    Reading sign Wayne Bridge. Interesting. Seems we are only allowed to sign old washed up left backs, despite having players like Joseph Mills.

    Although I'm not sure we still have him actually.

    Oh that explains that one. We released 3 left backs.

    Shame Danny Wilson never ended up being anything, was so highly rated when he transferred, I think I remember a couple of people on here thinking he was going to be a future starter

    I was one of them

    It didn't help that whenever he did play, it was at LB. However, he didn't have the physical presence to play CB and was often overshadowed by Wisdom whilst playing for the reserves

    I'd dispute this; he was rarely bullied in Scotland.

    Shame it hasn't worked out for him but the fact that he's gone to Hearts is scandalous.

    Apparently Cesc is coming home.

    Loads of talk of Mourinho offloading all the Spanish players from Chelsea... we'll take Mata thanks

    Made up Bullshit probably.

    United strongly linked with that Monaco defender/dm Mendy on a free transfer. Supposed to be the new Makelele. Would be gun if he's that good.

    If we sign him would make Moyes' first two United signings <1.5mill :laugh:

    Interesting if true.
     
  10. Uppercut CB Faldo

    This seems really unlikely to me. Of course I don't think he'll go but it's just not the type of story that appears with no substance.

    The press sometimes make up stories to target people they don't like, or because they're eminently plausible (e.g. Fellaini to United), or because they're exciting for particular fans (e.g. David Villa to anyone). Even if you were going for the "big club randomly decides to get rid of best player" angle, it'd be a much better story if you listed a particular club that were in for him.

    Mourinho's just a racist bastard... it's why Chelsea fans love him
     
  12. Cevno IV Narang

    Nah, Mourinho selling x, y, z stories appear everywhere he goes initially when infact he hasn't sold everyone at the start at any club.

    Add, in the whole he is hated in Spain and had problems with Real's spanish contingent angle and it's a easy story to make up that he will automatically now consider selling all Iberian players at Chelsea. Admittedly adding Mata who's been their best player last season, is bit of a stretch but it will get more hits for Duncan Castle.

    New Chelsea managers always get more speculation than anyone else, too. I remember Scolari joining and the talk of the dream team he was supposedly going to assemble.
     
  14. Lukic L Popovic

    Lazar Markovic ----> Chelsea -------> Benfica on loan

    Very talented young player in the mould of Hazard. Portuguese league should be a good fit for his talents.
     
  15. Furball G Furball

    IIRC the Mata out story came from Marca...
     
  16. Uppercut CB Faldo

    Ah must just be bollocks then. They'll be out to get him.
     
  17. RyanG R Gee

    Apparently not. Markovic --> Benfica on a 5 year deal.
     
  18. Verigoat S Verigotta

    Just wait

    In a couple of yearts he'll go to a top Europe club for 30+ mil
     
  19. PienaarColada DH Mulray

  20. Lukic L Popovic

    Again, would not be surprised. Djuricic is better though.
