Now there has been speculation a plenty this summer ever since the season finished, since the World Cup has been taking place in South Africa and more so since the news broke that Joe Cole and Michael Ballack in particular were released from the club. We are being linked with everyone and their mother at the moment.
I have had my opinion on the Benayoun signing and still stand by my opinion as Chelsea look to strengthen the squad and replace the players who have left and will be leaving the club before the start of the new season.
As reported on here the other day in one of the Daily Drivel's, Petr Cech spoke about the future Chelsea signings and reiterated the point I have been trying to make about the signing of Benayoun. If you missed it this is what he said:
"As a player I only hope that if somebody leaves, he will be replaced with a player at least with the same quality or better. I think this is important for the group then you know that if someone leaves, their departure will not create any gap between the quality of the last season and the new season."So I ask the question why not turn our attention to Wesley Sneijder?.
Today reports all over the press and the media state that Manchester United have made their interest known in the player to his club Inter Milan and their owner is even "expecting" a bid from United reportedly in the region of £29m.
We all know first hand the quality of Sneijder as he took Inter Milan to the Champions League final beating us twice along the way. His performances in the World Cup have been fantastic and he is a major major part of their success.
At the age of 26 surely this is the player we should be looking to bring to the club alongside Lampard and Essien for the new season. Sneijder is quality and there is no question about that. He would be the perfect foil for Lampard and I believe would also score for fun in the Premier League.
What do you guys think? Would you want to see Chelsea go after Sniejder?
KTBFFH!
