Who would have signed for who if Chelsea

[FLiam]

I saw this topic on OTF and thought it was interesting. Who do you all think Chelsea's signings since Abramovich would have ended up?

Going through their team:

Petr Cech - Probably be at Arsenal, or still be with Rennes.

Wayne Bridge - Probably still at Soton or maybe Liverpool, I believe they were linked with him before.

Ricardo Carvalho - Real Madrid I would say.

Asier Del Horno - Bilbao.

Paolo Ferreira - Wherever Mourinho would be.

William Gallas - A Spanish side, Valencia or Barcelona.

Glen Johnson - Tottenham or Newcastle.

Joe Cole - Maybe Tottenham, maybe even Man Utd.

Damien Duff - Still at Blackburn, or at Anfield.

Geremi - Middlesbrough.

Jiri Jarosik - CSKA.

Tiago - Benfica, Porto, Lisbon or a Premiership side.

Arjen Robben - Man Utd.

Shaun Wright-Phillips - Citeh.

Claude Makelele - Milan, Inter or another top Serie A side.

Didier Drogba - Marseille or Juventus.

Hernan Crespo - Inter Milan or AC.

Mateja Kezman - Tottenham, Aston Villa, Man City or some Prem side similar.

Quite interesting to think. I also remember us lining up a swoop for John Terry about half a year before Abramovich came along because Terry was unhappy with his contract.

Joe Cole would have probably went to ManYoo. Ferguson is a fan apparently. Duff would probably be at Liverpool or Newcastle. Gallas at Barca.

Wright-Phillips would be at Arsenal. I'm pretty sure that there was alot of talk about him actually going to Arsenal before he came to Chelsea

[botchedpiledriver]

I agree with all Gooners, apart from Gallas. He would still be at Chelsea, he wasn't bought with Roman's Millions. Kezman would of probably stayed with PSV, he had it good there. Cech would of eventually been picked up by Man Utd or Arsenal to solve the goalkeeping crisis.

[FLiam]

I know, but Gallas has been linked heavily with other clubs for about 3 years or so, if Abramovich didn't come along, he wouldn't have as good chance of winning trophies as he does now, I think he would have moved on.

And yeh, we were planning to buy Cech in like 2000 or 2001 I think, but he didn't get a work permit, he went to Rennes and Wenger wanted to buy him in the summer of 2003, when we got Lehmann, but Chelsea had already agreed a deal in February I think, the bastards. We could have had him.

hmmm

I really want to know what I said.

[FLiam]

My post suggests that I wanted Arsenal to sign John Terry all this years ago. 

This thread should be buried forever.

Wish we were still in leagues with these two

I realise what an utterly pointless thread this was as well. 

18 year-old me was weird.

I have little recollection of Jiri Jarosik, but would never have said he played for Chelsea if I were asked to name an English club he played for, and have absolutely no idea who Tiago is. This is despite being a Chelsea fan from 2002 onwards.

Really? He played for you when you won the league and league cup double. Portuguese guy. Central midfielder. Awful hair.
