We might have been linked with Sergio Aguero but as far as Carlo Ancelotti’s concerned, the press can what they like – we won’t be buying anyone in January.
In fact, the Chelsea manager is so intent on putting the rumours to bed he’s threatening to get his own kit off!
Unfortunately, if his intention was to shut the press up, Ancelotti seems to had the opposite effect by insisting “I can tell you I will not be buying anybody in January. Absolutely no way. I am willing to pay a forfeit if I do, even to run round the training ground naked! Of course, there are coaches in Italy who say that you should never say anything is 100 per cent. You should always say 99.99 per cent. But I am not changing my mind about the transfer window. We have a lot of confidence in my strikers. Not only Drogba, not only Kalou, not only Anelka. Also Sturridge and Borini. I have not asked for new players to my club. And Roman Abramovich hasn’t asked me if I need any. In my opinion, I think that we have good solutions internally even when we lose the African players. If you have new players, maybe it’s a problem in February or March, when the others come back and are available. We don’t need them in this moment, to have new players.”
And just to make sure none of us are in any doubt whatsoever, Ancelotti threatens “I’ll streak round Cobham if I’m telling lies!”
How funny would it be if Abramovich decided to open his wallet?
Blue is the colour
