Update: The drama queen is fine

What had initially been feared as another metatarsal fracture for an England international in the closing months prior to the World Cup appears only to be strained ligaments in the foot of John Terry.

With the FA Cup final on Saturday versus Portsmouth, Chelsea's only remaining game this season, the London club decided to take the precautionary route and put a protective boot on Terry's foot. Now it appears as if not only will Terry definitely still be fit for the World Cup, he looks to still be ready to play in this weekend's big match at Wembley Stadium.


There will sure to be plenty of summer splashes from many of the big boys, but one club that may be looking to dump players is Liverpool. Losing out on the Champions League and the extra millions of Euros the club had counted on, Liverpool is in dire financial condition at the moment and may need to sell off players to make up for the difference or at least give themselves some breathing room.

Additionally it had been long rumored that had the Merseyside club failed to qualify for the UCL, Spanish forward Fernando Torres would ask for a transfer to a club that was in the competition. Although Manchester City also failed to qualify for the UCL, they have been one talked about destination for Torres talking about making him one of the highest paid forwards of all time while also offering a potential record transfer bid.

However, the latest club to be mentioned in the same breath as Torres is Chelsea. Apparently Carlo Ancelotti will have plenty of money to play around with this summer, and the Blues are talking about a £70 bid for Torres, a move that would be welcomed by both Didier Drogba and Terry.

"I have heard the talk about Torres maybe coming in and I would welcome it, of course,'' Drogba said. "Every time there is a new player coming here it's making the club bigger and giving us a lot of strength. If there is a chance for him to come he will be welcome because any help is welcome!"

Drogba and semi-bozo Nicolas Anelka put up 51 combined goals this season at Chelsea, as Drogba won the golden boot with 29 goals in the English Premier League in 2009-10. But can you imagine a lineup that featured two of the top three forwards in the world. That would be an amazing tandem and something I would love to see even though I am a much bigger Arsenal fan.
