Kenyon has been in constant dialogue with the Bavarian club all summer and has found Bayern to be tough negotiators.

Chelsea have been trying all summer to sign a stellar name. Big money bids for the Andrea Pirlo, Alexandre Pato and Kun Aguero have all proved unsuccessful. Chelsea see a superstar signing as the missing piece in Roman Abramavich's vision for the club.

Chairman Ambramovich is determined as ever to win the Champions League after narrowly missing out in recent seasons. The Russian craves for Chelsea to be seen as a glamorous club with an attractive style.

Ambramovich went to great lengths to secure two time European champion Carlo Ancelotti who conquered Europe in style. Ribery comes highly recommened by Ancelotti who has earmarked the player for the tip of his diamond formation.

Ribery would wear the no.7 shirt for Chelsea with the expected departure of Ukrainian flop Andrey Schevchenko before deadline day.

^^Source??

So wait, Robben to Bayern?

Ribery to Chelsea?

Sheva to Bin?

Seems okay to me if we can get a good amount of rotation or amethod of using Essien, J. Cole, Deco, Ballack, Lampard, Mikel, Malouda, Zhirkov.......

None of that shit is going to happen. God I used to get so into reading all the transfer stuff but these past two summers (and I assume before that too when I didn't follow it) have been full of so much bullshit. Hasn't Ribery already played in the Champions League??? Cup tied players aren't going to solve our Champions League issues.

[ZanSnake 1,211]

Now, i don't think so. I think Bayern already qaulifed for CL, so hasn't played.

Ah yep you're right with that one. I'll be blown away if this happens still. Think we have enough midfielders.

[TrueChelseaBlue 105]

Don't think this one has any chance of happening imo

totally agree, we have Joe Cole, we don't need Ribery! End of story!
