Ancelotti insists no Chelsea clearout planned

Chelsea boss Carlo Ancelotti insists he's not considering a big clearout in the summer.

Much has been made of Chelsea's ageing side since their defeat at the hands of Jose Mourinho's Inter but Ancelotti is refusing to press the panic button.

When asked if he was looking at a major overhaul of the squad during the summer, Ancelotti replied: "We haven't planned. It's not the time now to plan.

"We have to look to the next game. We have 11 matches left until the end of the season and, after them, we'll have a lot of time to speak about the future of this team.

"It's normal that, with a new season, there are new faces. This is normal.

"Really, now, I want to think about this team. I want to put this team in the best position until the end of the season.

"Now is not the right moment, we have other things to think about. We have to look at the Premier League and the FA Cup.

"This is not an easy moment because we are out of the important competition, the Champions League, and we are disappointed about this.

"But this is football and we have to look forward to the next game. We have to have a very good reaction in the next game. Every game will be very important for us.

"We have 10 or 11 games before the end of the season and we can still do a fantastic season. We are involved in two important competitions so, after this disappointment, we need to have a good reaction."

Anon you said all this yesterday Why not? because most of your options are expensive and Abramovich will not spend like before no matter what the press say. Some won't want to come to England thats another ''why not'' Some won't want to come to Chelsea another ''why not'' Somme are at clubs that will hold us to ransom ''another why not'' and some are no better than what we have in some cases. Personally I would be glad to see that back of Joe Cole unlike most as he has never impressed anyobody other than Avraam Grant and flatters to decieve has never had a seasonof consistancy and does not dominate games and i see him as a selfish type of player who wants to look good on the pitch more than teh results he produces Mourinho saw that too so who am i to argue?
