Chelsea captain John Terry has revealed that he wants to emulate Milan legend Paolo Maldini in being a one-club man.

The England man reflected on the most successful season he has had with The Blues, as Chelsea claimed the Premiership title and the Carling Cup last term.

Terry was in Prague, Czech Republic, to meet Czech-based Chelsea fans after an invite from Blues goalkeeper Petr Cech.

It was there that the centre back admitted his desire to see out his career at Stamford Bridge and emulate the career Maldini has established with both Milan and Italy during his time.

"I love Chelsea and never want to leave Chelsea," Terry told the Czech daily Idnes.

"I also hope that one day I will be as good as Maldini."

I read somewhere that gilardino's agent said it would be up to parma where he goes, i.e who they get the best offer from. I know that gilardino would prefer milan, but at the same time, he said he wouldnt mind where he goes, chelsea or milan. Id love to see him at chelsea
 
Its official now that Milan is the only team to have bidded, and it seems it will be done by weds.

Anyway, Eto'o says no. Who else would Chelsea sign if Gilardino/Eto'o fail? Will it be Owen?

:lol: I bet you're still a bit worried Chelsea might rob him.

Ofcourse, since its Chelsea. But Chelsea need Kaladze more than we need Crespo, so theyre trying to keep it cool for now.

But if Chelsea get Gilardino, you'll need Crespo more than they need Kaladze.
 
If they get Gilar, they dont need Crespo as much, but still need Kaladze. Its kind of going in a cycle. But i honestly think hes going to join MIlan, its all over the news here. He himself said so, and also the vice president of Milan said so....in the same time hes the brother of the Prime Minister of Italy.... so if he promises Gilardino, id take his word.

Sky sports also says hes set for Milan, just waiting for Wednesday for the confirmation :D/

Chelsea don't need Crespo at all! Even if they get Gilar or not.
They need Kaladze, but there is a backup if that does not work out, Del Horno, so Chelsea aren't really in much of a tight situation.
 
Everyone is waiting to see who Chelsea's next striker will be. I hope you dont buy a new one every season. Eidur can still do the job IMO.

Eidur can do a great job! but can he do a job as good as a Adriano?

Why waste £50million finding out when you know what Eidur can do?

How can you say that when in your thread your saying get Owen in for Saha! :)

But Owen is a proven scorer in La Liga, Premiership and International level. Players like him you can put money into with confidence.
Not like Adriano who we have only seen doing great for Inter.
If you're in the Premiership, it safer to buy players from your league cuz you know how well the player will perform or atleast can perform.
Which is why it ok to pay £30million for someone like Rooney or for Milan to buy Gilardino.
Adriano isnt a safe option if he's gonna cost a fortune.
 
Adriano has proved it as much as Rooney has, Adriano was a success in Brazil, Inter, Fiorentina and Parma, and during the Copa America he was the hero of Brazil. Rooney had proven himself for England in the Euros... and United splashed out 30m.
 
wtf?

Nihat is expected to spend a season at CSKA before being moved onto Chelsea, if he impresses manager Jose Mourinho, where Blues owner Roman Abramovich also has an interest in the Russian club through his oil company.

Abramovich basically owns 2 clubs which he can take advantage of. His main club is Chelsea while he uses CSKA as like a feeder club.

You dont get my point. I'm trying to say that its safer to spend a lot of money on a player from the same league. Gilardino already plays in Serie A so if he joins Milan, he'll basically be playing against the same defence which we know he can do well against. It was the same case with Rooney.
But look at the players Chelsea have bought. Drogba and Kezman were both great goal scorers in their own league but sucked in the Premiership. And this is because its a different defence and a different style of play he has to go up against.
We dont know if Adriano can do as well against a Premiership defence but if Chelsea bought someone like Henry for about £50-60million, it would be a wise decision because we know what Henry can do in England.
 
Del Horno is officially a Chelsea Player, welcome aboard!

So Gallas, Huth, Terry, Carvalho, Ferriera, Bridge, Del Horno, G.Johnsen, Geremi(played right back a few times) damn =p! image fielding all of them at the same time, =P

i suspect Gallas&Geremi could leave.
 
Smertin can play in the defense too chelsea_fan!

Anyway im very happy, the ones with their places secured in the first team should be Del Horno - Terry - Carvalho - Ferreira. I think Gallas is perfect for the bench as he can come on for virtually any position in the defense. This means we will soon be seeing the disappearance of Wayne Bridge into an unused player. IMO Smertin, Geremi and GlenJ will be leaving the club in January/End of next season.

I hope Gallas does stay because he is great. Maybe a rotation between Carvalho and him can be worked out by Mourinho.

Now why would you want to do that?
 
Del Horno is great going forward but is shakey to say the least in his defesive duties, He wasnt first choice all season at Betis either!
 
Tough to say! Ashley Cole used to be great going forward and a bit naff in defence but he has turned into a great defender if Mourinho can do the same to him who knows! Put it this way if i was Wayne Bridge id fancy my chances at getting back in the first team! Look like the kaladze deal wont go through now, I wonder where that leaves crespo?
