Another West Ham product (Michael Carrick) destined for big things. I hope theres a clause somewhere in his contract which sends some funds back to West Ham .

Thats what happens when u get relegated lol.

You will be missed Keano. Thanks for the memories, mate.

 

[LMF^^]

The Daily Star reported that Ruud and Fergie have made peace and he'll stay at United. God I hope that's the case.

Similarly to Henry for Arsenal....keeping Ruud at the club will be the best transfer we make all summer. Hopefully he can make peace with Cristiano as well.

Good on ya Eidur.

Would have liked to see him stay in the Premiership but hopefully he gets good game-time under Riijkard. Champion player.

Chelsea target Germany's Lahm
Chelsea are prepared to offer £10.25million to sign Germany full-back Philipp Lahm from Bayern Munich, according to a report in German newspaper Bild.

Does Chelski really have to buy every football player on the face of the planet?

 

[Constip8edSkunk]

ireckon its moreof a ploy so that rivals dont get the player as opposed to buying them for the usefulness..

West ham sign Jonothan Spector. He's good, but I think we needed another World Class defender instead.

Well, he is from the MU Academy.

 

[kiran107]

Players (who are not world class) that sign for Chelsea FC now must be the most stupid individuals on the planet. They're certainly never gonna get a chance to play besides the "much coveted" Carling cup. I still cant understand exactly y SWP signed for them, the dumb ass is still warming the bench back at home in England, and NOT in Germany. Just goes to show exactly wat u get out of Chelsea football club if youre not world class. Would u try to break into a football team with the likes of Lampard, Cole and Robben as ur competetion...i think not!! Well except if ur Ballack or Shev.

Chadwick was seriously the next Giggs before until he went to Upton Park.

Luke also had the dubious honour of being voted 'Premiership's Ugliest Player' in the 2002/03 season.
