Cech Bosingwa - Ivanovic - Terry - A. Cole Ramires - Mikel - Essien Kalou- Drogba - Zhirkov I reckon Carlo has to give some rest to Anelka and Malouda but that team still looks potent.

Chelsea's interest in Rooney is long-standing and manager Carlo Ancelotti, who is pushing for the signing, is an avowed fan, having praised the striker last season for his performances. On the eve of Chelsea's Champions League tie against Spartak Moscow, Ancelotti admitted he would be interested. Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich is, according to sources close to him, still hoping to sign Fernando Torres having had a long-standing interest in the Liverpool striker. A bid was lodged in the summer, and although this fell below Liverpool's valuation, the club's plight, and the Spaniard's unhappiness, may lead to Chelsea making a renewed offer in the next transfer window. It is not beyond the realms of possibility that they could bid for both Rooney and Torres, with one source suggesting on Tuesday that this was "Roman's dream". Quite where that would leave Didier Drogba and Nicolas Anelka remains to be seen, although Chelsea are acutely aware that they will have to eventually replace their main strikers, who are both over 30. The Telegraph: http://www.telegraph...yne-Rooney.html Its all to early to suggest he might actually come, but im just happy that people are realising that a move to Chelsea would be magical, im not to sure on Torres tho.

"He would be well rewarded at City but, still, no way to live, is it? Particularly if there is an alternative. And there is for Rooney. If his mind is made up - and when even Ferguson accepts there is little chance of reconciliation, so should we - the most sensible option would be Chelsea." Martin Samuel I know we not allowed to post story's from the Mail but its just good to hear a journo admitting that Chelsea would be the best option for Rooney .

Why do the press always downplay how we'r actually a fucking good option for Rooney! Im sure Abromovich has fantasized about how potent Rooney and Drogba would be! He has to have some huuuge nuts if he actually goes to MAn city, he could start a war does he really want that? Imagine Rooney (Wazza) chilling at a cofffee shop in MAdrid naa that doesnt sound right...lol! Sooo come over to London Wazza come see Cobham! All that has to happen if(IF) Rooney comes to the bridge is, That Drogba can at any time give Wayne a uppercut to the jaw! For just being an absolute Commoner.... .

Please Neymar is a child and will be humbled by the likes of Drogba,lamps,Terry ect, thats just a stupid comparison. Rooney may not look to aggravate things in the dressing room, but look what he's done with his boy hood club (Everton),Cheating on his wife and now leaving United in the dirt. SO MUCH FOR LOYALTY!

Sir Alex Ferguson: I've met with Wayne and he intimated to me that he wants to leave!

Hes travelled with and hopefully will get some game time .

Well Lukaku is priced at 17 mill Euros and if we do get Neymar itll be for apromixitly 35 mill so overall a Jan spend of about 55 mill, Rooney would be that much himself. Im almost positive Rooney would ruin the atmosphere in the dressing room aaand he wants something like 250 K a week fuck that!

FUCK Rooney he may be class but he'll just cause troubles in the dressing room can u imagine Drogba and Rooney trying to get along na na na never gna happen lol. Anyway I'd rather see Carlo Spend 40 million on Neymar and Lukaku as they re the future of football.

I think we will bag both Neymar and Lukaku: 1) We have more to offer than Arsenal in terms of money and contract. 2) Lukaku himself is a Chelsea supporter and loves Drogba. 3) Neymar has publicly stated that he would love to play alongside the Chelsea super stars such as Lamps,drogs and Terry ect. 4) Our youth are now getting a chance to impress so there's no more argument about Chelsea youngsters having to warm the bench. 5) We are Champions of England and Arsenal haven't won bollocks in years. 6) And both Neymar and Lukaku have said they want to play Champions League football at the highest level where else but CHELSEA!

Chelsea have signed 11-year-old Northampton Town striker Michael Gyasi for an undisclosed fee. Gyasi plays for the Under-11s and has been with the club's centre of excellence for the last three years. The switch includes a variety of add-ons, which are subject to particular targets being met. Northampton centre of excellence boss Trevor Gould said: 'Financially the deal is good for us, and the money we will receive will aid our youth development.' 'While we obviously want to produce and keep our best players, when a Premier League club like Chelsea come knocking, as long as the deal is right for the club, we will never stand in a boy's way. 'Not only is this is a superb opportunity for Michael but it reinforces the quality of player we are bringing both into the club and through our centre of excellence.' LOL he looks tiny,but positive signs for the future

I think theres a very high possibility that Carlo buys Neymar. Gael-Lukaku-Neymar Ramires-Josh-Essien(or Obi and Clifford) 3 or 4 years time

I have no idea but it looks pretty serious loool.

I think his passion and attitude is Hilarious I just really hope we sign this guy, so CHELSEA can humble his ass!

