The papers this morning reporting it that there is a view to a move for him. Which is rubbish unless he seriously impresses, which i doubt he would impress enough for our squad.

This is all about Kenyon, selling brand Chelsea and marketing in Asia.

Absolutely, and as far as we are concerned it is pointless. But from there perspective it is a big deal, not bothered by it, and if through this we manage to snap up a star out of nowhere then it will be good too.

Etihad being lined up to be the main sponsor, as Samsung don't want to renew or something. They think Grants a cunt. Allegedly.
