Reporting in


JOE COLE and Michael Ballack were last night released by Chelsea.

England World Cup star Cole turned down Blues' offer of £90,000 a week because he wanted parity with the club's top stars, who are paid up to £150,000 a week.

Negotiations collapsed and Chelsea have finally withdrawn their offer, so Cole, 28, can go on July 1.

German midfielder Ballack, 33, is also leaving the Double winners.

He had wanted a one-year extension to his existing deal but once again Chelsea refused to meet his demands as the club attempt to impose a strict new pay code.

SunSport revealed Cole held a meeting with Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger before flying to South Africa for the World Cup.

Tottenham chief Harry Redknapp - who gave Cole his big chance at West Ham - has also publicly stated his desire to sign the midfielder.

why the f*** does cole demand more wages...damn....we lost a creative player...and most importantly an English player(1 player lost in quota).....but in the end of the day its his decision....do he think other clubs apart from chelsea can match £90,000 a week???

on ballack: no comment..we dont need him..tired legs...

This post has been edited by krk24: Jun 9 2010, 11:55 AM

Joe Cole. Umm, I don't think he worth that high wages.
Ballack, he's a good player, but his temper and his age, time to release.

seems like the released of both midfielders are good for chelsea since, we had tons of midfielders...time for youngsters to shine...

hmmm. it would be great if coley stayed but if he doesnt wanna give in to the club, i guess letting him go is alright. players like kakuta and stoch would be raring to go now that there is a slot in the right midfield. i wouldnt worry too much about losing a creative player. its the best chance for the next player after john terry to break into the first team.

that news was not official. so keep on waiting first. patient. but it is ok if both of them to be release. its about time.

yeap. to be honest, bally is getting really old and you never know which of these coming seasons he is just going to be extra luggage on the squad. its cruel but it would be the best for the club to let go of players who has past their prime.

oh mai..joey is leaving..no one bigger than a club..i'll hold on that..

hmmm, there are many clubs that think they can revive the old joe cole. bring him back to his best. its when i think of this that we're losing a precious player. but then again, we tried and it did not work.

i wonder where will joey end up if he leaves.

It's official.

Yes it's official. Even the official website carrys these 2 departures. Sad but true.

But then again, no one is bigger than the club. Best of luck to our ex No. 10 and No. 13!

joe cole and michael ballack leave chelsea. what a loss but again, if it's good for the club then some sacrifices should be made. all the best for both of them with their new respective football club next season...

yup..its fair for joey as well..he struggling with fitness recently, being the bench warmer, not giving much impact n just inches away from not making the final 23 for the WC..but that is how living in the top club, the expectation is high..So instead paying his demand which should be invest on other development thing, its better to him n the club to say farewell..

Its a bitterness that i personally need to swallow..

"hes there hes there
hes every f*ckin where
joe cole! joe cole!"

This post has been edited by hidzwan: Jun 9 2010, 05:59 PM

it's time for stoch, kakuta and matic to step up to the challenge next season...

From my vantage point, I reckon Joey Cole would be signing in for Manchester City,

as they have expressed interest on the attacking midfielder/winger.

Its official. From our official site.

Fortunately I already got Ballack 13 shirt last season

time to let some new blood coming the first team..

Letting Ballack is definitely a good choice but cole...really hope that he can stay....anyway...what gone is gone....let's starts to build up the youngster that we have around....

really eager to see who will be the players comings in this season.....

Ballack is ok if he out but j.cole is a big lost unless we got a new creative player..

wow! 3 players was release at the same day today.

first joe cole..
second ballack..
and now belletti..

again, it is their time now. thanks for all the contributions. especially joe cole!
who else next to be release, i can sense few names.. deco? carvalho? hilario? ....

lets see who is the best candidate to replace them.

kakuta for joe cole?
matic for ballack?
xxx for belletti?

This post has been edited by eeki: Jun 9 2010, 08:18 PM

Beletti a lot of player can cover him. Right now we have 2 world class right back, Iva and Bos.

next released person will be deco & hilario....keep carvalho....make turnbull as no2. goalie...he has bright future in chelsea...give him a chance.....he will prove it...

same hereeeeeeeeeeeeeee

chelsea w/out j.cole?....surely weird afterthis

I reckon jcole at 28 want a guaranteed 1st team football rather then just high wage. I don't think he can really cement a place in Chelsea 1st eleven. Not because he is not good , but others are ahead of him.

Too bad we can't make a profit off him.
Thanks joe cole for your service to Chelsea.

i hope someone makes a tribute video about the 3 of them. they have been fantastic players for us and contributed alot. i will miss those 3 players but its time to move on, the youngsters to step up!

MATIC FOR BALLY!
STOCH FOR JOEY!

Matic and Stoch? Not so soon. I think there will be surprises in store for us after the WC 2010, in transfers. Chelsea has been prevalent in most of the rumours already, if you ask me.

Stoch might get some chances I can foresee that.

Agreed with aw13. Now there are no 9 and 10 up for grab!

