snakehips 0 Posted June 14, 2007 Share Posted June 14, 2007 He's gone to Chewsee. That's his problem. Move on. Anyway, didn't he do some dastardly cheating in some way (diving or summat?? ) a couple of seasons ago?? *just attempting a weak, moralistic 'we don't want that type here' point of view * Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaser 1321 Posted June 14, 2007 Share Posted June 14, 2007 Disappointed but if he thinks he'll push Terry & Carvalho out of the Chelsea side, then I think he'll be in for shock. Might pick up a medal or two there mind Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMoog 0 Posted June 14, 2007 Share Posted June 14, 2007 Bit gutted like, would have been a great signing. I can see why he'd want to play for a team in the Champions League with better players around him but I really think it could be a mistake on his part - he'll be another Parker or Duff where he'll on the bench more than off it (if he even gets regular first team footy). Damn shame, we could have offered him the smae money, nailed on first team footy week in, week out and probably after this next season regular European footy. Shame to see his talent wasted but it's his choice at the end of the day, he'll get international football and a decent wage whichever team he'd joined so I guess he's just happy to not have to turn out on the pitch much. Let's hope that whoever Sam turns to now as his next defensive target is equally as good as Ben Haim, it's a shame we missed out on him but there are others. Who knows, as someone else has mentioned we could end up with him signing for us in a years time anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Papa Lazaru 0 Posted June 14, 2007 Share Posted June 14, 2007 Can't blame him for choosing Chewsea. If he backs his ability he thinks he'll get a chance and stay in the team, and then he's playing for a team in the CL with a chance at any number of trophies. We could offer him a first team place guarenteed but other than that, he was always likely to choose them. Shame as getting him in on a free leaves more cash to spend on other players.

Noelie 103 Posted June 14, 2007 Share Posted June 14, 2007 I kinda knew we wouldn't get him as there were no real positive vibes from either Sam or him that gave the impression that we were in contention and let's face it, at the moment Chelsea has a more attractive appeal than we do. In a way I hope he ends up as a bench warmer like Parker, Duff, & Wright-Phillips and lives to rue turning his back on us. Shame we didn't get him but I'm sure we'll be in for more disappointments while the window's wide open. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shame we didn't get him but I'm sure we'll be in for more disappointments while the window's wide open. Nah, all the best to him tbh. He has no nexus to us if you discount the rather tenuous Allardyce factor and he certainly isnt under any moral duty to blindly follow a previous manager about. Chelski are obviously criticised for being boring but they've got an awesome defence and he's a defender at the end of the day so theres no criticism there either. He has the opportunity to win trophies there and if he has ambitions to do that then presumably he has ambitions to be part of that starting line up. Nee worries and all the best. Move on Sam, worth a punt but lets see who else we can attract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
@yourservice 67 Posted June 14, 2007 Share Posted June 14, 2007 Must be hell to be a Chelsea fan like,i mean,tom dick and harry every season,winning a trophy with a side that you'll probably not remember because of all the chopping and changing going on.Spoilt for choice etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Patrokles Posted June 14, 2007 Share Posted June 14, 2007 How's he greedy/money-grabbing if you assume we'd have offered him the same kind of wages? If he thinks he'd good enough to get into the side at Chelsea, then it's a no-brainer really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he thinks he'd good enough to get into the side at Chelsea, then it's a no-brainer really. The media in recent days have suggested that we refused to meet Chelsea's £60k pw offer. Now that doesn't automatically make him a mercenary but we'd be naive to think that it didn't have a big influence on him. He's a decent defender but he's nothing amazing and realistically the only opportunities he's going to get next year will be because of injury and if he had've got some good advice he would've been told to avoid the mistakes of previous players, but instead his agent is a bent mate of Chelsea's who no doubt convinced him to join them.

tinofbeans 91 Posted June 15, 2007 Share Posted June 15, 2007 ewerk, pretty much word for word thats exactly what i'd put. 60k a week for 15 games a season... not bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sammynb 3641 Posted June 15, 2007 Share Posted June 15, 2007 Unfortunately whether he is "a decent defender but he's nothing amazing" he's still considerably better than anything we've had for a long long time. Good luck to him hope he's ill or injured everytime we play them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tbf centre back was one position Chelsea were pretty thin on last season so I'd imagine he'd get quite a few games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ewerk 31600 Posted June 15, 2007 Share Posted June 15, 2007 Well it's unlikely that Chelsea will have Terry and Carvalho injured so much next year and I'd say Chelsea will be after another CB after they kick Boulahrouz out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
