LEADER, CAPTAIN, LEGEND

The 21-year-old has been one of the star performers at the World Cup so far as Germany have progressed to the quarter-finals and it comes as no surprise to see him being linked with a move away from Werder Bremen.
Chelsea are thought to be in the hunt and the midfielder admits he would be tempted at a move to Stamford Bridge once Germany's participation in the tournament is over.
"The World Cup is all that matters at the moment," he revealed. "When I get back we can think about my future, but for now it's not something I want to give a lot of thought to. To the top players the Premier League is attractive.
"You look at what Manchester United and Chelsea have achieved over the last five years and you see it would be easy to be successful at two clubs like that.
"I see what Michael Ballack achieved at Chelsea and the quality of players he played with and the temptation becomes obvious. Trophies are what matters to me. There are two teams in England always at the top and of course that's attractive. But the same is true for La Liga.
"They're the strongest leagues in the world."

SIGNED : Aziz Deen-Conteh and Billy Clifford, centre-back/midfielders Rohan Ince and George Saville, midfielder James Ashton, Slovakian attacker Milan Lalkovic, Austrian striker Philipp Prosenik and new European Under 17 champion with England, Josh McEachran.

RELEASED :  Niclas Heimann and Aldi Haxhia and outfield players Nana Ofori-Twumasi, Nikki Ahamed, Liam Bridcutt and Kenny Strickland.

SEVEN UP FOR RAMIRES
Posted on: Mon 16 Aug 2010

Ramires will wear the number 7 jersey for Chelsea.

The Brazilian midfielder, 23, arrived at the club on Friday, and will occupy the shirt left vacant since Andriy Shevchenko's departure for Dynamo Kiev a year ago.

Ramires wore the number 18 shirt for Brazil in the World Cup this summer, and the 8 for Benfica before signing for Chelsea, but Frank Lampard has sported that number since his arrival in 2001, so it will be the number 7 for our new signing.

Chelsea - Special Agent Joe Cole!
Comrade Cole, you have done well in you first two missions.

The red card you got was so clever and I really liked the timing, just at the stroke of half-time. Genius!

Your penalty miss against Trabzonspor last night was so impressive. I love how you managed to look sad despite all the joy you had in passing the penalty to the keeper.

I have also noticed you have been taking massive strides off the pitch as well.

You were found guilty on Wednesday of speeding at 105mph and face a ban obviously trying to fit in with the locals.

You have also managed to convince the captain to compare you to Messi or preferably, Joe 'Messi' Cole. What a tremendous way to start your secret mission over there!

Agent Joe, I am not trying to remind you how to go about your job but you must remember that the real skill is in seamless integration; become your role, know your enemy - they won't suspect a thing (Just look at the job Special Agent Gallas did at Arsenal.)

Put their trophy winning years well and truly in the past and keep calling them the greatest club in England while you secretly make further progress with your mission.

I'm sure you still have some secret weapons in your arsenal (own goals, long term injuries, etc) so I will write you another mission statement when you pull off another spectacular move.

Just remember, if you ever feel your mission is being compromised at any point - GET OUT OF THERE!

Carefree!
