SIMAO SHOCKED BY Chelsea LINK

Atletico Madrid winger Simao Sabrosa has voiced his surprise after speculation suggested he could be joining Chelsea in a £20million deal. </H2>

There is already a strong Portuguese contingent at Stamford Bridge with Deco and Jose Bosingwa both arriving this summer to join Paulo Ferreira and Ricardo Carvalho.

Luiz Felipe Scolari has been linked with other Portugal players since stepping down as boss of the national team after Euro 2008.

According to reports in Spain, the new Chelsea manager has set his sights on Atletico Madrid winger Simao.

However, the 28-year-old insists he is not aware of any interest from the Premier League club.

"This is surprise to me," Simao told the Spanish press after learning of the transfer speculation.

"Scolari said nothing to me when I was with Portugal but this is significant as it means the work I have been doing at Atletico is positive."

Reports in Spain have claimed that Atletico have already rejected an offer from Chelsea this summer, with Simao valued at around 25million euros (£19.8million).

If we aint careful we'll bloody turn into Portugal, having said that its only a rumour so this could be untrue

More than likely just a roumer. Could even be put out there to try and encourage Robinho to push through a transfer.

No thank you, we don't need another winger

A lot of people would say we do. And as we are looking to sign Robinho i guess Scolari also believes we need a winger/second striker.

A bit more width would do no harm. I've no confidence in SWP at all.

I agree,, hasn't shown any improvement in pre season at all, whereas Malouda has.

they always forget Hilario, who is Portugiese too

if Simao comes, i also want Quaresma and Moutinho

Defo....I was a bit concerned that his form was a bit over hyped due to the calibre of teams we were up against before the Milan game. But he really looked good yesterday and set up Anelka with 2 inch perfect crosses to score. Hopefully we'll see him continue to blossom under Scolari.

Done it plenty of times this pre season, getting to the line and crossing for oncomming attackers. Hopefully he can keep that up in the prem.

Well I just want Robinho, and if we can't get him, then Quaresma. Simao is getting old, I prefer younger players. And I don't think we need 2 new wingers. I would like Sinclair as our 5th choice actually.
