Dimitar Berbatov

[Lampard8 0]

Chelsea coach Avram Grant insists that he's happy with his first team squad and that no players will be allowed to leave in January. However, he didn't quite rule out any new arrivals, even if he insists that Chelsea haven't moved for Dimitar Berbatov...

Chelsea coach Avram Grant told Sky Sports of his annoyance over recent transfer rumours linking his players with moves away from Stamford Bridge.

He fumed, "Every week somebody is writing about players coming to us, or players leaving us and then I need to comment on it.

"There is no news. I am happy with the squad. All the players in the squad will stay until the end of the season. "

However, he would not rule out any new arrivals.

Instead, he focused once again on the press' attitude to Chelsea's transfer market dealings, most notably that pertaining to Spurs hotshot Dimitar Berbatov.

"There is a lot of speculation but the situation is the same as it was two weeks ago, one week ago, three weeks ago.

"I can tell you there's no news on any of this speculation about players coming to Chelsea.

"How can they [spurs] tell us to stay away from a player [berbatov] when we have not even discussed him? So it looks very strange."

He added, "For the moment there is a lot of speculation and I understand it because we have a lot of injuries and players going to African Cup.

"As I told you about a week ago, two weeks ago there is no news for the moment."

I doubt Berbatov would come to Chelsea, I can only seeing him go to Arsenal since ManUre won't go for him until the summer.

why do you envisage him going to the arse of all places? can you really see spuds selling their top assett to their hated enemy a la sol campell.

and why not coming to the blues?

Yes, Spurs will sell to whoever if they get the right price for it.

I can't see him coming because when Drogba is fit and if we sign Anelka, he has to fight with Drogba, Kalou, Shevchenko, Anelka and Pizarro. Six decent strikers?

[misschief 24]

Couldnt see Berbatov coming. Great player but I think Anelka would do better out of the two for us.

[Fulham Broadway 17,299]

Tottenham insist they do not expect to sell any of their strikers during the current transfer window but rumours persist Manchester United and Chelsea are lining up a £30million bids for Dimitar Berbatov.

The Bulgarian scored twice in the 2-2 FA Cup draw with Reading on Saturday but didn't look too happy about it and hardly seems overjoyed with his lot at White Hart Lane this season.

Daily Mail.

We know this can be meaningless though, every player has his price etc.

I guess it all depends if you feel the player is worth the money you are going to spend in the long run! Still not convinced Berbatov is the answer but the roumers are hotting up and it could still be a possibility.

Oh great, he scores another two goals against arguably the worst defence in the EPL yesterday and all of a sudden everyone is arse raping him.

I agree, overall he has had a poor season and in general has looked lazy and rubbish. But then again, Anelka is our other main target so standards are not that high.

[BlueLion. 21,491]

I hope if Anelka comes, that he scores a debut hattrick

You can only score what your playing against...

Anyway, after watching him EVERY game last season, I can honestly say hes a class act, on last seasons showing hes one of the best players ive ever had the joy to watch.

Papers as usual going way over the top, apparently going to Man City...

As ive said before.

Milan in the summer.

I think berbatov is a class act, people make comments that he looks lazy, well I have to say Drogba off the ball at most times looks lazy but can pull anything out of his bag just like that. Berbatov is a class player, I really hope we sign him more than anelka.

Absolute joy to watch.

I've never seen Drogba look lazy unless he's been running around for 90minutes.
