I don't blame you, but I wouldn't go that far as to hope he leaves xD. Let's not forget Joe Cole was our player of the season in 2008, for good reason too, his skills on the pitch, his attitude, team work and ability to score goals is the prime reason we want to keep hold of him.

I hope people aren't forgetting this is JUST a rumour for now, there's no back up to this claim by talkSport. Let's not forget there are continuous rumours where Joe Cole is going: Totteham, ManUtd, ManCity, West Ham & yes Arsenal. We shouldn't be so quick to rule out the possibility for him signing a new deal with Chelsea, he has xpressed a desire to stay before (right?). Carlo is still confident Joe Cole will pen a new deal, and I'll still believe him until someone from Chelsea or Cole himself tell us his decision.

Wh-What if it's not?

We should try and use that to get Pepé to come the other way lol!

Ivanovic is no stranger to the Left-back role remember! When we played Barcelona at home last season, Ashley Cole was suspended, Ivanovic (imo anyway) did a brilliant job vs Messi

I don't think either of them are going anywhere. Ashley Cole's worked hard to get the fans on his side, which we are, and he's even said he's at Chelsea to win things (which we are) Lampard's loyalty to Chelsea is unquestionable. He's not going anywhere.

I know the term "the next [enter already established star]" is very over-used these days but watching him play this season, he does have all the makings to be the next Lampard. Let's hope Chelsea keep it producing more players like him.. I'm liking the products we have in our academy right now, the improvements are showing good signs for the future

Agreed.. Perhaps we should go in the market for Milner as a replacement.. Not Yossi :|

I'd just like a home fixture to start and finish the season.. Also, Tottenham and Manchester United at home in the return match.. But all in all, not too bothered.. as long as we win our trophies

We all know what happens when a Barcelona product goes to another club.. Let's make sure, if we do sign him, there's no buy back clause!

I sincerely hope this isn't true!! He's had a brilliant season on loan with Twente.. £2.5million is nowhere near his worth right now, would be a huge mistake to sell

In all honesty, I'd rather have Aguero.. It's true Higuain had an amazing season in La Liga this year.. But players like Ronaldo, Kaka and Xabi Alonso came out and said he's selfish and obsessed with only himself scoring, Aguero (from what I've seen) is a much better footballer. He's got good pace, a decent finish and has a cool head. In any case, José won't be so quick to sell one of his future top scorers and Aguero's already xpressed his desire to play for Chelsea

I don't really see us selling him.. It's true we have the likes of Borini and Sturridge who are more likely to get appearances over him, but he's young and doing well on loan.. We won't be in a hurry to sell

Couldn't agree more.. He's got his place in South Africa, now he needs to make a decision and let everyone know
