selling yuri would be nothin short of stupid with the modric deal not even being in the picture... yuri is an awesome option to have in a squad and his fightin spirit has been evident more than once (remember the bolton match in 2009-2010 season)... i was nothin less than stunned wen i heard of this transfer news... i think it will be yuri and yossi's contribution in the mid which will be pivotal to our season...

even if modric does come i dont think yuri is the player that should go... he is a winger and definitely the only one who can consistently put good balls in the d(his taking the corners while malouda,drogba and lamps are on the pitch is proof enough)... plus ashley cole is not goin to play 60 odd matches (which i hope we do)... if he gets injured half way thru the season who will we play as left back(the 2009-2010 champions league situation)... yuri's versatility really deserves him a place in the squad...

This means that Zhirkov is unsaleable.

Nothing new, the article was published the 2. We know that the players were given 2 days to see their families (Gigi Salmon said that in Blues News), they arrived Sunday early in the morning and they were back on Tuesday (or yesterday I don't remember).

I totally agree with ulsterchelsea, why should we always be the fall guy ?

Good move. Anzhi are about to feel the charms of being rich

We won't sell him for that much. I'd be happy them just repaying the fee we paid, that would be good business.

+ The money we payed Zhirkov in wages over the last few seasons.

I'd be happy with 30mill.

If they're desperate they may well spend 30 million euros, after all Zhirkov would be one of their greatest players and the fans there will be expecting something soon after missing out on several targets.
