The Chelsea Daily Drivel - Wednesday 16th June 2010

""I know he played crap at the weekend against the USA but I think that was purely down to nerves. I really rate Milner and at the age he is, would be one that would come to the club with an already excellent repuation and would look to improve year on year and this would be great for Chelsea. Let's hope this one isn't just speculation and Chelsea make a formal offer in the coming days/weeks""

"I really really hope that the Benayoun deal is just his agent speculating about his player to either get a pay rise or a new deal. This isn't the kind of player we need to bring to the club as I have said before. I simply for the life of me can't understand how you can let Joe Cole leave and replace him with Benayoun. "

"Rubbish if you ask me!. First of all the fee involved is ridiculous and the player wages are a joke. This one to me seems as though the players agent is looking for a better deal from Real and he will more than likely get that, and stay at Madrid. "

""He asked me to play on the right wing, which I have never done in my career. His approach to the game after the interval (long ball)was not correct. The mistake was wanting to win within 45 minutes.That made us anxious and we could even have lost.""

""The idea is that he comes up and we look at each other, He's just signed a new contract at Chelsea. They have high hopes for him.""

""It was everybody's decision, but yes, my decision to play and say to the manager that if he needed me, I was going to be there, I could be ready. We have five days to prepare for this game, so I am there.""
