Alee. 182 Posted July 4, 2009 Share Posted July 4, 2009 So we'll have Malouda JoeCole and Zhirkov for the same position? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrueChelseaBlue 105 Posted July 4, 2009 Share Posted July 4, 2009 (edited) Nah Zhirkov can play in various positions Left Winger, Left Wing back, saw him play more of an attacking role in the middle at one point too, and as a wing back, he doesnt just make runs forward, he tracks back, which is always a good thing.

chrismada9 1,948 Posted July 4, 2009 Share Posted July 4, 2009 any more news about Zhirkov, is he going to sign today???? I've been waiting all day for the deal to be done!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrueChelseaBlue 105 Posted July 4, 2009 Share Posted July 4, 2009 Today doesnt look likely now, but it could still happen, i reckon sometime next week it'll be done, but you never know in football.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrismada9 1,948 Posted July 4, 2009 Share Posted July 4, 2009 Thing is, we can't let this saga go on for too much, otherwise, look at AC Milan whom are suddenly chasing our tails for him at the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrueChelseaBlue 105 Posted July 4, 2009 Share Posted July 4, 2009 m pretty confident he'll join soon, new few days i reckon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
We Hate Scouse 10,326 Posted July 4, 2009 Share Posted July 4, 2009 So we'll have Malouda JoeCole and Zhirkov for the same position? Joe Cole on the right, Malouda and Zhirkov on the left. I remember Joe Cole also saying he wants to play more central this season aswell or was I just dreaming? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrueChelseaBlue 105 Posted July 4, 2009 Share Posted July 4, 2009 (edited) Doesn't matter where Joe plays, he's lethal, he played central at West Ham in his early years, and central when we first signed for us.

Tomlewis7 0 Posted July 5, 2009 Share Posted July 5, 2009 Joe's also unfortunatly always injured lol. I heard that Zhirkov's medical was to be on Saturday (yesterday), and he would be announced and join up with some of the players for pre season training on Monday. I also think its good that Turnbull and Sturridge are joining up with the FIRST TEAM for training on Monday. For Turnbull its expected, but it looks like we are really going to give Sturridge his chance in the first team instead of reserves...Good stuff =] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

millzy_chelsea_fan 4 Posted July 5, 2009 Share Posted July 5, 2009 Yuri Zhirkov has flown to London to undergo a medical ahead of his £18million move to Chelsea, according to reports in his native Russia. The CSKA Moscow winger has been rumoured to be close to joining the Blues all summer but it now appears likely that he will be unveiled as manager Carlo Ancelotti's first signing next week. The 25-year-old, who has been linked with a move to Manchester United in the past, is thought to be the subject of an £18million fee and will negotiate personal terms once his medical is complete. The Russian daily newspaper Sport Express revealed that Zhirkov had left his homeland to board a plane destined for London earlier on Sunday. As of yet there has been no confirmation from either club but Sport Express claim that CSKA president Eugene Giner confirmed that the Russian international was close to joining the Blues. Zhirkov shot to prominence at Euro 2008 where his standout performances alongside team-mate Andrey Arshavin helped guide Russia to the last four Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrismada9 1,948 Posted July 5, 2009 Share Posted July 5, 2009 He's gotta sign from Chelsea now, after that report has come through. No excuse! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
millzy_chelsea_fan 4 Posted July 5, 2009 Share Posted July 5, 2009 i think it will be completed tomorrow evening if he has just flown in. he will probably do the medical tomorrow which will take most of the day then agree personal terms. the fee has already been agreed.(£18 million) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrueChelseaBlue 105 Posted July 5, 2009 Share Posted July 5, 2009 Ditto, tomorrow evening is most likely, but things could still go wrong in the deal, but thats very doubtful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kez 2,727 Posted July 5, 2009 Share Posted July 5, 2009 It's looking good so far Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
We Hate Scouse 10,326 Posted July 5, 2009 Share Posted July 5, 2009 I read his having his medical today and would be revealed either Monday or Wednesday. Very good addition to the squad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
millzy_chelsea_fan 4 Posted July 5, 2009 Share Posted July 5, 2009 it should be tommorow, everythings done apart from the medical and personal terms. a medical is a couple hours and personal terms take no time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
