The Chelsea Daily Drivel.

The Chelsea Daily Drivel is a daily update of all the stories concerning our club, the rumours, the opinions and more....

So here is the latest from around the web on Thursday 29th July 2010 including: Nicolas Anelka and Neil Bath,

First to news of Nico Anelka now he back at "home" at Chelsea after the World Cup disaster in South Africa. He has spoken now he has back. He said:

"Training so far has been good and I feel fit, we worked very hard and it will be harder and harder until the beginning of the season. After a few days you want to be out playing matches again, I like my football so when I come back, I can't wait to be on the pitch and playing.

I have been playing for so long and I still want to play and win every game. When you have this kind of mentality and play at this kind of club you want to play, enjoy your football and win your games.

We have two games in Germany, so we play them and we want to win them, that's the most important thing, It is good to start in that way before the season, we have a good team and when you play for Chelsea you have to win all your games, so we will go there and try to come back with good results.

When we are back from Germany, we have the Community Shield which is a big game, but for the players the most important is to be fit for the first league game against West Brom.

Now to Chelsea Academy Chief Neil Bath. After a successful season last season winning the FA Youth Cup Bath has revealed it will not be too long until we begin to see some of the current crop into the first team squad and beyond. He said:

"We talk about winning youth tournaments as progress and getting debuts and appearances, and getting lads out on loan, but ultimately it is all about getting players into the first team squad. When Carlo says maybe five lads in you start thinking okay, this year is really starting to show a light at the end of the tunnel because it has been difficult. We are getting there but we are still a way off."
