Cheslea's British players

[Vic#10]

Does it bother anyone that Chelsea has so many Foreign players or do you think this is a good thing?

[mother_goose]

Have you actually counted the number of England internationals in the Chelsea squad?
Terry, Bridge and Lampard are definites and Johnson, Joe Cole and Parker could get in there too. I may be wrong but I think we've got more than Arsenal, United and Liverpool now.

AND they're all one's for the future. I could see us making up half the England team in a couple of years.

Yes this "Foreign" tag is yesterdays news, we are far from having the most overseas players in our squad.

Try trolling another board.

[Lowecifer]

Stupid.

[nicephoras]

Plus, once we buy Beckham this summer, and Cudicini decides to play for England, we'll have half half of the current English squad :p

[Dr_Intoxicated]

Well I think Claudio signed his resignation letter out there today. His odd substitutions distroyed the shape of the team.

Makelele should be band, his dive was disgraceful. I was sure we were going to win at half time a very disapointing night all round.

I never said that they where the team with the most foreign players.

Beckham's not coming to Chelsea. I doubt he would leave Real.

[srd....]

the last thing we need is a media clown like beckham at the bridge,anyway back on topic lets not forget carlton cole on loan to charlton,he's one of the most promiseing young english strikers in the premership.

[mother_goose]

he can prance around all he wants, i dont care... so long as he does his stuff on the pitch! not sure about c. cole though. he hasnt really cut it with charlton either, has he?

[srd....]

actually how many times has he played for charlton this season??? thinking back to last season he did bag a few goals for us,mostly in the f.a. cup though,and like i said he's a promiseing young player,far from the finished article i agree,but given time who know's how he'll progress.

[nicephoras]

Sigh. What is it with the Cole lovefest recently? No less an authority *giggle* than nurspec has declared him great. Fact is, however, he's not coming to the Bridge anytime soon, since part of Parker's contract included a clause keeping him on loan for another year.

[srd....]

well until his loan is made permenant or he's sold off to another club,he's still a chelsea player.i only mentioned him because no one else had.and im certainly not in a lovefest over the kid,hell if he was sold on it would'nt bother me in the slightest bud.

My thoughts exactly.
He's a gonner now, and all that stuff in the rags today - taken out of context or not - will have the Russians blood boiling as it is.
Time to move on and wonder now who will be the next manager.

As for the "british player thing" - thats old news.
Didn'd we just have the most club players named in the last squad selection?

C Cole is also an England u-21 isn't he?

As for beckam....yes please!
If we do land him we'll win the title next season.(which we very well may do anyway)
