Sorry I haven't posted much in the last couple of days guys, had a busy weekend. Will have something to post after my 1000th post.




Arsenal Chairman Charles Major has come out in public and slated Chelsea Chairman Jason Arrow, he had this to say.

"Jason so far has ruined Chelsea, selling key players like Ramires, Torres and Mata while replacing them with overpriced players like Lucas Leiva for 37m and Marouane Fellaini for 45m. I mean come on what does Fellaini even do that well apart from running round like a donkey?"

But he has showered Norwich Chairman Craig Johnson claiming his appointment as Chairman as a masterstroke by Delia Smith.

"Craig Johnson has been brilliant so far, he hasn't sold too many big names apart from Bassong but who can blame him, he wasn't going to stay if Manchester United came knocking. Adebayor is a world class player who has played for clubs like Real Madrid, Craig Johnson will be a Norwich Legend in no time!"

More deals for Norwich


Canaries fans were disappointed this week as central defender Bassong left for Manchester United in a mega 19m deal, but Norwich were quick to appease them.

Manchester United midfielder Darren Fletcher joins Norwich for a 13m fee. He has struggled of late due to illness and injury but is hoping Norwich will be a chance at a fresh start.

The Scot will now turn out for Norwich

West Ham wingman Matt Jarvis joins for a fee of 7.5m. As of the last few seasons, Jarvis has been dominating the stats for crosses in the Premier League and the Canaries will hope he will provide enough ammunition for Adebayor.


Elegant French playmaker Sylvain Marveaux also joins Norwich for a massive 8.5m fee. Marveaux did not play much during the last season for Newcastle and several pundits have already criticized the chairman and manager for overspending on this occasion.


And finally, Arsenal's Russian reject Andrey Arshavin will join on Norwich on a season long loan with Arsenal paying all of his wages.

Everton playing their part in English transfers



Never in the Premier League history we had seen so much deals in a so little amount of days. And a lot of them are big deals like Van Persie joining Chelsea or Demba Ba leaving this last club for West Ham.


In Liverpool, the Reds are quite calm for now but their Blue neighbor have already made a lot of deals.
http://footafrica365.preprod.media365.fr/medias/foot/Football365_664x376/logos/angleterre/102894_EVERTON_LOGO_new.jpg

On the opening day of English transfers window the Baines battle had already started and the Everton left back finally joined Manchester United for 19 million pounds. Manchester United chairman was seen having a dinner at Liverpool with chairman Jordan Bet and Leighton Baines who then talked to the press and express his delighted to sign with United.



A few days later, Ashley Young travel the other way, joining Everton for a fee close to £16M. On the same day a other winger joined Goodison Park. It was Florent Malouda from Chelsea in a deal without money involved, the Frenchman being exchange with the young Ross Barkley.
http://www.keek.fr/uploads/Image/Malouda%20haiti.jpg

Their were also moves with a other London club, as West Ham's chairman duo seems to like dealing with Jordan Bet, the new Everton chairman. They nearly sold Demba Ba to the Toffees only one day after the Senegalese arrival. The deal who was rumored to reach nearly £50M also inclued Mark Noble and Frederic Piquionne and those two player finally joined Everton for 16.5M.
Ricardo Vaz Te and Carlton Cole also did the travel from Hammers to Toffees, Heitinga and Vellios going the other way.
So already six players traveled between the two clubs.

http://images.teamtalk.com/12/09/640/Kieran-Richardson-Fulham-Player-Profile_2835307.jpg
And another player came from London, Kieran Richardson leaving Fulham to become Baines replacement.


A other big deal was the departure of Jelavic who joined Sunderland in exchange of Steven Fletcher. Sunderland also payed £2M to the Blues.
http://www.heraldscotland.com/sites/default/files/imagecache/400xY/Steven_Fletcher.jpg

A last deal as been done with Norwich, Sylvain Distin joining the Canaries and Martin Russel going too Everton who this time payed 4M pounds.
http://www.fansfc.com/UploadedImages/Players/russell%20martin_633608853352031250.jpg

Marouane Fellaini is still at the club but a lot of rumors see him go this summer for a fee close to £25M. Many clubs are intrest so it's a story to follow...
Chelsea Chairman responds

Chelsea Chairman Jason Arrow told the media today that "I believe that all of Major's comments about the way Chelsea are run are ridiculous. I'm very proud of the way the team has been running. Yes, we've sold Ramires and Mata. Those transfers were tough to make, but I'm thrilled we've gotten rid of Fernando Torres. I'm confident that he will not succeed at Arsenal, he couldn't do It here, could he. And as for our signing, Lucas Leiva is a pure genius who can be a leader on both defense and attack, and Fellani can also lead a team with brilliant thinking and
passing, a lethal combination. We've also shored up our defense with proven superstars such as Fabricio Coloccini and Bacry Sagna. The team as a whole is spotless and I think that We will be looking down at Arsenal in the table by the end of the year.
The last word


Arsenal Chairman Charles Major has come to say the last word on Jason Arrow.


