Ballack, Cole and Belletti released by chelski today. 2 excellent players and one pretty good squad player, they must be going to spend big. Schweinstieger is supposed to be on his way for 25mill.

saw that clagan.
talk about interest in goal from man u, spurs and the queens gunnery.
there is a good chance he'll opt to stay in London but ya never know.

id imagine ballack will go back to bundesliga with tail between legs.

its going to be interesting who mourinho brings to the spanish government XI

[clagan]

Cole looks a cert for Spurs. brilliant player when fit, like Maloney but at least twice as good.

i thought Ballack did quite well at chelski, he wont be going home with his tail between his legs.

he wasnt as effective as he should have been for the outlandish money he got in his stint there.
he'll niot get that kinda money again

[clagan]

fair doo'z mate, his wages were extortianate and he wasn't the player he was at bayern or leverkusen. rumour is he'll go to madrid but i was under the impression he was an Ambramovich signing rather than a mourinho one, so doubt jose will want him when he could have cambiasso.

[niall]

pity we couldnt tempt cole

[clagan]

looks like Milners away to City for 28mill, wonder where Stephen Irelands going to move to then?

thats ridiculous money

[clagan]

indeed, but not surprising. always liked him, its indicitive of the EPL though, any young english player is worth twice what a continental player of the same calibre would cost. especially with the new rules about having a certain amount of english players in the squad.

Cole was supposed to be going to City, I liked him but he isn't a big lose.

[clagan]

i'd be surprised if Cole went up to manchester. he's a cert to go to Spurs imo.

good point. He is decent player but nowhere near worth that

Tevez to Inter, Ballack to Leverkusen and David Silva to city are the big rumours today.

aye, id get the fuck out of here

Raul to Man Utd? they need to aim a bit higher to get anywhere near Chelski this season.

Villa in for Pienaar for 12mill. MON has spent an absolute fortune putting that team together.

City fans must ba laughing their arses off. after being second best for so long they're now the ones signing the quality players. loved the City fans with their "hate United, love the Glazers" flag last season.

never seen that. Have to admit I hate city though, small club, small mentality

[clagan]

nouveau riche mentality mate. i really enjoy watching them and always have, always a very attacking team. i'd like to see them finish above united next season.

[Ryan67]

Rumours going about that Bennayoun is set to join Chelsea.

[clagan]

i really rate Benayoun, when he plays he gets goals. i'd rather have him and Cole but he's gone. Schweinstieger to replace Ballack is another cracking move. United need to get the finger out.