Former Brazil coach Dunga has apparently advised Juventus FC Torino to buy Santos wonder kid Neymar and says a move to the Turin club would be in the player's best interests. "We must have patience with young people. But Juventus is a club that knows how important talent management is," Dunga told La Gazzetta dello Sport. "Neymar is very young but he has already started to make his mark with the national team." imscouting.com Why why does everyone hate on us trying to buy young talent? Chelsea have probably one of the best Academy Facilities in Europe, for fuck sakes leave the kid alone if he can play for his national side he's ready and good enough to play anywhere in the world. FACT!

NEEEEEEYYYYMAR or LUKAKU forget about Karim!

I totally agree and think it is the time for Chelsea FC and the fans to start looking toward the future. Our strength and character is by far our greatest attributes, and Terry,lamps,Essein,Alex and finally Drogs are all probably the strongest in their positions world wide. The likes of Josh,Bruma,Kakuta,possibly Lukaku and Neymar are all basically adolescents they'v got mooore than enough time to bulk up and get used to the EPL and who better to learn from then Terry,Lamps,Essien,Drogs ect. I think most chelsea fans forget the talent we have loaned out for example Matic who is a top talent and can easly handle the EPL. I reckon Carlo will integrate Strength with pace and skill, If he doesn't us the fans will let him know what we think lol. Chelsea may go through a sliight lul in the next 5 years as our youngsters get use to playing first team football week in and week out. But think about it if the likes of Josh,Bruma,Kakuta,Matic and possibly Lukaku and Neymar just to name a few, by the time there all about 25 would of had atleast 50 caps to 80 caps each thats pritty impressive and is a very solid base to work from. Anyway I dont think us the fans need to worry to much Carlo is the "Ordinary Genius" and will sort everything out. UP Blues

Yea exactly, ofcourse frank Drog and Essien would probably start for next two seasons. I was refering to how our team could look like in the next 3-4 years. Bar essien, he still has atleast 6 to 7 years in him, i hope. Its an exciting time for CFC the future could be Epicness lol.

Sturridge is a class act but he needs to play up front, he isnt much of a winger. I would love for us to get Neymar but to be honest would rather see us buy lukaku if we had to shoose between the two. Gael..Lukaku...Neymar Obi...josh...ramires

Imagine Lukaku and Neymar and Gael Up front together with Josh feeding them WOW.

Thank you very Much he doesnt look to bad but nothing incredibly special, he slightly reminds me of Wesley Snjieder. And your English isnt bad at all well done and thank you once again

If anyone can understand Dutch could they maaaybe translate what he's on about in his interview?

