4. Wayne Rooney Chelsea bound
Blues’ billionaire owner Roman Abramovich has personally sanctioned a stunning £30million move for the unsettled Manchester United star – who had a plea for a move rejected by manager Alex Ferguson a fortnight ago.
There has been growing speculation about Wayne Rooney’s future at Man United, pre-dating news of Ferguson’s departure, and the 27 year old has certainly played a less pivotal role in the club’s Premier League title success this term as he has in previous campaigns.

Let me know you’re thoughts. Which player would you like to see at Chelsea? KTBFFH.
my darling team.
Spanish midfielder xabi Alonso need in chelsea and Andre schurrie.
Alonso would be needed if he was 6 years younger. With all the fuss been made about how old Frankie is, Signing Xabi would just be an insult to Lamps. We wont sign Alonso.
Hulk is washed up and hasnt been playing in a top league. We need an in form striker to lead our line. I doubt we’ll sign him.
All we need Now to see in chelsea is to sign to quality stricker rather than signing A midfielder
i want schurrel
lewandowski is abetter choice for attacking but also is aged.
falcao is the best of all.
Cavani is a more complete striker than any in the world at the moment
