Just reported on Sky Sports News.

I'm excited now, officially.

SSN just announced that we are trying hijack the deal for him, could be bull but who knows

I have been against signing him every time we have been linked to him but with things as they are I would actually welcome this.

Yea, sorry, bit of a misleading title, looks exciting though.

Depends on where he is probably, can we get a medical done in half an hour, even if he is in the country for the Tottenham reported deal?

At least we're not sitting back and doing nothing! (Assuming the reports are true).

excited

he has been poor for inter but could be what we need and i think Scolari could sort him out

Update: We have confirmed interest according to SSN.

Yeah he has been a total disaster in Italy, but why not? At least it is someone, something, an option that doesn't begin with k or m. Do it Chelsea.

Portugese of course!

Shall we try and get it up to 48 pages in this thread before he signs for Spuds! :D

Would welcome this, but we have been in this situation before (maybe in not quite the same light)

Mixed feelings here. Hard to think he could be worse than what we have but at the same time he has been a massive disappointment at Inter. Jose seems to think he hasn't got the mental strength to cope and that's the last thing we need right now.

Loan move probably wouldn't hurt. He's certainly more talented than either Kalou or Malouda but his attitude was always questionable.

it will be worth it if malouda doesn't play in a blue shirt again

He's got a left foot and doesnt have an ALOU in his name thats a start

O DEAR PLS SAY THIS AINT BULL CRAP.. THIS IS THE KIND OF SIGNING WE NEED RIGHT NOW WITH JOEY OUT..

Agreed. Got a horrible feeling we've left this too late though.

SCOLARI HAS THE SAME AGENT AS QUARESMA.. HOW EASY DOES THAT MAKE THINGS LOL..

BBC reporting that Chelsea have denied any interest

I heard about this a couple of hours ago in connection with the Lennon to Liverpool rumors. If Spurs got Quaresma when he is so clearly done in Milan and we didnt even make an inquiry it would be foolish. By the same token, I feel like Inter owe us something for all the freebees we have given them, Jose included

I know Quaresma's attitude can be terrible, but at this point I will take anything. I dont really care what their name is. Also, my mind turns to the Scolari honeymoon when Anelka and Kalou looked much better than they do now. Maybe its possible again?

:D I picked a good day to get sick off work

f**ks sake, I was well excited until you came along ethical :D

*cries*

BBC reporting that Chelsea have denied any interest

damnit, well that was quick

SSN still sayings we're trying to get it through at the death.

Yeah the bloke on SSN is well convinced..

I have never really rated Quaresma and wouldn't choose him as a last minute of the window signing purely because he's availlable.

If he comes here I dont think it will be long before he gets added to the players people want rid of in the summer, the only positive for me is its another option..not a good reason to sign a player really.

Maybe Mourinho will help us out and let us have him on loan for the rest of the season with a view to buying him in the summer if he can hack it in the prem.

1648: Chelsea have told us they are not expecting anyone in or out before the transfer window closes, so rumours of a deal for Inter's Ricardo Quaresma are wide of the mark.

From the BBC website

1707: "According to the Portuguese press Quaresma has been loaned out to Chelsea till the end of the season."

From the BBC Sport website...no links or anything though...

Yahoo are saying it is a loan deal till the end of the season but that it i still to be finalised.

I don't think he is good enough to be a regular first team player on an ongoing basis but he is better than Malouda and he will bring us much needed pace. A short term loan deal would beideal.
