Bolton's Cahill demands Cole wages at Chelsea - double Mata

Bolton Wanderers defender Gary Cahill risks pricing himself out of a move to Chelsea.

The Daily Express says Cahill has staggered the Blues by demanding a £120,000-a-week contract after Chelsea and Bolton had agreed a £7million fee.

That would put him on the same salary as Chelsea left-back Ashley Cole and only £30,000 a week short of top earners John Terry, Frank Lampard and Fernando Torres.

With his Bolton contract expiring in the summer, Cahill is aware he can get a big deal – but Chelsea have told the defender to get real. They are prepared to give him £70,000 a week, which is still more than summer signing Juan Mata.

i hate seeing my darling team Manchester United being decomposed by teams like Blackburn rovers, Newcastle United. What really matters now is that Sir Alex Ferguson is the cause of this misfortune for Man united. He should either be sacked or he should rather go get better players for the team.

Please forget Cahill! he's already made a bad name for himsel

Jan Vertonghen will be a better option then. Although an English player would have been better for squad purposes.
