dyabman: Im just providing insight my brother . . . . not all that glitters is gold . . . . . consider where we could be with a manager who signed the right players. . . . I am talking Ribery, Torres, Ibrahimovic etc. . . . at least Torres and Ribery were offered to Chelsea. . . . . players who were within our grasp but got overlooked for the machines currently in our squad. . . . when you have skilful players like this, everybody would want to come to Chelsea. . . . you create a dynasty and you dont have to spend so much cash to keep winning. . . . |

I AM CHELSEA |

Jose loved his machines. JM's ability to grind out results with his machines would be undermined by a too creative player, hence his dislike for such. However, Scolari failed to realise that you still need a machinic backbone with strict discipline for your creative sparks to work. |

You're right. A combination works best |
Re: Chelsea Fans: Identify Yourselves Here by mykali(m): 7:19pm On Jun 02, 2009 |
what style of play does Ancellotti employ? i really didn't watch much of Milan's matches. |

I thot FBS said he wasn't in a mood to argue. |

switch47: nateevs: my mind must be playing tricks on me. |
Re: Chelsea Fans: Identify Yourselves Here by switch47(m): 7:50pm On Jun 02, 2009 |
@MYKALI u no well-------------- see what yu are sawing, is you a spirit?? |
Re: Chelsea Fans: Identify Yourselves Here by Ibime(m): 8:33pm On Jun 02, 2009 |
nateevs: Whichever journalist wrote that must be having a laugh cos Dembele is a striker, not a midfielder. |
Re: Chelsea Fans: Identify Yourselves Here by nateevs(m): 8:37pm On Jun 02, 2009 |
To be fair Ibime I should have corrected that myself. . |
Re: Chelsea Fans: Identify Yourselves Here by FBS: 8:40pm On Jun 02, 2009 |
Ibime:You are a bloody Arrow. More annoyingly you are in a self denial of the obvious. No offense meant but that was the plain truth. 1. Maybe I should have put it in a different way. AW changed his football style but not his attacking philosophy. I say congrats to him but what are the results. Trophy less seasons and a brand new stadium? maybe that is enough for you. 2. What is this about how much JM spent. Ok Imagine this. You are a president of a race team. I sell you a E-class Benzito for 20 million, you hire a good driver, pay him heavily and he wins the race not once but TWICE. Nateevs buys the same benz for mere 3 million and did not even finish the race. . Now tell me what was your secret of success? That is your take home assignment. Sometimes you forget how Chelsea is managed and the objectives before the managers. JM 's first objective was the EPL, which he achieved. The UCL proved elusive. . .and well the rest is history. But meanwhile check our trophy room and tell us if it was like that 50 years ago. Take my advise and remember that Winners are never criticized. They are only envied. If you want the Barca mentality then why not support the club or even arse-anal. the poorer version. Now if you don't mind. I'd like to watch Naija play. Its been long I heard our national anthem. nateevs:@Nateevs. I'm still not in the mood. |
Re: Chelsea Fans: Identify Yourselves Here by Ibime(m): 8:41pm On Jun 02, 2009 |
O boy Naija dey play, you dey type long ting. . . |

