One Big, Happy, Circle Zhirk!

I really wasn't going to touch this topic... mainly cause I don't really know much about Yuri Zhirkov. I mean I'm sure he's a nice guy'n all and I'm sure he loves cold winter's just as much as the next guy... so then why has he moved to a club notorious for plunging talented midfielders (other than Lampard) into the depths of obscurity? Something smells a little fishy and no it ain't that Russian pie cooling on the window sill.
The Russian Premier League is about half way through its 30 match season, which means that had Yuri stuck around at CSKA Moscow, he would have been in his off season (as was the case in Euro '08) for Russia's World Cup campaign next year (providing they qualify). In steps Guus 'Looking out for my best interests' Hiddink, who turns to a man that doesn't need to be asked twice about signing a fellow comrade and who will in turn buy the player and rams him down the new manager, Carlo Ancelotti's throat... story sound familiar?
The new gaffer then puts on a brave face so as to make nice with the owner and BAM! Yuri Zhirkov is a Chelsea player! Ah, you've gotta love circle jerk's with a happy ending... could this one be a little premature though?
