[Gundam]

Not good enough for Chelsea.

[Guest FaZe]

[BATTY BOY BUM BANDIT]

Reading are pissed.Thier best player has left, and they didnt even collect a penny for him.

[Guest the_truth_hurts]

Are you crazy its a great move for him not only has he doubled his wages, trebled his England hopes and increased his chances of winning silverware 500 times, he can cement himself a place in the squad after Makalele retires and Ballack leaves. Diarra, Obi and Essien are the future of chelsea, Sidewell can establish himself as firm back up or even if he don't get played enoughh he can still get a move to a top half premiership team.

[MEIRELES.]

Career dead.

[Lenny]

if he doesnt get many games then it shouldnt b 2 hard 4 him 2 get a move 2 a top half premiership teamso i dont think he has much 2 loseplus playing with a team the standard of chelseas will teach him a lot

[darkman]

We shoulda brought him back, just shows Wenger dont like english players.

[scared of who?]

His career aint dead.

LMAO @ Sidwell being better than either Fabregas, Gilberto, Denilson or Diaby I would MUCH rather have any of them than Sidwell.

[anelka]

Aint watched him properly, but from highlights he looks a decent playerWenger always thought highly of him, good luck 2 the lad...

[Mr Q]

lets hope it doesnt go all SWP for him

Chelsea are stronger than us in central midfield, they got Ballack, Makelele, Lampard, Essien, Mikel and still bought himFor a free transfer I reckon its worth it

[Guest Ryan]

In the Carling Cup final our midfield of Walcott, Fabregas, Denilson and Diaby (3 central midfielders by trade) were having up Chelsea's midfield of Makelele, Lampard, Ballack and Essien (4 central midfielders by trade).
