D*mn it Nick, you beat me to it!!!
MADRID (Reuters)(DS) - Relegated Atletico Madrid have agreed a $20.83 million (13.92 million pound) deal to sell Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink to premier league club Chelsea, the Spanish club has confirmed. Atletico vice-president Miguel Angel Gil told Spanish state television the club would receive 3,700 million pesetas for the Dutch international striker. "Hasselbaink will move to Chelsea," Gil said. "All that remains is for the clubs to exchange faxes and for the signing to be ratified by the premier league."
The player will also have to finalise personal terms with Chelsea, who have been leading the
race for his signature since Atletico were relegated from the Spanish first division earlier this month.
Hasslebaink, who arrived from Leeds United in the summer of 1999, was the one success
story for Atletico in their relegation season.
The Dutchman scored 24 league goals for the Spanish club -- exactly half their total for the whole team.
YIPEEYIYAY!!!!!! WOOOOOOHOO!!
Does this mean we may score some goals next year?? Heaven forbid!!
To EclipsE: You THINK it's an improvement!! What does it take to get you going??? Adrenalin straight to the heart I'll bet...
