Robinho

[Milan 17,955]

From the official website:

'We are ever confident that it [the deal for Robinho] will get done but we have always said it will go to the wire. 'We will keep moving it on and we hope that he will be joining us here at Chelsea.'

'There were two players Luiz Felipe Scolari identified,' he said today, 'one was Deco and one as Robinho and we have already seen the impact Deco has already made on the Premier league.

'I think the squad is strong and capable of competing in all competitions without Robinho but with him, it is an added dimension.'

Erm, Carlo?

Can't have a squad number thats been registered to another player for the season, so Carlo or anyone else can't give it up for him.

Yea my bad, forgot that squad numbers can't be changed anymore.

Most likely it will be #23 then.

Most likely it will be #23 then.

You mean most likely it wont be #23?

Kenyon gave a similar interview to Chelsea TV tonight, but was a little more optimistic. He also said that Robinho is committed to joining Chelsea.

Excellent signing if it doesn't fall in the next 24 hours. He could be the replacement for Malouda or SWP.
