Abramovich wants Ronaldinho at Chelsea in January
-
Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich will back new manager Avram Grant to bring in multi-million-pound talent in the New Year, with Barcelona superstar Ronaldinho the principal target.
But Grant is likely to have to work alongside Russia coach Guus Hiddink after the Dutchman revealed that he had held detailed talks with Abramovich a week before the Russian parted company with Jose Mourinho.
Abramovich is taking more direct control of his club by compiling a team of advisers that includes Grant, Frank Arnesen, who runs youth development and recruitment, and Piet De Visser, the 73-year-old scout who acts as a personal football consultant to the Russian oligarch.
According to those close to the former manager, it was this committee of trusted lieutenants around the billionaire owner that made Mourinho's position intolerable.
Grant, who will remain at the apex of the group, will be allowed to hire new coaching staff. Portsmouth No 2 Tony Adams is a potential assistant, having worked with Grant during the Israeli's spell as technical director at Fratton Park last year.
According to a source close to Grant, Abramovich will 'throw millions at him' in the transfer window, in stark contrast to the refusal to spend big money in the last six months of Mourinho's reign. -

i think its actually possible.
recently ronaldinho was sub out cos of not playing well. but i think its more than that
ronaldinho and rijkaard arent the best of friends. furthurmore, its difficult to play henry eto'o messi and rondinho all in the same team. -
that nutcase thinks all good players can click and play together nicely
and he just lost a good manager
-

as its impossible tat barca will keep all 4 hapi n play a 4-2-4 formation rite
-

He is nuts.
He is really turning his'investment' into FM2007 -
what does roman abramovich knows about football? not every team can play attacking football just because he wants his team to, not at least in the short term. It takes time for a team to gel and also many matches and training to get used to different styles of play. Bringing ronaldhino will help chelsea play more attacking football to a small extent only, maybe we ll only see more flipflaps and tricks from the brazilian master but i do feel that it is money wasted again by RA.

If Roman wants Ronnie by January, i'm sure Ronnie will be a flop. I believe Ronnie needs some time to settle down.
Oh yah, maybe Abramovich wants to see another Shevchenko?
Cheers. -

Ronnie: Come 'n get me Roman
Ronaldinho wants talks over a move to Chelsea after a fall-out with Barcelona boss Frank Rijkaard.
The Brazil star has told his brother Roberto de Assis to begin negotiations because of a “campaign against him” at the Nou Camp.
Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich is on red-alert to swoop for the frontman with a
£50million bid after meeting with De Assis last month.
Ronaldinho, 27, is furious he was fronted up by Rijkaard over allegations of boozing less than 48 hours before a game.
Rijkaard said: “The player told me it was not true. I believe him.”
But De Assis rapped: “I’m sure a campaign exists against Ronaldinho. I have read many absurd stories about his nightlife.” -
Galacticos lineup at Chelsea? Is Roman planning on that??
Geez!

Rom hands Ron £58m contract
RONALDINHO has agreed a whopping £58million Chelsea contract — if he decides to join.
The superstar is looking to leave Barcelona and his agent has accepted a five-year deal worth £11.6m a year.
But Ron could still snub Roman Abramovich and choose to go elsewhere. If Chelsea agree a fee with Barcelona, the Brazil World-Cup winner could be unveiled at the end of the season.
Ron, 27, would be the highest-paid player ever on a massive £223,000 a week — £88k a week more than Blues skipper John Terry.
Chelsea will NOT have to pay Ronaldinho’s £85m get-out clause after his row with Barca — but they would still have to cough up a world-record £70m.
Ron’s current contract has three years to run and is worth around £135,000 a week. AC Milan are also interested but will not be able to match the Blues’ offer. -
