This rivals the Ibra deal as the worst deal of the summer.
£20 million for someone still showing potential at 25yrs and so injury probe that he played just 20 games last season, and has averaged less than 25 in recent years, is stupidity.
I guess tey need ed to replace kewell

FBS,

What did Van Gaal Say about Tymoschuk can you bring a quote from the coach and not some reported statement.

biina:

He said Van Bommel was captain and first choice ahead of Tymoschuk i.e. Tymoschuk gets the bench.

Milan Slam Chelsea’s Persistence Following Addition Of Essien To Pirlo Offer
Chelsea have been strongly linked with Andrea Pirlo, the Milan playmaker, over the past few weeks; however, the Rossoneri recently confirmed that their World Cup-winning midfielder was off the market.
Despite this, there have been some rumours floating around speculating that the Blues have added a further enticement to their bid for the ex-Inter player.
Michael Essien is the man that could go the other way if the Italian giants were to agree to this deal, but according to the latest words of Adriano Galliani, this will not be taking place.
“Chelsea have raised their offer by adding Essien? Pirlo has been removed from the market, so not even this would be considered,” the vice-president of the Rossoneri stressed to Corriere dello Sport.
“The matter is now closed.”
The London-based outfit are among the early favourites to take home this season’s English Premier League title; however, they are still keen to bolster their squad in the lead-up to the new campaign starting next weekend.

Hull City continues as the main player in the window today. They've also signed our own Seyi Olofinjana from Stoke city and Jay Altidore from Villareal.

France international Franck Ribery says the door is closed on a move from Bayern Munich, despite reported interest from Spain and England.

"I never said I wanted to leave to Real Madrid. If I wanted to leave, I would have announced it," said Ribery.

"The doors are truly closed. My bosses really want me to stay."
,

"What bothers me is that I never spoke," said Ribery. "Newspapers invent a lot of things. I can't prevent clubs from making offers. Moreover, there wasn't just Real. There were also Barcelona, Manchester United and Chelsea.

"What I can tell them is that today I am still at Bayern."

Hughes is a bigger idiot if he pays £24million for a defender of Lescott's quality.

The second transfer(Lescott) after the Ibra-Etoo transfer that seem preposterous to me.
Lescott and £24million shouldnt be mentioned in the same breathe but then. . . .
Plus i am sure Hangeland and Upson will do better and they cost less. . . Oh well

~Sauron~:

He is an English player. . . . .
Theo Walcott was £12 milla. . . . .an untested teenage Arrow from Southampton. . . .
If you consider the fact that Cristiano Ronaldo was acquired with the same amount, then you shouldn't lose sleep over Lescott.

SWP to Chelsea(£21 million), Glen Johnson(£18 million). . . .Should i go on?

kay_pumpin:

Oh yeah, i forgot to add that he is English. . . . bunch of over-rated tossers.
You will agree with me that SWP purchase then was due to Chelsea infamous profligacy and Glen's,Benitez's tactless foray in the transfer market.

As per Theo,he's worth every penny cos of his pace. . . .
