I actually think there might be something in this latest rumour surrounding SWP. Whether this sighting of Ian Wright has anything to do with it I don't know, but certainly the comments exchanged between Wright and Lineker in the studio made me think that there is somethiing going on here.
I think Chelsea would obviously prefer not to sell SWP to a rival, but at the end of the day I think they will be sympathetic to the lad and if he wants to sign for us then I don't think they'll force him to stay against his will. They blatantly don't need him, as has been proven by them winning the league without ever giving him a sustained run in the side. I think they'll hold out for around 15 million though and I can't see Benitez offering over 10, I think this could be more of a problem than whether Chelsea would sell him to a rival.
