Roman sold sibneft to gazprom, I believe.

Oh, look who's here! The great Robbie Howler (23).

Marin is Kalou's direct replacement, Just a decent squad player, nothing more. I'm actually amazed that so many people want him starting.

Gregory Van Der Wiel, not Rafael.

Bogarde.

Legend :(

I'm new here, been lurking for a bit but never felt the urge to register. Been a Chelsea fan since around 99/00 and I'm extremely gutted to see this man go, I cried today when I saw it in the club's website, I just refuse to believe it. I wanted him to retire here. I wrote this for him in Spanish (it's my mother tongue), I'll try to translate some but it won't rhyme. Whatever: You represent the blue and white You're our champion, you're gold Didier you broke the mold From Abiya to London, your limit was the stars, the world saw you never gave up and fell on your feet. The stands shout the Drog! when they see you, rivals get KO'ed trying to defend against you. They feel your ambition, your motivation, your determination, it never trembles. You fight against every opponent, it doesn't matter if they think they can stop you, you turned sport into art, extraordinaire. You go on the pitch like a raging bull, all for a dream, the one many of us had you accomplished, you were the great Titan in blue and white, by yourself and that monstrous talent that pours whenever you turn and score, whenever you pull a flick or a kick and a plea, a scream to the sky, straight to glory, victory is for the King and Didier is our king. Number 11 will go down in history. You took your name farther than the stars, every little kid today wants to be Didier, there's no goal that resists. dressed in blue, prelude of another victory. World star without forgetting your origins, engaged with your cause and your country. Your eyes looking straight to the goal like a hawk, your fist on your chest, call it desire,the entire world saw you kiss the cup. Champion. Pressure made you stronger, breed of the superstar, I see fire and love for the game in your eyes, and in your feet the skill of who defeats fear, living legend. Fought through adversities, the whole world. When no one else believed you didn't let it stop you, now it's for the world to see that you're the number one fulfilling all you're dreams. King DD11. I'm getting all emotional now but I will miss him so much... :( I know it's selfish but I wanted him to end his career here and bow out at the bridge followed by a lap of honor and a huge ovation. Thank you for all these years DD, we'll never forget you.
