Terry wants Man City talks!

Chelsea captain John Terry has told Roman Abramovich that he wants to hold talks with Manchester City about a possible £40m move, according to reports in the UK press.

John Terry: Man City transfer target

Terry held showdown talks with Blues owner Abramovich on Saturday night and although the centre-back stopped short of handing in an official transfer request the England international made it clear he wanted to speak to City officials.

The Sunday Times claim Chelsea were willing to make Terry the club’s highest paid player, ahead of Frank Lampard, but they would not match City’s offer of £250,000 a week, plus a £5m signing-on fee.

Terry is thought to want to hear for himself what the Citizens have to offer but Chelsea insiders believe the 28-year-old is just using the transfer speculation to negotiate a better contract at Stamford Bridge.

If the England captain does head to Eastlands, the London club could replace him with Newcastle United centre-back Steven Taylor and will pay up to £10m for the 23-year-old.

Meanwhile, should City manager Mark Hughes miss out on Terry he will turn his attention to Porto defender Bruno Alves. The £20m-rated Portugal international is also wanted by Barcelona.

What??!! Steven Taylor for replacement, You must be joking????

Chelsea Sack Big Phil

Chelsea Manager Luiz Felipe Scolari has been sensationally sacked by Chelsea. For me it’s a bad news rather than good news. Chelsea now has 4 manager under roman who have been sack. I don’t know who gonna replace scolari, It’s a do or die job. If u don’t perform u will get the boot out of the team. I think roman abramovich must have some patience. Not to decide on half of a season, gave him a season to prove it. Now, The manager-less team has no manager and ray wilkins to take place as a caretaker manager. Champions League tie with Juventus is coming soon. 7 points off Man Utd at the top of the league, the nails have already been hammered into their title coffin and dropping 16 points at Stamford Bridge has not helped. Yet the reality is that Chelsea have been far from awful this season. They lost to so called big 4 team. Lost to Arsenal 1-2 , 0-1 v Liverpool and 0-3 v Man U.

A statement on the Chelsea website read: “Luiz Felipe Scolari has been dismissed as manager of Chelsea Football Club today (Monday) with immediate effect. The Chelsea board would like to place on record our gratitude for his time as manager.”Felipe has brought many positives to the club since he joined and we all feel a sense of sadness that our relationship has ended so soon. Unfortunately the results and performances of the team appeared to be deteriorating at a key time in the season.”In order to maintain a challenge for the trophies we are still competing for we felt the only option was to make the change now. The search for a new manager has already started and we hope to have someone in place as soon as possible.”
