  Sunderland last night finalised a loan deal for Chelsea midfielder Steve Sidwell. The former Reading star, 25, has agreed to go to the Stadium of Light for the remainder of the season and will move to Wearside at the end of the month once Chelsea's get their players back from the African Nations Cup.

  Actually Chelsea don't need him at all... They already have Lampard, Essien, Makelele, Ballack & John Mikel Obi fighting for 2 spot so where got place for him? Better leave chelsea for good lah cos he is still not chelsea's class player...

  Steve Sidwell is reportedly prepared to snub Sunderland's loan offer and gamble on the chance that Everton will come in for him. Sidwell moved from Reading to Chelsea on a free transfer last summer but has found his first-team chances extremely limited due to Chelsea's array of talented midfielders.
  
  Sunderland and Chelsea were believed to have reached an agreement for Sidwell to join the Black Cats on loan for the rest of the season but reports suggest today on Merseyside that Sidwell will reject the offer from the north-east.
  
  David Moyes has shown interest in Sidwell before and needs some back-up to his squad following a number of departures for the African Cup Of Nations. His situation isn't helped by the fact that he is probably going to lose James McFadden and Thomas Gravesen soon as they both want first-team football.
  
  But the fact that Chelsea have a several players absent through injury and the African Cup of Nations means they will be reluctant to let Sidwell leave before the end of month.

  Ultimately he belongs to "The Others" in the premier league. People used to question why Wenger let such a talented player go
