Or how about Fabio Coentrao for the future:

@ Ibime

I disagree about Ben Arfa - the only reason he is being 'benched' is to force him to sign a new deal, its a form of punishment

Farfan is USELESS in my opinion, will never amount to much outside the eredivisie

Quaresma? Who is going to do this 'coaching' you are talking about? grant?

Of all the above, only Silva would really make sense, the others are crap.

Silva ko, Silva ni.

Too European in play jare. Limited athleticism. Nothing to make him standout.

Ben Arfa has potential, very confident on the ball, but he needs to score more.

Farfan I like. He no dey slack for front of goal. can hold his own in the physical game as well

GO BLUES

You don't make a player sign new contract by benching him. Plus Bordeaux are only 2 points behind so that would be a big gamble. He is on the bench for disciplinary problems and poor attitude. The boy is a hothead. As you know, he and Benzema hate each other.

He blows hot and cold but is definitely not useless. Sometimes I like him, sometimes I don't - right now, he is in my good books because of his great first leg performance against Fiorentina.

Fashi that thing. They said the same about Cristiano. I can bet on this guy. You want to bet that he will be a major success at his next club? How much?

Good point - but the guy touch, passing and understanding of the game is wonderful to watch. I went to Emirates to watch him against InterMilan and I have to say, you have to see this guy in the flesh to truly appreciate him. His vision and touch is amazing. But like you said, he may struggle in the Premiership for lack of physicality.

Dude now you're amusing me - Quaresma is stuck in his ways if anything, he is a 'big fish' - not very attuned to being 'recoached'

Ronaldo was a different kettle - he came in at 19 or something and got schooled

You missed the important part though, it was a tongue-in-cheek jab at your 'coach' Grant - what would he teach Quaresma? How to be dull and boring?

Disciplinary reasons/refusal to sign new deal - its all the same to me. Why should he love Benzema anyways? They both can't be the big fish at the same time - at 21, he's far more 'teachable' than a Quaresma would be and can blossom into a top class winger.

I still maintain my opinion on Farfan, flatters to deceive most of the time.

@Ibime

I know you like Quaresma a lot. . . not that I do not like him at all. . I just like players that maintain tactical discipline on the pitch and also one that knows that a team means a group of 11 players. .

I have seen several videos of quaresma and as much as I see alot of fantastic abilities, I see a lot of technical and tactical indiscipline, lack of respect for team players and show-boating and playing to the gallery. . .

The premiership does not condone that. Spanish and Portugese leagues could have allowance for that, the prem on the other hand is result oriented. . . and that sums up my stands on Quaresma. . .



To be honest the world right now lacks quality wingers. . . but I can still make do with Ben Arfa and Bentley. 

I know Bentley has not pace. . but he's very disciplined and tactically sound player. . he passes the ball well and the most decent crosser of the ball in the english league after David Beckham. . . He is not shy to take shots from 20 yards and scored number of times from outside the box. . have you seen him take free kicks?. . . he passes the ball very well and you can tell he's some beckham in the making. . You can't really use him with counter attacks. . . but very useful in build-up attacks. .

Ben on the other hand is quick . . and I don't understand what you mean by "he can't dribble". I think he is selfish. . and I know only players that can dribble are selfish. . .
He is young and will learn. . . .




Ribery anyone?

@Ibime @Somze

I broke a story this morning about Jose Da Silva Bosingwa singing for us . . . The news was from a portugese site and unreadable. .

Apparently sky sports have broken the news as well . .

http://www.skysports.com/story/0,19528,11667_3547063,00.html


and his profile has been updated on wikipedia as a Chelsea player. . . . even though I checked this morning and it wasn't . . . So I think he is Chelsea's now. .

The times have picked it up as well. . .

http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/sport/football/premier_league/chelsea/article3908230.ece

^^^Well, I'm happy although £15.8 is not cheap. His true value is probably £11m but we are Chelsea so we have to pay extra.

I am happy that our transfer deals are being done in silence these days, unlike before where we would chase players for 2 months and every week the price would increase.

As for Quaresma, I agree that he has lack of respect for his teammates - but like I said, he does not pull that shit when he plays for Portugal, he only does it at Porto. That is his nature and I cannot blame him cos Porto stroll the Portuguese league every season. I believe that with responsibility, you start to see a more mature Quaresma. He has seen his mate Ronaldo do it, why not him? Nani suffers from the same spirit, yet SAF is taking a chance on him. Remember that last summer, Mourinho tried to sign Quaresma. I guess Mourinho also saw what I see in him - a player of great talent, just waiting for the opportunity to confirm his greatness.

Oh my God. How them go pay 15 milla for that guy na

11 milla ke. 11 milla too much sef. 8 mil max. and if them no gree, they should tell them
to go and suck shit from Oporto suckaway.

The guy sucks offensively. He is an imitation of Abidal. Athletic but no skills.

I still maintain, Belleti should be trusted. He will lose concentration sometimes, but the boy more than makes up for
it up front.

^^^O-boy no dey yarn opata. Belletti is shite. Bosingwa is at least £11m cos many clubs were willing to pay up to £15m for him including Man Utd.


BBC Gossip:

If Chelsea lose out to Man Utd in the race for the title then Blues fans can console themselves that they have beaten their rivals to the signature of Porto right back Jose Bosingwa. The club have agreed a fee of £15.9m for the Portugal international. (Various)

The Stamford Bridge club are also eyeing a £20m move for Bosingwa's club and international team-mate, winger Ricardo Quaresma. (News of the World)

Chelsea are prepared to sell striker Nicolas Anelka, just five months after paying £15m to Bolton for him. (Sunday Mirror)

Jose Da Silva Bosingwa has truely signed for chelsea but I honestly think he is not needed in the team , he is another Mikel too defence minded, Chelsea also have so many defenders and I wonder why Jose Da Silva Bosingwa again

Message of Hope to fellow Chelsean.

i hope its not going to be Hope '93.

All the best guys.

My hope is more in Moscow jare

ready-made excuse

Why do we all say things about Bosingwa. . when what we are saying is not all true. . . He is all too defensive and not offensive . . . that is not true. .
He is actually very offensive and not too defensive . . but his pace covers up for him if he gets dribbled. .




Someone else said he has no skill . . what do you call this youtube of him?

Player Profile:

Watching Jose Bosingwa motoring tirelessly up and down the right flank, defending astutely and attacking menacingly, has become a spectacle within a spectacle at FC Porto’s matches over recent seasons. And at just 24 years of age Bosingwa has a collection of silverware that rivals many of Portugal’s better known players.

Common Chelseaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!

Bloody Hell John Terry is out. . .

. . . and United has scored!!!

I just had an opportunity to see the Penalty given to ManU and I can't believe it. .

Nateevs
Are you watching ManU's game?

What can u say about Benneth d ref

@ Nateevs

Why? Wasn't Rooney hacked down in the box?

The only thing is that Scholes was supposed to get a second yellow, but we all know the ground is slippery when wet!!!

What do you mean hacked down . . . ? The player went down to the ground to do a sweep and bring the ball forward. . and you call that a hack-down . . ?

well i know the fa will do mago mago just 4 united to win

And I just saw the penalty Rio could have given Wigan. . and paul scholes should have been out. . .

Its just sad how refs queue up to support manu.

FA are bunch of cowards.

How are we playing guys? I am watching the Wigan game. Wigan are really trying. The ref is being a bit dodgy though.
