  Valencia striker David Villa has dropped a big hint he'd be happy to make a mega money move to Chelsea in the summer.
  He said: "It's a great compliment that the interest of a team as strong as Chelsea is mentioned that much. But I have a contract with Valencia and have not received any offer so I don't know if there will be a transfer in the summer."
  
  Valencia have put a £70million price tag on the striker, 25, but Villa said: "It's barbaric to talk about a sum like that, it's madness. But football is like that."
  
  The Spanish strike-ace also told the News of the World: "I am a great fan of English football but we all have contracts and it will be a question of what offers arrive this summer."

  Chelsea chief meets agent of Valencia duo Villa, Angulo
  tribalfooball.com - April 03, 2007
  
  Chelsea football chief Frank Arnesen has held talks with the agent of Valencia striker David Villa.
  DiarioSport says Arnesen recently met with Jose Luis Tamargo to discuss their interest in Villa - and also another of his clients, fellow Valencia striker Miguel Angel Angulo.
  
  Tamargo knows Villa is a high priority target for Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich and was asked by Arnesen to find out what fee Valencia would be willing to sell the Spanish ace for.
  
  Villa last year extended his contract at Valencia to 2013, with his buyout clause set at £100 million. Despite a series of disagreements this season, Arnesen, Abramovich and Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho are all in agreement over the need to bring Villa to Stamford Bridge next season.

  i wonder chelsea want so many strikers for fark? I think nxt season shld see marked improvement from Shevchenko? Drogba is only going to be more lethal - and then there is the Salou or something - youngster.
  
  Why don't they beef up their midfield & defense?

  Fortunately we had Essien to rely on when Terry was out!
  
  That Boula guy seems quite ineffective.
  
  I still miss Gallas. Does anyone else think he used to play better when he was with Chelsea?
