Chelsea complete Deco deal

no doubt barca will be in for fletch now then

Great player but not sure he's a great signing. He's a prober and needs time. Can't see him getting much his own way over here. He is lightweight too for this league not to coin an obvious cliché.

Messi is lightweight before anyone says and I think hed be a success over here but he's rapid so he has a way around getting suffocated out of games.

Great news for United, looks like Lampard is on his way out.

Lampard would get more goals on his own than Essien, Ballack & Deco will get together.

Deco is a great player but not sure how he will adapt to the premiership.

No need to worry, they have signed Keita

Hope you're right though and he doesn't make it here but I just can't see it....look at who he's got company in midfield and he's got plenty of Portuguese players around him aswell to settle in fine.

He always performs under Scolari. I don't see how this is anything but a brilliant signing. Guess we can just hope it doesn't work out.

I can only go off what ive seen mate, i see a little bit of Spanish football and he just doesnt impresss me.

But it's just my opinion, hope im right, i usually am

Don't tell me you just called him 'Joey' Cole Gins?

re fees: i know it's de rigeur to slag him off on here, but i'm surprised at the 7m lampard is supposed to be going for. i would've thought it would've been a lot higher.

Simply because he's in the last year of his contract - be a freebie next year.

Looks like Henry's ugly half brother.

Deco is a quality player, but I'm not sure he'll handle a wet Wednesday night at Ewood Park.

There's actually a degree of seriousness in that. Only a small degree mind.

Deco's a superb player but won't get anything like the amount of (mostly flukey, jammy,deflected) goals that Lampard would have got.


I really hope Lampard goes.

Good signing that.

Who cares what he likes to be known.

Big headed, short-arse, half disabled @#%&!.

So Chelsea have paid £8m for Deco and Liverpool are paying £15m+ for 'Bareth Garry'...

I know Barry Gareth is younger but I often wonder where the vermin get their 'inspired' signings from

Spot on.

You'd have Deco every £#%&!ing time.Especially when your side is screaming out for some creativity.

Deco is a awesome player and nobody can deny that,on his day he can tear any defence apart....nice signing tbh from chelski point of view...

rather them have him than deflection lampard, who'l have to be off now.

I was never a big fan of Deco (I think it was more to do with him being snide rather than a lack of ability) but at this years Euro's, I thought he was outstanding. Portugal's best player by a mile.

Of course if he had signed for us, it would be, he's a fantastic signing great little player etc, which he is of course if a little injury prone in recent years.
