Chelsea kick off season with a nice £14 million earner July - 31 - 2009 Adrian Mutu the former Chelsea striker who was sacked by the club for taking cocaine has lost his appeal over the compensation he has been ordered to pay by FIFA. The Court of Arbitration for Sport has agreed with FIFA that Mutu must pay the money to Chelsea for breach of his contract. Their statement said "The Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) has dismissed the appeal filed by the Romanian football player, Adrian Mutu, against the decision rendered by the Fifa Dispute Resolution Chamber (DRC) on 7th May 2008 in which he was ordered to pay €17,173,990 in compensation to his former club, Chelsea FC, for breach of contract." There is very little room for manouevre for the Romanian and unless he declares bankruptcy he will have to pay the money or face a lifetime ban from football in any form. He may be able to appeal to the European court of human rights but it is unlikely that they will hear his case as anyone that goes through the Court of Arbitration for Sport has to agree to abide by the findings in writing. But when there is £14.7 million on the table one has to think that Mutu will seek to find whatever avenues of appeal he can. It must also be noted that this is NOT a fine but compensation and so any comparisons to previous fines etc are irrelevant.

John Terry has released the following statement: 'There has been a lot of speculation recently about my future and I want to clear this up once and for all. I am totally committed to Chelsea and always have been. Chelsea have also made it clear to me consistently that there was never any intention to accept any kind of offer. 'When you are linked with any club, or with a manager who I have huge respect for, it will always make headlines but me leaving Chelsea was never a possibility. 'I know there has been comment that I should have made a statement earlier. However, throughout this period there have been numerous discussions between myself, the owner and the Chelsea Board and we all agreed that the timing of any statement would suit everyone involved in those talks, not any outside influences or agendas. 'What is clear to me following those discussions is that Chelsea's ambition remains as high as ever.This has been further proved by the appointment of Carlo Ancelotti. I am certain that he will take this club on to the next level. 'Another important factor was knowing that Chelsea would be securing key current players for the long term. The strengthening of the squad around this core is crucial to pushing us onto greater success. 'I am as committed as ever to helping drive Chelsea forward and I will be proud to lead the team for as long as I can.'

Breaking news hope its true Thierry Henry To Miss Barcelona's Chelsea Champions League Tie Barcelona have been rocked by the news that Bernabeu hero Thierry Henry will be out of action for a fortnight with a knee injury... 4 May 2009 Thierry Henry will miss Barcelona's Champions League semi-final encounter with Chelsea on Wednesday after being told that he will be out of action for at least two weeks. The French forward produced a stunning performance against Real Madrid at the weekend and was relishing the prospect of facing the Blues in the second leg at Stamford Bridge. But the knock that he picked up in the second half in the Bernabeu has turned out to be more serious than first thought and he will now miss some key matches for the Blaugrana. Henry will not only have to sit out the game against Chelsea, but he will also miss the league encounter with Villarreal next weekend, when Barca could be crowned as champions, as well as the Copa del Rey final against Athletic Club. Further tests will be made on his knee injury as the week progresses in a bid to ease him back into action as quickly as possible but the news is not what coach Pep Guardiola wanted in the build-up to the trip to London. Barcelona will now look to move Andres Iniesta up to play on the left, where he has done so effectively throughout his career, and introduce Seydou Keita or Sergi Busquets into midfield. Henry has become a firm favourite under Guardiola after struggling to adapt and cope with a back injury during his first season in Barcelona after joining from Arsenal in 2007.

Guus Hiddink has resisted any temptation to rest a significant number of regular starters. In a powerful line-up for this London derby, Ashley Cole returns at left-back with José Bosingwa swapping back to the right. Michael Ballack is one of the Barcelona starters who will begin today on the bench. That makes space in the 11 for Nicolas Anelka to join Didier Drogba in attack.
