S123arpedon Posted July 29, 2004 Author Report Share Posted July 29, 2004 Chelseas to me are fast becoming the team that everyone loves to hate! even more than Man U!! I for one hope that man U beat Chelsea on the opening day of the season! It would be great to se Chelsea win nothing again this season but i think they will win at least 1 trophy but the pressure willbe on to win the premiership or the Champions League. If Vieira goes to Real Madrid then i think Chelsea will be favourites...Vieira is too important to the Arse! Spurs get beaten 2-0 wby Rangers up at Ibrox...not looking good in pre-season for Spurs and Robbie Keane was stretchered off with possible ligament damage...not good at all. We still need another 4 players at least and now 5 if Keane is going to be out for some time...I wonder if Chelsea could loan us some players!! :shock: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S123arpedon Posted July 30, 2004 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2004 Chelsea beat Roma 3-0!! i managee to see Drogba's goal whilst waiting downstairs at reception this morning!! What i would have preferred to see would have been Dacourt smacking Kezman round the chops!! LMAO!! Reports say Chelsea were looking pretty good and fluid. Must thave been playing well is LIttle Joe Cole grabbed a goal...Heard it was quite a good one too... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cedric Posted August 1, 2004 Report Share Posted August 1, 2004 Was in Cannes yesterday to see Paris vs Lyon (the champion against the cup winner, as every year). Was good, and Lyon made a strong impression! Frau is gonna be a good striker this year. Must finished in Premier League one day... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S123arpedon Posted August 3, 2004 Author Report Share Posted August 3, 2004 Spurs have signed a new Swedish left back in Erik Edman. I am pretty sure he was the guy the crossed the ball for Larsson when he scored his diving header against Bulgaria. He looked ok and its good that the mangement team are strenthening the team in the right areas...another left winger, a good Centre back and possibly another striker, on a loan deal is ok since Keane will be out for around 2 months! Chelsea lost to AC Milan 3-2. Drogba scoring again. Liverpool lose to Porto 1-0 with what can only be described as a first team line up... Real Madrid launch an official 18 million pound bid for Vieira... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S123arpedon Posted August 6, 2004 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2004 The Vieira move to Real looks like its off since Vieira is not happy with the contract offer from them...apparently he is only being offered 80,000 pounds a week and it is less than the 120,000 pounds a week the Figo. Zidane and Beckham are on!! Poor guy! :shock: Carrick could well be moving to Arsenal but i think since the Vieira story has broken they are gonna be linked with every midfielder under the sun!! Bit of a step down from Vieira to Carrick though. Spurs have signed yet another player in Australian international Spase Dilevski from PSV Eindhoven. Frank going back to his old hunting ground for the good players!! I like it! Will be played onthe right side of Midfield but you have to wonder how good he is if he couldnt get into PSV's first team....still Frank sees something he likes in him so cant all be bad... Not long to go till the kick off now...are you getting excited?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S123arpedon Posted August 6, 2004 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2004 Looks like it wasnt A***nal that bid for Carrick but the bigger North London club...the mighty Spurs...best offer of 3 mil on the table. West Ham are our feeder club!! We got Defoe, Kanoute, and possibly Carrick...nice one!! Again Carrick is no Vieira but he will definitely be an improvement on the current stock we have...be good to see Carrick, Davis, Mendes and possiblky Redknapp oris he too similar to Carrick....still it will be an improvement on those lightweight fairies Anderton and Poyet....

S123arpedon Posted August 9, 2004 Author Report Share Posted August 9, 2004 Spurs look for have signed Atouba from FC Basle. The cameroon international can play left full back or left midfield. Kind of a utility plyer but will tka the place ot Taricco soon since he is getting ona bit. Taricco is 32 and Atouba is only 22. He has good chanpions leage experience with Basle. It looks like we are also signing Danny Murphy from Liverpool...I think he iwll be a good addition to the squad. Can score goals and will add a bit of steel to a weak midfield! I wonder if he will play agaisnt his old team inthe opening fuxture if he does sign?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S123arpedon Posted August 10, 2004 Author Report Share Posted August 10, 2004 Tottenham pull out of signing Murphy from Liverpool since that also cannot guarantee him first team action as he wants. Solskjaer is out for the whole season with the knee injury that kept him out for most of last season too. At 31 is his career over now? Carr is up in Newcastle having a medical and looks like becoming a Newcastle player in the next couple of days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S123arpedon Posted August 10, 2004 Author Report Share Posted August 10, 2004 Murphy is a solid player but nothing special...no-one is bigger than the club. No way will they allow a clause in a players contract stating he will be guaranteed first team football...i think Arnie has another couple of signings up his sleeve... We already have signed Mendes who is a CL winner with Porto, Sean Davis who was the under 21 England captain. Redder can still pass the ball well providing he is fit and his knees are up for it... We need a left winger still although we have Edman and Atouba recently signed...a right winger would be good too till Simon Davies finds his form and recovers from his shin operation...

S123arpedon Posted August 11, 2004 Author Report Share Posted August 11, 2004 LIverpool beat AK Graz 2-0 in the first leg of their champions league qualifying match. 2 goals from Gerrard. Owen on the bench since if he played he would be cuptied and not eligible to play if the team he moved to (cough, real madrid, cough) were in the CL. Looks like he will go now... Liverpool want Morientes as part of the deal though and possibly Man U are interested in him since it looks like Van the Man will be out till Ocotber. Beattie to Villa but only if they stump up 8 mil in cash... Who knows where Carrick will end up?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S123arpedon Posted August 13, 2004 Author Report Share Posted August 13, 2004 It looks likely that Owen will leave for Real Madrid now in an 8mill pound deal...not much for someone with his talenst and to think a couple of seasons ago he was being valued at around 50 mil. No chance in todays deflated market! Sours have signed Naybet from Deportivo. Not one for the future since he is already 34 but they did need a solid centre back to play with King or Gardner...they are both still young and could learn a lot from an experienced CB. I would have preferred Southgate but he can be offered European footy with Boro this season. Spurs are also reportedly after Figo. Last year with Real and will probably want one last pay day with another club. I doubt they would be able to match his 100,000 punds a week wages though... Hargreaves can leave Bayern if the right offer comes along. Spurs and liverpool are reportedly interested... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cedric Posted August 13, 2004 Report Share Posted August 13, 2004 Dont worry for Liverpool... Owen will be forgotten easily with Cisse! Monaco is coming back to Champion's League! Will they make such a big year as last season? Not sure, but they made a really good recruitment with Chevanton, Kallon, Maicon and Perez...

S123arpedon Posted August 13, 2004 Author Report Share Posted August 13, 2004 Cisse has been looking pretty impressive in pre-season. I hope he doesnt have a good game against Spurs!! Is Deschamps still manger of Monaco...I thought after the CL last season he was going to leave and take over somewhere like Juve?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S123arpedon Posted August 14, 2004 Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2004 Henry will be top goal scorer this season again...You are right that Drogba and Cisse will be right up there too but Henry edges it for me since he seems like the complete striker.. Owen to Madrid and Eto is off to Barcelona. Will Beattie end up at Villa, Charlton or Spurs? I think Man U will go for Rooney but not till the January transfer window... All kicks off at White Hart lane in a few hours...COME ON YOU SPURS!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
