We already have too many midfeilders, why add more?

From the official Chelsea website:

Carlo Ancelotti has confirmed he expects Andriy Shevchenko to be leaving the club before the end of the transfer window.

The Italian was speaking after discussions with the Ukraine international, from which it appears the 32-year-old will be departing Stamford Bridge.

'We don't have news of players that will come into Chelsea, only that Shevchenko will decide to return to go to play in another team,' the manager said.

'I spoke with Shevchenko, and he would like to play with continuity. Here for me it is difficult to give him this possibility to play a lot of matches and I think he will take the right decision for him.

'He will take his decision, it is not our problem, and he will choose the team that is right for him.'

The manager also confirmed it was nothing to do with speculation suggesting Shevchenko had been left out of the Champions League squad.

'I spoke with him and he takes this decision. I have time to choose the squad in the Champions League, the only thing is Shevchenko didn't have the possibility to play with continuity, he took the decision only for this,' Ancelotti said.

The manager has also discounted media stories that Chelsea have made a £57 million bid for Bayern Munich's Franck Ribery. 'It is not true,' he said.

1017: Big club alert, big club alert: these words have just been printed in French newspaper L'Equipe, emanating from the mouth of Bayern Munich flier Franck Ribery:"It's the first time that I haven't really felt close to a coach.There's not much feeling between us at all," he said about boss Louisvan Gaal. Anyone got a spare £57m?

[chrismada9 1,948]

Am I the first one to mention, that ..... maybe signing Franck Ribery wouldn't be a bad coup considering we've been strongly unlucky with everyone else??

Franck Ribery admits his relationship with Bayern Munich coach Louis van Gaal is not a good one.

The France midfielder was linked strongly with a move to this summer, but that switch never materialised and he looks likely to stay at the Allianz Arena until January at least.

Chelsea and champions Manchester United were all strongly linked with Ribery, and Real Madrid were reportedly considering making a late bid for the player.

Ribery has not started a club game this season as he bids to regain full fitness, and has reportedly not seen eye to eye with Van Gaal, who took over this summer.

'It is important that you have faith in the coach, but with him (Van Gaal) it is complicated,' he said in L'Equipe.

'This is the first time that my contact with a coach is not positive. There's not much feeling between us.'

Bayern have won just one of their opening four Bundesliga games and lie eighth in the table with five points.

<h3>ROMAN ABRAMOVICH is seething after Chelsea's transfer ban ruined his chances of bringing Franck Ribery to Stamford Bridge in January.

France star Ribery was poised to move to Stamford Bridge in January - but Russian billionaire Abramovich has been forced to scrap the £40million signing.

Chelsea's plans have been thrown into chaos by FIFA's ban, which prevents the Blues from doing any deals during the next two transfer windows.

And that means Ribery now seems certain to leave Bayern Munich for Real Madrid instead.

Blues boss Carlo Ancelotti believed a deal was as good as done for the French winger.

He was hoping to take him to Stamford Bridge in the next transfer window - but certainly in time for the start of next season.

Ribery was the Italian's first-choice target all summer and was understood to be ready to force through a move to Chelsea.

Bayern's late capture of Real Madrid's Arjen Robben paved the way for the 26- year-old to move to London.

But FIFA's block on deals into the Bridge has wreaked havoc with those intentions, and will open the door for Madrid to step in with a fresh move of their own.

Ribery will also be exploring alternative options - almost certainly Real Madrid - as he'll fear being left in limbo if Chelsea can't successfully challenge FIFA's ruling.

Well, if we can get the punishment postponed on the appeal, that means we can buy Ribery due to the fact that we will be allowed to buy players in the January window.

Although this seems unlikely.

ribery is too old.

and anyway all this money spent on youth we should be developing our own messi's.

100% mate. It's ridiculous to bring Ribery in January and let him watch CL matches from the bench what a waste.
