Iceman

He should be allowed to go in the Summer - not now - on a free with our blessing to a club of his choice (ala Maka) and after a much deserved testimonial at SB for being such a loyal servant to Chelsea for the past 10 years. I can see him ending his career back in his homeland Italy.

Do a deal with Villareal in the Summer involving a swap with Malouda and their keeper plus us getting a few mil in cash. That will allow Carlo to go to the club of his choice in the Summer on a free with our blessing - exactly what such a loyal servant to Chelsea deserves (ala Maka) and after a much deserved testimonial at SB.

Swap Drogba for Sturridge and Michael Johnson now plus about £5m cash. Both emerging young English talents and will not rock the apple-cart by not playing every game this season. We can defer Robinho signing to the Summer - if we still want him - and if we do, part-exchange him with Alex plus £15m cash.

Bridge sold for undisclosed fee. On SSN now. Scolari said he wasn't in for Zhirkov in his interview today..

Grant??? he has nothing at all to do with it. It was Ten Cate and Steve Clarke that saw us through last season, nothing to do with Grant. The only chance Scolari has to stay with Chelsea right now is for him to get in a decent no. 2 straight away. Branca and Wilkins are nowhere near the answer!

What the hell is wrong with Ricky Carvalho? On CTV tonight, Scolari said that he had no idea when Ricky would be back and that it could be days or even months. Went as far as to insinuate that the injury is in Ricky's head. So what is going on? Nothing official from the club. Is he another whose head is being turned by Inter or another club?

allegedly in tomorrow's News of the World... http://www.newsoftheworld.co.uk/sport/8216...ea-skipper.html

Very difficult mate since he suffered a bad injury against libya

maybe we should recall him as we are not blessed with forwards at the mo.

SSN - Out for about 4 weeks potentially. The big man speaks - http://www.skysports.com/story/0,19528,11668_4106856,00.html

Not good it appears. Article on NewsNow page now, taken from an Arsenal blog. http://arsenalanalysis.blogspot.com/2008/0...ws-arsenal.html

Oh puulease Robinho. Have you already forgotten your press conference of 2 days ago when you were pleading to come to Chelsea and that your "head was already with Chelsea" blah, blah.. How so easily bought you are....!! From his official website - http://www.robinhoofficial.com/en/News/Lat...ho_on_city.aspx

It's over. Fark you Kenyon. Piss off back to Utd

:-( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robinho

On SSN. Our bloody board need sacking if true. Our squad will be far too small.

Whatever happened to our alleged interest in Huntelaar? Wasn't he meant to be a done deal for us this Summer?

Martin Samuel's interesting piece today in The Times: "Shevchenko theory test José Mourinho had a private theory on why Andriy Shevchenko flopped at Chelsea. He would not voice it publicly and, if you had heard it, you would know why. It will be interesting to see if the Ukraine striker now regains his form after his return to AC Milan." http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/sport/col...t=12&page=2 Very interesting!! Seems something dodgy IMO. Rumours circulating on our official website fans chat forum that it could possibly be that Sheva might have been on Creatine or similar substance. It's one way of preserving old players supposedly and the Italian Clubs have been suspected of allegedly doping their players for years. Arsenal allegedly used to use it for years but this substance might now be outlawed in the UK?? (anyone clarify???) Very interesting if true. Would explain a lot as to why Sheva never played here. Always wondered why Maldini et al have kept playing for so long. Presumably, Italian clubs don't have to undergo random drug tests like they do in England?? Also, makes you wonder if Sheva actually ever did have a medical here just before we signed him. If true, we can expect to see Sheva's form all of a sudden rise. Reading between his lines above, Martin Samuel might think so too.

I personally don't believe he is injured. Anyone able to shed some light? Hope he is not another being sold.....

Still showing Robinho shirts on the Chelsea megastore website. Message if you click on the shirt is that the product is now out of stock. Very bizarre. http://www.chelseamegastore.com/stores/che...giftsearch.aspx

and we also have Kalou to add to that potential quartet.

Chelsea seal Robinho deal ...? http://www.mailonsunday.co.uk/sport/footba...adrid-trip.html

Would rather spend that sort of cash on Aguero or Benzema

Mixed stories coming out from people at Chelsea. First stories this morning were rife of a new Brazilian signing hence why I posted, now the stories are that the 5pm announcement is Lampard signing a new contract. Great news if he does but hardly worthy of a world exclusive IMO.

Agree, it will be an anti-climax. Mixed stories coming out from people at Chelsea. First stories this morning were rife of a new Brazilian signing, hence why I posted. Now they are back-tracking and saying the 5pm announcement is Lampard signing a new contract. Great news if he does but hardly worthy of a world exclusive IMO.
