I never said Chelsea should sign Gago, either -- I, personally, would not -- but I still think he's a solid player. And what the hell are you on about, matt? Ribery has been linked with us, and he'll clearly cost 60-plus mil. And why, may I ask, is 50mil for a 21-year-old phenom a "stupid" decision?

Villa! no chance, will never happen. Aguero for 50mill is stupid. Zhirkov i thought was a done deal? Dzeko, no idea never heard of him. Glen Johnson is pure paper talk/gobshite. Ashley Young would be good, but he'll be too pricey. AC Milan quartet, a couple of these are, i think, the most likely. Ribery $60million! you’re having a laugh!

Gago ? Im with Jnice all the way. Potential yes but quality no at least not yet , and certainly not Chelsea quality . Barca 6 - Madrid 2 'Nuff said. Completely and utterly invisible in that match just like he has been countless times.

In that case it was lovely watching you guys get whooped 6-2. Anyways, Jack, I honestly think we should pursuit a right-wing and a striker. Malouda has been class at the end of the season and I wouldn't like to see him go. El Kun is perfect for the striker role and perhaps try to snatch Silva from Valencia/Liverpool or Ribery from Munich/Madrid. If we buy Glen Johnson I will honestly go bezerk. How illogical is it to purchase a right-back every year? Especially one that was previously a Chelsea Player. 03/04 - Glen Johnson and Geremi 04/05 - Paulo Ferreira 05/06 - Lassana Diarra (who turned out to be a class player) 06/07 - Boulahrouz (played right back many games) 07/08 - Belletti and Ivanovic (also a center back) 08/09 - Bosingwa 09/10 - Who will be the winner?

Anyway, that whole tear Real went on to close the season, I’m sure that was in spite of having a wasteaway in midfield. Brilliant. Yeah, and they didn’t beat us, either. Work on your material, man.

Hard to stomach, I know. Have fun Jack. :) One more thing, Barcelona may be prevalent with bitchassness, but you didn’t beat them. Hard to stomach, I know. Have fun Jack. :)

Because Real Madrid had no other options. I repeat, they had no other options. Juande Ramos opted to be pragmatic and started two DMs in Lass and Gago and Gago was put to shame by Lass every single match. Players like Guti, van der Vaart, De la Red, and Sneijder were either too injured or in the case of the dutchies, in terrible form and Real couldn't afford to have a creative midfielder therefore Gago started. Please download some games and actually watch them before you tell me to jog on. Gago a modern defensive midfielder lol? Shouldn't a "modern" defensive midfielder know how to pass and know when not to go ground? Surely you're talking about a different Gago, right? Jack, why did he have 32 starts this past season?

The man is useless and does anyone know what Frank Arnesen does? How many youngsters have Chelsea developed over the last three years? Those two should be sacked.

I've watched Gago several times, including in Argentina's loss to Ecuador last weekend. He may not be technically "brilliant," but he's a very solid player -- proof of his 32 starts this past season. Plus, he's only 23. Jog on. Excuse me? I’ve watched Gago several times, including in Argentina’s loss to Ecuador last weekend.
