There really is bugger all going on today apart from a bizarre story in the Mirror which says that Ashley Cole will sign for Chelsea next Wednesday. The bizarre part comes with the news that they’re also going to sign Roberto Carlos because he’s Abramovich’s son’s favourite player.
I can’t imagine Mourinho putting up with that and the idea that Chelsea would sign a player like Roberto Carlos for that reason is ludicrous.
The Mirror says the Cole deal has been sorted down to the last detail which wouldn’t be a surprise at all. It will be interesting to see what the fee is. There’s a lot of talk about a £16m buy-out clause in Cole’s contract but I’m reliably informed that doesn’t exist.
Real Madrid president Jamón Calderon is still at it:
I promised before I was elected to bring Cesc Fabregas, Arjen Robben and Kaka to Real Madrid and I believe it is still possible to complete my promise.
Mongo. Milan are apparently steaming about Madrid’s approaches to Kaka, Arsenal simply won’t sell Cesc and I couldn’t give a fish’s tit what happens to Arjen Robben. With Barcelona now being told they must hold presidential elections we look likely to go through all the same shit with those cunts as well. With Laporta so successful you can only imagine the promises the other candidates will have to make to win the election.
I have been trying to find out any whispers about transfers but there is really nothing stirring. No gossip, no hints, no nothing, which leads me to believe the club are playing their cards very close to their chest this summer, perhaps mindful of the gazumping that went on last summer with Baptista, Shaun Wright Philips and Robinho.
I know some people are worried that there might not be any cards but I cannot see us going into the new season without at least two new players given the experience we’ve already lost and are about to lose when we sell Ashley Cole.
That money will certainly add to our already healthy transfer fee now we just need somebody to tell Arsene that it’s not who has the most money hidden under his matress that counts it’s who has the best players and the best team.
Ok, a busy day ahead. Till tomorrow. And hopefully some news.
