Mourinho to get £2m Tal Ben Haim
-
CHELSEA hope to sign Tal Ben Haim this week as a peace offering to Jose Mourinho.
Bolton’s Israel defender will become a £2million gift from Roman Abramovich to bury the hatchet with his manager. But Mourinho could still test the club’s backing by pressing them to sign Blackburn striker Benni McCarthy.
SunSport revealed yesterday how chief executive Peter Kenyon brokered a peace pact on Sunday night which included the purchase of a new defender.
Mourinho responded by saying he would accept his bossesÂ’ word when he saw a player sign. Agents moved into action yesterday but the move was delayed when Chelsea attempted to offer players rather than cash.
Shaun Wright-Phillips is understood to have refused the offer to go on loan at Bolton for the rest of the season while boss Sam Allardyce said no to a swap deal involving Lassana Diarra.
Bolton are determined to get £3m for Ben Haim, 24, who Chelsea want to feature against Liverpool on Saturday — but so far the Blues have offered £1.25m for a player who is out of contract this summer.
Mourinho still wants a striker to bolster his Champions League bid. And McCarthy, 29, a player he once signed for Porto and who helped him to Euro glory in 2004 is his top target.
The South African ace only cost £2.5m when he moved to Rovers last summer but his value has rocketed after netting 13 goals. -
Wow. $2 Million? That is a cheap buy for a rather established defender. Not confirmed right?

Then I think Chelsea may think twice about getting him. I THINK Chelsea is going cheap on purchases this time around.Originally posted by dragg:i dont think he is cheap.

what is SWP thinking?
why doesnt he want to go on loan to bolton where he can get a chance to play? -
I THINK he still harbors hope of getting into 1st team play with Chelsea and especially now that with a huge injury list, his chances of playing for Chelsea is higher. Lets all see what he can REALLY do in Chelsea.Originally posted by dragg:what is SWP thinking?

Personally I think he should NOT have joined Chelsea in the first place, but hey I am not the one of da Board of directors of Manchester City at that time.

he should come to his sense and go to bolton. it is obvious chelsea is trying to offload him.
bolton is good enough for him. -

SWP should stay and be then next winston boagard.
but ben haim so cheap?? he is young,reliable and consistant. bolton should hold chelsea to ransom then get the money to buy players who are not in their 30s -
bolton is asking for 3 mill. i think chelsea will agree. 1 mill is like, er, 1 cent.Originally posted by used:SWP should stay and be then next winston boagard.

Out of contract. So Bolton better sell soon OR improve the contract and get him to sign right away. Else he go off free...

i read somewhere he doesent want to sign a new contract wif bolton.
-
Liverpool shld also try to get Ben Haim leh. Manu too! Maybe Arsenal also?Originally posted by used:i read somewhere he doesent want to sign a new contract wif bolton. -
the other 3 teams wont go for haim. they'll be happy chelsea is not buying another big name.Originally posted by Bontakun:Liverpool shld also try to get Ben Haim leh. Manu too! Maybe Arsenal also? -
Hmm... Ok... At least now they seemed happier Chelsea is not loading the money into a gun and shooting it off like a mini gun or vulcan.Originally posted by dragg:the other 3 teams wont go for haim. they'll be happy chelsea is not buying another big name. -
So many clubs want swp... Bolton Wanderers, Manchester City, Aston Villa, West Ham United... and yet he still can't get the picture that Chelsea wants to offload him?
If he don't go, they can't bring in another winger... -
bolton should ask for boularouz
-
I don't understand Ben Haim, is he really that good?
Yes, considering he won't be UCL cup-tied..
but with JT coming back, this guy will most probably sit on the bench again.
unsure whether he will want such a future? -
bel haim will be free end of season, 2mil is too much.
and chelsea should sign viduka. i really like him alot since he's leeds days. although he is somewhat similar to drogba but he should be cheap too.
