Sunderland Preview: Didier is Our Marquee Signing


COME ON CHELSEA

Final away game of last season, first away game this season. Chelsea travel to the Stadium of Light tonight to face a Sunderland team rejuvenated under Steve Bruce. Games against Brucey are always difficult as has proved in the past against his Wigan and Birmingham sides but we have always managed to eek out a result.

With the likes of Kenwyne Jones in their side, Brucey's style of football will suit the Sunderland hitman as proved in the their win at Bolton at the weekend.

The dictionary definition of 'Marquee' is as follows: 'Large tent used for a party or exhibition.'

Why the word Marquee has been used for any club signing a 'major name' no-one knows, but I know our 'Marquee' sigining this season has been Didier Drogba and John Terry was insistent that Didier stayed while he was being courted by Money Citeh.

Prior to the season starting, Didier signed a new three-year contract. Didier as we all know became disenchanted with life at The Bridge, then along came GUUS and he was revitalised.

Didier ended up scoring one of the goals in our FA Cup Final win against Everton in May and last Saturday scored an absolute beauty against Hull City from 30 yards and then the late late winner, which the man himself admitted was 'lucky.'

Didier is four goals away from scoring 100 goals for Chelsea and a repeat of the 2006-07 season when Didier scored 33 goals will do just nicely.

Agreed - this could be a tough one yet as always we want the 3 points....

Kenwyne "Could he be another Drogba?" Jones was on-fire at the weekend according to reports.
