Question Ashley Cole

According to reports looks like Ashley Cole is joining Chelsea , which is great for us, but it looks like Wayne Bridge will be leaving , which is fair enough, he wants to play.

Another one of our top class players gets sold on the cheap, reports say as little as £4million, to go with others, Parker, Duff, Carlton Cole, Huth, with Glen Johnson on loan, whereas we still seem to have to fork out top prices, wonder why .

Cant wait for the transfer window to close

I've heard that you'll be losing Gallas to Arsenal in a player + cash deal for Cole.

Also, if you ****** Torres from us, as you've done with Robben, Essien, Ballack and Mikel, I will not be impressed.

Oh...and stop ruining football.

He will keep him and stick him in the reserves, with Wright-phillips, Cudicini, Crespo, Huth, Essien, or is that the first team?

Well thats what you get for buying the EPL

Snap up all the good players then, when they can't get in the team or haven't played a few games through injury, or the usuall excues 'Boss i wanna transfer as i'm sick of warming the bench up Boss........SHIP them out

Why dont Chelski just put up with the squad that they have

They won it last season ,and by the standard's that are now coming into the EPL this season(Chelski exempt) they would win it again.

Mr AbramoRICH has made a tidy profit on the players he has sold
now is that good business? I think not, but this gezzer has more money than sense.

Ashley Cole £30 mill if he does not get into the team,or gets an injury do you think THE GAFFER will offload him in a couple of seasons for ...say £10 mill?

Shevchenko turns out to be a flop,how long will he last? and how much will he, be sold on for?

Newcastle United got two of your best players for Bargain prices because they had injury's and didn't manage to play as much(Parker) that is.Duff why did they sell him? make way for new blood..tossed to the side like a piece of rotten meat.

Last thing on Abramovich's mind is making a profit from the players, theyre strengthening the team because, believe it or not, there are other trophies they would like to win other than the EPL. Shevchenko is by far the best striker for the particualar trophy they have their eye on and made perfect footballing sence to buy him, regardless of what it costs.

p.s where is Duff to play exactly when Robben and Cole are taking up the wide positions and SWP is good enough back up?

You only think that about Cole because of the "discussions" he had with us last season, what do you think of Reyes? when he was blatantly caught out by that prank telephone caller last year .

Terry with anyone is the best

Gallas was quality before Mourinho arrived, still quality now, you can see why they want him to stay, did he play central defence under the tinker man ?? I can't remember, he used to put the goals away as well.

no doubt my opinion of Cashley has changed since all the stuff that went on last year. big shame because he's a born gooner.
As for Reyes, very different thing to me, spanish chap says on the phone he'd like to play for real one day..wow hold the front page..
