Chelsea Rumours
""Chelsea could offer him first team football and line him up with players of prestige and superstar quality. Schweini talked up a move to Chelsea in the summer and specifically pointed out that he would love to play along with Dorgba and Lampard. We're a great club which is moving forward although we're in a slump which nearly all clubs go through. We don't have history to offer as both Madrid and Manchester but we are going to create some in the coming years. If we persuaded Ballack probably the best German player of the last decade not because of a fat contract but because we were ambitious and had a plan, then I think we could very well persuade Schweinsteiger to join us. His price tag won't command much in the summer as he will only have one year remaining in his deal. Wages, well if he is willing to accept 80k per week well I think he might as well be a Chelsea player already.What's your thoughts ed?""

Er, no Ballack joined you for the 151k a week wages. Something you cannot offer anymore.

Happy Red!

""Man Untied are reportedly weighing up a 12mil pound bid for the German in January as they think we and City will out bid them in the summer. Other than that, they want a replacement for Scholes and they think Schweni is the player to do so. They really have nothing else to offer except for history and probably ambition. If they win the prem they may have a chance to get him.""

I have heard it all now, the way you are talking makes it sound like you believe Chelsea have dominated United, have a think fella, since 2003 United have won 3 league titles, 3 league cups, 1 FA cup, 1 Champions league & 1 FIFA world club cup. Chelsea have won 3 league titles, 3 FA cups & 2 league cups. I would say its pretty equal wouldn't you? The fact that we have won the league 3 times in the last 4 years shows that we are there or there about, we only lost the league by one point you know, could have been different if Liverpool did not roll over for you.

What could United offer Schweinsteiger more than Chelsea?

Erm. .

1) Better wages
2) A fantastic History
3) A chance to play alongside world class stars, who are not over the hill and 1-2 years away from retirement.
4) To play in front of 76,000 crowd, 95,000 crowd if we get the World cup bid.
5) A chance to replace a Premiership legend (Scholesy).

You should not read what they put in the papers, for starters the story does not make sense, hows bidding in January going to prevent Chelsea or City from bidding in January themselves? Its lazy journalism. Also United will have no problem outbidding Chelsea, its City that we cannot outbid. The fact Ballack has said on two occasions that Bastian should sign for United and the fact that Bastian's brother loves United could also help sway it in our direction?

Personally i believe he will head to Real Madrid.

What do you believe will happen Ed? {ed's note - same as you, he will be off to Madrid and Alonso will probably be the one to make way.}

Lampard to Real Madrid in a part ex with Kaka. I don't believe the injury/injuries that the club and Lampard are proclaiming; I think that he wants to leave and the club want to do the swap.

Personally I would do this.Lampard is 33 by the end of the season and Kaka will only be 29. Both will command high wages but if Kaka comes to Chelsea it will be a straight swap between he and Lampard's wages. We all know what quality Kaka possesses as he won the world cup and the FIFA world player of the year award already. Anchelotti knows him all too well and could get the best out of him. Lampard is done. He looks like he's fed up and wants something more. He had a disappointing world cup and this affected him in a negative way psychologically. He won't have another chance to win the world cup with England as the younger generation will put him out of the squad. He'll probably make it to Euro 2012. I love Lamps like all Chelsea fans but if he wants to go I say let him. It will be heart rushing to see a true Chelsea and English legend end his career with Madrid and Mourinho. What's your thoughts ed, do you think such a deal will take place.

{Editor's Note: I can't see how you can say "Lampard is done. He looks like he's fed up and wants something more" given that he has been out injured for three months - rather like Kaka. I can't see this happening at all.}

It's true Ed.

{Editor's Note: Could you let me have an example of Frank Lampard looking "fed up" over the past three months please.}
