Poor signing. You add another 30 years old player when many of current squad age 30 ++. This is BPL Ancelotti not Serie A when u can still use PAVALLI aGED 37 IN MILAN Squad.

Chelsea need new player upfront. Based from preseason, Chelsea look struggled when in final third. Yes, it only preseason but I think EPL this season more challenging compared to last season.

Ramires really good signing, and combination with Essien surely make Chelsea defensive more solid but for attacking, I cant see Kalou, or Sturridge can make great impact.

Agree with you. When you see Chelsea last nite, it look watching same Chelsea last season. Nothing new, nothing special. Compared to MU when they introduced Chicarito, really envy. Young talent and look decent. Only Sturridge really make Chelsea look good.

Ramires really good addition to this squad but Chelsea really need attacking player who can rejuvenate this aging team. Kalou? 4 season already but his development look flat and stagnant.

totally agree with you. Chelsea need new player at attacking. Exciting new player like Hernandez. Really envy when United got this superb talent. Sturridge maybe the solution at the right winger. Give him more game and surely he will deliver.

TRANSFER NEWS
Swansea capture Chelsea winger Sinclair


Swansea have completed the signing of highly-rated Chelsea winger Scott Sinclair on a three-year deal for initial fee of £500,000.

Despite possessing bags of potential, Scott Sinclair failed to make the grade at Chelsea

Sinclair, 21, who is well known to Swans' boss Brendan Rodgers from his days at the Stamford Bridge academy, failed to break into the first team at Chelsea and enjoyed just one start, with another four appearances coming from the bench.

Swansea have paid an initial £500,000 to bring England Under-20 star Sinclair to the Championship, though the fee could rise to over £1million with appearances and performance-related add-ons.

Sinclair has been sent out on several loan spells inr ecent years, with his clubs including Wigan, Crystal Palace and QPR, but despite his failure to break into the first-team picture at Chelsea, Rodgers believes the the move represents a real coup for the Swans.

"Scott is obviously a player I know well and I am delighted to sign him,'' Rodgers told Swansea's official website. "He is a big talent and has been a sought-after player since he broke onto the scene.

"As far as I am concerned there is no better place for him than Swansea City. With this group of players, style of football and fantastic fans, this will be a great club for his development.

"He is only 21 and still has big potential. I think this will be a good home for him. He is a great signing for the present and the future and joins a group of exciting young players.''

Swansea chairman Huw Jenkins added: "While everyone is aware that we run a tight ship here financially, we will always invest in the team when funds are available.

"I think this signing highlights our intent. It is also the club's priority to invest in bright, young talent wherever possible and I don't think you will find many young players with the talent Scott possesses.''

The deal remains subject to Premier League and Football League ratification, meaning Sinclair, who has represented England at every level up to Under-20, will not be available for Swansea's Carling Cup clash with Barnet on Wednesday.

£500,000? Very cheap...

Watched David Luiz played Brazil vs USA this morning. Really great defender. Superb. Must buy player and suit will chelsea

i think 5 million differ not be a problem for Abramovic for Neymar talent. He's really good. Quick, strong, and remind me of FAT RONALDO.

Star is Born tonite at Stamford Bridge. I never seen exciting young player like this at chelsea.

I already expected that Chelsea will struggle in this game and never surprised with the scoreline. I dont think MC is better than Chelsea but Chelsea look out of ideas, lack of creativity. Only Ivanovic header really golden opportunity for entirely game.