"Mr Arrow has said that hes shored up his defence with proven superstars, for a start they are both injury prone and Coloccini has had one good season in the Premier League hardly proven if you ask me. And trust me if you think Fellaini is a good enough replacement for a fully fledged Spain international who has won the WORLD CUP and EUROS then he has some problem with his head. Trust me Mr Arrow, we'll see whos looking down on who at the end of the season."

In, Out, In, Out, Shake it all about.

A 7 Million pound move to QPR for Danny Graham from Sunderland. Both chairmen, Drew Peacock and Nick Dabool, handled negotiations.

http://i2.mirror.co.uk/incoming/article1594989.ece/ALTERNATES/s615/Danny%20Graham-1594989.jpg

Furthermore, Federico Macheda will return for his second spell as a Q.P.R player. Q.P.R will pay all his wages plus £40K each month.

http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2012/01/05/article-0-0F521F4900000578-910_468x336.jpg

Shelvey will play for Q.P.R for the time being. Liverpool pay all his wages, but he can be recalled.

http://images.dailystar-uk.co.uk/dynamic/58/281x351/276112_1.jpg

Taarabt will move to Arsenal for 10m.

http://www.nononsensefootball.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/Adel-Taarabt.jpg

Meanwhile, Denilson and Park-Chu-Young will move on loan to Q.P.R. Q.P.R have the option of buying them at any time for nothing. Gibbs will also move to Q.P.R, but Q.P.R can't buy him out. For the trio of loanees, no wages will be paid by Queens Park Rangers.

Q.P.R look on the hunt for another left back, as Manchester United may terminate the loan of Fabio. A left midfielder could also join the jam-packed Q.P.R side.

Drew Peacock was involved in a press interview today. One question was that who would be above who at the end of the season, Arsenal or Chelsea. Mr Peacock said that he wanted to focus on his own team.

Three in.


West Brom sign New Zealand and West Ham United centre defender Winston Reid on a £10Million pound deal. Reid has an excellent friendship with Austin and is familiar with the West Brom team. He will be first team centre defender, playing besides Jonas Olsson.

Next is the 25 year old English winger Nathan Dyer who came in on a £22Million pound deal including 2 other players. He will fit in excellently with the squad.

Next is the 24 year old Korean international footballer Ki Sung-Yeung in a deal including Nathan Dyer. He will be back up to the centre midfield.

Two out.

West Brom attacking midfielder Graham Dorrans has been sold to Newcastle united for a massive fee of £17Million pounds, which gives Steve Clarke an extra £20million pounds to spend overall.

Out goes Jerome Thomas to Swansea, as a part of a big deal. Thomas wasnt needed at the club and was happy to leave.
Some great posts everyone!!!! Sorry if I was off on your overall balance was in a rush. Messaging me your overall transfers ins and outs will help me go over if i missed anything. Or post in here like other chairmen have! Again well done. I am glad you all look like you are enjoying it! Will be back on break soon!!

Chelsea Defense

GK: Petr Cech

Petr Cech is a fabulous goalie, a wall in goal. The man with the headgear always comes up clutch, and will be 1st choice keeper for the following year.

Availability: 75 million pounds

DL: Ashley Cole

Ashley Cole is a tough left back, who can match opponents stride for stride at all times. Although old, Cole still is an essential part of the team, a team leader for sure. Ashley Cole will be first choice at left back this year, although It may be his last year starting

Availability: 25 million pounds

DC: Fabricio Coloccini

Fabricio is a classic defender, a great header of the ball and a incredible tackler, Nobody gets by him, period. Colo will rotate with Terry and Coates and CB and is expected to see at least 25 games. It is up to Mourinho though.

Joined Chelsea for 25 million pounds

DC: John Terry

John is a tough player who wins lots of key tackles. Terry is a true leader, and will more than likely be captain of the Blues. He is the heart and soul of this team. John is 1st choice at RB but this may be his last year of true greatness at CB.

Availability: None


DR: Bacry Sagna

Sagna is a attacking full back who can get up on the pitch and contribute to the offense. He's the kind of player who can contribute on both sides of the ball. On defense, he's a tank, he never stops working. He'll be a great fit at Chelsea

Joined Chelsea in a Player Exchange for Fernando Torres


Chelsea Midfield


Dm/CM: Lucas Leiva

Leiva is a brilliant midfielder who can string long passes and stop attacks at practically the same time. Lucas helps the team a lot because he's such a hard worker, and he can occasionally find the net as well. Definitely an incredible player!

Joined Chelsea for 37 million pounds


CM: Frank Lampard

Frank is a Chelsea legend who provides the team with brilliant passes. Frank is a great thinker, and makes the right decision almost all of the time. Also, when he gets on one of his streaks, there is no stopping his goal scoring ability.

