Chelsea chasing Valencia’s Miguel

January 14, 2008

Chelsea were quiet in the transfer window in the summer and are relatively low profile this month too. Yet their scouts are searching throughout Europe the players that they would require to fill in certain gaps in the team for the rest of the season and one such player as identified by club manager Avram Grant is the Chelsea right back Miguel.

Sky Sports reports that Chelsea are eyeing Miguel and are inclined to sign him this month. Grant is not too sure about Portuguese international Paulo Ferreira in that position and although he has Juliano Belletti at his disposal, he would still like someone more solid..

Now that Valencia are going through an institutional crisis, Grant should be motivated to make the move. Of course the ideal player for Chelsea would be Dani Alves, whom many consider the best right back not only in La Liga but in the world, but he appears to be sticking to Sevilla at least for the rest of the season.

What do you think? Should Chelsea sign Miguel and instill more competition into the team? Would Miguel be a good signing for the Blues?

    The idea of signing Miguel was briefly muted during Mourinho’s reign but it died down as soon it was concieved.

    I think Miguel will be a good acquisition as i have never been Feirrera’s fan. He is too slow and soft for a right back….though he used these attributes to his advantage in his early days in the premiership when he was little known.

    Juliano Belleti is a good right back too.

    i think Miguel would make a good signing but i find belleti as a very useful player. he does not just go forward like many r.backs but he cuts in and creates good chances too. he is a decent dribbler and can score goals. i consider him as the most useful player in Chelsea in the ranks of Essien and Alex

    i think miguel is a very good player defencive wise while on the other hand belletiis a very good player when it comes to going forward and give a very good cross for the striker in shot i think chealse still has enough man power to fill up the right fullback without signing any one with ferreira around

Got something to say?
