No, Chelsea are going for Del Horno of Athletic as well. And Milan are trying to swap Kaladze for Hernan, but Chelsea want adiditonal money. fair enough, i'd say.

from www.goal.com:

Kaladze-Crespo, si va verso uno scambio alla pari 30/05/2005 14.22.00

I destini di due giocatori del Milan potrebbero incrociarsi nelle prossime ore: Kakha Kaladze è sul punto di firmare un contratto quadriennale con il Chelsea che cederebbe come contropartita Crespo a titolo definitivo. E' stato lo stesso difensore a confermare l'esistenza della trattativa dopo la partita con l'Udinese ("Il Chelsea mi vuole, ho bisogno di giocare di più") e le due società lavorano alacremente per limare i dettagli dello scambio.

Il Chelsea pretenderebbe un conguaglio che Galliani non sembra intenzionato a concedere, al massimo potrebbe aggiungere un milione di euro al cartellino del georgiano. Mourinho con l'acquisto di Kaladze e dello spagnolo Del Horno sistema la fascia sinistra della difesa e ora può dedicarsi alla ricerca di un centravanti da 20 goal a stagione.

I can't see that either of these is really good for the club: Simic hasn't performed this season and is just taking up space on the wage bill IMO and Kaladze is a good player who we should try and keep. I suppose if we have signed Jankulovski, then I can kind of understand why Khaka would be allowed to leave, but to be honest I'm not happy with either of these developments.

IF these rumours about the cash Atheltico owes us are true then we should use that to get this guy, never heard of him myself but Kaladze hasn't been that good for us, any quality left back would do a similar job.

Kaladze is a solid left back and plays well when called upon. But I think now is the time for him to leave with Maldini and now Jankulovski ahead of him. But I think Chelsea wouldn't pay what I think he's worth.

As for Simic staying I doubt he will play much anyway.

Changing kaladze for crespo AND giving extra money is crazy!!
Crespo doesnt worth that much, and Mourinho wouldnt even play him if he comes back, he is just saying stuff so chelsea can get more money from us.

I believe Atltico Madrid still owe us a ton of money but it's not Del Horno we will be making a move for as it seems he belongs to Chelsea but maybe Torres or their left back Perea (who is wanted by Real and Inter).

Selling Kaladze is way too crazy! Janku is able to play Serginho/Seedorf's role while Nesta-Stam is far less comfortable.

Kaladze eyes Milan exit
Monday May 30 2005

AC Milan's Georgian defender Kakha Kaladze is to leave the club with Chelsea his reported destination.

Kaladze has not been a regular for the club this season, and Gazzetta dello Sport says in Monday's edition that he is joining the English champions.

After Sunday's draw with Udinese, Kaladze said: "I'm disappointed to leave, but I need to play much more."

Issue: Football365

It is crazy, but likely...

Del Horno is almost certainly on his way to Chelsea so i doubt Kaladze will be going to Chelsea too. If he is coming to the Premiership it might be Arsenal? Cole is a great left back but might leave because of a contract dispute that got ugly (he got caught meeting Mourinho ) so maybe they want Kakha as a replacement.

Im not sure why we should sell him anyway, as Stefan said it hinges on whehter Jankolowski arrives or not....

And he has arrived.

Even so, having Simic stay and Kaladze leave just doesnt sound right.

I would like to see Khaka stay with us even now that we have Janku. IMO, Janku would be more useful in a Seedorf/Serginho type of role for he is not exactly a wall at the back. The only way I would agree to see Khaka go is if we sign Chivu or somebody else who could play solidly ath left back.
As for him going to Chelsea, if del Horno does end up in London, I am not sure how Khaka is going to get more play time with Chelsea than he is getting right now with us.
One more thing - it is Atletico Madrid that owe us money and not Atletic Bilbao, and del Horno plays for the Basque outfit from Bilbao, not for Atletico Madrid. Don't get these two confused.

But putting him in Seedorf's position can only mean its either him or Seedorf that will be benched. Hes better in that position but I think Milan bought him for the LB position maybe?

Very dissapointed to see Kaladze go.
