My uncle plays golf with the first team doctor at Chelsea, Bryan English. According to him, Chelsea have set their sights firmly on Michael Owen the January transfer window. Newcastle remain concerned that Owen will leave for free once his contract is up in the summer (despite Owen's reassurances), and Chelsea believe they can get him for about 2-4 million, offering Franco di Santo (the young Argentine striker) on loan to Newcastle for the rest of the season. Scolari wants another forward to cover Anelka and Drogba, but is unsure of Owen, even at a cut price (don't know why!) - the desire to bring Owen to Stamford Bridge is apparently coming from Frank Arneson.

Ashley will sell the club to him and his consortium by mid next week. Lee Sinnott has been contacted and is ready to join the coaching staff if not actually taking over in the hot seat.
