Chelsea made an offer for Rooney last summer. It's not a rumour or anything. It's a fact. The official Chelsea website confirmed. Jose words -"Chelsea is interested in this player, made a bid and what we did we did officially, Now we have nothing more to say, we want the player, we made the bid and now it is up to Man United" "We don't want to make public the bid but it is just a certain amount of money and it doesn't involve players or players in the possibility of negotiation. No Juan Mata, no David Luiz." http://www.chelseafc.com/chelsea-article/article/3242149
definitely overhyped but they are currently the best team in England. They are scoring at the rate the 2009-10 Chelsea team did. and even though chelsea beat them twice, they do have better players going forward. Silva, Nasri, Yaya, Aguero, Negredo and all of them more or less in their prime.
