Poyplemonkeys Posted July 15, 2006 Share Posted July 15, 2006 I think a couple of AC Milan players may well leave as the threat of this season without Champions League football and a big doubt of it next season given the points deduction could be a bit much for some of the less loyal players. Certainly don't expect a mass exodus though and they won't be selling on the cheap for sure. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Philip Rolfe Posted July 17, 2006 Author Administrators Share Posted July 17, 2006 dammit Duffer's leaving, that sucks, although I've said he could leave for ages Do we get a replacement (assuming SWP is leaving) or is it set that Robben and Cole assume the wing duties in a 4-5-1 with Kalou in support and that we'll play as much with two up as we do the former?

JonTheGTFCFan Posted July 17, 2006 Share Posted July 17, 2006 I think he'll play with two up front much more often. We were struggling to break teams down in the new year - teams were getting used to it. That's why he moved to a diamond late in the season. Means we might see Sheva-Crespo partnership, hopefully it's as potent as it was for Milan two years ago... Oh, and did you intentionally leave SWP out of your summation of wingers?

There's every chance that he wouldnt want to stay after his contract expired anyway (end of forthcoming season) so to get something for him now is possibly the best course of action.

kingcav Posted July 17, 2006 Share Posted July 17, 2006 Valencia close to Del Horno deal Chelsea's Spanish international Asier Del Horno is poised to return to Spain after just one season after Valencia revealed they are close to signing him. Valencia president Juan Bautista Soler told his club's website: "Things are at an advanced stage. "We are waiting for Chelsea to send us some documentation and to finalise an agreement with the player." The 25-year-old cost £8m from Athletic Bilbao a year ago and made 25 league appearances for Chelsea last season. Soler added: "We are trying to make sure he will become a Valencia fullback but we have other options as a back-up. "He is a player that meets with the approval of the coach and the sporting director. If we can sign him it will be fantastic." Valencia sporting director Amedeo Carboni had earlier confirmed his club's interest, saying: "We are in negotiations with Chelsea and hope to solve the situation this week." Del Horno missed the end of last season and the World Cup because of injury. http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/c/chelsea/5176568.stm please be true.

Administrators Philip Rolfe Posted July 17, 2006 Author Administrators Share Posted July 17, 2006 Was more that he's expected to move to Spurs so he wasn't a guarantee to be at training. Mancienne's wearing 22 in one of those pics btw, and since everyone else pictured with a number matches with their actual squad number, could be an indication he's a fully fledged first team squad member.

shanyi Posted July 17, 2006 Share Posted July 17, 2006 So this is our squad at the moment, assuming that Del Horno and Damien 'pretty good' Duff ( ) part company. 1 Petr Čech 4 Claude Makelele 5 Mickaël Essien 6 Ricardo Carvalho 7 Andriy Shevchenko 8 Frank Lampard 9 Hernan Jorge Crespo 10 Joe Cole 13 Michael Ballack 14 Gérémi 15 Didier Drogba 16 Arjen Robben 18 Wayne Bridge 19 Lassana Diarra 20 Paulo Ferreira 23 Carlo Cudicini 24 Shaun Wright-Phillips 26 John Terry 31 Scott Sinclair 41 Yves Makabu Ma-Kalambay 42 Anthony Grant 43 Jonas Elmer 44 Michael Mancienne 46 Jimmy Smith William Gallas Salomon Kalou John Obi Mikel Hilário Judging by that list (copied from Juni's opener, if you hadn't noticed), we've got some spending to do. It's fair to assume that Crespo and Wright-Phillips will be on their merry way fairly soon, so we'll need a non-African striker to carry us through whenever the Cup of Nations pops up. A back-up winger would be handy, while cover in all areas of defence is vital. We've clearly got far too many central midfielders though, I still can't imagine why we bought Mikel (much less for £16m). The main players I'm holding out for are Zambrotta and Lahm, who'd be epic additions to the squad. Then leave Mancienne as our 4th CB, and bring in some hot youngsters on the wing (as we don't seem to have any quality young wingers in our academy atm). Sinclair can be our 'extra' striker, behind someone like Gianpaolo Pazzini, who can be our European backup. Oh, and I reckon our first choice XI next season will be: P Cech- P Ferreira, J Terry, W Gallas, [new guy]- F Lampard, C Makelele, M Ballack- A Robben, D Drogba, A Shevchenko. SUBS: Hilario, Carvalho, Essien, Mikel, Kalou or [new guy]. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
