Chelsea have done the best business in the January transfer window, again - Paul Scholes
You knew that if it was Juan Cuadrado they wanted, they would get him
OK, so I never had a transfer in my career, but I used to love deadline day: Dimitar Berbatov turning up at Manchester airport with hours to go, Robinho coming to Manchester City instead of Chelsea.
On Monday night I think I turned the telly off at 9pm. I decided I could wait until the next day to find out whether Carlton Cole was joining West Brom.
Looking at his stats, I’m not sure that over the course of his career he is an outstanding goalscorer or maker of assists. A bit like Willian, he is one of those players who does not have the big numbers but he still manages to impress you with what he does. What is clear at Chelsea, however, is that if you do not perform you do not last long in the squad.
