Chelsea FC 2006/2007

Kenyon says there'll be 3-4 in and 3-4 out this summer.

Likely 4 in:

Alex - £1
Miguel - Around £10m
Sidwell - Free
McCarthy - £15m

Likely 3 out:

Glen Johnson
Boulahrouz
Geremi

Alex, £1?

Did you forget the m for million?

Nope.

Checked on wikipedia yesterday. Apparently we can have him for $1 (about 60p) as he's technically our player.

Whether that's true or not is another matter

Players currently out on loan:

DF
Alex (at PSV Eindhoven, until August 2008 [59])

Alex started his career in Santos of Brazil in the 2002 Brazilian season. He was bought by English club Chelsea F.C. in 2004, but due to potential problems attaining a work permit, he was loaned out to Dutch club PSV Eindhoven. The joint contract of Chelsea and PSV states that Alex would play at PSV for two years, with Chelsea having a €1 buy-out clause

That would be quite clearly the bargain of the century.

Not worried that someone's mucked about with the page like sometimes happens on Wiki?

Nope it is actually true! We bought him from Brasil, but couldnt get a work permit, so loan him out to PSV, where i think we pay 20% of his wages, so about 1500 euros. And we can have him whenever we want, as long as he has a work permit!

Be a good addition then.

Yeah most definitely.

If Boula stays then we'll have 4 CBs again.

Carvalho--Terry : Still be the top partnership. Their understanding now is superb. Best partnership in the Prem along with Rio-Vidic imo.

Boulah--Alex : Both will get their opportunities through injuries etc, but this could be the partnership used for Carling Cup matches.

PS. I think Sheva's role in Drogba's 33 goal tally has been massively overlooked.

Have you guys been impressed with John Obi Mikel?
For me he is beginning to look like a world beater. The way he was shrugging off the utd midfield yesterday was amazing and he seems to have a good eye for a pass which is just what Chelsea's midfield needs.
Mikel and Essien will be one hell of a midfield pairing: strong, skillful and determined.
Just get Tevez instead of Mccarthy and the future will look very bright for Chelsea's young guns.

Makelele defo leaving?

Have you guys seen this

Amazing.

The Court of Arbitration for Sport has ruled that Fifa must impose financial sanctions on Adrian Mutu for breaching the terms of his Chelsea contract.

The Romanian striker, now at Fiorentina, had his contract terminated by Chelsea after he tested positive for cocaine in October 2004.

He joined Juventus on a free transfer during his seven-month suspension, even though he had cost The Blues £15million.

Chelsea successfully claimed Mutu had breached the terms of his contract by failing the drugs test and called on Fifa to decide on a compensation figure for the player to pay them.

Mutu argued that he should not be liable to pay any compensation, and Fifa said they did not have the jurisdiction to make any order.

However, Fifa must now make the decision after Chelsea took their case to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) and had their appeal upheld.

"CAS has upheld the appeal filed by Chelsea FC against a decision rendered on 26 October 2006 by the Fifa Dispute Resolution Chamber (DRC) concerning the Romanian football player Adrian Mutu," read a statement from CAS.

"In its decision, the Fifa DRC denied jurisdiction to determine what sporting sanction and/or financial compensation should be imposed upon the player further to the breach of his contract with Chelsea FC."

Can't believe this is still going on.

I think this is going to be a problem though; for whatever reason (that I cannot understand) he never features for Brasil.

That's not the be-all and end-all though.

By the strict rules there's no way Kalou should be playing for us, since when we signed him he had no international experience at all and (famously) no Dutch nationality.

The authorities will make an exception if we present a good case for giving him a work permit.

So, you got your first signing, Sidwell.

We all know Essien won goal of the season, for his tremendous strike v Arsenal, but what's your favourite Chelsea goal of 2006-07?

Here's a list of real candidates:

1. Essien v Arsenal https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gce2y6C5PzI
2. Drogba v Barcelona https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zMgG-pOEWhw
3. Lampard v Barcelona https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tTM3cy3kLuI
4. Lampard v Everton https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JUNscy-hxoA
5. Drogba v Everton https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4GJadCO7x7M
6. Shevchenko v Tottenham https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NpfpMAs7v9g&mode=related&search
7. Drogba v Liverpool https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6a_UjlN1BA4
8. Shevchenko v Porto https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W2COb69l65g&mode=related&search
9. Essien v Valencia https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qviYQt2ho8A
10. Shevchenko v Sheff Utd https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1EdxaDLcSzI
11. SWP v West Ham https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B-hBKWReyyk
12. Drogba v Man City https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TVOw0xc-GFI
13. Kalou v Watford https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u_12uKw-Afo

Yeah, hopefully we'll get Miguel, Alex and McCarthy too.

That means cover in every single position:

Goalkeepers: Cech, Cudicini, Hilario
Right Backs: *Miguel*, Ferreira, Geremi
Centre Backs: Terry, Carvalho, Alex, (Boulahrouz?)
Left Backs: Ashley Cole, Bridge
Defensive/Central Midfielders: Mikel, Diarra, (Makelele?), Essien, Sidwell
Central/Attacking midfielders: Ballack, Lampard
Wingers: Robben, Joe Cole, Wright-Phillips
Strikers: Drogba, Shevchenko, *McCarthy*, Kalou.

Alex only want to go to Chelsea if he gets a guaranteed first sport. It's hardly surprising that he wants that given his performances in the CL but surely Chelsea can't give that.

Old, and slightly off topic, but enjoy this:

Surprising to see Kalou 4th highest on all time appearances for Chelsea including subs and normal games. "Wasting his career" "wont get a game"

Yeah, out of 64 games played, Mikel featured in 42 (almost all of them at the latter end of the season, when he nailed down a 1st team place).

Kalou made 58 appearances.
Robben 37 (despite being injured for half the season).
SWP made 44 appearances (and has made 83 in his Chelsea career).

Will Jose ever give these guys a game?

Course not Jamie, Jose ruins careers

Shevchenko a Gunner?



Well is new friends Poulter and Dixon certainly are! This was from a charity Golf game yesterday. One of the incentives to moving to England must have been the Golf.

Im not a golfer, but is he taking that left handed?
