Well not really, maybe two months ago or so, but now we have a new manager with a seemingly backing board room, the clubs still one of the best. Liverpool or Tottenham great players aren't going to go Spurs just because they finished higher.

Celtic sign South Korea defender Cha Du-Ri

Burnley sign Ross Wallace from Preston

Chelsea sign Yossi Benayoun from Liverpool

Man City have now officialy signed Yaya Toure

Chelsea let Joe Cole go and bring in Benayoun as replacement. To be honest I wouldn't have minded a swap deal! Hopefully we can go in for Joe on a free transfer though.

na he wants champions league football haha

LOOOOOL

Good joke.

He will get Champions League games with us...

he will go spurs hopefully

I just dont know why...bloody benayoun?

What a pathetic purchase, Abbas' greatest hits would probally score more goals than him.

Especially when we release J.Cole, and sign him for a replacement HAH!

Seriously dont no what the fudge they are thinking, pathetic.

hahahaha yea he is woefull

Cleverest player I've seen play for Liverpool, Benny was quality.

The little Isrealy.

havnt seen cole getting many hatricks benny got 2 or 3 for us

still aint good enough for chelsea

yeh so quality he done what magic moments for us...gud squad player nothing more thank chelseas for the 5 mill....Benayoun or joe cole what idiots they are

benayoun is a goood player

well i think he is

brilliant feet

wont be a big player though he'll be a player to play if someones injured or playin a team like blackpool etc..

30 odd goals playing from the left wing in a hundred odd appearances ain't too shabby, great buy.

Shut up ya negative git.

Yossi was magic, hatricks, assists goal in the Bernabau, skills and plays with his head up.

Has great vision as well. Cracking little player, was never used enough at Liverpool, showed his true quality at west ham.

He is classsssss.

Arda Turan - Liverpool. Would be good.

"Newcastle have completed the signing of Nottingham Forest defender James Perch on a four-year deal.

The Magpies agreed an undisclosed fee with the Championship side for the 24-year-old, who can play in midfield and across the back four."

from BBC Sport

Dont get me wrong, Benny isnt a bad player, but that it the problem.

No offence to Liverpool or Benny here but..

Chelsea are the Premiership Champions, Defending Champions and Manchester City are buying everyone and look like they will be right up there.

So Chelseas response is release J.Cole and buy Benny who wasnt even a first choice player for Liverpool, who lets face havent got that great of a 'squad' in general and finished 7th in the league.

Seriously?


Yaya Toure the first player to earn more than £200,000 a week signing a 5 year contract worth £56Million. Unreal tbh its bad enough anyone would get £200,000 a week...but Yaya Toure of all people LOL!

What is happening? John Obi Mikel is better than Yaya! Says it all really!

Shocking.

yaya toure on 200k a week?! wow wtf

£220,000 - a - week I think it was.

Heh, still makes me laugh that Yaya of all people...shocking.

Bet he is a flop aswell. Might have some sort of bet for him to be crap =\
