Report: Drogba Agrees to Join Inter

It could still be :bs:. But I guess it is left to Anelka and Sheva to compete if we don't get a new striker.

Chelsea striker Drogba has been strongly linked with a transfer away from Stamford Bridge for several months now, and he has been widely tipped to leave as he searches for a new challenge.

For a long time Milan had been the favourites to snap up the Ivory Coast international, however they all but withdrew their interest last month.

It had been looking increasingly likely that the 30-year-old would end up staying with Chelsea, however according to confidential sources in Italy, Drogba will be moving to San Siro after all, only not with Milan, but with city rivals Inter.

The Nerazzurri have recently appointed Jose Mourinho as their new coach, who is well known to have a fantastic relationship with Drogba from their time together at Chelsea.

Sources say that Drogba has already agreed a move with Inter, and that all that is required to complete the deal is for a transfer fee to be sorted. The Ivorian could be included in the same deal that will see Frank Lampard end up at the Stadio Meazza.

In order to make way for Drogba, Inter will sell Hernan Crespo, and possibly Victor Obinna, who is set to arrive from Chievo Verona.

Scolari To Give Sheva Second Chance

I still have faith in Sheva. I hope he can score a lot of goals for Chelsea.

New Chelsea boss Luiz Felipe Scolari is willing to give striker Andriy Shevchenko another chance to shine at Stamford Bridge, news daily The People claims.

The Ukrainian star joined Chelsea from AC Milan in 2006 for a fee of 39 million euros but has yet to justify such figure, having been considered one of Premier League's biggest transfer flops.

After two seasons in which he found goals extremely hard to come by, it was reported that The Blues were ready to off-load the player, with AC Milan and Barcelona emerging as possible suitors.

But Big Phil, who was appointed as coach earlier this summer, is interested in granting Shevchenko another opportunity to shine, this way pleasing the club's owner, Roman Abramovich, who orchestrated the Ukrainian's signing nearly two years ago.

Scolari will have the chance to coach his recently-inherited squad for the first time in tomorrow's pre-season training.

Shevchenko, who made just 17 appearances for Chelsea under Avram Grant, is expected to be given a starting role in the club's pre-season tour of Russia and the Far East.

Pizarro Keen For Scolari Chance

I think Pizarro will be a good substitute. Maybe he will do better in his second season in England.

omfg, we're wasting so much time here, Sheva has had 2 seasons to show what hes made of and all hes done is scored maybe 5-6 goals that mattered

Pizarro is just crap.. I prefer Anelka over him man.

Sheva was used as a substitute last season, same with Pizarro. Scolari knows what he is doing. Lets see what he does

Chelsea Crossbar Challenge 08



Even Avram Grant Takes A Shot!

[persian boy]

Scolari intends to trim the Blues squad.

Chelsea manager Luiz Felipe Scolari says he will be getting rid of surplus players this summer.

Scolari will do his best to hang on to stars such as Didier Drogba and Frank Lampard, but says he will allow others to seek first team football elsewhere.

The Brazilian said: "Now I have 32 players. But now is the time to change the team. One will come and one will go, three players might be wanted by other teams.

"I want to work with 23, 24, 25 players. If I have 30 players I can't bring them in from the youth side. The players know this.

"When I spoke to them yesterday, I said, 'There will be 23, 24 or 25 who will stay. That is the maximum I will need'.

He added: "After this, is not my business. Contracts are not for me. That is for the players.

"After this happens, some players might say 'No, the coach didn't say this to me before'. But all the players know I want to work with no more than 25."

With this statement, that means he may get rid of 6-7 guys!

I say get rid of: Pizarro, Ben Haim, Wright-Philips(is leaving), Sidwell, Bridge or Ferreira, and maybe Makalele, hes getting old.

what do you think of this lineup? (if Drogba stays) Cole and Malouda can be super-subs off the bench. Ballack/Lampard will vary, depending on if Lamps sticks with the Blues.

Definitely prefer Cole to Mikel

He will improve like Ballack did in his second season. And if he doesn't, there is always Kalou that can play there
