"The Chelsea Thread"

Rather than clogging up the forum with dozens of threads about rumours of people coming to Chelsea, I thought I'd try and get it all put in here.

Let's face it, every player with 4 limbs (or even 3 as Stu says) is going to be linked with Chelsea....

However I know that half of you will want to just s**g Chelsea off, as you do, so you may do htis in here as well, and Ashley and I (well volunteered Ashley :) ) will try and argue whatever you have to say.

Then there will also be the spammers who like to tell everyone about every transfer, even though everyone already knew about it 2 days ago.... Not mentioning any names of course, I'll let them stay anonymous.....

No i am agreeing i wouldn't be adverse to losing Geremi or the smerf. Want Joaquin and probably Kompany in. Joaquin cos he is damn good. Seen Kompany a few times and he looks solid and its hard to believe he is only 18, already and experience belgian international and doing so well at club level. Only 18 could join us, and fight it out with Gallas and terry but isn't going to cry if he doesn't get every game, like a lot of big names will.

I was just saying you guys don't need such a bloated squad, calm down, I wasn't knocking Chelsea. Any club that has Joe Cole is always assured of my support when they're not playing Liverpool.

Unless you want to sign Stevie again. Then I must judge you. Gerrard must stay.

And if he goes, I want Joe Cole involved as part of the deal ;)

No i'll admit Smertin is more than likely dire. Geremi could do a job if we used him properly on either right position. But right back is now out of the question. I'd rather we sold him but it is possible JM is intending to use him in right midfield were he played exellently with Veron (i saw the matches, i'm right!). He is on the other hand bolllocks in centre midfield, were i suspect he is being kept for. I admit i'd rather we loaned him out or flogged him. Same goes for the Smerf who is just unecessary and signed for his natioanlity.

You can't have a go at oliveira he is a young player who has hardly payed yet! why on earth did you single him out.

Babayaro is alright, not brilliant but solid and he is happy at chelsea, so we aren't going to get a much better left back who is prepared to warm the bench, so keeping him gives us good cover and keeps everyone happy.

You don't really need any of them, do you? But if you insist on those three, at least admit Geremi is dire.

Why?!?!?!

Smertin from what I've seen has been very impressive. Oliveira is a "hot prospect" as they say on Champo. Quality portugese winger with pace and skill, one for the future. Baba is another quality player. Been with us in the first team since he was 17, and is still only 24. One of our longest serving players.

I doubt it! I think you will laugh yourself to death. Which technically will stop your laughter, but then again stop everything else to.

I'm sure I'll stop laughing eventually.

I reckon Chelsea need to do a sale. Just outside the Bridge. Jose sets up a stall, puts Geremi/Smertin/Oliviera/Babayaro on it, and starts taking offers.

Defensive midfielders are for Sissy's. I want to see us attack. Our defence can do the defending.

The guy's a genius. Especially in the last home game....

Amusingly Batman is Kezman's nickname in Holland..........and we just signed robben!

How amusing!
