So.......
....... Ashley Cole finally joins Chelsea and Willie G goes to Emirates XI in a straight swap, plus £5m quid.
Robert Huth finally joins Middlesbrough for a fee in the region of £5m - £6m quid.
So as England prepare to face the 'mighty' Andorra at Old Trafford tomorrow afternoon, Chelsea's representation in the squad has increased to five.
John Terry (capt)
Frank Lampard
Wayne Bridge
Shaun Wright-Phillips
and
Ashley Cole
Why oh why did Chelsea keep going after Cole? And why oh why didn't Chelsea work harder in trying to keep Willie G at the club instead of off-loading him to our nearest rivals. Surely they had got the better part of the deal.
In Wayne Bridge we have a decent left-back who I feel is a BETTER player than Cole. In Boulahrouz we have a player feted by Jose who 'is a player that can play anywhere in the back-four.'
And we have 'Rickity' Ricky Carvalho who is presently JT's defensive partner Oh dear!
Oh happy days!

I think we did a good piece of business over all. Gallas has been saying for years that he wanted to leave the bridge. Even before Mourinho and Kenyon he wanted to leave which even though he is wourld class means that he hurts team moral. He only had a year left on his contract too, so I think instead of just letting him leave on a free we did what we could to used him as currency. Plus the fact that Cole is alot younger than Gallas and really wants to play for us. Cole was vaued by Arsenal at around 25 million pounds so gallas and five million seems like a pretty good deal seeing that I don't value Gallas at 20 million pounds simply for his age. Gallas is no doubt the second best central defender in the world behind JT but I think we had to unload him. Understand your frustration but I think we have fit the last piece together. As for Lord Percy aka Carvalho I do rate him as a good defender but one that can at times be quite careless.
Oh yeah, Added a link to your blog on mine.
I like the Lord Percy description for Rickity LOL! and link has been returned.
