This seems to be a pretty unfair statement against the club who are doing what they can. Chelsea tried for Alexis Sanchez and were knocked back, after a great deal of negotiation, by the Udinese owner who wants the player to be sold now but left on loan with Udinese until "at least" the summer. It looked for a while like Barcelona may be open to this proposal, but neither Chelsea nor Manchester United were. At this point, Manchester United's interest in Sanchez seemed to wane, but I very much doubt that it has completely disappeared.

Chelsea Also made a bid for David Luiz of Benfica and were again screwed around by the selling club. As soon as this bid appeared to be failing Chelsea expanded their bid for Atletico Madrid's Sergio Aguero to include Diego Godin - but again this bid was knocked back.

Since then Chelsea have been actively trying to deal with Liverpool over Fernando Torres, and some progress has been made.

As the Ed alluded to earlier, Chelsea have now also gone back to both Udinese and Atletico to see what can be done with their previous bids to see if someone can be bought in. What is not clear to me at the moment is if Chelsea is still looking at Aguero and Godin, or if it is just Aguero that interests them. I also think that Chelsea may now be a little more open minded about letting Sanchez stay until the summer at Udinese, but only if this will facilitate the transfer now. The club wants to ensure that they are in a position to make any significant expenditure before the summer, thereby allowing them to sell surplus players over the summer and to ensure that they are well within the new financial constraints going forward. Issues still remain over centre back, and possibly, right back.

By later tomorrow we will have a much better idea where we are.

And yet, who signed? Neymar last summer, for ex? Chelsea can not sign ANY of their targets.
THIS -were again screwed around by the selling club- is what i am talking about. This bunch of idiots like Arnesen, Forde and Gourlay are making this club a joke, along with the players and Ancelotti who seem that are not too much interested in Chelseas success. Of course, next on the list is being robbed for Torres from that Looserpool, only hope is that Torres fails the medical like Shevchenko should have been rejected, but that's unlikely. Bad, bad times.
