The Chelsea Daily Drivel - Monday 5th July 2010

"‘It is very likely that Fernando Torres will stay in the Premier League, but I cannot say that it will be with Liverpool. We are working on his future but right now you cannot guarantee that he will stay with the English club. Barcelona are ruled out. Barcelona have signed David Villa and now they want to invest the money they have in other players.’"

""I think he is a very intelligent player, very technical, different from other types of players we have in the squad, For me he is a very good player so I think he will be very welcome.""

""As a player I only hope that if somebody leaves, he will be replaced with a player at least with the same quality or better. I think this is important for the group then you know that if someone leaves, their departure will not create any gap between the quality of the last season and the new season.""
