________________

COuld be a strange ass looking team next season. The Mail reckon a 4-3-2-1 is likely with the following players:

Cech

Ferreira
Terry
Andrade
Bridge

Costinha
Lampard
Robben

Morientes
Joaquin

Trezequet

Slightly worrying. The main worry is that players such as Scott Parker, Eidur Gudjohnsen and Wayne Bridge may all almost be forgotten amidst the young Europeans.
Who knows? It will definately be an interesting summer.

Be a very interesting summer at Chelsea. Jose will see them alright though, don't worry about that.

I have heard down the grapevine that he's not a Gallas fan at all though.

 

[woodie]

To be honest Gallas isn't going to be missed too much. He is the fastest player Chelsea have, and a solid defender but he is a complete muppet with the ball and he shouldn't be allowed into the opponent's box. Should just have JT on his own in the box for corners, goal every time.

 

[St Helens RLFC]

Chelsea's players are in for a hard pre season.

Jose is going to flog them to whip them into shape.

 

[woodie]

Yup. First pre season training day is the day after Euro 2004 ends. that will be fun for everyone. I suspect he will pick the side purely based on what he sees at the trials as well, not past form.

 

[woodie]

Paulo Ferreira has confiremed he is coming to Chelsea for £13 million and Mario Muppet Melchiot has confirmed that he is going. Two good bits of news.

 

[An Tarbh]

At least Mourinho is going to have a major say in new signings unlike Claudio so that's something at least.

 

[woodie]

yup. Mourinho ain't going to take any bullshit from Abramovich. He'll probably get sacked if he doesnt' want some of Abramovich's players which he has seen on TV and thought, 'mmm he's good, i want him'.

 

[St Helens RLFC]

In that case, I hope Jose gets sacked this week.

You can have Benitez.

How far have things come on since this???
