Inter Milan star Fredy Guarin looks set to join Chelsea

CHELSEA are closing in on a £14 million deal for Inter Milan midfielder Fredy Guarin as manager Jose Mourinho beefs up his squad for a title push.



Mourinho has been tracking Guarin for several weeks and Chelsea are ready to table a bid for the 27-year-old Colombian midfielder.

With a heavy schedule ahead, Mourinho wants reinforcements in his midfield positions and has lost the services of Frank Lampard, 35, for at least a fortnight after he suffered a thigh injury in Sunday’s 2-1 victory over Liverpool.

Defender Branislav Ivanovic has also been ruled out of tomorrow’s trip to Southampton with a knee injury.

Guarin, a strong-running player who can operate centrally or on either flank, has featured regularly for Inter this season but Chelsea have already begun negotiations with the club and the player’s agents.



Blues striker Demba Ba, out of favour under Mourinho, may move the other way to facilitate the deal – but Chelsea would be reluctant to let the Senegalese go without another forward coming in. Juan Mata, another out-of-favour Chelsea star, is also interesting Inter but Chelsea do not want to sell the skilful Spaniard at the moment unless he forces a move.

And Michael Essien could leave in January, just six months after returning to the club.

The midfield veteran has struggled to break into Mourinho’s team after he was recalled from a year-long loan spell at Real Madridand has not been named in Chelsea' s latest squad for the Champions League.

Should Guarin arrive at Stamford Bridge, Essien, 31, would be pushed even further down the pecking order and his agent, Fabien Piveteau, admitted last night: “It’s true that he could leave Chelsea this winter.

“Several big European clubs playing in the Champions League have made inquiries and it should play out in the next 10 days or so.”

well that guarin just a rumors for now..but one of the famous one.

benfica desperate to sell to cover debt..so the rumors still on..plus we might go for matic + lazar markovic.

Happy New Year ! and Happy Winter Transfer !!

It is £49.4m. minus..£15 mil spent on things that are not under FFP..so it down to £34.4 mil

every club loss cant be more than FFP £37.5 mark..so we already below that.. despite crashing early in the UCL group stage..we can do better with the figure if we progressed into the last 16.

but overall. revenue increase by 19%. and this figure not yet involve the money from adidas 10 years deal worth £300 mil.

we do better every year..so on the right track to financial stability, and we dont have any problem with FFP.

nothing new..all rumors..maybe after tonight game we will hear more on this..

yap..somehow 4-2-3-1 limit the striker chances..

and fellas.

1st Winter Transfer for Chelsea...kindda..

TRAORE MOVE COMPLETED



Posted on: Tue 31 Dec 2013
Bertrand Traore completed his move to Chelsea today (Wednesday) and immediately sat down with the official website to discuss the transfer.

The 18-year-old agreed to sign a four-and-a-half year contract with the club back in October, and with the opening of the January transfer window, he makes the switch from Association Jeunes Espoirs De Bobo-Dioulasso in his native Burkina Faso.

Traore is a full international having made his debut in September 2011 a few days before his 16th birthday, and he made one substitute appearance at the 2012 Africa Cup of Nations.

An attacking midfielder, Traore was taken as a trialist on Chelsea's tour of Asia in the summer and played a part in all three games, scoring in Malaysia and in Indonesia.


Bertrand, welcome to Chelsea. How happy were you with our trial period during the summer?
'I was very happy. It was a good experience with all the senior players and I learned a lot from them. I was very proud, so it was a dream for me to be there every day and playing games. Of course I was a little bit nervous but after two or three days I was okay.'

Did you feel at home in training?
'On the pitch I was comfortable, I wasn't nervous once I was on the pitch. Jose Mourinho spoke a lot during training and he is one of the best managers, maybe the best in the world. He is a very good person and it is a dream for me to work with him. I can now say I am living a dream.'

Did the squad make you sing an initiation song?
'Yes, I sang a French song, in French!'

How would you describe your style of play?
'I'm an attacking midfielder. I can play in the number 10 position, I can play on the wings and I'm good on the ball. I can shoot well and am strong in a one v one situation, so I can score goals.'

Who are your influences as a player?
'My favourite players are Juan Mata, Mesut Ozil and Eden Hazard. They're very good players and I am trying to be like them. At Chelsea I look to follow the way of some African legends like Didier Drogba, Michael Essien and now Samuel Eto'o.'

You're still young but you're a full international…
'Yes, I played for my country, with my brother, Alain, who plays in the same position. He is the person I followed to be a footballer. I played in the African Cup of Nations which was a good experience, and now I'm not scared of big games. I feel very comfortable.'

Torres Scored !! ~ testing..testing..hahaha
