BBC have reported Rhys Taylor will be training with Crewe during the pre-season. He has signed a new contract for Chelsea, so a transfer is not in question. He had a loan spell previously with QPR, and with him at the bottom of the pecking order, could he be off on loan again?

CaughtOffside reporting a bid of £28million from Chelsea.

The most STUPIDEST story is being reported by Goal.com!! It's actually infuriating how stupid it is.. Read it here, I can't bare myself to even summarise it.

Why on earth would you miss rumours? They create false hope. Transfer stories will obviously be on hold during the World Cup as players will be 100% focused on the World Cup itself. The media therefore, will forget about club and focus on international. After the tournament is over they'll come flooding in, however ridiculous they are.

Agreed.. Please take your little racist self and troll one some other forum.. On this post: Seems Yossi will be at Cobham this week to undergo a medical. The rumour is a £6million deal..

I like it!

More links on this rumour, Daily Mail reports the bid to be £6.5 (a bit of a bargin?), The Guardian, Goal, ESPN & Vital Footballback up previous reports of a verbal agreement done.

Sigh, what could've been huh? Oh well, seems a nice profit Chelsea are making this month

The infamous CaughtOffside is reporting the 25 year-old Villareal striker, Nilmar, is on Ancelotti's wishlist. Rumours of a £16million bid? read it here

Rumours are heating up over a possible 4-year deal agreed in principle, and now Benayoun is awaiting a medical.. Read the story here

Yep, completely agree. It's a shame about Stoch but rumours have it we got £7million out of it. All these out-going transfer should, hopefully, we'd get to bring in 1 marquee signing. (i.e. Augero)

Yeah, totally agree with you. There's not a whole load of communication going between club and fans, something you've pretty much gotta get used to I guess.

Defiantly going to try and get tickets! We do love Wembley

Let's hopelessly hope we added a buy-back clause on that contract..

Chelsea make it official

....No words can express how much of a bad decision I think this is.

Our last #7 shirt was given to Quaresma, our #9 is Di Santo who received it in his first season. No offence to the guy, but how can we give the number of JFH and Crespo to someone who wouldn't feature heavily? The #9 and #7 and now #10 should be reserved for people who are most likely to start, so that being said, I don't think the youngsters are ready for these numbers yet. I've always felt the #7 is for a winger, but that's just my opinion. I see Kakuta as a future #10

I was, but then I realised look at what we've done this season without him being featured much. Not trying to say he's been useless, he proves how useful he is vs United but we've got a lot of talent still. Essien, Lampard, Mikel, Malouda (he counts 8-)) and then comes our youth: Sotch, Kakuta, Matic

The day I see shirt number #69 will be a great day for humour

Not a bad birthday present.. First season = Domestic double, there's a nice few £Million bonus Happy Birthday Carlo!

^ AHAHA

Just a brief note on that (don't want to dig this up again).. Bridge did nothing to get booed, I found it disgraceful that people did that to him. As long as Joe doesn't talk out against the club, it'll be alright.. (hopefully)

True.. But he has made 38 appearances for Chelsea this season! Considering the seriousness of the Injury he's come back from, it's a good amount for a comeback season. But, I think it's the best decision for him and Chelsea. I'm seriously hoping he'll address the fans after the World Cup, we deserve that much.

It seems quite obvious now that Joe Cole won't be going abroad to play his future football. So that means he'll be signing with rivals, Arsenal, Tottenham, Manchester United or Manchester City. And that, my friends, means eventually Joe Cole will play his football at the Bridge again. Against Chelsea! My question to all of you, who go to the Bridge is, will you boo him? In his own right, Joe Cole is ChelseaFC legend. But we've seen such players before, i.e. Wayne Bridge, been booed at Stamford. I ask this question, because there is some obvious discontent at Joe Cole. The whole reason his gone is because he hasn't been given the wages he's demanded, thus he's left for money. I personally won't boo him, but will any of you?
