Try to stop me from laughing Chelsea out of market

I’me not a blues fan, so it’s easier for me to get some fun out of the fact that no new man will be arriving to Stamford Bridge before January 2011. Rules are for everyone, not just for suckers Mr. Abramovich.
Obviously I sympathize with Chelsea’s fans – I would be extremely annoyed if that happened to my club – still this is a lesson they won’t soon forget. And everything because of a unknown 18 years old Gael Kukuta. The young man as parted away from French side Lens due to Chelsea’s pressure.
Besides the punishment to club and player (682.000 pounds fine) there are some aspects we need to consider and that might get Chelsea out of trouble. French laws doesn’t allow under 18 years old to celebrate pro contracts with French teams, what opens space to think that Chelsea simple took an amateur player with no monetary obligations to Lens and shipped him to England.
Tip: Well let’s see what lawyers can do and on the other side stay calm blues fans: if Zhirkov is your only real buy do you really want new players?

Have you asked for Sessegnon?

Stéphane Sessegnon is one of the biggest attractions of France’s top clubs, the 24 years old from Benin is making quite an impact in domestic and European football – PSG as endure until the UEFA Cup quarter-finals – and with the approach of the summer talks of transfer is in order. The blues from Stamford Bridge are – according to French media – in the pole position to bring the man from Parque des Princes to the Premier League. Brought in the late summer from Le Mans to PSG for about 8 millions pound, it is expected PSG’s board reluctance to let him go for less than 15 millions. Money at Chelsea is not a problem; the real question is to understand if the man formed in Benin’s Requins de l’Atlantique is worth the money.
Until today, I’ve seen less than ten games of Sessegnon but most say I’m very impressed with his ability to dribble the ball and to get always cool and innovative moves with the ball – if you haven´t seen him play do a quick search on Youtube. Born in 1984, his still young and has a perfect physical balance, 172cm for 72kg, he’s very quick and usually evolves like a typical right winger – going to the end line and cross or do a move to the middle and try to score, he can also play in the middle and on the other side, but his most impressive moves came from the sideline. Being a small forward his not apt to play with the head, but he’s still very combative and able to chase the ball in the team’s defensive moves – although sometimes he just stops in middle line.
Know in PSG has the new Jay-jay Okocha, he is a truly creative player that spear the opponent defenses with the sin of shame. With 30 games and five goals (until today, La Ligue is still running) in his first season, he’s a fans favorite and one of Africa most promising players. You will need a lot of money to buy this man that in five professional seasons has played for four clubs – Requins l’Atlantique (Benin) and in France for Créteil, Le Mans and PSG.

Tip: He’s one of the most effective dribblers on the European football, if you have the money and a well balanced structure to help him get more consistent in his top exhibitions then you should buy him. Chelsea, AC Milan but also Arsenal and Newcastle seem to be on the dispute.

Ancelotti’s riddle. Blue? No way

The year’s the one million dollar question is: “Who will coach Chelsea?”. A various amount of names have been thrown away, but the AC Milan’s boss is the most referred. But, although that’s true, it seems pretty unlikely that Carlo Ancelotti will leave the rossoneri for the blues. To support my theory I have to important aspects, Ancelotti’s character and the current market movements.
First, the Italian coach is one of the great thinkers of the game, he makes the teams play for and only for the score. His dream is to conquer the Serie A and the CL winning all the matches 1-0. He uses a monstrous 4-3-2-1 tactic, that needs a lot of defensive concentration, (yes the 3 means three defensive midfielders), and opt for a quick offensive game, with high pressure on the ball. In theory, this is a cool tactic, it has helped Milan to a lot of titles – and remember France and World Title win in a similar scheme? – but as a major down to a club like Chelsea and – most important – to the owner Roman Abramovich: he needs three or more season’s to put the players in the correct places on the pitch, and the Russian likes results fast and in a cool offensive fashion.
Second, the rossoneri are known for their stability, with the season coming to the end and teams trying to secure valuable players, it’s logical that Ancelotti – with the help of Galliani and Leonardo – has a major role in new acquisitions, therefore the names of Bruno Alves (Porto) and Stéphane Sessegnon (PSG) – this one also linked with Chelsea –that have been systematically appointed to being part of Milan’s squad next season are important to make us understand that Ancelloti will stay at San Siro. On the other hand he (just like Claudio Ranieri) is eager to defeat José Mourinho.

Tip: Make no mistakes, (his one of my favorites) Ancelotti’s tactical knowledge would help the blues to cause a big impact in the Premier (after Mourinho what have they won?), but he needs a long term commitment and, nowadays, you have to look somewhere else rather than Stamford Bridge for that.

CL Semis preliminary preview (Chelsea)

In one of the most thrilling games of the year Chelsea as gained the right to be in the semi-finals of the European Champions League, by putting Liverpool out in a 7-5 on aggregate they will face Barcelona. Still living with Jose Mourinho's ghost, the Stamford Bridge club as – one more time – the opportunity to win a major title after the departure of the ‘special one’.
On one side, it seems almost an impossible mission to stop the amazing offensive game played by the ‘blaugrana’, and on the other the pathetic defensive errors against the reds have to end. Hiddink is enjoying a good start at the club, but the premier title seems a mirage and the champions league (and, beside thus two titles is there anything left in football?) can’t be won by a team that defends that poorly.

Tip: With Terry and Bosingwa the defense will be better. But with Carvalho, Drogba, Deco always in constant physical effort and Cole suspended the team’s work as to be in the defensive line that will be under pressure. Lampard should let the other midfielders touch the ball as well.
