Ricardo Carvalho

Get as much for him as possible if they want him!

[chrismada9 1,948]

Chelsea's deal to sell Ricardo Carvalho and Deco to Inter Milan is close to collapse after the Italian club demanded that they are allowed to sign both players for free.

Inter had hoped to tempt Chelsea into a player-swap deal or a bid for either Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Maicon but the Premier League club has insisted that it wants £12 million cash for the Portuguese internationals.

Both Deco and Carvalho have made clear that they want to leave Stamford Bridge and are furious that the moves have stalled. Inter are now turning their attentions to signing William Gallas from Arsenal, who may be sold for around £4 million, having indicated that with just one year left on his contract he is reluctant to discuss a new deal. However on Wednesday Gallas insisted he was happy to stay at the Emirates.

Chelsea have been surprised at Inter's tactics, prolonging negotiations which had appeared close to being settled two weeks ago. The club are continuing their own rebuilding plans and are close on three deals.

They may announce the first of those, the free signing of Ross Turnbull from Middlesbrough, by the end of this week. The goalkeeper will compete with Henrique Hilario, who has not been released by Chelsea, to be Petr Cech's understudy.

Chelsea are also close to announcing the arrival of Yuri Zhirkov from CSKA Moscow for £18 million and Daniel Sturridge from Manchester City for a fee to be settled by a tribunal. Chelsea are continuing to track both Franck Ribery and Andrea Pirlo.

i wanted them 2 trade for maicon

[Elliott 7]

How dare they demand the players for free?

Carvalho is worth £12million alone, Deco £5m. We offer them both at a cut price of £12m in total and they should be happy as a pig in muck.

I don't see why we should be desperate to sell either player however. Another club will come in for them.

They wanted them for free? Inter can collectively suck my bollocks, then maybe rub some cream into them, before sucking them so more.

[Badboy 1,526]

WHAT ??? Inter want them for free lol this ain oxfam !

[5354 204]

12m is so little for a worldclass defender.

oh maybe deco is kinda trash.

[Kez 2,727]

Yeah sure lets just give our players away

[chrismada9 1,948]

Inter are fucking cheap bastards

[Tomlewis7 0]

Inter Milan are the cheap persons Ac Milan lol!

[chrismada9 1,948]

1032: Inter Milan president Massimo Moratti has said they are no longer interested in signing Chelsea duo Deco and Ricardo Carvalho.

"There is no doubt that they are great players, but for the moment on that front we have stopped, because looking at the squad I don't think there is any necessity to buy."

Guess that means they're staying for the time being then....

I reckon Deco would be very pissed off!

[Ollie 4,400]

Think both would be, even riccy because atm Alex is the best defender at the club and MUST play

[Kez 2,727]

Haha poor Deco

[chrismada9 1,948]

He deserves to rot in our reserves now! After his striking words at Abramovich. It'll teach him for being such a hot head.

Although there is a rumor somewhere that Panathinaikos want to sign Deco.

[EskWeston 696]

It would seem (and rightly so you would have to say) that Ancelotti is going to look at everyone in pre season training before deciding on letting anyone go.

[RX8 40]

Why don´t we but Deco and Sheva in a box and throw them in the London River or something... or but them cutting the grass... so they can do something.

[Wxgba 306]

I think that is Ancelotti's intention, or so I've heard.

:unsure:
