Chelsea are today once again linked with a possible January move for Radamel Falcao.
Speculation this week has included Chelsea apparently looking to take Falcao on loan and Monaco telling them they must pay £80m for the striker or let Fernando Torres or Demba Ba go as part of an exchange deal.
And the Daily Star Sunday, citing sources in France, say Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho plans to table £60m bid for Falcao, 27, amid rumours he is unhappy in Monte Carlo.
However, Monaco vice-president Vadim Vasilyev has insisted: “He is very happy here, he feels very good in Monaco. He loves this club.”
The same newspaper say former England left-back Stuart Pearce has warned Chelsea’s Ashley Cole that he could miss out at the World Cup, with Leighton Baines of Everton being touted as a replacement.
It comes after Pearce said: “It is important to give Leighton as much experience as possible – and that means Ashley faces a battle.
“You’ve also got Kieran Gibbs at Arsenal and you couldn’t completely rule out young Luke Shaw at Southampton.”

I think even cech. This is the good time to replace her. Courtois is young, give her a chance. In striking force, schullre is good enough for that together with traore, that combination was strong.
Can't believe the fact that our strikers can't score goals. Buy Suarez at any cost Mourinho, and no need for Falcao, I guess he would flop just like Torres, if he comes.
I said that mourihno should sign quality players knowing that other coaches are going to prepare their teams.right now cahill and ivanovic are defending with their eyes closed.we have to sign a right back.Wallace must be called back.for cahill since luiz is injured we should give kalas a chance.for the strike force i think its time we put one between traore or schurrie upfront cause they can score.lets do this until we get the quality that we want.one last thing cech is scared to dive .schwazer should replace him