TRANSFER NEWS . . Roman reportedly has put in a bid of 80m Euros for Kaka. . . Crazy move . . crazy money . . While at the same time he may have signed for Real Madrid 65m Euros. . |
Re: Chelsea Fans: Identify Yourselves Here by nateevs(m): 11:03pm On Jun 02, 2009 |
Apparently Roman is trying to hijack the Kaka move to Madrid. . . Reports saying Kaka hasn't signed for Madrid yet. . . |
Re: Chelsea Fans: Identify Yourselves Here by MrCrackles(m): 11:05pm On Jun 02, 2009 |
nateevs: Kaka wont play for Chelsea, dont get your hopes high! |
Re: Chelsea Fans: Identify Yourselves Here by jalether(m): 11:10pm On Jun 02, 2009 |
@ crrackles, who is he gonna play for, arse anal |
Re: Chelsea Fans: Identify Yourselves Here by nateevs(m): 11:28pm On Jun 02, 2009 |
MrCrackles: Oh get the phock outta here . . . You think I want Kaka. . . ? |
Re: Chelsea Fans: Identify Yourselves Here by cabali(m): 11:37pm On Jun 02, 2009 |
i am not interested anymore in kaka myself. He can go to real. |
Re: Chelsea Fans: Identify Yourselves Here by nateevs(m): 11:56pm On Jun 02, 2009 |
I never wanted him here - not becos of lack of ability but for the sheer amount of money expended to achieve that. . It's stupid to bid 80m Euros for a single player. . Some will make a reason in shirt sales . . How about making the Kaka? I'll rather put in £20m bid for Pato, £30m for Aguero Eden Hazard, Gorcuff any two of these brilliant and upcoming players and I'ld still have change from the Kaka money. . . Not to even talk about £150,000 a week for 4 years . . when we could buy 2 good youngsters on a £50,000 a week wage and still have change . . Plus you can't sell Kaka to anyone after a season with us for more than £15m. . . |
Re: Chelsea Fans: Identify Yourselves Here by nateevs(m): 11:57pm On Jun 02, 2009 |
TRANSFER NEWS In continuation of the Edin Dzeko story . . . Bosnian media report that Edin will make announcement of his new club tomorrow. . . Fingers crossed. . . |
Re: Chelsea Fans: Identify Yourselves Here by mukina2: 12:37am On Jun 03, 2009 |
Kaka joins Real |
Re: Chelsea Fans: Identify Yourselves Here by nateevs(m): 12:51am On Jun 03, 2009 |
Kaka's move to Real on hold as Chelsea put in 80m Euro bid . . . Real won't do that much . . Real offering 65 + one of Sneijder, Robben, Drenthe, Pepe, Gago . . . Unbelievable! All because of one player. . . This is madness. I will take Sneijder, Robben and Drenthe in a flash. . . Maybe we should cut a deal with them to let them buy Kaka for 65m and we get Sneijder or Robben for £10m . . |
Re: Chelsea Fans: Identify Yourselves Here by FBS: 6:44am On Jun 03, 2009 |
What is this world coming to? The way amounts just pop up? where the heck do the get the money from? and Now Barry goes to Citeh. Tevez also on his way? |
Re: Chelsea Fans: Identify Yourselves Here by nateevs(m): 8:16am On Jun 03, 2009 |
TRANSFER NEWS Reports coming in suggest that Chelsea have signed Manchester City Striker Daniel Sturridge on a free. |
Re: Chelsea Fans: Identify Yourselves Here by FBS: 8:23am On Jun 03, 2009 |
I like the guy and he already has EPL experience but how exactly does he fit in? Whatever happened to our youngsters |
Re: Chelsea Fans: Identify Yourselves Here by Nobody: 8:54am On Jun 03, 2009 |
Chelsea has signed Daniel Sturridge from Man City |
Re: Chelsea Fans: Identify Yourselves Here by nateevs(m): 9:11am On Jun 03, 2009 |
FBS: He is good, if he turns out exceptional it won't be a matter of how he will fit in but who won't play when he does. He is young, talented built by and for the premiership and comes for free. . . He could be worth £40m in the future if things go well. . . Hope he sorts out his arrogance though. . . He won't get to the top with that attitude of his. . . @Ibime If I am right, Chelsea will have to pay Citeh some compensation because he is under 24. . . . |
Re: Chelsea Fans: Identify Yourselves Here by dyabman(m): 9:12am On Jun 03, 2009 |
A good left kicker , very promising |
Re: Chelsea Fans: Identify Yourselves Here by Ibime(m): 9:20am On Jun 03, 2009 |
nateevs: He's not arrogant. . . . his uncle Dean Sturridge was the most humble footballer you'd ever meet. . . . he used to live near us in Lichfield back in the day. . . . Good signing. . . . but what happens to Di Santo. . . Also, Daniel asked Man City for £55,000 a week and they refused. . . . I hope thats not what we offered him. . . . In other news, Didier Drogba has been offered a new three-year deal. . . . BTW, Kaka is not the same player he was. . . . lacking that burst of acceleration that made him stand out. |
