Just a goodbye to Yuri Zhirkov who has today left the club to join Anzhi Makhachkala (Yes I did have to research the spelling) Unfortunately we never got to see the best of Zhirkov, owing to injuries, formations he was unsuited to and the players where he played being in good form.
It was a shame, as we knew what Yuri could do, but he was never able to showcase it on a consistent basis, but when he did, they were classy moments.
The game against Aston Villa and his goal against Spartak instantly springing to mind.
Goodbye to him and I wish him all the best in the future with Anzhi and hope he can have future successes in his career.
A passing memory for us all to enjoy.

Best of luck Yuri
Shame it never worked out for him, injuries wrecked whnat could and indeed should have been a good career
Still wish we'd kept him and dumped Malouda instead

Shame that, he certainly wasn't one of the squad I was hoping would be offloaded this summer!

A very good piece of business Imo.Too injury prone and never really got going in the premiership.Am happy we cut our loses and sold him.Hopefully Anelka and Bos join him out.

Unfortunately if Malouda and Anelka had accepted leaving he would still be a Chelsea player! Could have been so much more, was sad when I saw it official on the website
