Flyin' high....up in the sky.....from Stamford Bridge to Wem-ber-ley....we'll keep the BLUE FLAG flyin' high.....
Amen
We are being linked with a lot of names from all the big clubs which I hate. The only one I would break the bank for is Riberry but he only seems to want Madrid. He's all class. Deco has criticised the club publicly so I would say he'll be out before the season starts. Hopefully Carvalho will stay on. So far we seem to be buying younger, less well known players which bodes well for the future. But, like Malouda, they need time to find their feet in the EPL. JT? Won't be going anywhere unless Chelsea want to sell. Can't imagine that will happen for a minute.
Chelsea captain John Terry has told Roman Abramovich that he wants to hold talks with Manchester City about a possible �40m move, according to reports in the UK press.
The Sunday Times claim Chelsea were willing to make Terry the club's highest paid player, ahead of Frank Lampard, but they would not match City's offer of �250,000 a week, plus a �5m signing-on fee.
Terry is thought to want to hear for himself what the Citizens have to offer but Chelsea insiders believe the 28-year-old is just using the transfer speculation to negotiate a better contract at Stamford Bridge.
If the England captain does head to Eastlands, the London club could replace him with Newcastle United centre-back Steven Taylor and will pay up to �10m for the 23-year-old.
Meanwhile, should City manager Mark Hughes miss out on Terry he will turn his attention to Porto defender Bruno Alves. The �20m-rated Portugal international is also wanted by Barcelona.
Club owner Roman Abramovich is reported to have met with the Chelsea and England defender over the weekend to discuss the ongoing interest from Mark Hughes' club, but talk of a new deal has been dismissed.
The two are set to meet again as Chelsea make a last ditch attempt to persuade Terry that his future remains at Stamford Bridge - but if Abramovich fails to convince Terry of his place at Chelsea then they could face the prospect of the heart of Londoners defence heading up North. (The Daily Mail)
