Mourinho: Cole deal in Arsenal's hands Thursday, Aug 10, 2006 http://www.chelseafc.com/article.asp?hlid=408943&m=8&y=2006 Jose Mourinho has given his thoughts on the attempt to sign Ashley Cole in the wake of Chelsea Football Club’s Wednesday evening statement on the current situation. The club statement said: “Chelsea FC has been in discussions with Arsenal Football Club for some time over the possible transfer of Ashley Cole. “Chelsea has made a very substantial offer for the player. Although discussions have continued, Arsenal’s valuation of the player does not match Chelsea’s and therefore no agreement can be reached in the current circumstances ." 星期三晚上老大对於买入 A. Cole 的事发表声明: "我们有跟阿森纳讨论 A. Cole 转会事宜。我们提出了可观的价码。 然而明显地 Chelsea 跟 Arsenal 对於这个球员的价值持不同看法。 因此目前我们还没有达到共识。" Following Wednesday night’s game against Celtic, Mourinho explained: 老大在星期三晚上比赛完後更进一步解释: “We didn’t lose patience. Ashley Cole is an Arsenal player. They have the power in their hands to say yes or no and we have the power in our hands to say how far our offer goes. "我们没有失去耐心。但 A. Cole 是阿森纳的球员，他们有权利不接受我们开的价， 相对的我们也有权利决定到底要花多少钱。" “Our offer went to the limit. The club doesn’t move ahead one more single pound and I agree completely because our offer is an excellent offer for, of course, an excellent player. But it is in their hands and they say no.” "目前开价已经达到我们的底限，我们一磅也不会再增加。 对於一个很棒的球员来说，这已经是个很好的提议。 但要不要接受，仍掌控在阿森纳的手中。" Mourinho stated that the current impasse didn’t mean a deal was totally dead, nor did he rule out the possibility of capturing a different left-back 老大说，虽然目前看来走到死路，但不表示这个交易已经完全没希望。 另外，老大也有打算买进别的左後卫。 “When you try to sign a player you cannot think this is the only player in the world you can get. You must think at the same time for some alternatives. Of course he [Cole] was an important choice for us but I can imagine he is also important for Arsenal and probably they want to keep him. "当你想要签下一个球员时，你不能把他当作是世界上最後一个球员。 在那同时你也要考虑其他可能的选择。 当然得到 A. Cole 对我们来说很重要，但同时他对阿森纳来说也很重要 也许阿森纳会想留着他自己用。" “Unless we sign another left-back, because I want only one more, not two more, there is a chance it will happen.” "所以除非我们在谈妥之前就签下别的左後卫， (因为我只想要再加一个左後卫，两个就太多了) A.Cole 转入还是有可能发生的。" by Paul Mason --
