January Transfer Window
With January drawing closer, it's time for a little transfer speculation again boys and girls.
Who's going where?
Will Chelsea send Shevchenko back to Milan and move for David Villa?
Will Owen Hargreaves finally get his dream move to the Premiership leaders?
What do we think?

I was convinced United would get Torres during the summer, but I'm not so sure about a January move, especially considering most of the speculation has died down following Larsson's arrival. Besides, he's not been playing that well over in Spain.
Atletico haven't played in Europe, so he isn't cup tied, but I don't think he's interested in a move to Chelsea either. I guess we'll have to wait and see.
Oh, and the Beckham thing is ludicrous.

To be fair, I missed what Berlusconi said regarding Shevchenko's move to Chelsea. I tend not to go hunting for Chelsea stories. 
It wouldn't surprise me if they did try and get rid, purely because he hasn't been an instant hit. It's not like money means anything to them.
Not too sure on the Crespo comment. If they sent Sheva back to Italy, I think he'd bang in a fair few, much more suited to the style of play over there.

Granted you're only two points behind us, but you've got a bottomless pit of dirty money to play with and are not racing away with it like previous years...and that's with Ballack, Cole, Boulahrouz, Mikel, Kalou and Shevchenko!

Glazers setting aside £25m to pay for next Old Trafford 'superstar' - Sport - Times Online
If you ignore the gloomy figures (i.e. level of debt), the prospect of having £25m set aside for a 'superstar' is fairly mouthwatering.
Watching Torres last night against Barca, he looked largely uninterested. He's either fed up at Atletico and ready for a change, or suffering from a lack of confidence in his ability.
I'm hoping it's the first.

So being only two points behind considering you have been playing out of you skin is not too bad.
Looking forward to your "blip" though
, you know, the one that Ferguson has been expecting us to do for the last few seasons

By buying shares in Aeroflot when they were low and selling when they went sky high?And investing heavily in Sibneft Oil, of which he was the owner, very dodgy money in oil
.No doubt you have the true reasons how he made his money.
At least he is a very rich man investing in a footbal club, as apposed to a very poor one buying one to pay off his debts

Seems his money is running out Chelsea to spend less!
Do you think a salary cap should be introduced? Like rugby league? Just interested in your thoughts.

Roman Abramovich and Boris Berezovsky acquired shares in Sibneft by bidding in the auctions through several front companies that they set up for the purpose. These transactions, widely denounced as unethical or illegal, were approved by Boris Yeltsin who had good relations with Berezovsky and Abramovich at that time. According to General Alexander Korzhakov, former chief of Yeltsin's security service, Abramovich manages finances for Yeltsin and his family.
According to David Satter, author of Darkness at Dawn, "what drove the process was not the determination to create a system based on universal values but rather the will to introduce a system of private ownership, which, in the absence of law, opened the way for the criminal pursuit of money and power."
That guides my interpretation.

So basically you have 3 good right backs already, then another very good one turns up, and you decide to buy him now just incase Utd or Arsenal try to get him in the summer.
And who said you can't buy a title???
And has anyone else noticed how the Chelsea fans are moaning all the time about injuries..... which is what they accused Utd fans of doing last year!!!
