Chelsea in for Maniche?

[Bailo]

Here

 

Are they buying him purely to a) fill Essien's place when he goes to the ANC and b) to stop the Mancs buying him?

 

Where the hell is he going to play?!

 

Weird, this is what I'm worried about, not buying the best players but buying whoever their rivals want.

[chrisbonnie]

i wonder if they just keep buying the way they do that UEFa or possibll Fifa put a limit on how much a team can spend in the calender year

 

only for the transfer window, as soon as 1 player was out for more 3 weeks, they`d replace him, its a scary thought

 

BUT

 

dont forget, not everyone can play, im sure SWP is regretting it every day, seeing as he`s not playing, he couldnt even be match fit with the little amount of games for them

 

and that list could well and truly go on, world cup year, you`d imagine most players would wanna play, well, we`ll see by whom they sign in the transfer window

Like Man Utd buying that Serb?

[Nerik]

I was actually surprised when Mourinho did not take him with him to Chelsea. Maniche was a lynchpin in his Porto side.

The move to Russia was very weird and I always felt it was just a matter of time before he'll go to Chelsea.

[jimmylibel]

Good player - would rather see him go to Chelsea where he isn't needed than to the Mancs where he most certainly is needed.

He was getting to know the system in the Chavs Reserves team

[CarraLegend]

You can imagine the c***s all in the office

 

Jose "Roman, Essien is away for a couple of weeks in January, is it ok if we go and sign someone for about 10m and give him a massive contract for a few years, then when Essien is back he can rot in the reserves?"

 

Roman "No problem, you can have 50m if you want"

[Eiler99]

He's named after Danish striker Michael Maniche who played for Benfica.

[Stevie H]

they'll sign someone to cover drogba yet as well. probably someone s**** like adriano or summat.

If they have any sense they'll offer us £25m for Peter Crouch.

 

And we'll tell them to f*** off.

summat is crap, i hope they get him

[sbaros]

He'll make a big mistake if he goes there, he might play 3-4 games while Essien is gone, but nothing after that.

 

Why the f*** are the Manc now linked with Evra though? 1 defender aint enough? Happy with Fletcher and Smith in the midfield? Hope so

I thought he'd already agreed to go to Atletico Madrid

Ye, I don't understand that, especially with Heinze due back in a couple of months. Slur Alex must either have someone lined up for midfield or is seriously losing the plot. Smith in midfield is one of the biggest jokes in European football. As for Maniche, he is a very good player, and I hope ManUSA are not in for him, and that he ends up in Spain instead.

 

Chelsea buying everyone in sight is beyond ridiculous.

Not really. Quite plausible really given that Abramovic probably owns them.

Aye and Duff didn't look to happy when he was taken off against City....

[Guest Red in Holland]

Its not too late for SWP. He should just tell his agent to give Rafa a ring..

 

You never know.

Yes.. I think Duff and SWP chose their stall in the end. Duffy would prolly have rather played for us, especially now. Blackburn and Man C wanted big bucks, and along came a money tree..

 

As an arld fart I shrink with horror, but I still trust Rafa to beat em with less resources available. You can't buy the heart and effort on the pitch. Rafa gets the 150% out of his players, I am yet to be convinced that Mourinho does.
