Chelsea Link-up With DC United

How’s Salt Lake treating you, Freddy? It must suck being the only black guy in Utah besides Karl Malone and Carlos Boozer. Hope that magic underwear keeps you warm.

In what has to be a bitter pill, DC United and Chelsea are in link-up talks. According to Tribal Football in addition to the Mail, DC United officials are engaged in talks in London over a link-up which would give Chelsea access to college players in addition to increased access to the US and a lesson in American PR which they desperately need if their past two US tours are anything to go by.

Mustafa followed Chelsea on their east coast tour two years ago and saw them play in Philadelphia, Foxboro, New York and DC. Nothing was better than seeing the look of confusion and/or fear on Freddy’s face as we chanted “You’ll never play for Chelsea” and “Chelsea reject” as he collected a ball out of bounds during the match at FedEx.

The Deuce thinks links between the two clubs could pay off for DC in terms of publicity and possible chances for players to train under Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho or (more likely) in the Chelsea reserves. Who knows? Maybe we could get an old, beat-up Frank Lampard or John Terry to finish their playing days in Anacostia. Who wouldn’t love that?
