By the headline it seems likely that Hiddink will be staying on past this season, which is backed up by the “reliable” source of the Daily Express. This story has been plastered all over various sport sections in the British national newspapers over the past few weeks, since the Dutchmen joined the London club in early February.

Onto the supposed “shopping list” that Hiddink has given to the Chelsea hierarchy.  Immediately, if this is true, it would be easy to surmise that Russian owner Roman Abrahmovic has fallen back in love with the club he bought back in June 2003.

The newspaper claims that almost 100 million pounds is at Hiddink’s disposal.  The players that he has shortlisted include Karim Benzema, Yuri Zhirkov, Wagner Love, Dani Alves, and most surprisingly, Robinho. Some of these players would be good additions to the squad.

However, according to several other newspapers this will be partly funded by having several players shipped out of the club.

Deco, Florent Malouda, Paulo Ferreira, Mineiro, Branislav Ivanovic, and Didier Drogba will all leave according to various sources.

Personally, I am very confused with the claims that Drogba will be leaving as he has had a recent upturn in form after Scolari left. However, what do Chelsea fans think of the situation?