Come come come.. Lelong lelong!

hmmm. yeah you might be right about matic, but i believe that stoch might replace joey. sharing the spot with another experienced right winger, kalou maybe?

i personally think we have enuff winger already..if we go 4-3-3

Malouda-Drogba-Kalou/Anelka

so, it means we need to replace Ballack position..Deco might leave as well, so maybe bring someone like Sneijder in..or Kaka..it is not impossible..Roman, Carlo n co must have plan something BIG..otherwise, they dun let the trio go..

Damn ballack leaving

im a big fan of him.

Tribute to Bally.
Chelsea


Old Times


I hope RA can bring in younger ballack.
Toni Kroos anyone ?

Well first of all I’m quite impressed by how everyone’s so calm in handling our recent departures . I guess most of us are in agreement that it was the right time for them to go.

Has anyone else read about bally’s agent claiming his willingness to accept a 1 year deal on reduced wages? A bit strange that we didn’t take up the offer if this turns out to be true. However I applaud the management’s quick and decisive actions, if this was only about wages all along. We really are heralding in a new era, where astronomical paychecks are only given to the truly deserving. Considering the fact that carlo and wilkins had already expressed their desire to maintain joey’s services, I’m waiting to hear the player’s side of the story, after reading on vitalchelsea that he’ll ‘lift the lid’ about what went on during negotiations, after the world cup.

Now the lads in our reserve and youth squad will be filled with that little bit more of optimism, and this rings especially true for kakuta, stoch and matic. I’m happy for them, yet still sad we’re bidding our final farewells to joey, bella and bally. All the best to them and here’s to the future!


Aw13, I thought its like that every season

extremely important year ahead for stoch imo. Wonder if his 'demands' for first team football next season had anything to do with joey's departure.

it might. stoch must have been doing very well during his loan, yes we've seen short previews but im sure the coaches watch the full games. joey would have easily accepted if he really wanted to stay at Chelsea but i guess maybe he wasnt offered? i like joey, but honestly he hasnt been at his best and a rare glimpse of magic here and there isnt enough to win titles.

Ballack was really GOOD back at Munich. But I only saw the glimpses of the old him @ Chelsea. Sigh...

True. Those rare glimpses are one of the reasons he isn’t in carlo’s first choice eleven. I wish there was some way we could guarantee he’ll be in blistering form for chelsea next season, but evidently that’s not the case and the board have opted for the obvious solution. Stoch’s successful loan spell means he’s at the top of his confidence now.

Like hidzwan said, chelsea definitely have some big plans in store. What’s most interesting is waiting to see how much money and youth promotion will be involved.
While I hope to see a bit of both, it certainly is a bad idea to go crazy on either one. Too many youngsters thrown into the mix too soon, and we risk being stuck in ‘transition’ for years. I’m sure nobody wants to see us become arsenal 1.5, while splashing too much cash will mean alienating our developing prospects.

i just think there will be some major suprises in the transfer windows for chelsea after the world cup. believe me on this one guys...

ballack is my all-time favourite.
damn u RA

@kerplunk - well not actually, only recently we are 'big' in the transfer market (ever since RA took over la).

before that, i remember 1 season we only had one signing...free somemore. DE LUCAS 21, rings a bell?

HAPPY BORN-DAY CARLO

goal.com say joey will go to arsenal???? is this true?

He is the BIG man for the BIG games...

Mine..but If Chelsea want another Ballack...got Bastian Swtger. and Toni Kroos at Bundesliga...may cost more than usual..both of them...

I agree with this article...

http://www.goal.com/en-gb/news/2871/specia...uld-chelsea-buy

but

My In and Out...

IN (3): Marek Hamsik (Napoli), Romelu Lukaku (Anderlecht), Ireland (ManCity)

OUT (3): Ballack Joey Belleti Deco and Ricky

LOANS OUT (4): Lukaku, Borini, van Aanholt, Sala.

LOANS Return : Stoch , Matej Delac , Manci , Scott Sinclair and Di Santo..

Wow. That's great

world cup 2010 first guys. haha...!!!

This post has been edited by jenglots: Jun 10 2010, 10:36 PM

getting near...worldcup 2010...in HD.

i just checked out their website, lo and behold stoch's smiling picture was at the top of their page......someone please tell me this is just a mean prank on chelsea fans...what the hell are we doing? still awaiting for official news from our site, but nothing's up yet. this is insane..
i'm disappointed. i truly am. but it does seem like we're going for someone big here. or am i being too optimistic? this is chelsea fc after all. maybe we got confused which club di maria plays for? tried to do a player plus cash deal then suddenly realising we've got the wrong team..huhu

Stoch to febernache is official. can check chelsea website.
now this is unwise move, they talking about reduce the average team age, but now letting go a youngster.
i can sense someone big is coming at least.

oowh man, it better be a huge and good signing after selling stoch to fenerbahce...

I'm sad... Stoch is a really good player... Hope they are buying first before they clear out people...

THIS IS NONSENSEEEEE NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO !!!!!

what are we thinking! oh man this just ruined my day! who in the world is gonna be the next terry.

woaah..wut is master Carlo plan actually?..4 players go n still counting..

