Sergio Aguero to Chelsea

Tuesday, 08. 18. 2009  –  Category: Atletico Madrid, Chelsea, La Liga, Premier League

Even the Sun doesn’t think this is too likely to happen, stating that “…the Spanish club fear a backlash from their fans if they sell Aguero, 21, so close to the start of the season.”.
This is likely to join the increasingly long list of failed targets for the Blues this season; Franck Ribery, Kaka, Alexandre [...]

Jose Bosingwa to Bayern Munich

Wednesday, 08. 12. 2009  –  Category: Bayern Munich, Bundesliga, Chelsea, Premier League

Chelsea’s revolving door policy for right backs looks set to continue with the rumoured sale of Jose Bosingwa to Bayern Munich.
Uli Hoeness said:
“We are still interested in Jose. We need a strong, experienced defender on the right side, especially if we use Ribery in a more offensive role, as is being considered.
“We want only Bosingwa [...]

Ashley Young to Chelsea : Update 1

Friday, 07. 17. 2009  –  Category: Aston Villa, Chelsea, Premier League

We’ve covered this before, but there seems to be some new action, now Villa are willing to come to the party, but they’re demanding a £25 million appearance fee.  The fee seems about right, factoring in Young’s inconsistency as a cost reduction and his English heritage as a massive cost increase.  Chelsea also have the [...]

John Terry to Manchester City

Wednesday, 07. 15. 2009  –  Category: Chelsea, Manchester City, Premier League

Well, this would certainly be a result for City.  But it’s hard to imagine how the following doesn’t constitute illegal tapping up:
We would like to think we could offer (Terry) a different challenge. From my own experience, when you have been with a club a long time, you maybe get to a point when you [...]

Chelsea Summer 2009 Transfer Window Preview

Saturday, 07. 4. 2009  –  Category: Chelsea, Premier League

Who they need
Chelsea have a strong squad but they’re not getting any younger. They’ll need some youth to add depth to their squad, as well as some creativity between midfield and attack. Their ongoing interest in Aguero, Ribery and their previous interests in Kaka show this.

Carlo’s Shopping Spree Part 1

Thursday, 05. 28. 2009  –  Category: Bayern Munich, Bundesliga, Chelsea, Liverpool, Premier League

In a truly bizarre sequence of events, Carlo Ancelotti has released his autobiography that contains chapters about how he’s going to be the new manager of Chelsea.  Indeed the first chapter is called “Called up by Abramovich – the beginnings”.  A ballsy move by any standards, but then he goes on to detail a conversation [...]

Edin Dzeko to Chelsea

Thursday, 05. 21. 2009  –  Category: Bundesliga, Chelsea, Premier League, Wolfsburg

The 23 year old Bosnian has been one of the stars of this years Bundesliga, scoring up an amazing 25 goals in 28 appearances, and combining with his strike partner Grafite to knock in a total of 51 goals this season, catapaulting unfancied, unfashionable Wolfsburg to what looks very likely to be winner of the [...]

Emmanuel Adebayor to Chelsea

Saturday, 04. 18. 2009  –  Category: Arsenal, Chelsea, Premier League

The Torygraph has been digging around Italy and has come up with a decent rumour:
As part of the negotiations the Italian has been promised the funds to land four high-profile players. The significant spending spree will, also, reaffirm owner Roman Abramovich’s commitment after another season of upheaval.
Ancelotti is a long-term admirer of Adebayor, valued at [...]

Ashley Young to Chelsea

Thursday, 04. 2. 2009  –  Category: Aston Villa, Chelsea, Liverpool, Premier League, Serie A

Young would present another exciting option for Chelsea on the left, although it would be a really tough deal to bring through. There’s no way Villa will let him go for anything less than very large fee; the player recently signed a new deal, which means he has another 4 years left on his [...]

Sunday’s Transfer Rumour – Franck Ribery to Manchester City, Or Barcelona, Or Real Madrid Or Even Chelsea

Sunday, 03. 29. 2009  –  Category: Barcelona, Bayern Munich, Bundesliga, Chelsea, La Liga, Manchester City, Premier League, Valencia

It’s no surprise that the European Giants are training their sites on Ribery, what is slightly surprising is that he’s only made it as far as the bundesliga.
Uli Hoeness says
…it’s going to be a brutal fight, there are some clubs who are going to table offers.
The most important thing is … that we indicate that [...]
