Strange.

I was reading yesterday that Luiz Felipe Scolari has targeted Thiago Silva to replace Alex, who’d apparently handed in a transfer request that Chelsea have yet to see.

Brilliant. Silva is after all rated as one of the best central defenders in Brazil and obviously, Scolari has his connections in that neck of the woods. Except, the 24 year old is already reported to have travelled to Milan a few days ago to sort out a deal and have a medical ahead of an agreed move to the Rossoneri in the summer. Mind you, a couple of weeks ago, it was Chelsea who were rumoured to have offered him a contract.

So, have Chelsea missed the boat again or what?
