From Sky Sports:

Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho has revealed he is in the market for a new striker as he is allowing Hernan Crespo to leave.

Crespo is looking to depart Stamford Bridge to return to Italy and Mourinho is ready to grant the striker his wish.

The former Lazio ace returned to Chelsea last summer after a successful loan spell at Milan in the 2004/2005 season.

Crespo has never his hidden his desire to return to Italy and it seems almost certain the Argentine international will move back to Serie A.

"Hernan is a Chelsea player, but he's never hidden the fact that his wish is to return to Italy," Mourinho told Gazzetta dello Sport.

"He has always been very correct. I have allowed him to go, from Monday he will be with the Argentina national team.

"We will evaluate the alternatives."

Looks bad. Crespo goes to Milan with cash and Chelski get Shevchenko. Bloody hell! hope they don't get Shevchenko, why don't they buy John Carew or somebody of his ilk instead.

Milan didnt want him this season, so now a year older, less match fit, do you think they'll want him this season?

What about Ruud+cash=Shev?
