Ben zelf veel te jong om hem in actie te hebben gezien, maar ik weet wel dat het een geweldige voetballer was en een clubicoon uit de Chelsea-jeugd. Op de homepage een uitgebreider verhaal over hem: http://www.chelseafc.com/page/LatestNews/0,,10268~1396313,00.htmlquote:RAY RETURNS
Posted on: Thu 18 Sep 2008
Chelsea Football Club is delighted to announce the appointment of Ray Wilkins as assistant first team coach.
He brings with him a wealth of experience and expertise from his time in British and European football, and resumes a career with Chelsea that began 35 years ago when the then 17-year-old from Hillingdon in west London signed as an apprentice, making his first team debut in the same month, October 1973.
His time as a schoolboy under the wing of club had begun with Chelsea riding the crest of a wave but by the time Wilkins was ready for an early introduction to the Stamford Bridge crowd, shaky finance and shaky football had set in.
A team devoid of confidence was far from the perfect environment to nurture the best new talent at the club but what the downturn did provide was opportunity - and among the dying embers of the 1974/75 season and our top-flight status, Wilkins became Chelsea's youngest captain at the tender age of 18.
Relegation by then was impossible to prevent and with zero cash for new players, Chelsea fell back on homegrowns to keep the club alive. Playing every single game for two seasons, the new skipper lead us back to the First Division with promotion coming at the end of the 1976/77 campaign. He was voted Chelsea Player of the Year in both 1976 and 1977.
Verstandig, want de selectie werd wel erg dun.quote:CHELSEA SIGN MINEIRO
Posted on: Wed 24 Sep 2008
Chelsea Football Club can confirm the signing of Mineiro who was released by Hertha Berlin as a free agent at the end of last season.
The deal, the details of which will remain confidential, will see him remain at the club until the end of the season.
Mineiro becomes the third Brazilian in the squad, linking up with manager Luiz Felipe Scolari and his backroom staff alongside Juliano Belletti and Alex.
A defensive midfielder, he has 24 caps for Brazil, and was a member of the 2006 World Cup squad, as well as appearing against England at Wembley in 2007.
Mineiro was released by Hertha at the end of last season, and has since been unattached.
Upon announcing the imminent arrival, Scolari explained the decision to sign the 33-year-old.
'He is a player that I need because I lost Michael Essien for six months. I have one midfielder like him, Mikel.
'So this week he will not play but maybe after 15 days to two weeks, he is ready to play normal games. He needs to play some games in the reserve team, and for me it is very good because I have one more player in this position. If not I have to put in Belletti or Ferreira, or Ballack, and they are not for this position.
'I say to fans of Chelsea, if they remember Makelele, Mineiro is the same. Good positionally, a very good marker. He is a man that works for the other players and he is also a good man outside of the pitch.'
Welke wedstrijd was het ook al weer dat Belletti daar stond? Deed het goed geloof ik. Maar op zich wel slim om iemand te halen, door Essiens blessure is het daar wel dun bezet. En dat ie "the same" is als Makalele zullen we maar aan Scolari's beperkte beheersing van het Engels toeschrijvenquote:Op woensdag 24 september 2008 18:53 schreef mcyodogg het volgende:

Chelsea Football Club has issued a claim at the High Court in relation to the transfer of Jon Mikel Obi in June 2006.
The claim is against FC Lyn Oslo and Morgen Andersen and follows the criminal conviction in Norway of Lyn's former chief executive officer Morgan Andersen.
It is for the entire £16 million fee paid by Chelsea for the player as it is now clear following Andersen's conviction that the transfer was based on the fraudulent misrepresentation that Mikel had an employment contract with Lyn.
At the time of the transfer, Chelsea, Lyn and Manchester United agreed that the fees paid would be in final settlement of the transfer, any claims related to it and that no further action or comment regarding the transfer would be made.
Chelsea has written to Lyn to make clear that because the transfer was based on a fraudulent misrepresentation, now proven by a court of law, the settlement previously agreed is not binding.
Chelsea is in contact with Lyn and looks forward to working positively with them to resolve the claim promptly.
Chelsea would like to make clear that this legal action is against Lyn and Morgen Andersen.
Man Utd heeft er destijds zoiets voor gehad ja. Lyn zelf volgens de BBC 4M. Snap niet zo heel goed hoe ze van hem dan het hele bedrag terug willen krijgen. Maakt niet uit ook eigenlijk zo lang het Man Utd maar niks kostquote:Op vrijdag 10 oktober 2008 15:48 schreef mcyodogg het volgende:

Wel een aparte construcxtie, want volgens mij is hij via Man. Untd gekocht destijds, die er 10 miljoen winst op maakten.
Hij had volgens mij een voorcontract getekend bij Utd en wou toch liever naar Chelsea en na wat gezeur links en rechts heeft Chelsea het grootste gedeelte idd aan Utd betaald en de rest aan Lynnquote:Op vrijdag 10 oktober 2008 15:48 schreef mcyodogg het volgende:
