IVANOVIK POISED TO SIGN

[Alan]

Kenyon on any potential new signings:

Peter Kenyon has spoken of the lengthy negotiations needed to bring Nicolas Anelka to Chelsea while also giving an update on the quest to sign further new players.'I think we're still looking as always, not for many but for the right ones and there will hopefully be another announcement next week,' the chief executive said, talking exclusively to Chelsea TV in the wake of the Anelka signing.

he probabbly needs to go on holiday again

Ivanovic deal agreed. On the official CFC website and now on Sky breaking news banner

Okay so he is as good as signed. Now we just wait for Chelsea to reveal him.

Have you watched those two youtube Bane Ivanovic compilations? (choice of music in those: weird!)

He seems to be Carvalho type defender. Not too much defending in those clips, but otherwise. Carvo could run past 11 guys and score..if he wanted to.

This Ivanovic guy seems to be fast and strong enough to play in the EPL. Good at corners and has a decent shot. Defending skills? Who knows.. but I think Avram would not have considered him if he wasn't good at that.

Good at corners? Really? You're not just saying that to make me happy?

 

[bonetti]

I know Ivanovic personly

So lots of insights and club gossip coming to the CSR then?!!

Valerie centre halfs are like women at corners.

They need service..... there's no point just slinging one in the box

He seems to be good at corners in the box. I don't if he's any good at giving them...Sorry if I have risen your hopes of us getting a decent corner giver. My bad.

[TheWestwayWonder]

he seems like a pretty ordinary height, but stocky. Should be useful for cutting the legs out from under some of England's lighterweighs

Not sure if this was here or somewhere else, but can anyone comment on the fact that he has been called chopper-esque? A real tough customer and no-holds barred tackler (I was just thinking more red cards were in order)

He is 6 foot 2 - which makes him the same size as JT - how big do you want him to be?

Let's see people cross the ball with him in the 6 yard box!

(PS: I believe that may be SWP at the front, before he got a tan...)

is the one on the left sheva?
