SEMTEX Posted May 22, 2007 Share Posted May 22, 2007 To be fair to Oliver, and it's not in my nature to be fair to the xenophobic wanker, a number of the nationals, particularly the Times iirc, were saying Sidwell to NUFC was signed and sealed a long time before he was. don't you fucking dare defend him. I dont want rational thoughts MATE, I want Oliver bashing. Now Fix That Post. NOW. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robster Posted May 22, 2007 Share Posted May 22, 2007 Maybe he got pressed on by his missus' thumb once they found out a London club were interested. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

tmonkey Posted May 23, 2007 Share Posted May 23, 2007 Ballack Lampard Mikel Essien Makelele Diarra Sidwell 6 players fighting for 3 positions. On paper, that completes Jose's target of 2 players for every position. Honestly think this move has been done with a view to shipping him out a season or two later for a decent profit. The theory being that that way, both the player and Chelsea end up winners: - Sidwell gets a few winners medals that he probably wouldnt get elsewhere so something nice for him to look at when he retires. Probably an England callup in a useless friendly because he plays for one of the big boys now. Gets good coaching so will improve slightly, gets to look good in the odd games he gets selected. Will no doubt recieve a nice wage and large signing on fee, which sets him up nicely when it comes to negotiating his wage at the next club. - Chelsea get decent backup for a season or two, sign a domestic player which is always popular with the fans and another step away from the Arsenal style all-foreign-eleven, get to make a nice profit as his value will probably slightly inflate when as mentioned he gets the odd runout for England, or gets to look good in the odd games he plays (or even better, if he gets a run in the side). Or maybe he is seriously going to get a realistic shot at first team football there. Ballack to be sold, Essien to be played as a right back, etc etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skirge Posted May 23, 2007 Share Posted May 23, 2007 If he is farmed out on loan the FA really need to start doing somehting about Chelski, it stinks ofd buying players just to stop other clubs gettign them, Sidwell must just be another greedy player because surley he knows he is never going to break into that first team..

Guest teepee Posted May 23, 2007 Share Posted May 23, 2007 maybe sam wasn't interested.... i think he might be looking for a bigger player, someone very good in the air, someone in the gary speed mould. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skirge Posted May 23, 2007 Share Posted May 23, 2007 I think it was a case of Sidwell not wanting it and not a case of Sam not wanting him, but would not shock me to see Sam go after someone like Diop.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tisd09 Posted May 23, 2007 Share Posted May 23, 2007 I cannot see how he will get many games at Chelsea next season. They already have an overload of midfielders, but saying that Ballack and Lampard may move on and Makelele(Sp?) is getting on a bit. If they all stay though then I see him behind all except possibly Diarra! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin Lol Posted May 23, 2007 Share Posted May 23, 2007 I suppose it is possible he could have been signed to cover missing personnel during the ANC but that's once every 2 years. I thinks he's made a big mistake putting Chelsea infront of a club that would offer regular first team football. Chelsea may pay him more but he wouldn't be poor irrespective of where he went.

Cajun Posted May 23, 2007 Share Posted May 23, 2007 If they get rid of all these players (Lampard, Ballack, Makelele etc..) do people honestly think Sidwell will be their replacement? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found the Makelele replacement theory particularly amusing - one of the truly great defensive midfielders in the EPL to be replaced by... Sidwell?
