Matinee Monday: Chelsea’s New Signing
Portuguese international Jose Bosingwa has begun the usual, yearly transfer exodus of talent out of Portugal by agreeing a contract and twenty million Euro transfer between his current Portuguese club, FC Porto, and English Premier League runners-up Chelsea. Pundits are already saying that Chelsea overpaid and that Bosingwa won’t hack it in the Premier League.
Pundits are, for the most part, all assholes. Firstly, it’s Chelsea, so overpaying is par for the course. Secondly, I’m a Chelsea supporter and Portuguese Liga blogger so I’ve seen a shit load of both the player, the player’s game, and the nature of the English game. He’ll be just fine. Let’s hope he lights it up for the National Team this summer and justifies that hefty transfer fee.
Scolari’s announcing the full list of convoked ones at around 3:00 PM Eastern, 8:00 PM local Portuga time. As soon as he vibrates his vocal chords and shoots forth the list of the lucky twenty three, I’ll have it posted here for your perusal and discussion. Until then, do your best to keep it real.
