Ashley Cole - Swap for Àngel Di Marià

The return of the 'great' Didier Drogba as a Chelsea legend described by His manager Peter Hardman may cast uncertainty into the minds of a few Chelsea supporters with the player at the right old age of 35, being half the player he once was 5 years ago. Despite this, Peter has decided to lure him back to Stamford Bridge, as he believes with his heading ability and experience, along with many other players in this Chelsea team like John Terry, Frank Lampard and Petr Cech, can win him games. Also joining within the Chelsea ranks is Antonio Candreva, who had impressed playing for Lazio during the 2013/14 season putting in many quality performances and creating a whole host of magnificent goals as well as scoring a few. It is reported that he has been putting in some excellent displays for his new club in their 11 game series against Manchester City, a series they have failed to loose in after 7 dominant games. The final addition to this ever improving Chelsea team is the pacy winger Àngel Di Marià. His darting runs down the flanks and impressive crosses have earnt him a place in a team that will utilise his abilities a great deal.

 

Surplus to requirements, Oscar has decided to seek a new future in Spain with Atletico Madrid for a fee estimated around 50m. The Cameroonian Phenomenon, Samuel Eto'o has joined AS Monaco along with Manchester City's Samir Nasri. It is thought that his age was a factor due to his departure as well as his lack of fitness and heading ability, something valued very much by Hardman. Finally, Ashley Cole leaves for Real Madrid in a swap for Àngel Di Marià, after a season of disappointment sitting on the sidelines at Stamford Bridge.
