No More Over-30s Chelsea, Please!

Ok, ok, I expect us to be linked with a lot of players between now and next season.  There’s rumours of Abramovich getting his wallet out and we know we need a complete overhaul if we’re going to seriously compete next season, so it’s par for the course really.

There’s one recent link I really can’t take seriously at all though – Hertha Berlin’s Josip Simunic. I mean, come on, the bloke’s 31 ffs. Is our reputation for bringing in anyone nearing retirement so bad we’ll be linked with anyone over the age of 30 now?

The defender has apparently expressed his desire to play in the Premier League and that alone has been enough for the press to associate him with us – well, that and his age group obviously – and Hertha Berlin coach Dieter Hoeness (no doubt rubbing his hands) says “He is an outstanding talent.  Selling star players is always a possibility so that we can fund new signings.  By selling, we have the chance to build our squad.  It gives us a way forward for the future.”

Not to mention giving you an excessive amount of money for an ageing player eh Dieter?
