      Credit to fifa for this one like. Am a right in saying that some chelsea players go to the African Nations in Janurary?

      Chelsea currently has four African players who can play for the African Nations Cup. Drogba, Essien, Kalou and Mikel. I suppose the worst case scenario for them is an injury during the tournament to a non-African player. Perhaps, Anelka being injured while Drogba and Kalou is away, which leaves them with no striker save... *checks wiki* ... a Daniel "who?" Sturridge.

      Are Chelsea going to banned players for not going the African Nations or let them go.

      Drogba and Kalou (Ivory Coast)
      Essien (Ghana) and Obi Mikel (Nigeria)

      This news has just made my day!

      Chelsea still surviving on the likes of Drogba and Anelka for the next 2 seasons. And they'll both be 33 by then! :lmao:

      No new signings for 2 seasons.. Class.. Can imagine the looks on the players' face now.

      The next day..

      'Ancelotti resigns.'

      Under FIFA regulations Chelsea now have 10 days in which to lodge an appeal with the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS). Given the severity of the punishment, it is almost certain the club will take that course of action.

      Back in July 2005 Italian club Roma were similarly banned from signing players for a one year period over the controversial signing of defender Philippe Mexes from French club Auxerre. However, CAS later overturned FIFA's ruling.

      I'll be praying that the ruling wouldn't be overturned.. Come on CAS.

      You just reminded me of this, as well! :lmao:

      I'll imagine players like Essien and Drogba playing for their nations. Should be January 2010.

      And Chavs will be down to their bare bones. Literally.

      No worry ayrton, even though they'll do fine but theý will not be able to strengthen. Which is a plus. And no match winners as well.

      Kenyon happy with dealings

      The Blues failed to bring in a big-name signing before the transfer window slammed shut on Tuesday despite being linked with a host of players.

      Chelsea managed to tie down key trio John Terry, Ashley Cole and Didier Drogba this summer and Kenyon believes securing the side's best players is as important as bringing in new faces.

      "I think there's been a lot of emphasis generally around football on transfers, but we've added to our squad," Kenyon told Sky Sports News.

      "We've been quiet, but we got the players we wanted.

      "If I look at Didier Drogba, if I look at Ashley Cole, if I look at John Terry those are players who could walk into any other team in Europe."

      Impact

      Kenyon believes new Blues coach Carlo Ancelotti has had a positive impact in West London, with Chelsea enjoying a fine start to the new season in winning their opening four Premier League games.

      "Carlo's made a big impact already, he's an experienced manager. He's done it as a player, done it as a coach and he's really engaged in playing in the Premiership," noted Kenyon.

      Kenyon is confident Chelsea will enjoy success under Ancelotti and believes they can achieve a clean sweep of all honours, with the coveted UEFA Champions League crown at the top of their wanted list.

      "We think we can win everything, but I think the reality of that is there is an added edge.

      "I was at the Champions League draw with John Terry last week and John made the point he is fed up walking past the trophy, he wants to pick it up.

      "That is the desire we've got at Chelsea."

      Glorious.

      If players leave Chelsea then they are in some deep sh*t.

      Superb news though.

      Musn't forget that they have a relatively ageing squad as well.

      I guess we just have to take the piss out of their current selectionn of rent boys, then.

      Oh and well done Fifa! They already have an aging squad, this is music to my ears that they are gong to be rotting with the same group of players for 2 years.

      If the players wanted to they could almost hold that club to ransom if their contract runs out in the mean time they could demand a pay rise or they'll leave on a bosman. :laugh:
