Interesting news, but....it's the SUN reporting it. Not exactly the most reliable of sources.

In a new interview for the Official Chelsea Magazine, when talking about the pre-season Jose says the following :

"Also maybe we will have a couple of South American players and becuase the South American Cup is played in June and we have a Brazilian like we will probably have in Alex, he cannot start pre-season".


if thats true they have got one hell of a back four...

As for Henry, I'm starting to get nervous about him.
He seems unable to decide, but if he wants to leave, then I just have to thank him for all his goals and wish him good luck.
When it comes to Wenger I KNOW that hel'l finish his contract, but after that, it will depend on next seasons results.
If Wenger leaves, we need someone like...Hiddink. Or Scolari.

As for the coincidence that said Spurs would finish above Arsenal...

Not saying it's reliable, but when Arsene finally leaves Arsenal ... I doubt they will be a top 4 team in England (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) - He, above all, is the main reason in keeping them in contention.

He needs to bring in some experienced players with leadership if he is to win anything next season. Players like Campbell, Viera, Bergkamp and Pires provided that before and now all of the are gone in a very short span of time. Of course the team will stumble. They need to start looking for holes and fill them now! But Wenger loves his young players, doesn't he...

Chelsea Win Malouda Race - Report 

Chelsea have reportedly won the race to sign Florent Malouda from French champions Lyon.


The French winger has seemed destined to be leaving Lyon this summer with the Premiership his most likely destination, but it had been felt that Liverpool were the frontrunners for his signature.

However, it has now emerged that FA Cup winners Chelsea have beaten Rafael Benitez's side to sign the 28-year-old, according to French radio station RMC.

As part of the deal Lassana Diarra will move in the oppostie direction on loan.

Malouda had said earlier this summer: "Liverpool and Chelsea have shown their interest. I don't know how it's going to end but in my head I'm going to leave (Lyon)."

He added: "At Chelsea there is Didier Drogba, as well as everybody else, but then at Liverpool, they have such a good coach and the team has played in two Champions League finals in three years.

"The most important thing for me will be the desire shown by the club. To go and play abroad, you really need to be wanted."

Jose Mourinho has been busy this summer having already signed Steve Sidwell, Claudio Pizarro and Tal Ben Haim - all of which have arrived on a free transfer, whereas Malouda will cost roughly £17m.


Am I the only one who thinks Robben is on his way out of Chelsea if this is confirmed? (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

Yes. Robben is one of Calderon dreams. One week ago he said he was in talks with Robben-agent for his transfer.
1 day after Robben-agent denied any talks with Madrid and said Chelsea wanted to renew with him.

With Malouda and Joe Cole that can play in the center-left... in Mourinho's favourite tactic: 4-4-2 diamond... Robben only plays in the LW... a pure LW. (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

And without Kaka' and Cristiano this Summer, Robben could be their main-target as the best LW in the world and still young (23). Makes people think.

^^That might happen. Robben don't accept bench quietly and he's injury prone. With Malouda and Joe Cole on their team Chelsea can squeeze excessive sum from Madrid.

And he will go to Madrid, as he is one of the players Calderon promised (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

EDIT: just read ur above post (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

But yeah .. I believe Robben will move to Madrid, no questions asked (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

I think the Premiership is "too agressive" for a guy like Robben and all his problems. TBH I think he would fit better in La Liga with his speed and tecnique.

Just like Ronaldinho... if he signed for a Premiership club... he'd get "killed" in 2 matches... 3 months out. (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

Yeah, I agree. In La Liga he could express himself much better.

Remember R99 at Inter. The defenders were killing him. He had one long term injury after another (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

EXCLUSIVE: Liverpool Officials In Madrid For Torres 

Goal.com can reveal that Liverpool officials are in Madrid to complete the transfer of Fernando Torres.

The big money signings that the new Liverpool owners have been promising might finally become a reality.

George Gillett had insisted on Monday evening that he was ready for Liverpool's "phase two": the signing of new players after securing key ones to improved contracts, and there have been definite movements.

They have been tracking Fernando Torres for a while, and have now stepped up their efforts.

The Reds are looking to make their mark this summer, and a team has travelled to Madrid, we can confirm.

The objective is to finalise the transfer of the Atleti skipper, and today itself if possible.

Torres, 23, has scored 14 goals in what has been a very moderate season, one in which the club have collectively struggled.

After having his buy-out clause reduced to 40 million euros last summer, he is now ready to make the jump to a bigger club.

An earlier bid (from another club) in the region of 30 million euros fell just short of expectations, and we believe that Liverpool will offer players as a part of the deal, in order to bring down the price. Luis Garcia - who played at Atletico Madrid before Barcelona - is supposedly the player who has been offered.

The midfielder had an absolutely stunning season at the Vicente Calderon in 2002-03, when he scored 9 goals in 30 games in addition to setting up many, and still has admirers at the club.

It is being seen by many as a trip similar to Carlos Quieroz's to Portugal, when Manchester United set the transfer marked on fire. At the very least, the objective is similar, to tell other clubs, and as much their own fans, that they mean business!

http://www.goal.com/en/articolo.aspx?contenutoid=332509


I heard some rumours yesterday but now... it gets more and more over the web.

Time for Liverpool, FINALLY, get a world-class #9? (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

Aston Villa are reportedly planning a £15million swoop for Villarreal striker Diego Forlan.

According to Birmingham Mail, Villa boss Martin O'Neill is set make the 28-year-old Uruguay international the club record transfer offer.

Former Manchester United forward Forlan had recently revealed that he has an exit clause in his new deal at the La Liga side of around £15million. He also claimed that there was a third English side, apart from Sunderland and Liverpool, which was interested in him.

It seems that the side Forlan was referring to is Villa, who have funds at disposal with American owner Randy Lerner backing O’Neill in summer transfer market.

Forlan recently said: "It's not only Liverpool who've asked about signing me. In January I rejected a loan move to Sunderland. I also know another Premier League club is asking about my availability."



On Villa's website (In the media watch section) there's news circulating in Holland that we've contacted Ajax about Babel & Sneijder and are ready to make a £15m bid, though they want £18m for the pair, which shows they're willing to sell for the right price I suppose?

These three signings would be huge. I'm pretty sure we could get Forlan, Sneijder would be huge. Babel is okay I suppose, I wouldn't be excited by him signing.