Re: Chelsea Fans: Identify Yourselves Here by Ibime(m): 9:27am On Jun 03, 2009 |
Meanwhile, I am impressed by Ancelotti's physical conditioning methods. . . . http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-1190417/Secrets-smuggled-Milan-revive-Chelsea-pensioners.html [center][size=14pt]Roman keeps Drogba and hot-house secrets will extend his career[/size][/center] . . . . . But, with the new Chelsea manager a confirmed admirer, the club have relented and will try to end the injury problems which have dogged the last few years of Drogba’s career by employing the secrets of AC Milan with which Ancelotti turned his players into the world’s fittest footballers. The new Stamford Bridge manager is due to meet Glen Driscoll, Chelsea’s physical conditioning coach, to talk him through a pre-season training programme designed to extend the careers of an ageing squad. Originally formulated inside the closely guarded MilanLab, buried deep inside Milan’s training ground near Lake Como, a team of technicians used the programme to extend the careers of Alessandro Costacurta, who retired at 41, and Paolo Maldini, who quit at the end of this season aged 40. The secrets of the age-defying process are in Ancelotti’s briefcase, perfect for a club with nine players over the age of 30 - the team Sir Alex Ferguson famously predicted had peaked under Jose Mourinho. Chelsea’s pre-season programme, which begins when Ancelotti addresses the squad for the first time on July 1, will involve rigorous testing of the players’ physical condition, their ability with the ball and a psychological analysis. It is the programme used on Andriy Shevchenko when Milan agreed to sell him to Chelsea for £31million, and correctly identified that the striker was past his best. David Beckham spent three hours in the MilanLab with Dr Jean-Pierre Meersseman, Milan’s head of medical science, when he joined on loan from LA Galaxy in January. Beckham passed the three hour ordeal, which also involved tests on eyesight and teeth and a thorough examination of his medical records, before his loan was approved. One test showed he had a higher VO2 max - the volume of oxygen that can be absorbed at maximum capacity - than many younger players. That session convinced Beckham that he could prolong his career beyond his predicted retirement age of 35, having been told by Dr Meersseman that it is possible to emulate the achievements of Maldini or even Costacurta if he followed their procedures. Chelsea’s players will undergo similarly thorough tests. They will also take part in a velocity test, designed to judge the players’ reaction to certain events, simulating match action and their capacity to alter their intentions. The MilanLab’s technical test will expose a few of Chelsea’s players, with lasers being used to determine the accuracy of their kicking with both feet. My view: Salomon Kalou will fail this test! The secrets will fascinate Chelsea’s players, who will be wired to undergo a strict strength test that is named after famous Russian mountaineer Vitaly Abalakov. Ancelotti’s methods, the brainchild of Milan president Silvio Berlusconi, are world renowned, often borrowed by the Italian national team who use Milan’s training base. Even injured players from other Italian clubs have visited the MilanLab as part of their rehabilitation. Chelsea’s training centre is built on similar lines, although Berlusconi added a basketball court at the request of Milan’s players, who often stay behind after training to shoot hoops. Abramovich stopped short of erecting a full-sized court at Cobham, instead shelling out for the single hoop that hangs off one off the buildings. It is rarely used, with most of Chelsea’s players heading home after lunch, but that is likely to change under Ancelotti. While Ancelotti’s assistant Filippo Galli has so far agreed to stay at Milan, the manager is attempting to persuade psychologist Bruno di Michele to work with him. Di Michele is credited with instilling the club’s winning mentality, opening the hearts and minds of the players to enable them to achieve greater success, putting past achievements behind them and looking to the future. After three years without winning the Premier League, Chelsea certainly need an injection of something. |
