http://www.chelseafc.com/article.asp?hlid=371129 Smertin goes home Tuesday, Mar 14, 2006 Tuesday saw Chelsea complete a deal with Dynamo Moscow to take Alexey Smertin back to his native country. Chelsea will receive a fee of ￡1 million for the Russian midfielder, who has spent this season on loan at Charlton. The transfer was a complex one due to the nature of the season-long loan but both Premiership clubs successfully came to an agreement to release Smertin from his obligations. He had one year left on his Chelsea contract and nine weeks to go on his loan deal. Charlton have expressed disappointment that the player did not honour his commitment to them but the Russian captain expressed a strong desire to take up the offer of three years with Dynamo plus the chance to be reunited with his family. His permanent move to Moscow has been finalised on transfer deadline day for the new Russian league season which begins this weekend. Smertin signed for Chelsea for ￡3.8 million in the summer of 2003 from Bordeaux, but immediately went on loan to Portsmouth for an entire season. Last season was his only campaign wearing the blue of Chelsea. He started 19 games, came on as a substitute six times and scored one goal, in the Champions League against Porto at Stamford Bridge. His 16 league appearances were enough to earn a Premiership winners' medal but despite starting the season as a regular choice, he lost his place in the starting 11 to Tiago and then ultimately his place on the bench to Jiri Jarosik when the Czech arrived mid-season. The lack of match action led to a decision by all concerned that another loan would be for the best. His new permanent club, Dynamo Moscow, currently supply Chelsea with another loan midfielder, Maniche. by Paul Mason -- 我看賽季末馬尼切就回去跟北極熊一起組成中場雙人組吧.... -- Lenny Pidgeley 1984.02.07 Michael Mancienne 1988.01.08 Jonas Elmer 1988.02.28 Anthony Grant 1987.06.04 Jimmy Smith 1987.01.07 Scott Sinclair 1989.03.26 --
