Yes its all down to us. Because Man Utd haven't spent any money, and pretty much branded football. They spent 30 million pounds, on one english moron, who can't even turn up for a drugs test.

And yet, people still think its only chelsea who are ruining the game.

No, I think your just moaned at because you're spoiling the game.

First we're moaned at for buying foreign.

Now we're moaned at for buying english.

You just can't win with some people....

Hahahahah.

John Collins, surely. Who has actually been at Fulham for three years.

I remember he scored for us at the World Cup against Brazil. Therefore he = great.

Reyes is 20 and full of talent but give him time.
I don't think Wiltord was that 'great' at all he never hit top form plus he thinks he play upfront but he doesnt score enough to take up that position he's better at right mid but still he can't cross or run properly down the pitch without losing the ball needlessly sometimes leading to us conceding goals. But we should thank him for that goal at the Theatre of the Gooners that won us the double in 01/02 season.

when i said "his time at arsenal is over", i meant for sylvan wiltord. i am sure that is a relief for arsenal fans, coz it looked like i meant wenger is going. which he aint.

that was a waste of money. a rare flop signing by arsene wenger, who has confirmed his time at arsenal is over and will leave in the summer.

Collins John... It's funny, because John Collins used to play for them, too! Imagine the confusion if he was still there...

"John, boy! No, not you Collins - I'm talking to JOHN, boyo!"


:D

And, I know I've had a little go-on about him and how we "could've done better" (which I still believe), but in Saturday's game against Souhtampton, I saw many-a good thing in Louis Saha.

When we think of him, we think of "that goal-scorer from Craven Cottage", when, infact, we're forgetting he begun his career as more of a `winger´ (like Henry and Bellion), as he was in his short-stay with Newcastle.

This, in my opinion, gives him a good chance of being the "ideal" man to play behind Ruud van Nistelrooy in that supporting-role; given that Paul Scholes NEEDS to be back in the centre of our midfield, where he belongs.


Saha DID much to impress me, though. I had a feeling he'd score, somehow, but, in the highlights I saw, he played a great part as a "team-player"; and not the glory-hunting self-centred Frenchman you'd come to expect after the number we've seen imported across the Channel (manly to Arsénal, of course).

My opinions on him have changed, though. I'm a lot more willing to actually give him a real chance at this. I think he could really do a great job, over time - even if he's still no `Eric Cantona´. And, anyway; with the game in the state it's in today, the No.9 shirt means `a lot less than what it used to´.


He deserves the time I'm going to give him. Good luck, Louis Saha! :D
(However, I still have doubts about him in Europe.... :P )


As for Reyes, though, what a reception for a man they clearly know nothing about! Just goes to show you how a large transfer-fee and some over-exagerration from the media can instantly make a `nobody´ "as good as Henry". He will prove to be a good signing, however. I have no doubts about that. I just like to laugh at how they love him for simply SIGNING for the club when no-one else would! :D

Whatever happened to £13m French-international Sylvain Wiltord, eh??? ;D

Scott Parker would easily be a great signing for any club... But, not Chelski. I mean, they already have enough. Like Joe Cole, he just isn't gonna get enough games. His 'hopes and dreams' will soon dissapear and he'll become "happy" to pick-up his thousands-of-pounds each-week before demaning at least twice-as-much with his move away from Stamford Bridge, in the summer of 2005.

Frank Lampard, Claude Makelele, Emmanuel Petit, Joe Cole, Geremi, Juan Veron.... Where does Scott Parker fit into all of this???

Ranieri has Lampard as his ever-present "complete midfielder". Alongside him, would you rather have `Real Madrid's´ FRENCHman Makelele? Or maybe England's hot-headed Charlton-boy in Parker...?


Once again, Chelsea are on their way to ruining another once-promising future-international talent for England! :P
