Chelsea manager Jimmy Floyd Hasslebaink has decided to strengthen his wingers by signing up Manchester United's 27 year old winger Antonio Valencia. Valencia will be in to give some pace to the wings and put a bit of a challenge on Mata and Hazard. He joined from Manchester United for a fee rumoured to be around 28.5m. This includes 7.5m being paid up front, with 21.5m being paid over the next 48 months.

Hasslebaink said:
"Antonio is a player with lots of quality, who can really run down the right flanks with a massive amount of pace, and I really hope he can help us, but also make Mata and Hazard work harder ofr a starting XI place"

Valencia stated:
"I was said to leave Man United but I feel that this a new start for me to create something else and really help Chelsea do well in the Premier League and hopefully achieve a few trophies!"

Wow, we must be desperate for a winger, I don't rate him at all, just my opinion though.
Also a piece of advice, you might want to change your avatar to a Chelsea badge so it looks good next to your story.

Hasslebaink stated:
"We've had a good pre-season run out. We were unlucky against Vancouver but other than that result the team put in a strong performance and I think that we will have a great season!"

John Obi Mikel scored a goal?

Nice results there not sure about Valencia but he could be good.

Transfers

Martin Montoya - RB - Barcelona - 14m




Marco Storari - GK - Juventus - 1.1m




Roberto Soldado - ST - Valencia - 27m




Thiago - CM - Barcelona - 30.5m




Antonio Valencia - RM - Man Utd - 28.5m

Overview

My own opinion but 28.5m for Valencia is ludicrous!! Also I feel you may have overspent on Thiago! However still a good story so far!

1. Don't knwo how to move it. 2. I like the white bit on it!

Defo overspent on Valencia but some other decent signings. Not too sure of Storati tho dont understand your purchase there.

as someone said you definitely overspent on Valencia and should have rejected Man Utd's 'counter offer' and buy someone younger for much less like Draxler etc
