America is an important market for Chelsea


"In America we have to continue our work. It is an important market for us and we need to keep building awareness of the club. The US and South America are huge for us, and you may see us venture into Canada next time we visit. It's a market we need to get the team into, and we'd like to get Canada and perhaps a South American leg on our next visit, so we could be looking at three countries rather than four cities next time around." - Ron Gourlay, Chief Executive

Interest in Guardiola persists!

Roman Abramovich is still keen to lure Guardila to Stamford Bridge. Roberto Di Matteo was recently appointed as permanent manager on a two year deal but his contract may contain a break clause which can be activated after a year allowing the club to make a move for Guardiola next summer. Not much of a progressive gesture at all.

Probable replacements for Bonsingwa

Roberto Di Matteo has compiled his list of candidates to replace Bosingwa. On top of that short list is Dortmund right-back, Piszczek, followed by Ajax full-back Gregory van der Wiel. And even Manchester United's Rafael da Silva.
Piszczek completed the league and cup final with Dortmund and Chelsea scouts were evidently impressed by his performances in a Poland shirt this summer.
Definitely, makes more sense to rebuild this team from the back four instead of buying big names upfront.
