Latest Transfer News
During the end of last season (more precisely during the end of the Scolari reign) everybody was saying that the squad had become too old, which in truth it has and that we needed some fresh faces. Then after Hiddink's arrival it suddenly seemed that Roman Abramovich had fallen back in love with Chelsea with big name stars being reported as targets for this summer. But things
have not gone quite the way that I hoped to. Lets look back at some of the players mentioned to be coming this summer. Kaka, Ribery, Villa, Pato and some others. Quite an impressive target list that. But who did we get so far ? NONE.
Obviously Roman and Kenyon have nothing to do with Perez taking over the presidency at Real Madrid and buying all the attacking players in the world for huge prices. But they should have atleast worked in getting some other targets like Johnson who will be signing with Liverpool. I do not know what they are doing with the transfer of Zhirkov. He comes out daily and says that he prefers Barcelona over us. Fine, if he wants that then so be it. We should start looking at other options.
So who should we buy now ? According to me we need a winger for which I would prefer Adam Johnson because he is cheap as he is out of contract, he is English and he needs to be in the squad for the quota of domestic players in the Champions League. A good goalkeeper as a backup for Cech in Ross Turnbull who is also available on a free and is English. Aly Cissokho of FC Porto as a backup for Ashley Cole and a midfielder who is happy on the bench because of the African Nations Cup which comes around in January due to which we will be losing Drogba, Kalou, Mikel, Essien.
So that is four positions which needs to be strengthened. Sturridge seems to be arriving from Manchester City so it should strengthen our striking options.

Deco slams Roman
Sorry guys, I have been away for a while and have since not been able to update the blog. But now I am back and lets get on with what is going on in the latest transfer market news. Signed by the Scolari as one of his untouchables for £8 million from Barcelona, his first two games were outstanding for us but ever since he got injured in the warm-up during the Manchester United
match he has been absolutely been rubbish. After Hidding took over from Scolari he has been a regular bench warmer. So it would not be a complete shock to us if he left the club after such a miserable season. Jose Mourinho now at Inter has recently revealed that he would like to take Deco to Inter. Deco also revealed that he wanted to leave the club.
Now Deco has come out and said, "Chelsea are kind of his toy. Sometimes Abramovich makes decisions that go over the head of the director of football."
Everybody knows that Abramovich sacks managers pretty quickly when things don't go properly. But come on, should Scolari be given more time in the situation we were in during february. We could have finished out the Champions League qualification places, we could have had a second consequtive season without a trophy if Scolari continued. The FA cup victory clearly would not have been achieved if not for Hiddink.
So Deco we don't need you to tell us how good Roman is. So instead why don't you pack your bags and leave.
