Chelsea have started making transfer plans for the summer with a back-up goalkeeper, right-back, left-winger and centre-forward heading the shopping list. Lionel Messi is not on the list as Chelsea do not believe he would leave Barcelona, but they are interested in Bayern Munich's Franck Ribery.

Ribery! My god, if we clinched his signature it would be the best signing of the decade. Absolutely world-class player, imagine Ribery and Coley on the wings, with Kalou and Malouda as well...

I dont rate ribery at all i would rather have joaquin.

Barcelona star Lionel Messi admits he's proud of interest arriving from Chelsea. The Argie whiz is a big money target for Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich and said: "I'm very happy in Barcelona and if it is true what they're saying, the truth is that the only thing I can say is thank-you to Chelsea. When such an important club is interested in me, it gives me great pride."

yeah why did no one ever mention joaquin?

he's a great player but no one ever show interest

[nikno 1]

Joaquin is not that good at all, he had promise at Betis, but when he joined Valencia it all went down.

joaquin had a brilliant season last year but this was more of a formality but that was the case with the whole of valencia squad, besides he's more of a right sided player and i don't really like playing joey on the left week in week out..

what about vincente? jesus navas from sevilla? are they good enough for us???perhaps silva??

would be awesome if we can sign the top form ronaldinho and messi....

what a dream come true would that be!!!

Yeap, Silva is a nice call. Not sure about the others. Silva is young and a prospect. Wouldn't mind him

vicente has had worse luck with injuries than robben and has now almost completely faded off..

navas is young, joeyesque and a seville product but operates on the right side which i dont think needs strenthenging with joey around and besides would cost a bomb..

silva has had a great season last year but this was worth forgetting but that was the case for the whole of valencia so you never know..

well a top form zidane would be great too

messi as much as i like, barca wouldnt sell, would they?