A complete overhaul?..

deco, ferreira, hilario? demmit, this is too much to bare, but we have to admit our squad is getting old. but selling stoch is complete nonsense!

de lucas = LEGENDARY.
he had that goal-getter look about him, gotta admit. but that's about all he had!
right about us not being big spenders during olden times. huhu

sigh. i'm just as worried as you guys, not to mention quite gutted too. well mad, the next terry could be iva i guess?
waiting to see carlo's 'master plan' now. and i still think we confused fenerbahce with benfica
our right side was desperately in need of strengthening. now the need just got more dire. haih.

by next terry i mean a player who came up the ranks from Chelsea youth. i seriously hope that we will make up for this with a HUGE signing. i really really think that this is a huge mistake.

Pato incoming

OMG! They're selling the most promising youngster current chelsea ever produce. Dem i thought he is going to be huge here in london. I don't see the point of having to let go a national team player. Age 20 somemore, this is insane. hope CA have something really good on his mind about all this overhaul thing. Just don't let go other good young player. I pray for that.

I maybe not post here a lot, but having to know about this news really give me a heartache.

KTBFFH.

i hope we're gonna get some better news in the days to come.

like a huge signing

I see Basti coming

Basti coming would definitely heal my heartache

For time being, lets us enjoy theWC, dem i was keen to see stoch making an impact for the slovakian side. He is the only chelsea's young player that made the cut for this WC (correct me if i'm wrong).

now i hope they dont make another mistake by selling jack cork. it would be insane to even think of selling corky.

i cant watch the world cup in peace until we sign a new guy

Why all assuming CA's the one letting go of Stoch? Maybe Stoch wants to leave? Another case of being impatient maybe? Can't wait for another season on the bench/on loan?

Follows the footsteps of all our youngsters who have now gone to seek pastures anew at foreign grounds. Pity actually, I'd like to see the next JT who bided his time and became a stalwart later.

IMHO, this is like a sudden transfer that maybe been fixed even before the season's over. The guy is playing very well at eredivisie. Uhuhuhu, just my opinion eh.
But yeah, maybe aw13 is right, there's prove, everywhere chelsea young player go prematurely, things gone bad for them

who can blame them. they have big ambitions, to be the next messi. a great young player. if only there were more JTs. going on loan, coming back stronger and play for the club.

here is a good summary of potential players we might snap up.

couldnt agree more...

From the list provided by madfag, I don't mind Pato actually. Problem is, he may be too lightweight for the EPL, something like Kalou.

Suarez, Schweinsteiger and Hamsik also catches the eye, and they are mature enough having played European matches as well as play consistently in the other European leagues.

Pato need to start eating more nasi lemak and going to gym to put in some muscles.

At the beginning of CR7 career, he was somehow lightweight as well. If Pato can adapt to EPL style, surely he's going to be one of the best player in the world, given that Chelsea bought him

what the likes of kalou and pato needs is protein. its impossible to fend of EPL defenders with the weight they are at right now. i've read in a magazine that anelka does weight training mainly to fend of defenders but of course he doesnt wanna get too big and slow himself down. kalou has been with us a long time but he hasnt grown bigger one bit.

i dont know if you guys remember but it was really hilarious when he wore his kit over a bomber jacket during our EPL celebration. LOL

Well personally i think KALOU and MALOUDA have improve greatly on their body strength compare when they were just here. Especially MALOUDA he can now dribble and hold player back while playing in the middle of the field.

But selling of STOCH is most probably the player wanted to go, ROMAN surely dont need to sell to buy. Just hope there is a BUY BACK CLAUSE in his contract.

Remember Malouda when he assists Joey for that back heel goal? He hold off Valencia, then Fletcher before crossing the ball.

It might be Stoch himself want to leave.

If he wish to leave for a first team football, who are we to stop him. Let us wish him all the best for his future undertaking, that would be making more sense.

stochy's number is 43. not 42.

be warned, bayern are hardline negotiators. with the kind of money they demand, it'll be safer to go for someone like james milner. proven and probably cheaper. look at how much they squeezed utd for hargreaves. and that's for a player who spends most of his time in the treatment room!

it may be possible he was the one looking for a move. but the thing is, perhaps we could've fought a little harder to keep him? this is where we wait with baited breath to see what the management has planned. at the moment though, it looks a bit worrying with all the exits, and no arrivals.

pato does look really lightweight. some gym time can change that. his injury problems are a concern though. but yeah kalou refuses to get bigger. maybe its his metabolism..and who could forget that 'fatsuit' he was wearing! and the way he punk'd yuri just as the russian was about to hold the FA Cup trophy..priceless

I'm sure the Management has done all that they could, we are def not privy to the negotiations, so let's not jump to conclusions shall we?

And yes, I'm sure Management would have something lined up to appease us Chelsea fans. 4 outs and more to follow (without transfers inwards) seems odd, especially when it's the season to defend our titles.

hmm yeah we have to assume they did their best. i guess the initial shock of losing a player i practically hyped up all season long, hasn't dissipated completely someone mentioned a buyback clause earlier, sure hope we have one of those inserted! four out already, and bruce buck was talking only about 2 - 3 exits. looks like he's waaay off the mark. i wonder if he'll be wrong about the number of arrivals too.
