Wright-Phillips to be shown the door at Chelsea
-
Phillips, a £24million Mourinho purchased.
Shaun Wright-Phillips has been shown the door at Chelsea - and Portsmouth are leading the race to sign the England international. The Stamford Bridge outfit have begun their summer clearout before the tenure of Luiz Felipe Scolari begins on July 1 - and Wright-Phillips heads the list of exiles.
Chelsea paid Manchester City £24million for the diminutive winger in 2005, yet Wright-Phillips was so far down the pecking order that he did not merit a place on the bench during May's Champions League final.
Since joinig Chelsea, Wright-Phillips' value has diminished, with Chelsea understood to value the player at £10m, say the Independent.
Wright-Phillips tops Redknapp's summer wish list, which also includes fellow English internationals Peter Crouch and Reading's Nicky Shorey.
Pompey will tempt Liverpoool with a £10m bid for striker Crouch, while relegated Reading may not be able to refuse a £3.5m, bid for left-back Shorey.

He shouldn't even join Chelsea in the first place. He could get more experience elsewhere then.
-
his fitness is the letdown...stats on FIFA08 game isnt that good..
-
I don't think there is a problem with his fitness at all, I think its more like he can't even cross a good ball into the box from the wing for his strikers... Mourinho worst purchase considering the amount paid...

He is explosive, the thing with his crosses is that there isnt enuf cultivation in big games. Mourinho never have bad purchases...its Roman doing all the bad bad buying....
