Chelsea agree Bosingwa deal

Chelsea are set to win the race to sign Portuguese star Jose Bosingwa after agreeing a deal with Porto.

The Blues are understood have struck a deal worth 20.5million
euros (£16.2 million) with Porto and the player has flown to London for
talks and a medical.
The player's agent Jorge Mendes has accompanied his client as Chelsea look to seal the deal in the next 48 hours.
Manchester United, Liverpool and Aston Villa have all made moves
for the 25-year-old in recent months but it appears Chelsea have held
them off to land the highly-rated full-back.
More to follow...

He's quite fast , havent seen him beaten one on one too often ,quite attacking too.

Didn't Ferreira have a great reputation when he signed, and Del Horno.. Chelsea break full backs.

Jose Bosingwa is the real deal

wohooooo no price with Chelsea over Alves

Liverpool will sign him I wished.

Liverpool have no money.

Hmm, interesting one, i'm certainly looking forward to seeing him.

Hopefully this means we are getting Lahm this season or next.

he already plays for you

He does?

Bayern.

Aah ok, well back to Boswiga. Good signing, at least that will stop them playing Essien there.

Chelsea need to buy a striker to replace Drogba

Nah, this will be the season when Shevchenko really comes out from under Drogba's shadow.

Seriously - who will they go for? Eto'o? Benzema? Aguero?

Henry

If Rjkaard does go to Chelsea, then probably Eto'o.

He would be good for us if we could get him on a free and if we repainted the lines to make the Anfield pitch half the size.

Drogba is not a striker, he's a winger FFS!

Are Chelsea going to keep Ferreira or Belletti? and wasn't that £9m mystery man Ivanovic a RB or is he more of an all-round defender?

it always seemed to me that Grant didn't rate Belletti, hardly seems to have had a kick in recent months. defo a Mourinho signing and one you wonder about in terms of behind the scenes arguing which may have been partially responsible for the ultimate outcome

Ferreira is on his way out, Belletti will probably follow him.

Ferreira just signed a 5 year deal.

that is going to be:

Spoiler:

Bosingwa is a really good signing for Chelsea, although a bit dear.

Belletti will leave for some Spanish mid-table side probably, with Ferreira staying as backup/rotation for Bosingwa.

Berbatov looks a possibility. Let's wait and see on Drogba, probably one of the Milan clubs will sign him but there's no real rumours coming out.

Nah, Rijkaard personally doesn't like Etoo. The split was Laporta-Etoo and Rijkaard-Ronaldinho.

What happened to Branislav Ivanović btw?

Couldn't get into the team.

Apparently short of match fitness when he arrived, and has been injured since March.

strange its only a 3 year contract

I'm thinking Sporting should make any future deals with these 'Blues'; they pay well over what they should... I like that.

20.5 for Bosingwa could mean something in the high 30s for Veloso...Makelele isn't getting any younger.

(two seasons from now..)
