Avram Grant sacked by Chelsea!!

Sat, 24th May 2008

Chelsea Football Club can confirm that Avram Grant has had his contract as manager terminated today (Saturday, May 24). This follows meetings over the last two days.

Everybody at Chelsea FC would like to thank Avram for his contribution since taking over as manager last September.

We will now be concentrating all our efforts on identifying a new manager for Chelsea and there will be no further comment until that appointment is made.

I thought you expected this.
But he didnt deserve the sack.He ended up trophyless just due to luck.

 

[Kl@w-24]

After guiding the team to the CL final for the 1st time, I expected him to be given at least 1 more season.. Oh well!! If it's good for the club, so be it!

 

[Rahim]

Stop it guys. We all wanted him to get the sack. He is just not a big name to carry forward the profile of Chelsea globally

Roma wins The Italian Cup beating Inter 2-1.
Chelsea have made a bid for Robinho

 

[Kl@w-24]

Chelsea have made a bid for Robinho

Don't be suprised!! If u believe the papers, Chelsea have made a bid for every player that has 2 legs and can kick a ball!! And I wonder if Roman knows about the '100 million pounds' that the papers say, he has allocated for transfers this summer

lol...

Don't be surprised, they're carrying forward their legacy of buying players......

Jose ready for Blues comeback ?!?!?!


conditions for come back -

1. That he would have complete control of all football matters including transfers, first team and the academy.
2. Academy director Frank Arnesen — who Mourinho believes to be his enemy — is sacked.
3. That he could bring back all of his backroom staff with him.

Infact it makes sense considering their formation 4-3-3. Robinho cant play as an out-an-out-striker neither can he play in the midfield. So he can play on the left or right of that 3 man attack with Joe Cole/Anelka or Vidic's Lunch.

You're talking as if other teams' managers don't buy players, they pull 'em out of their ar$e
And plz, don't mention the so-called Arsenal "youth system"

 

[Arsenal_Gunners]

And plz, don't mention the so-called Arsenal "youth system"

Go check the youth squad of Arsenal and see the amount of local talent there.

Go check the youth squad of Arsenal and see the amount of local talent there.

By "youth system", I meant the facility which produces "home-grown" talent for the club. How many of those players do u expect to see in the Arsenal first team? I can name quite a few players who were once Arsenal trainees but couldn't break into the first team, and now they're well-off. Bentley, Pennant, Sidwell (OK, he ****ed up by joining Chelsea), Larsson etc. all used to train at Arsenal.

This situation is no different at any other big club, be it Chelsea, ManU or Liverpool.

 

[Rahim]

Just buying big name players wont do it for Chelsea. They have to gell together which will take time.
Wenger is very confident of buying Nasris. Good talent and will be better under The Proffessor.

 

[Kl@w-24]

Yup, Kenyon has suggested that this time we're not after established stars but rather those players who have the potential to be the superstars of the future. Guess that means younger players who are keen to showcase their talent on the big stage.

As for Nasri, he's quite a talent. I wanted to see him at Chelsea but still, if he signs for the gunners, I wish him all the best!

 

[Rahim]

Robinho havent exactly set La Liga on fire, so lets see what he can do in BPL

 

[Kl@w-24]

That is, IF he comes! If we start believing each and every story in the media, Chelsea wud right now be having Ronnie, Kaka, Eto'o, Torres, Dos Santos, Alves and God knows how many more in their team!!

Barcelona sign Seydou Keita from Sevilla

Both the Blaugrana and the Andalucian outfit announced the deal on their official websites following the player's decision to send a fax cancelling his employment contract.

That move meant that Barça will now have to pay €14m as part of the terms of the clause in his contract only a year after he signed for Sevilla for €4m from Lens.

Keita has put pen-to-paper on a four-year contract at the club's offices in Barcelona and the deal sees his new buy-out stand at a staggering €90m.

During his one season at Sevilla, the 28-year-old midfielder enforcer impressed alongside Christian Poulsen, who Bará were also rumoured to be watching, and that has earned him a high profile move.

After starting out with a youth club in his native Mali, Keita joined Olympique Marseille in 1997 and then moved on to Lorient after just one season l'OM's first team.

A two-year stint Stade du Moustoir followed before he moved to Lens in 2002 and enjoyed a very successful five-year stay where he became captain of Les Sang et Or

Keita's arrival at Barça should now spell the end of Deco's time at Camp Nou amid reports that he is set to move to Inter to rejoin his former coach José Mourinho at the San Siro.

This was so true when Roman bought Chelsea and they were talking about buying all big names like Stam, Davids, Ronaldo, Casillas and Abhishek
