Wright-Phillips to be transfer listed

S

Scotto

Reserve Team
Chelsea have sparked a summer scramble for winger Shaun Wright-Phillips by admitting he can leave Stamford Bridge for £10million.

The 25-year-old cost the Blues £21million when he was signed from Manchester City in July 2005.

But he has failed to cement a regular first-team place under Jose Mourinho, who is now prepared to cash in on Wright-Phillips to generate some transfer funds for his own squad strengthening plans.

Roman Abramovich's wallet has been closed to the Portuguese coach, who has added three new players to his playing pool in the form of Claudio Pizarro, Steve Sidwell and Tal Ben Haim - but all on free transfers.

Mourinho already has a headache over who to select in midfield, with the likes of Michael Ballack, Frank Lampard, Arjen Robben, Michael Essien and Jon Obi Mikel battling for starting roles.

The Blues boss knows Wright-Phillips has a number of admirers willing to meet the club's asking price, with West Ham, Aston Villa, Tottenham, Liverpool, Newcastle and his former employers City all set to vye for his signature.

10mil?! They must be having a laugh.

Actually I think it is a very good thing that his career has kind of fizzled into much of nothing. Shame he had to be the player to be made into a case study of why going to Chelsea for some players is simply stupid, but someone had to do it, be it.

Hasn't stopped others following suit though :S

Is there a source for this?

I haven't heard anything about him being transfer listed in the near future, only that West Ham are likely to bid £10m but Ian Wright has been quoted as saying that he's likely to stay at Chelsea and try and force his way into the starting lineup.

Also on the possibility of a move to Aston Villa...I think O'Neill will play Ashley Young on the right wing next season, especially with Abonglahor, Carew, Luke Moore all vying to play upfront and Bellamy also being linked with a move to Villa Park.

What ya mean? 10 million is too much or too little for him?

I think it's about right. If anything, it's too much. Big loss of money for Chelsea but he hasn't played enough. Not many teams will pay more than that for him.

Where the fu<k did you read that crap Scotto. It's gotta be the SUN. That is just pure bulls.h.it and your thread belongs in the transfer rumour thread if anywhere. Actually I dont know why you bothered to post it at all without a source of some kind. Completely worthless information mate.

What are you talking about? Anything bad mouthing Chelsea as a club or one of their players in any way, no matter what they have done, can only be biased irrational hatred and pure fabrication.

I've always wondered do they have real transfer lists like in football games? (H)

Is it just me or is The Sun posting way more crap than it usually does at this time of year?

Here's the thing, young players like Shaun Wright-Phillips have guys in their ear telling them that they are the best player in the world and they will earn their way into the starting lineup when Chelsea realizes their true skill. Usually their posse overrates them and gives them a big head for the young players. For someone like Ballack or Pizzaro however, going to Chelsea even to sit on the bench is the correct move. Football is a business and at 29 or 30 a player is coming into his last big payday. Going to Chelsea is the best move professionally.

Well this story originated from the Sun Scotto, and I think every article you might have read did quote the Sun as it's source. I know you wouldn't use anything from the Sun normally mate so I guess this was just an honest oversight on your part, so no problem.

That scummy rag will print anything about anyone, usually it's 100% fabrication. They just simply make things up to stir up s.hit. The people involved just try to ignore anything the Sun might say, but the Sun knows that if they push their lies far enough, then eventually the victim has no choice but to release a statement saying that the story is false. The Sun wins both ways. They create a situation by telling a lie, knowing that they will eventually drag out a denial from those concerned, hereby elongating a story that was made up in the first place.

Someone should just blow the Sun out of existence, ( where is a fanatical bomber to be found when you really need one?:wootman:), and hopefully blow Murdoch out of existence at the same time.
