Jones failing medical rumour is rubbish. Someone on facebook started it.

Apparantly Sunderland's bid of 12 million for the United trio has been accepted.

 

Sad to see O'Shea and Brown go. Gibson on the other hand... :dance:

so rumor has it, Essien plus cash or malouda for Weasly from inter.

 

I say go for it. Essien is one badass bull on the pitch but the injuries have not been kind on him; last season was horrific as well. He will be 29 this year and next tow years will have ACN so more chances of an injury. Ramires and Mikel are capable to cover our midfield. I love essien a lot but i feel his prime is past him.

has to be just a rumour.

why would Inter need Essien when they already have Motta n Cambiasso. n a def mid to replace the best attacking mid in Serie A????

C'mon.. Malouda's departure is still ok as he is no longer a lethal option... But, Essien.. absolutely NOT!! he had one bad season... lemme correct.. not even one but half a bad season & yu want him to leave?!!

For all the more lulz yu think Ramires (who goes down when touched even with a finger) & MIKEL (who is a perfectionist on how to lose possession) can anchor the midfield?? balls...

As much as I want Sneijder to be at Stamford Bridge,, I can't really see Essien, the muscle of our midfield, leave... If this deal actually materializes, then Chelsea has no choice but to go out in market for another anchorman or concede a minimum of a 10 goal deficit next season...

I'm all up for straight cash or malouda+cash deal... Malouda can also spark up his end days with glory in Seria A.. I think its a perfect option for him as well...

dude what ? obi mikel is one of the coolest if the the coolest heads in maintaining possession, seriously watch his close quarter ball control, and on current form is out best DM. I dont like us losing essien but its worth it if we get some one like weasly who can-

 

play in multiple positions, tip, cam, wings.

is an excellent set piece taker- our set pieces are so bad that drogba has to take corners instead of heading them.

feed torres with those OMFG balls.

Mikel has potential.. he always seemed to have it since the day I 1st saw him as a blue... But, Chelsea has given Mikel 0 chance to prove himself as a regular... He always seems confident on the ball... But, since he is always & always there to prove himself, from the bench of-course, his confidence in his ability seems so shaky that even his killer passes filled with confidence sometime goes straight into the feet of the opposition... I've seen it countless times..

If that happens to change his mindset once he is given a permanent role, then good!! Coaches know better though... Also, he is a bit slow when he has to chase back.. he gives up or commits a foul every time he has to... Right now, I wouldn't want him to command the backline of our midfield.. that is the strongest feature of this Chelsea side and i don't want us to be losing that!!

 

With that said, yes i want Sneijder for all the reasons yu mentioned above and more... But, not at the cost of Essien!!

Chelsea's new Away Kit!!

 

article-2001368-0C7AB59700000578-984_308x402_popup.jpg

 

Also, I can't refrain myself from a giggle... :fear:

The first thing they will see are turquoise squares set on a black background. As Sportsmail’s Des Kelly said in his column on Saturday, the theory is, it is to remind Fernando Torres what a net looks like.

:lol:

 

Also, Neymar not joining Chelsea, or so I hope!!!:fear:

According to his agent, Neymar is like Messi :doh:

OMG ! Chelsea are planning to sign the 18 year old Lukaku :O

 

That guy is a beast ! If he comes in and settles down to the fast PL pace, he could very well be the next Drogba :fear:

I love Mikel. Just before Makelele left Chelsea, there was a window of opportunity to sign him. Was begging Arsene would sign him. He didnt and we messed up. Mikel is such an amazing player who keeps the play ticking. And hes a very calm and composed head. Also a very good tackler and is not afraid to get stuck in. For me, if he is given the Pirlo kind of role, he would absolutely flourish.

@ madhav

 

same here, not sure why all the hype for Nymar. I dont think we need an expensive striker right now. Drogba, torres, Sturridge will do fine. Ship out anelka for lukaku and we have a good strike force.

 

UNLESS

 

Nymar is being scouted for wings, and if that is the case then their are better pure wingers out there.

He used to be more of a CAM before Chelsea changed him... The Nigerian coach still begs Chelsea to give him more of an attacking role!!

Lukaku is almost here... Almost!! & is a proud Chelsea fan himself... :D

 

EDIT: If yu check out some of his goals on youtube, in the blurriness all I see is a Drogba goal!! :fear:
