Chelsea are said to be interested in further improving their forward line, with the arrival of Nicolas Anelka by no means the end of their transfer window exploits. Now, Palermo star Amauri could be their next target, with the Correire dello Sport claiming that the Blues have made an initial bid of £15m (20 million euros) for the Brazilian. However, such a move is unlikely to come to fruition just yet. The player's agent has declared that a number of clubs are watching his client, but with a view to a summer move instead of a winter one. That's been confirmed by the Sicilian club's sporting director, who has said that Amauri is going nowhere until June. Furthermore, outspoken Palermo president Mauricio 'Zampa' Zamparini is holding out for at least 25 million euros (£18.6m), with Juventus said to be tentatively willing to meet that valuation. Chelsea expect to make some big money from Didier Drogba's sale, which they believe should be enough to sign two top players if not one. Even otherwise, when they want someone, Chelsea have shown that money has never stopped them. Goal.com

Liverpool are said to be keen on Chelsea's Shaun Wright-Phillips and could include Xabi Alonso as part of the deal. Wright-Phillips has finally settled into life at Chelsea following a troubled start at Stamford Bridge and has become more of a first-team regular this season. The winger's form has caught the attention of Liverpool, who are reported to be lining up a swap deal involving Spanish star Alonso, but a deal looks unlikely for one of several reasons. The Blues will want to keep hold of the winger for starters, while Liverpool are set to lose Momo Sissoko to Italian giants Juventus and will not want to lose Alonso as well. Alonso himself may not fancy the move either after Liverpool accused Chelsea players of deliberately trying to get him booked in the Champions League semi-final first leg in 2005. http://www.eatsleepsport.com/articles/683554.html

Chelsea boss Roman Abramovich has been told to forget about hosting a Russian league match in London. Marketing company IMG and FC Moscow had reportedly suggested playing their first 'home' match of the 2008 campaign against defending champions Zenit St Petersburg at Stamford Bridge in March. But the proposal angered the Russian FA, who refused permission for the match to be played outside the country. "The Russian Football Union (RFU) had the last word and they said no," FK Moscow president Yuri Belous told reporters after a meeting with RFU chief Vitaly Mutko. Mutko said: "I'm totally against this idea. It goes against all the principles of conducting our national championship. The Russian championship must be held in Russia, not England." http://www.dailymail.co.uk/pages/live/arti...amp;ito=newsnow

the F.A. are fucking assholes

New Chelsea recruit Franco Di Santo has described the thought of playing alongside Didier Drogba as "something out of another world" as he gets set to leave for London at the end of the week. Chelsea paid £3.4 million to the Chilean club Audax Italiano to secure the services of Di Santo and he is all set to leave his homeland of Argentina to join up with his new team-mates over the weekend. In a good early sign for Chelsea fans, Di Santo laughed off suggestions that the weather would be an issue for him once he makes the move to London. "For me I like the cold and rain, so in that aspect there is no problem. If I want to prevail I must adapt to how it is," he told Olé. He was then asked whether he can believe the speed of his rise of fame, to which he stated that it has come as a major surprise to him to reach so many milestones early in his career. "No, for not all. In the year and a bit I have been playing so much has happened. I played in the Copa Libertadores and I played for the Under-20 national team in the South American tournament in Paraguay. "In just a very short time, I have achieved things that few have. This makes me very happy... It seems like it was just yesterday when, at 14 years old, I went by myself to the other side of the Mountain range (Chile) with this dream." Di Santo was obviously excited about the prospect of moving to Chelsea and linking up with the world-renowned players who are already at the club, whom he hopes to learn from and improve his game. "I have the idea to go to learn. It is going to be a dream for me to be next to Drogba, Kalou, Lampard, Wright-Phillips, Shevchenko and Anelka, that they bought recently. "I am going to watch how they play and if I am called on to be part of the team, I will be prepared to give my maximum and do what I do best. I will fulfil whatever the manager Avram Grant requests of me; that is if I understand it (laughs)." Finally, Di Santo suggested that he will just be privileged to play alongside the likes of Drogba at Chelsea and hopes one day to achieve the same success and be able to give something back to his home town. "I always speak with my father, Jorge. To be in clothes, changing next to Drogba will be something out of another world. I am going to help him tie his laces (laughs). I must become used to being around these players since now they will be my teammates. "I hope to reach those heights, although I have a way to go... I do not wish to disappoint those who have trusted in me, especially the people of Mendoza. I want to help the unemployed where I was born and football in my province," he concluded.

Modric was shit against england diego is a good playmaker or Xavi or Iniesta van vaart is good player too

Chelsea are looking to bring in more players this month and chief executive Peter Kenyon said an announcement will hopefully be made next week. The Blues, who miss key players – Didier Drogba, Salomon Kalou, Michael Essien and Mikel due to their national commitment for African Nations Cup, are looking to compensate and keep their title hopes alive. “I think we're still looking as always, not for many but for the right ones and there will hopefully be another announcement next week,” Kenyon told Chelsea TV. As such, Avram Grant has got in prolific striker Nicolas Anelka in a £15m deal from Bolton last week to offset the absence of Drogba, and Kenyon disclosed that the negotiations were quite complicated. “Negotiations are always difficult and this has proven no different. But I think he was Bolton's major player and clearly that's always difficult to prise away,” Kenyon commented. “Those discussions have been going on for a couple of months but we got there very late on Thursday night, Friday morning, and we were lucky enough to get him registered and conclude everything on Friday night. “But they handled the negotiations extremely well and we are delighted to have him.”

zola was 29 when we bought him and zola was fucking brilliant
