Chelsea chiefs will use their time away in the USA to secure five senior players to new contracts.

The Daily Star Sunday says the Blues are “confident” Drogba, Joe Cole, Ashley Cole, Florent Malouda and John Obi Mikel will all sign new deals.

A club spokesman said: “Florent Malouda has already agreed terms and Mikel is also very close.

“Drogba has been offered a new contract and we hope he will sign before the start of the season. The same goes for Joe Cole and Ashley Cole.”

Drogba, who has appeared happy and relaxed under new manager Carlo Ancelotti, said: “I feel good.

“Fingers crossed I can avoid injury this season.”

I thought I must be going mad for a minute ??? I am sure they have just signed long term extensions.

I'm pretty confident we can sign all of them before season starts.

Would be nice to see Terry commit rather than the aforementioned.

joe cole constantly gets injured and once again he's out for a month, rather have jesus navas from sevilla at right midfield tbh.

We have a better chance of getting Cristiano Ronaldo than Jesus Navas!

Joe Cole should be played as a play maker rather than a winger; its his natural position. And he is far more involved in the middle whereas out wide he can go quiet for periods.

He's had a couple of serious injuries thats kept him out for a while thats all, i'd rather have an english joe cole

[BlueLion. 21,491]

An African Joe Cole would be just as great though.

But I know what you mean; Joe is a regular for England and a real fans' favourite. The club wouldn't hear the end of it if they sanctioned a move away from the Bridge for Coley.

[Kez 2,727]

Would just be as hard for me to see him leave as if Lampard of JT left.

You can fucking say that again lol

Navas is a Gitano^[4]. He suffers from chronic homesickness^[1][2], to the extent that he has walked out of training camps within Spain because they were too far away from Seville. He also suffers from anxiety attacks and seizures. Navas initially refused to travel with Sevilla during pre-season to the United States due to his acute homesickness, later deciding that he would travel in a bid to rid himself of this condition.
