Chelsea are refusing to give Frank Lampard an extension according to BBC......maybe he is going to end up at Inter perhaps Vieri would then go the Stamford Bridge.

DI MAN FOR BLUES
Exclusive by Martin Lipton
MONACO coach Didier Deschamps emerged last night as Chelsea's fall-back option to replace Claudio Ranieri after first choice Jose Mourinho stalled for time.
Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich and chief executive Peter Kenyon believed they had Mourinho in the can after intensive negotiations which were expected to see the Porto coach commit his long-term future to Stamford Bridge.
But Mourinho has now told Chelsea he cannot give them a firm answer until the end of the season, suggesting he is holding out hope of a better offer from Real Madrid, who are certain to sack coach Carlos Quieroz.
That has forced Chelsea to widen their search, with former Blues midfielder Deschamps having been sounded out over his potential availability, even though the sides meet in the Champions League semi-final second leg next week.
Chelsea insiders insisted last night that Mourinho is "90 per cent certain" to take up the offer of leading the Abramovich revolution, despite Porto's fury at their advances for a coach who still has two years left on his contract at the Portuguese champions. However, his agent, Luso Jose Mendes last night signalled the next stage of the game as he said: "I will repeat there is nothing signed nor decided with Chelsea. Everything is pending until the end of the season. Porto and Jose are both testing each other."
That stance has forced Chelsea to consider alternatives and the man who stands within 90 minutes of ending the club's Champions League dream is very much in the frame.
Abramovich and Kenyon were impressed with the calm way Deschamps coped with the sending off of midfielder Andreas Zikos last week, in stark contrast to Ranieri's all-or-nothing brainstorm.
Deschamps had been courted by Juventus, but they recoiled at his demand for a £3.5m-a-year contract, a figure easily in Mr Abramovich's reach.

Ranieri: Roman is plotting Real raid
Tuesday, 27 April 2004

Claudio Ranieri has confirmed Chelsea's interest in signing Ronaldo and David Beckham, according to Italian daily Tuttosport.
The Turin-based newspaper claims Ranieri has said he has an open mind over his future as reports continue to indicate that the Italian will leave Stamford Bridge, with Porto coach Jose Mourinho strong favourite to take over the reins.
Wealthy owner Roman Abramovich looks set to stun the football world even further in the summer if he manages to pull off some ambitious plans.
"Yes, Chelsea are thinking of Ronaldo and Beckham," Ranieri is quoted as stating in Tuttosport.
"There is only one person in the world that can try and take them from Florentino Perez and he is called Roman Abramovich."
The likeable former Atletico Madrid boss is still in the dark over his future, even revealing he might take a year off if the axe is wielded in West London.
"I've never spoken about it before because of the respect towards those who pay me," he added.
"I haven't got a new team, also because I am under contract until 2007 and other clubs, until now, have avoided making me serious offers because they know this.
"Sure, it's difficult thinking I will stay at Chelsea so I'm thinking about what I'll be doing next year and here I want to make the concept clear.
"I could also stop for a season because I'm not desperately looking for a (role on the) bench.
"I've had important experiences in Italy, Spain and England and none of these championships gives me fear.
"I'll choose the project, not the country, and only when I'm convinced of the goodness of the ideas that are put in front of me."