Imagine Drogbas Kid playing for Chelsea

They are Chelsea and as they prepare to entertain Arsenal on Sunday it is time to appreciate properly the Double-winners. The new-age Chelsea is embodied by Florent Malouda, an exceptional athlete but blessed with fabulous technique and a deep hinterland of character. "I'm a father and husband first and after that a footballer," reflected Malouda, probably the Premier League player of 2010, a Frenchman with a ready smile as he sat at Cobham, talking eloquently. "I couldn't have that smile as a player if I didn't have my family beside me. When I began to have success in football, a lot of extra responsibilities came on my shoulders. If I hadn't had that solid base with my family, I could have been crushed. Success in my personal life gives me strength to fight and become a good footballer. "My family are my best judge. Just after the Community Shield, when we lost against Man U, I came home and my four-year-old son [Aaron] was crying. That affected me more than the game. "He's Chelsea 200 per cent. He didn't want to show me he was crying but he was. Every time I come home, he says: 'Did you win?' or 'I saw you lose'. "When we conceded the goal at Man City, my wife [Florencia] told me he started crying. That's the biggest pressure I've got. My oldest daughter [Kelys] is nine, in school with kids who support other teams, so she says: 'Daddy, you have to win!' It's funny but it shows me the responsibilities I have in my career! It affects my family." Childhood experiences inevitably moulded Malouda's personality. "I come from a divorced family. I grew up with my mother and even though she was struggling in life she made me and my brothers travel to open up our minds. We started around French Guyana and went to Surinam and Brazil. It gave me a different perspective. "What I appreciate most in my career is being able to travel the world and meet a lot of different people. It's really a privilege to be at Chelsea. "My son wants to start playing for Chelsea. Didier Drogba's son is playing for the club. Maybe in 10 to 15 years, we'll be in the stands, watching our sons. I wish for a dynasty! After my career, I hope to work with Chelsea, and keep going the special feeling I have now. Not coaching! I'll leave that with JT!" The stereotyping of the club of John Terry and Ashley Cole as a brash, cash-flashing behemoth bemused Malouda. "Sometimes I just laugh. Some people are interested in the 'big story', the 'cars and girls'. "They are not interested in the people. Even before I came here, people were talking about Chelsea with a bad image, saying it was big money, but they were not thinking about the special relationship between the people who work for the club and the players. "Even in the small clubs I've been at [like Châteauroux and Guingamp], I never had this atmosphere. I'm 30 and this is the best feeling I've had in my whole career. "What we did last season with the Double was really special. The fans love us. Most of the players really appreciate the atmosphere at this club. You can see the players have committed themselves to the club long term." Open the door to the home dressing room and some controversial people lurk within, individuals like Terry, Drogba, Nicolas Anelka and Cole. To Malouda, they are friends as well as professional colleagues, they are human beings. "JT is part of the tradition of Chelsea. When it's tough and we are shaking, John is the leader who keeps us on the right path. John sets the tone before the game, analysing us to feel if we are ready or not. If he feels we are too relaxed, he will remind us: 'Guys we have to be ready'. "Sometimes at half-time, even when we are winning, if he feels we are too relaxed, and becoming sloppy, he reminds us to be focused. John shouts and speaks. When a young player starts his first game, John has a chat with him. "If a player is in a bad mood, John speaks with him. He keeps everyone together. John might have his own problems, but he has to deal with everybody else's. "Didier is a leader, a big character. In the big games, I feel this is what he is waiting for. He says: 'Stay behind me and I'll show you the way. I will take responsibility.' He makes sure everybody is motivated. "He can get too emotional but that's the way Didier is. He plays with passion. When I was in Lyon, playing against Marseille, I could feel the Marseille fans' love for Didier. Didier is really sensitive to that love. It is the same here at Chelsea. He loves to feel loved. He's a showman. "Nicolas keeps everything inside. He's very sensitive. After the World Cup [when Anelka sent home early by France], the club surrounded Nicolas with love and he was really sensitive to that. "People say he's not showing any emotion but I see it. I see Nicolas smile. He's really happy here. He doesn't give his trust easily. He needs to know you, know he can trust you, before he opens up." Malouda has built up a particularly effective left-sided axis with Cole. "Ashley knows when he goes forward I'll try to find him, even though the space is tight," added Malouda, also stressing Cole's popularity inside Stamford Bridge. "People like Ashley. Every one of us has been on the front page of the papers. Life goes on. The most important thing is that you keep the trust of the players. I hope we will always have that bond." The champions' unity has been strengthened by Carlo Ancelotti's shrewd stewardship. "When everything is good, sometimes you don't need a manager," continued Malouda, "but when we lost against Man City and Inter Milan last season, he gave us confidence again. "Even though we were shaking, he was the reference point. He keeps calm, in control and lets us know 'everything will be OK. Be philosophical under pressure. Keep believing'. "Even when we are winning, he always tells us, 'you won't win all games 4-0, you have to fight hard in every game and deliver another great performance. You are playing for a big club'. He's really close to the players. We can speak about anything with him from families to national team disappointment." Ah, those other Blues. Malouda endured a wretched summer, used poorly by Raymond Domenech as Les Misérables managed to eclipse even England in stinking out South Africa. "It wasn't easy with France, even before the World Cup," said Malouda, recalling Thierry Henry's infamous hand-ball in the play-off against Ireland. "A lot of people in the world said it was a disgrace. I wasn't very proud of the way we qualified but we had to go there and try to show we deserved it. Unfortunately, the results didn't give us the right. "I came back with a lot of questions but not a lot of answers. The best therapy was to get back to Chelsea, to work on my confidence. I was so happy to get back to Chelsea. It was like returning to the family, a great feeling. There was extra motivation. "For the English players, the fans were waiting to see their performance. They showed they are good players. For me, it was the same. "I didn't think of retiring after the World Cup but it has always been difficult for me in the national team. I became a leader with Chelsea and I want to with France. In the summer, I never felt considered a leader with France. With the new manager [Laurent Blanc], the atmosphere is more positive. "We respect him because of his playing career and because of his managerial style with Bordeaux. But there are still a lot of expectations. "We are France, a big nation. When you look at our Fifa ranking [27], we are dropping. That is the message from the manager: 'We have to get back to first'." For Chelsea, the target is the Champions League. Surely, the dream is taking on Jose Mourinho's Real Madrid in the final at Wembley? "Everyone speaks about José!" laughed Malouda of the Special One who brought him to the Bridge. "I felt he always knew which button to press to get something out of me. José analyses your personality. He puts you under pressure, wants you to be close to perfection. "But, honestly, I don't care about the opponent at Wembley. I just want to be there. We are a big club, we want to win the Champions League but we are aware it is so difficult. "In my first year, we played the final in Moscow and lost on penalties. We have always lost against the winner, so we know how tight it is. If we are strong, and believe, we can do it." Balance and belief: the Malouda way.
