Concluded this morning ... another free !

Bye bye Boula

Great news

Good news.

Now ship Boula out and bring in Alex.

someones pleased with the news

real name Al Ben Haim perhaps?

Coat I'll get my.

I haven't seen anything official yet, only some news about him going to discuss a contract with Chelsea.

Is it a 100% done deal or are we getting ahead of ourselves?

Moos, when Star says it, its official.. its just Chelsea that may not know it yet.

Well if this is true, yet again I'm underwhelmed.

If it is true I am happy enough with it. Haim is established in England and a sound centre half. Yes he is no world beater but then again he is going to be back up, not regular first team material. Also he is still a good age.

Good header too

Our 3rd backup player of the Summer, a good addition IMO.

He might not be a Nesta or a Gallas etc but if it stops our midfielders playing at centre back he'll do for me.

Well if this is true, yet again I'm underwhelmed.

Don't worry, you'll have Brian for company.

From Sky Sports

Chelsea chief executive Peter Kenyon has been quoted, confirming Ben Haim's arrival.

"Ben Haim will arrive, we will discuss his contract and finalise the last details and we hope that he will sign the contract by tomorrow [Thursday]," Kenyon is quoted in the Guardian.

From that it depends whether you believe Sky quoting the Guardian quoting Peter Kenyon.

I saw another quote somewhere (sorry I've lost the link), from Sam Allardyce who apparently said that:

Ben Haim will sign for Chelsea for footballing reasons, not financial.

Well if this is true, yet again I'm underwhelmed.

Don't worry, you'll have Brian for company.

Oh. Lucky me.

Keep your back to the wall Lofty and don't drop your car keys!

AND, if anyone asks you to do anything like splicing with anything like their mainbrace, be very afraid!

Kev

didn't really want him in jan... I don't think he is more than an average player, and would prefer to see boulahrouz given another go after his first season... but as long as he's the fourth choice, and alex signs, I'd be happy.

p.s. he can play at leftback, I think, so maybe cashley will be carted off!

Phew - for the first time ever I feel lucky I don't drive a car. And as for mainbraces, I wouldn't touch one with a bargepole. Come to that I wouldn't touch a bargepole with a bargepole either.

Confirmed on SSN he has signed on a free on a 4 year deal!!

Welcome Tal.

Hes a good player and he is only 25.

Always welcome a new player, good to have you Tal.

Im very pleased with that ! Another CB back-up. Welcome Tal

Another player for free. I bet the papers will have a laugh.

Still, nice to see that even though we have alot of money (if you count Romans that is) we still don't have to spend it all. Three players for free who might be good the next season and soon we might buy Alex for ?1 or so.

I think we can win the title without spending any money this season.

A much better player than people think or give credit for plus only 25 he's probably a lot stonger in the air than cava so a good alternative option and for free an absalout bargin. rekon he'll be a better bet than alex
