Esteban Cambiasso

Am I the only one genuinely not excited by this!? Is he that good? Fecking hope so for them wages.

He's a DM, anyone expecting Ronaldo will be bitterly disappointed.

He'll have a wealth of experience, protect the back four and get things moving forward.

There are zero guarantees with any signing, especially older players. But he has pedigree.

Pearson has signed quite a few players deemed "past it" and they have almost always contributed really well.

I think other players may well accept that a player who has played for two of the top clubs in the world, as well as amassing 50 caps for a top country will have the capacity to command a higher wage. It's not just his footballing ability we are paying for, but what he can add in knowledge to our young midfielders and the pulling power it may have in future transfers. It's showing the club wants to go places.

Thanks Babs...genuinely never heard of him!! Don't ask where I've been living! I don't get out much. I do have faith in Pearson.

 Makes absolute sense to me...even though I'd never looked at it like that. Cheers

50k per week inc signing on fee (perhaps even less). i doubt too many players will have an issue with that, they all know that to run down their contract gives them a big lump upfront. (ooh matron)

He's at the stage of his career where he might be looking for a place to begin coaching. 

 

The fact that Chris Powell and Kevin Phillips both got coaching gigs after winding down their playing careers here, as well as the apparent kind words we received from Mourinho, may have swung it. A year or two of playing followed by the chance to get his coaching badges at a Premier League club that has a track record in managing the transition from player to coach isn't one he's likely to turn down hastily.

I must have missed this. What did he say?

Just hope this won't come back to haunt me – as somebody who follows Inter actively, I can assure you that he was immense for the club from the moment he arrived up until the last game of the 13-14 season.

You don't get to be the second name (after Zanetti) on the teamsheet for 10 years at one of Europe's most successful clubs unless you are the best in what you do.

Cambiasso's signing will generate such a buzz round the club. Here is a genuinely world class DM, albeit one in the latter stages of his career. In all honesty, I can see this being such a statement of intent that it will give us an edge in future signing negotiations.

Shall I start making the Chelsea-Leicester alliance pin badges?

 

lol

 

See how may you shift on Bentley's Roof.

Just make the one for yourself.

 

Don't see you selling many here and none in chelski.

Never ceases to amaze me how other clubs fans (on the whole) slate players like this if they sign for anyone like us, but given half the chance, they'd also sign them....

 

And I thought we were fickle!
