Well Kayoko ?.?45.000,000 , Roman Abramovich tells Chelsea to make record bid for Ribery, and has told Chelsea chief executive Ron Gourlay to close the deal in January for the Bayern Munich winger, and are prepared to wait until the summer, a move that will see Ribery become the high paid player in the premiership...

Bayern Munich have stated that Ribery is under contract until 2011, however Ribery's future at Bayern is looking more unstable as the winger failed to make appearances at the crucial Champions League qualifier with Maccabi Haifa saying his wife is suffering with swine flu of all things, and at the same time venting his frustration with Bayern lack of form.


Chelsea on the other hand have cruised into the second round of the Champions league, while Bayern on the other hand have to beat Juventus away their final game if they are to reach the last sixteen..

Abramovich will offer ?200,000 a week for the France winger in hope of luring him to Stamford Bridge.

My thoughts... a waste of money and lets be honest when is Abramovich going to leave Ancelottei to manage?..He can't help interfering.. look at the fiasco over the dismissal of the special one Jose M arguably managed Chelsea's most successful period in resent years, he foisted players on Jose M he frankly did not even ask for....One thing that makes the Premiership the best is it's so unpredictable, Man U and Arsenal has shown that careful nurturing of young apprentices pays dividends to both football as a business and the spirit enshrined in the wonderful game.....

?I believe for us the most important thing is to stick to our game, do not focus on any special individual on the other side ?.....Arsene Wenger.....

OK Kayako the Blues are eight point clear with arsenal having one game in hand the pressure have got to be on Arsenal who with all their skill and a passionate young side have not lifted a trophy since 2005

Arsene Wenger has told his young team to prove their "moment has come" as they prepare to host Premier League leaders Chelsea on Sunday"

?Here is a period for any team to come out and show its strength. For my team, this moment has come," said Wenger. "We have the strength and we want to show we're strong enough to beat them." Arsenal are third in the table a win for the Gunners would close the gap to just five points. Defeat however, would make a challenge for the Premier League title an extremely difficult prospect against Carlo Ancelotti's Chelsea, "We are not any more a team that has to be considered to be young," gushed Wenger ?.?I believe for us the most important thing is to stick to our game, do not focus on any special individual on the other side, because you win these kind of games by dominating the game. If we focus too much on Chelsea it won't help us."



I will be lurking Kayako ?..no going walk about now ?

Val.... Man U are still the bookies favourite... Ryan Giggs will be hoping to score his 100th Premier League goal on the eve of his 36th birthday, a modern day Bobby Charlton for sure, and what makes football players such icons for younger players hoping to make their mark in a sometimes cruel game ?.

United are the only team in the Premier League who have not dropped any points from a winning position in the league this season.
