Portugal midfielder Deco signed with Chelsea fc


No more Deco transfer, future saga. It's official. Today it was announced on Chelsea FC's official website that Deco signed with the club. What a relief.

Now we know Deco won't go to Inter. By far, unanimously on Portuguese soccer blogs, like Revista Futebolista, the best player of the portugal team in the Euro 2008.

Now we only need to worry about 2 rumoured to go to Inter, Lampard and Quaresma. Nothing's for sure yet on those two. The photo on the right is Deco, #20 shorts, and Quaresma, #17 shorts, after the Euro 2008 game against Czech Republic. Photo: http://euro2008.sapo.pt/multimedia/fotos/treinos

By now you've seen the UEFA Ideal team. 3 Portuguese players made it in. One of them, midfielder Deco.

I thought I'd post this photo of Deco and Paolo Ferreira during the Euro 2008 training sessions.

So he's due to arrive on Friday. August 1st we can see him with the Chelsea jersey. The first club friendly. I found this widget on oleole.com. There are widgets for any club or national team with the last and next game.

I look forward to seeing the thoughts of frequent commentators, Aravind from Living True Blue, and Bharath Ram from Chelsea FC-True Blue on this signing.
