Today, a report from TeamTalk says that the talk has all been \u201cdriven by intermediaries\u201d rather than coming from the Spaniards camp.<\/p>\n Xavi \u201chas shown no active desire to take a job in England at this stage.\u201d The 46 year old seems to have agents mentioning him just to get his name back on people\u2019s lips as he looks for a new role.<\/p>\n We have no idea how accurate this reporting is, but it certainly sounds very much in line with what we were imagining. For all Delaney claimed that Xavi fits with Chelsea\u2019s supposed football philosophy, he doesn\u2019t have the Premier League experience that our owners supposedly want after the disaster of Rosenior.<\/p>\n After two years out of the game, now is the natural time for Xavi\u2019s agents to start putting his name out there, too.<\/p>\n Calum McFarlane took a day off away from his Chelsea players this week, having given them a holiday the week before.<\/p>\n Chelsea have players on loan they\u2019re not sure what to do with \u2013 chief among them a South American wonderkid.<\/p>\n DOWNLOAD THE OFFICIAL CHELSEA NEWS APP FOR ALL THE LATEST UPDATES \u2013 STRAIGHT TO YOUR PHONE!
