I know this is about third hand info cause he got it from his mate but in the past this lads been spot on

It sound like a he says she says rumour but im worried here cause i believe him


If this turns out to be true these yanks can just right off

Mods if you wanna move this as bein rubbish go ahead

Moved over to the Rumour Mill now, Nan.  Personally, it sounds like creative speculation to me but time will tell.  Should it come true, however, we can at least take comfort in the fact that we still have Alonso. 

I suggest yous all leave Xabi out of this otherwise this NAN will give yers all a smack . I love  our Alonso end of

Tell you what though on a serious note this is gettin bad if it turns out to be true what more shocks await from the yanks

Exclusive: £10m Nicolas Anelka to Chelsea

Oliver Kay and Matt Hughes
Chelsea are close to making their first significant acquisition of the new transfer window, having entered formal negotiations with Bolton Wanderers over a £10 million deal to take Nicolas Anelka to Stamford Bridge. The approach was made before the new buying season opened at midnight last night, with Peter Kenyon, the Chelsea chief executive, beginning talks with Phil Gartside, the Bolton chairman, over the weekend.

Discussions continued yesterday, with all parties confident that a deal will be finalised by the end of next week. Anelka has been kept informed of developments and is understood to be in little doubt that his appearance against Derby County tomorrow will be his last for Bolton.

Manchester United had also shown interest in the 28-year-old France forward, having made an informal inquiry to Bolton in May, but Sir Alex Ferguson is more eager to pursue Dimitar Berbatov, who is unsettled at Tottenham Hotspur. Emil Dantchev, Berbatov’s agent, is understood to have been referring to United and Chelsea when he stated yesterday that the Bulgaria forward plans to join “a club that corresponds to Dimitar’s class and ambition”.

United’s hopes of signing him this month are unclear, with a summer deal preferable from a financial view-point, but The Times has learnt that contact was made with Tottenham at boardroom level four weeks ago.

Doesn't that just p!ss you off tho you can tell who the big boys are when the quality players come available, and where are we with our financial muscle in the American owners?....

Nowhere thats right.

Not when we have so many other assets we could sell if they are so short of money that they can't afford to put their hands in their pocket. Kuyt,Crouch, Sissoko, Riise, Carson, Voronin, they could sell a couple of these and sign Mascherano.

I think we should have a whip round and buy him ourselves

I honestly think though if we dont sign him now though Rafa could walk. He had the same problems in Valencia with wanting to buy players and look what happend there.

These yanks are gonna turn us into a laughing stock

I just wonder IF the yanks are doing this just to get Rafa to walk. They obviously still have some problems with Rafa, maybe they see this as a way to get him out without all the negativity of sacking him.

Then they can say its all Rafa's fault and that he did just the same at Valencia etc etc .

Nail on the head, Rafa is leaving one way or another. I think he really p1ssed off the American owners with his childish sulk in the press conference. To be honest I think I would feel the same as they do, you can't have members of staff, which at the end of the day is all Rafa is, acting like that and humiliating you, it's not healthy for the whole club. Hicks And Gillett will sign Mascherano but only with the go ahead of the new manager, so it will happen in the summer.
