Sparkie 27 Posted June 10, 2010 Share Posted June 10, 2010 I don't understand the motivational poster. Is it in favour of Joe Cole, the poster or the club?On a more serious note, I think this is a poor decision. The German captain is quality, and added grit to our midfield. Ballack's contribution was found in support, not spectacular but solid, pushing the team along. You need some players like that.And as for Joe, I'm slightly biased as he was my favourite player, but really, he was only 28 years old and a return to his best form sees him devastate opposition. The class he is capable of: WOW. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XvII 0 Posted June 10, 2010 Share Posted June 10, 2010 The departure of Cole, Ballack, Belleti, Deco didn't really surprise me. I'm glad the Cole n Ballack's "will they stay,will they go" saga has finally ended. I just hope we do not buy any defenders (we've got Bruma n Hutchinson) , midfielders (we've got Matic n Kakuta). The only player I want Chelsea to buy is Kaka. Other than that I just wanna our youth players getting more chance in the 1st team. In my humble opinion, all d aforementioned youth players are able replacements for the ones who left. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's done some good for this club but his legacy has been tainted by his greed in my eyes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rubber bullets 1,183 Posted June 13, 2010 Share Posted June 13, 2010 Finally someone decided to kick out Ballack! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Lampards Bitch Posted June 13, 2010 Share Posted June 13, 2010 It has done the club a favour because that is less money spent on wages on two players that play then usually get injured. And also the new UEFA rules, well I say new its adapted, we have to be careful of. it means clubs' financial returns will be monitored over a three-year period and they will be expected to spend no more than they earn, give or take a 5 million euros "immaterial losses" factor. You can blow what you like on a ground or training , on a youth project. So can your wealthy benefactor. That wealthy benefactor can only subsidise other spending - transfers and salaries, for example - to a maximum of 45 million euros over three years, above and beyond the break-even level. Our losses would be at a level UEFA would look at so the more thrifty the club is the better off we will be. plus we have good youth players that we should bring through to the first team.

LDN Blue 7,903 Posted June 21, 2010 Share Posted June 21, 2010 The captain speaks on Cole's release. Chelsea captain John Terry has revealed he is 'amazed' that the club are going to release Joe Cole.source Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueLion. 21,491 Posted June 22, 2010 Share Posted June 22, 2010 I'm not, saw it coming to be honest. The tosser wanted more money, suppose it must be awful sitting on the bench doing fuck all and getting £90,000 a week for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It could be the whole "bench thing" he realises he nearly missed out on England once, doesn't want to risk it again? Going to Manchester United wouldn't help him there, but who cares now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
northernblue 2 Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 United have pulled out of the race to sign Cole apparently according to this Premier League article. Looks like he will stay in London and a choice between Arsenal and Spurs. Normally I would say he would definitely choose Arsenal but the Redknapp factor may persuade him to go to Spurs - plus I reckon they would be crazy enough to offer him the wages he wants!!

5354 204 Posted June 28, 2010 Share Posted June 28, 2010 Any idea who will be replacing Ballack? Would there be a chance given to Jack Cock or Matic? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
