England: Club by Club Transfer Guide


Chelsea

Chelsea spent much of the summer promising a marquee signing, but their inability to deliver one reflected both Roman Abramovich’s reduced largesse and the manner in which Real Madrid have changed the rules of engagement in the transfer market. Yuri Zhirkov was the club’s only significant signing.




In:
N Matic (MFK Kosice, £1.5m), D Sturridge (Manchester City, subject to tribunal), R Turnbull (Middlesbrough, free), Y Zhirkov (CSKA Moscow, £18m).

Out: B Sahar (Espanyol, £1m), R Bertrand (Reading, loan), J Cork (Coventry City, loan), S Cummings (West Bromwich Albion, loan), F Di Santo (Blackburn Rovers, loan), M Mancienne (Wolverhampton Wanderers, loan), J Mellis (Southampton, loan), F Nouble (West Ham United, undisclosed), M Nielsen (Alkmaar, nominal), C Pizarro (Werder Bremen, undisclosed), L Sawyer (Southend United, loan), A Shevchenko (Dynamo Kiev, free), S Sinclair (Wigan Athletic, loan), T Taiwo (Carlisle United, loan), S Tejera (Mallorca, nominal).
