ROBERTO CARLOS TO CHELSEA?

According to British media report Roberto Carlos who plays for Fenerbahce ,is winking to move to Chelsea....

Roberto Carlos has told Chelsea he would be ‘very attracted’ if they were to come knocking for his services.

Carlos was a key part of Luiz Felipe Scolari’s World Cup-winning Brazilian side back in 2002 and, after the arrival of Deco, it appears the new Blues boss is keen to recruit one or two faces he has worked with in the past.

Furthermore, following the capture of Jose Bosingwa – as well as Deco - Scolari seems intent on signing players who have experience of winning The Champions League, a trophy Carlos has won three times.

The 35-year-old admits he is yet to be contacted by a Chelsea official, but he would be interested should they seek his signature.

“I am content at Fenerbahce, but I am a man who likes challenges and a move to Chelsea would be very attractive,” said Roberto Carlos in the Daily Star.

“I understand that Felipe wants people with him who he has confidence in and who he knows.

“As yet I have not spoken to him since he has arrived at Chelsea.”

Fenerbahce sign Spain striker Guiza

Real Mallorca have confirmed striker Dani Guiza has left the club to join Turkish side Fenerbahce.

The 27-year-old joined Mallorca from Primera Liga rivals Getafe last summer and netted 27 goals last season to finish as the leading scorer in the Primera Liga.

That form helped the striker win a place in Spain's successful Euro 2008 squad under coach Luis Aragones, who will be his new boss at Fener.

Guiza will travel to Istanbul on Monday to put pen to paper on a four-year contract with the Turkish side.

Neither club disclosed details of the transfer fee for the former Getafe frontman, who netted his first two international goals at the European Championships as Spain secured the country's first major trophy for 44 years.

Guiza netted in the group game against Greece and the semi-final triumph over Russia en
route to glory in Austria.

On Saturday the former Liverpool winger´s transfer to the Turkish club was confirmed, sparking criticism that he should have considered the deaths of Christopher Loftus and Kevin Speight prior to their UEFA Cup semi-final with Galatasaray in 2000.

"My love and respect for Leeds United and what the club has done for me will never change, no matter what anyone says about me and whatever their motives are," said Kewell in an open letter to Leeds fans, sent to Sky Sports.

Blatter: Dogan's legacy will live on


FIFA President Joseph S. Blatter has praised Hasan Dogan's contribution to football in a heartfelt letter after learning of his sudden death on Saturday.

The president of the Turkey FA suffered a heart attack during a lunchtime meeting with national team coach Fatih Terim and TFF board member Levent Kazil in Mugla and later died in hospital. He was 52.

His death came just over a week after Turkey's run to the semi-finals of UEFA EURO 2008 and has left the FIFA President shocked and saddened by the news. However, Blatter believes that Dogan's legacy to the game of football will live on.

He wrote: "We will remember his vast experience and know-how, his determination to develop the game as well as his unique personality. Being a thorough idealist Hasan Dogan managed to position not only Turkish club football but also the Turkish national team on an international level in only a few months at the helm of the TFF.

"We will retain fond memories of an accomplished leader and an extraordinary man whose great human qualities ensured that he left an indelible mark on the game of football, not only in helping to develop football in Turkey but also around the world.".

Dogan was elected to the presidency of the TFF in February having previously worked as vice-president between 2004 and 2006. Flags at the home of FIFA in Zurich will be flown at half-mast as a mark of respect.
