Like we will really miss him most of the supporters were almost suicidal that he was going to stay

 

I think people are becoming savvy to Chelsea. With the amount of world-class players in your squad, it's inevitable that some will have their development or playing time restricted dramatically.

Fernando Torres (my good friend ) has recently labelled you a 'football factory', claiming that he would never even consider joining.

Granted, you've brought in some very strong players, but you've also lost Gallas, Crespo, Gudjohnsen and Duff, and I think that balance will start to shift to the departures and fallouts, rather than the acquisitions in the future - especially after we've knocked you off your f***ing perch.

Oh, and where's Lampard gone?

 

Like RVN did at OT

So thats one then Desailly, A.Cole, Zola, Shevchenko, Robben, Ballack ect, ect didn't seem to think along the same lines

Gudjohnsen had been there 9 years a had become a bit part player and 6 million was too good to turn down.

Am a bit disappointed Crespo has been loaned out and Duff sold.

As for Gallas he had to go, not turning up for training when supposed to and moaning and groaning about playing out of position

He was the one in central midfield for England yesterday

 

So that's one then.

As I said, I think you'll see a change in the balance in future.

That's funny, I don't remember seeing him on the ball.

Turns out we turned down Mascherano twice: http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/foot...td/5309852.stm

I can only presume because of the complications of the deal.

 

Roy Carrol, so thats two then

 

Apparently Gill said Fergie and the staff weren't interested in Mascherano,
"We had watched him last season but the manager and his staff didn't want to pursue him.

"While he is clearly a very good player it was decided he wasn't required at the club."

I'd beg to differ Gill

Roy Carroll PMSL you're scraping the bottom there Paul

I was disapointed with Ruud leaving but if you look at the team without him in it we got back to playing 4-4-2 pass and go hi tempo football, Ruud didnt like that, getting a bit slow in his old age

That said very disapointed we didn't replace him with Torres.

 

Was he not one of your internationals that got peed off sitting on the bench?

How many goalkeepers have come, got ruined, and left at OT?

Our players get bored of waiting for a chance to get in the team, yours fall out Funguson i.e Stam, Beckham, RVN

 

Carroll thought he was world class and wanted £40K + a week, and yes we did go through some keepers

One thing I will say about Fergie, when he got rid of Ince Kanchelskis, Stam, it never affected the team, I always thought we missed Becks somewhat but he wasnt the player he was when he left his head had gone by then, it remains to be seen if we'll miss Ruud, like I said he couldn't keep up with the pace, we probably wont mis "him" but we will miss having a world class striker.

 

 

Gudjohnsen will be chelski's biggest miss. The bloke is class and the best link up player they had.

 

& whats happening ! Tevez has been pants, Mascherano is holding his own but he's not an out and out goal scorer. All this buyout bollocks is not helping either. Come on Pards you know you can fix this.

Westham havent looked the fine oiled machine we was last season *flame jacket on the armchair*

 

South American footballers for you. Thought Tevez might have been a big difference though

 

Early days yet. I think they will find it hard to settle though whith the climate and language. I expect they are on good money as well which may upset the apple cart at a small club like West Ham.
