English papers are reporting that John Terry is threatening to quit Chelsea. According to The Sun he was expecting a 9 year contract worth 130k/week. But Chelsea is only offering 5 years with a slight raise over 90k.

In other Chelsea news, Roman Abramovich ranks #16 in the annual Forbes list of billionaires. http://www.forbes.com/lists/2007/10/...vich_DG3G.html
Guess he can't afford Terry.

Lampard also has so far failed to sign a new contract. He was offered 100K a week. So far all the presence of "Ballack" who is on 150K has achieved is to unsettle two of our much more important players.I dont often notice his presence any where else.

I can imagine being payed 50K a week less than the Invisible man(1) is deeply galling.


(1)(xcept of course for that goal against Porto. That said I would expect any player X that we were paying 150K a week to get a goal now and then.Maybe also break a sweat and kick the ball more than once each half .)