Availability: 20 million pounds

AML: Eden Hazard

Eden might be the best player on Chelsea for years to come, with his brilliant dribbling and pace. He weaves in and out of defenders and he seems to make something out of nothing all the time. He's a special player, and you can expect to see a huge number of both goals and assists from him.

Availability: None

AMC: Maurone Fellaini

Fellaini is a great player who can play anywhere in the middle, he always seems to make big tackles and perfect passes at just the right time. Fellaini is also a physical beast, nobody can get by him or stop him. A brilliant signing for sure.

Signed from Everton for 45 million pounds


AMR: Nani

Nani is a brilliant winger with pace. He can out run anybody, and his finishing never lets him down. Nani has great skill on the ball, and defenders are often bewildered by his many skill moves. Nani is definitely going to be 1st choice, he's the only natural right winger we have here at Chelsea.

Signed from Man U for 10 million pounds and Cesar Azipulecta

Chelsea Strikers

ST: Robin Van Persie

RVP is a classic striker, he simply does not miss. Whenever he's in the box, opposing goalies panic. They never can stop the shot that's coming. RVP bags loads of goals, and there is no limit to what he can do here in Blue.

Bought from Man U for 35 milliound pounds and Michael Essien

Swansea in heaven


A few days have passed and Swansea haven't been involved in the market much, until now, they have spent only £2,000,000 which has brought them in Matthew Kilgallon from Sunderland. However, Nathan Dyer and Sung-Yeung have both left the club in return for a whopping £22,000,000 and Jerome Thomas from WBA. Elsewhere, they have sold hot prospect Ben Davies to Manchester City, for a sum of £8,000,000 and Wayne Routledge has moved to Norwich for £10,000,000, finally Neil Taylor has moved to Arsenal for £6,000,000.

My Starting 11 for the season



GK: Wojciech Szcesny

Sczesny will be my starting keeper for the season he is only available in a swap deal.

RB: Matthieu Debuchy

Debuchy is not leaving the club as he as just joined, my starting RB

CD: Thomas Vermaelen

is my starting Centerback, definetly not for sale an absolute machine!

CD: Jonny Evans

Will start alongside him, he has lots pace about him and is brilliant just joined from United

LB: Monreal/Taylor

These two will both play a vital part in the team and are quality neither are for sale.

MC: Ramires

Ramires is brilliant and has lots of pace, creativity and energy not sale and is key to my side

MC: Cazorla

Cazorla will be a maestro from midfield, NOT FOR SALE AT ANY PRICE.

AMR: Walcott

His pace is vital down the wing only available for a fee of at least 24m

AMC: Juan Mata

This player is absolutely key, my main creative force just joined for 45m from Chelsea.

AML: Lukas Podolski / Gervinho

Both are intelligent wingers who can create chances and score goals, not for sale!

ST: Giroud / Torres

Neither are for sale as they are both top goalscorers, these two will scare every defence in the Premier League.

The Swans reveal asking prices


Dwight Tiendalli D(RL), WB(R)
I would only consider part exchange with this player, unless a huge bid (above £7M) comes in. It could be I give the player and money to another team for someone or visa versa. Dwight is currently my best RB.

Alan Tate D(RLC)
A bid of 1.5M would secure this defender, he is an allrounder at the back, and can push on into a Wingback on either sides, and even DMC and MC. He is cheap, and a very good player, what more could you want?

Gary Monk D(C)
An experienced old cookie, knows his tricks in the trade, 700k is his price tag, however it could lower if anyone is interested.

Mark Gower M(C)
Another goldie oldie, cheap, great passer, and tackler, superb back up mid. available for 600k.

Now please pay attention to this part, these players below this ARE NOT FOR SALE however interest has been sparked...

Michu AM(C),ST
Doesn't need explaining, Michu is a bomb. Only bids around the £30M mark will be taken into consideration. Part exchanges also acceptable.

Pablo Hernandez M/AM(R)
Explosive winger, again, Only bids around the £25M mark will be taken into consideration. Part exchanges also acceptable.

Angel Rangel D/WB(R)
Pacy, strong defender, will be asking for £15M. Part exchanges also acceptable.

I am looking for some players myself. Below will be the positions, if you offer me a decent player in that position, and a fair sum of money, you will be in with a chance of Michu etc

GK: Big, fast stopper, looking into Wojciech Szczesny, and Ben Foster, around that ability

CB:- With Ashley Williams going, Chico needs a partner in defense, tall, fast, strong defenders will be acceptable, such as Mbia, or Coloccini

LB: Only have Tiendalli at LB, hence why I want a P/E with him, so make sure and LB is FIRST TEAM STANDARD. People like, Gibbs, or Clyne.

AMC/ST:Fast and Strong. Biggest contenders to go with Michu, offer me big strikers, maybe you'll get Michu, more likely to come to that if they can play AMC and ST. People like Defoe, Sturridge.
