Ashley Cole moved from Arsenal to Chelsea on Thursday with French defender William Gallas moving in the opposite direction to bring to an end one of English football's most protracted transfer sagas.So we all knew it was coming. Poor Wayne Bridge. This came so late, and with Gallas leaving, there was no chance for him to move (to Newcastle, right?) and he's going to be stuck on the Chelsea bench.
For fantasy managers, Ashley Cole at 6.58 -- not quite transfer prices, but still -- becomes a must-have. Meanwhile, for Arsenal fans like Neal, Gallas is just shy of 9, so a bit of a stretch. And where does he play? Seemingly he will be their left fullback, but he's never been shy about the fact that he doesn't want to play there and wants to play at center back.
Will Bridge be dropped even though he is playing well? Will Chelsea let all that effort go to waste by leaving Cole on the bench at first? And how does this affect England? Both left backs at the same club means that at least one won't be having regular games. Not a good move for fantasy managers nor England supporters...
ReplyDeleteHey stop by my blog to see cole in a Chelsea Kit! http://premchamps.blogspot.com
ReplyDeleteI could see him partnering with Toure as long as Senderos is out. Once he comes back though it seems like the pressure to go to the left will be pretty big.
