millzy_chelsea_fan 4 Posted June 28, 2009 Share Posted June 28, 2009 why are you worrying about where joe cole will play he can play on the right and we will finally hav what we've been lacking another creative midfielder and strength in depth thats what man united have and why they win everything. you think ancelotti will have the choice of j.cole, malouda, anelka, drogba and zhirkov up front week in week out. plus he can play left-back.

jason640640 0 Posted June 28, 2009 Share Posted June 28, 2009 I seriously don't want us to sign Zhirkov. I immediately think of Joe Cole, and where he's going to be next season, bearing in mind that Joe Cole is in fact ENGLISH!!! Joe Cole is amazing, but from what I'm reading (of course half is completely made up, but there could be a truth in there somewhere), he's probably off to Tottenham. Hoping to be pleasantly surprised by Zhirkov, but I am definitely underwhelmed by this supposed signing. Anyone know exactly what position Zhirkov is going to compete for? I know he plays up and down the left, but is he primarily a left back, left mid, or left wing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomlewis7 0 Posted June 28, 2009 Share Posted June 28, 2009 He is a left winger, like Joe Coles role on the right, he does the whole tracking back aswell, and obviously as he can play left back he does a good job of tracking back. He is meant as direct competition for Malouda and has better dribbling IMO. I also think he would be a great underrated signing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wxgba 306 Posted June 28, 2009 Share Posted June 28, 2009 He looks as if he'll be our first signing of the transfer window. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And if you think Joey is leaving to Tottenham, then think again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the wes 7,212 Posted June 29, 2009 Author Share Posted June 29, 2009 Yuri Zhirkov has been linked with a move away from CSKA Moscow for some time now, with Chelsea and Barcelona both thought to be in the running for the player's signature. The Russia international insisted earlier this month he had no knowledge of Chelsea's interest, but news daily Sport-Express reports that the 25-year-old defender, who can also play on the left wing, will fly to London on Wednesday to rubber-stamp a four-year contract. It is believed that the signing of Zhirkov, who has been one of Europe's most sought-after players since his impressive displays for Russia at Euro 2008, will cost Chelsea a fee in the region of €20 million.

millzy_chelsea_fan 4 Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 (edited) joe cole won't leave and he just be ashley coles backup he's mainly a left winger and will be competing with malouda and joe cole every week. iv'e read lots of articles saying that he will sign a three year deal tomorrow for £18 million which i think is a fair price and sturridge is set to complete his move tomorrw aswel.

BlueLion. 21,491 Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 Reports on TalkSport's radio station Zhirkov's signing will be confirmed tomorrow, and I've heard similar reports on various sites that Turnbull and Sturridge are to agree terms with the club very soon as well.

BlueLion. 21,491 Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 Russia star Yuri Zhirkov has dismissed speculation that he will sign for Chelsea this summer. The CSKA Moscow man had been linked with a switch to Stamford Bridge but the 25-year-old insists he is yet to receive an offer from the Blues."I honestly know as much about it as everyone else," he told Sport Express. "I read the papers, listen to the radio and I am genuinely surprised, given that no actual offer from Chelsea exists." New Chelsea boss Carlo Ancelotti is expected to transform the squad over the summer with Zhirkov one of the names believed to be on the Italian's shortlist. And Zhirkov says he would welcome the chance to play in the Premier League should the opportunity arise. "Clearly we are talking about one of the best clubs in the world, who regularly compete at the highest level," he added. "It is very possible that I would say yes. "But before that I would have to weigh up the pros and cons. "To sit on the bench and only get on the pitch from time to time doesn't interest me, not even at Chelsea. "Moreover, I have nothing to lose (by staying in Moscow), given that CSKA now have a very interesting team who will begin competing in the Champions League in the autumn." http://www.sport.co.uk/news/Football/20862...elsea_link.aspx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
