Micado Posted July 12, 2011 Share Posted July 12, 2011 What about Van Der Wiel, Dutch press reported this week you made a offer of 9M€, which we refused, but tbh I don't believe the story at all.... did you hear/read anything about that? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bracken Posted July 12, 2011 Share Posted July 12, 2011 Glad the forums are back. Anyway delighted about AVB, so disappointed for Essien as I know he was poor last season but I really hoped he might regain some kind of form this year. Anybody got any news about the behind closed doors Wycombe friendly tonight? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heard you want Parker as a replacement. If Downing is worth £18.5 I want £ 25 mil for him. No doubt you will get him for £ 8 mil. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure why we need Parker, specially if we get Modric Agreed, we've got Ramires to play the box-to-box role or Mikel for DM, so as much as I love Scotty, I don't want to see him wasted on our bench. Modric would do nicely though Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benoit2 Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 Time to bookmark the new thread Glad to get the Chelsea discussion going again Now isnt our 'normal' first choice midfield Mikel-Essien-Lampard? Dont we have Ramires as Essien's back-up? We dont need a backup for Essien, at most just a back-up back-up for Ramires. Its not like we've never used Mikel-Ramires-Lampard, is it?

What do you guys think about Di Matteo returning? I think he did a great job at Brom and was a bit surprised when I heard he was sacked. I'm pleased Roberto is back, as there is only one Di Matteo, but it's an interesting appointment as apparently Di Matteo only took training twice a week at West Brom and left the rest to his staff, so I'll be interested to see exactly what his role will be. Still, glad to have him back Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

markyosullivan Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 I wonder if Nathaniel Chalobah and Billy Clifford can get a few games for the first team this season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Philip Rolfe Posted July 13, 2011 Author Administrators Share Posted July 13, 2011 Masek is slightly complicated by the fact he only turned 16 on Sunday and because he went to the U17 World Cup is still on holiday. I expect it to happen but the radio silence on it is for a reason right now. Depending on favourable Cup draws, Nate will get some playing time, I'm almost certain. Billy would get a Carling Cup look in but I expect him to go on loan after Christmas as he'll be 19 and therefore the club will consider it (almost never loan 18yos out). He's off to Colombia next week for the U20 World Cup though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

shanyi Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 Thanks for posting the Wycombe highlights. Not that they're exactly a reliable source, but The Mail are saying that Chelsea are going for a year-long loan with Parker and a seven-figure fee. (So not £25m, then). I'd be surprised if he came back given how he'd surely be backup for the most part and didn't exactly enjoy that role last time he was here, but he wouldn't be bad squad-filler while Essien is out.

Dan_rm Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 Phil, Hicham Khaloua is going to England on Friday I think. He was meant to go last week but didn't have a passport. Apparently Liverpool have said they'll be able to get some kind of scholarship from the English FA so he can live in Liverpool for a year if there's problems with his nationality.

matt1389 Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 Hello everyone. For the first time in ages I felt really excited by Chelsea when Vilas-Boas signed up. Waiting to see what we do with transfers, but the fact we seem to be taking our time pleases me so much. Onwards and upwards! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oypus Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 We've also seen exactly why I advocated selling Essien about 6-7 weeks back too Stupidly negligent of Chelsea to let it happen though. Hindsight is always 20/20, I'm afraid. Pretty sure it was in his other knee, it's quite unlikely anyone could have seen that coming. Ah well. I've got a month head start on him in recovery from that injury/surgery. The race is on. Should be interesting to see just how soon he's rushed back...I truly am devastated by this though. I have a feeling we've seen the last of his glory days, for certain now. Always will be my favorite player. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt1389 Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 Hasn't he done both knees already? I love Essien, he's one of my favourite players and I wouldn't have wanted us to sell him. However, even through my tinted spectacles I could admit that he wasn't what he was and that it would be a struggle to get back to what he was.

Benoit2 Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 Did anybody read Redknapp's comments on Modric the other day? About Modric being the nicest guy and never handing in a transfer request. Other types of player would do that but Modric never etc. I thought those comments where awful. Instead of saying Modric would never hand in a transfer request being he simply doesn't have a good reason for it (like a chairman not breaking a promise), he is essentially gambling on Modric to just shut the hell up and be treated like a moron. Good on him to have handed a transfer request yesterday then Wouldnt mind having him now tbf. Looks like the type of player we need and has a great mentality. ****ing of the spurs fan is just an added bonus now Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
