The Chelsea Daily Drivel

""Now he is playing a fantastic World Cup campaign, there is definitely increasing interest, But when it comes down to concrete bids, nothing has been done. We want him to stay on and actually there is no news. There are no indications he does not want to see out his contract at our club.""

"'The position has been made redundant. We have the necessary security at Chelsea.'"

""Fernando is a wonderful striker and I understand the fans' concerns about his future, Unfortunately with the World Cup still on, I won't be able to meet him face to face for another few weeks. That's just circumstance and you won't hear me complaining about it.

When I do meet him, I will be doing everything I possibly can to convince him that Liverpool is the place to be. If he sees progress, I am confident that he won't want to go anywhere else. I think he understands the club and the city.""
