If you look at that picture, isn't that the special shirt they wore against us in that mini tournament?

Re: Yaya (Merged)
Well he only played 20 odd games in France.. Anyway, I agree, he could be a great signing, however I really don't see him as a box-to-box player - that is going on what I have seen of him at club and country level.

None from Greece, that's just what I heard, and only saw him at Monaco in European round up shows and on internet sites that used to offer the same sort of thing, like 101goals.com.
I'd never claim to be an expert on his time in Greece or France, nor would I on his time at Barca for that matter, but my opinion, from what I did see, is that he could be what we need.

Maybe not in the sense of Vieira in his prime, but he's definitely a step up from what we have now in terms of all round midfielders.

Re: Yaya (Merged)
Yaya will know that his brother's actually 42 so he won't expect him to be playing regularly. ;)
I think Mourinho may decide Kaka is surplus to requirements at Real Madrid and Ancelotti will be after him in a flash so I don't think Chelsea will be after Yaya as well, unless they're planning on letting Lampard go the other way, in which case they might but I've still got a feeling he'll be in a lighter shade of blue next year.
