Why people still pay any attention to these links are totally beyond me.
Cudicini
Does being free prevent you from signing? It's not like he was released.
If he doesn't count, then I'd probably say Poyet
Rather ironic 'Duncan Disorderly ' stopping a fight, if that what it was!
Looked like handbags to me
I'd take him
Give them £25 million plus Tom Carroll
He wd bring a bit of bite and urgency
Big mate of Kyle Walker I hear
Seems they let him leave as he was promised more playing time and out of his 9 years of loyal service to them. He was never going to be an important addition to our squad and as such proved to be another squad keeper. Good shout on Poyet, was he a free/out of contract job as well?
Chelsea have reluctantly sanctioned Carlo Cudicini's free-transfer move across London to their bitter rivals Tottenham as a reward for the Italian's nine years of service, with Luiz Felipe Scolari left to consider recruiting a new goalkeeper to act as back-up for Petr Cech.
Cudicini signed an 18-month contract at White Hart Lane yesterday on the understanding he will play more games for Spurs than he has done in recent times at Stamford Bridge. The Italian has made 216 appearances for Chelsea since joining the club – initially on loan – in 1999, but has played only two league games this season having been consigned to second-choice since Cech's arrival in 2004. He will make his Spurs debut against Stoke tonight.
Chelsea had resisted the 35-year-old's departure when Tottenham's interest first became apparent, only for their stance to mellow when it became clear Cudicini had been promised regular football. "I am pleased for Carlo that with this move he will have more opportunities to play, as he is a fantastic goalkeeper," said Scolari.
Cudicini admitted he was intent on challenging Heurelho Gomes, whom Juande Ramos signed for £7.8m from PSV Eindhoven last summer, for the No1 jersey at Tottenham. "It will be fantastic to work with him and we'll try to push each other," he said. "I think it will be a fair competition and that is good for the team."
Scolari has been left with Henrique Hilário as his first-choice back-up goalkeeper, with the youngsters Rhys Taylor and Niclas Heimann also available, but has compiled a short-list of possible recruits, including the 32-year-old Milan player Marco Storari, and one could be brought in before the closure of the transfer window next week.
The Premier League challengers have more pressing concerns as they address Wednesday's visit of Middlesbrough to Stamford Bridge, with Ricardo Carvalho unlikely to be involved and rendered doubtful for Sunday's daunting trip to Liverpool with a hamstring injury sustained during Saturday's FA Cup fourth round victory against Ipswich. The Portuguese defender underwent a scan yesterday, the results of which are to be scrutinised today, and could leave Scolari to play Alex and Branislav Ivanovic against Boro as John Terry still struggles to overcome a back complaint.
John Mikel Obi, meanwhile, will be available for the visit of Middlesbrough despite being charged for alleged drink-driving on the Fulham Road at 5.30am on Saturday. Chelsea is seeking "to establish the full facts" relating to the incident before deciding whether to impose any internal sanction on the player.
Scolari last night loaned the young midfielder Lee Sawyer, 19, to Coventry City for a month. Another loanee, the Peruvian striker Claudio Pizarro, has expressed a desire to make his temporary switch to Werder Bremen permanent in the summer. The Bremen director of sport, Klaus Allofs, has indicated that the Bundesliga club are also keen to reach agreement with the Londoners. "Claudio has told us that he wants to stay," he said. "We have to be patient but we would also like to keep Claudio here."
We signed Cunty from them.
He did score that goal.
He is seems to be very Cunty towards us on Talk Shite.
Not a fan of Barkley, he has the talent but overpriced as he's an English starlet and his decision making is poor.
If we're signing someone for 35 million I'd want the complete player and not a gamble on certain traits like we did with Sissoko. Who I'm hopeful will turn out good. But we need a sure fire player to improve us in January and I don't see that. I'm a massive fan of Zaha though if Levy has found 35 million down the back of his sofa.

Maybe my expectations have taken a proper kicking as the season has progressed but Sissoko hasn't looked as enragingly shite his last couple of appearances. Poch dropping him may have actually done something. Well fuck me, I didn't think that stuff like that worked anymore.
Poyet cost us a few million.
Last time I even remember us allegedly trying to sign one of theirs was Salamon Kalou back around 2012. Amazingly he's scoring for fun for Hertha Berlin at the moment.
I don't see it happening. Koeman has said publicly he wants to make the squad younger and trim some of the older players, so why would he sell off their best young talent?
