I really hope you're wrong!

Why would Bastian demand a move to Real Madrid when he's wearing Lampard's England jersey?? It would make sense if Lampard played for Real, but obviously that's not the case, so your observation doesn't make much sense!

True fact, however, I do have one small arguement... It's either going to happen, or it isn't, how are we supposed to know that??

Right, this transfer saga now is as good as dead, let Hodgson have Torres... now FFS let's get a bid made for Aguero!!!

Villa's new sponsor is hilarious!! "Trade Forex like a pro"

which one is worse?? goal.com or caughtoffside.com?

It appears that Chelsea are ready to up the ante in their pursuit of Liverpool striker Fernando Torres and Carlo Ancelotti is now in the process of drawing up a player plus swap deal for the Spanish international. The Stamford Bridge boss knows that the longer time that passes without agreeing a deal for the Anfield goal machine the less likely a deal will be struck and is therefore hoping that offering some of his Blues side as part of a exchange may encourage Roy Hodgson to consider a deal. The likes of Brazilian centre back Alex, Salomon Kalou and Yuri Zhirkov are apparently on offer if the Merseyside club decides to do business. Clearly a lot depends on whether the 26 year old pushes for a Liverpool exit that seems highly unlikely given the adulation he receives from the club’s loyal support. ----------------------------------------------------- Source:- Caught Offside ----------------------------------------------------- Does this football club ever learn!? Alex?? Seriously is this a joke?!

I really would not mind Ramires at Chelsea! He'd be a useful player because he can play anywhere in midfield... and he's a youngster!

ahhh Kostas you beat me to it! that is interesting! He wanted to try and emulate Lampard's style of play. There's no smoke without a fire I guess.

Chelsea believe they are well positioned to resist interest in Ashley Cole from Real Madrid, even if the England defender decides he wants a new challenge abroad. Cole's displeasure at the intense media focus on his private life in England has raised hopes in Madrid that a deal is possible this summer, with Real goalkeeper Iker Casillas saying he was "confident" that a deal could be done that would reunite the defender with former boss Jose Mourinho. Chelsea , though, have had no indication from Cole that he wants to leave, and manager Carlo Ancelotti still regards the England left-back as integral to his plans for next season. Cole signed a new four-year contract only last September, although the interest from Madrid could still be used to negotiate improved terms. ------------------------------------- Source:- The Daily Telegraph ------------------------------------- Are we supposed to be relieved by seeing this?

How the mighty have fallen!

Yeah exactly! That's why I'm beginning to show my support for Benayoun because, after all he does want to play for the club, and wants to give 110%, and I'm all for that. He might not be a first choice player for Ancelotti, but he certainly has the Premier League experience, and all of the above. I would much rather see that in a player, rather than someone who doesn't want to play for the club and wants to move elsewhere. At the end of the day, an attitude like that gets the best out of players because they want to perform well week-in week-out.

Plus fucking one!! Khalid Boulahrouz had number 9 when he was with us and he's a defender... did I give a fuck?? Hell No! Those who do give a fuck really need to stop exaggerating and start supporting our players a bit more! Like proper Chelsea fans! Honestly!

Sparse news about Aguero! anything remotely new?? or is Carlo too busy chatting up Kaka???

It's not as if he has much of a choice not to support him now that he'll be wearing Chelsea colours from now on. He still wants Kakuta to play a part this season, and I don't blame him to be honest.

No thankyou!! I'd rather see us promote Kakuta and draft in younger additions like Khedira and Aguero than sign a wage-heavy 28-year-old Kaka! And as for Ashley (since this thread is about him) I don't want him to leave. Despite his Cheryl antics and other debarcles off the pitch, he is still the best left back in the world, and I for one would be pissed off if they even considered selling him. This summer has been about players leaving Chelsea so far, not players coming in.. it's ridiculous.

Welcome to the forums mate there is another Bosnin member on here

Dude I posted the same article earlier

we'd be saying goodbye to another Englishman if he has to go.. good idea, get rid of all our English players

Chelsea will move for Portugal left-back Fabio Coentrao if they lose England star Ashley Cole. Real Madrid boss Jose Mourinho is said to be keen to capture Cole and the Blues are bracing themselves for a bid. They do not want him to leave but fear he may demand a move to escape his private-life turmoil. He suffered flak over his split from Cheryl Cole and England's flop at the World Cup will not have helped matters. Chelsea have looked for a replacement and are keen on Benfica ace Coentrao, 22, who won rave reviews in South Africa for his attacking bursts down the left flank. ---------------------------------- Source:- The Sun ----------------------------------

yeah I agree, they're pretty good doing that!!

I remember what you said TX... "If Benayoun gets number 10 he will be a first team player" ... do you still think that's the case?

I see no real evidence from any sort of article that suggests Man City officially want Aguero

giving Benayoun number 10 is shameful! I was expecting him to get number 14 in all honesty

good point! If Aguero is handed 160k a week, then Terry and co wouldn't like that very much!
