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 ." 星期三晚上老大對於買入 A. Cole 的事發表聲明: "我們有跟阿森納討論 A. Cole 轉會事宜。我們提出了可觀的價碼。 然而明顯地 Chelsea 跟 Arsenal 對於這個球員的價值持不同看法。 因此目前我們還沒有達到共識。" Following Wednesday night’s game against Celtic, Mourinho explained: 老大在星期三晚上比賽完後更進一步解釋: “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. "我們沒有失去耐心。但 A. Cole 是阿森納的球員，他們有權利不接受我們開的價， 相對的我們也有權利決定到底要花多少錢。" “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.” "目前開價已經達到我們的底限，我們一磅也不會再增加。 對於一個很棒的球員來說，這已經是個很好的提議。 但要不要接受，仍掌控在阿森納的手中。" 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 老大說，雖然目前看來走到死路，但不表示這個交易已經完全沒希望。 另外，老大也有打算買進別的左後衛。 “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. "當你想要簽下一個球員時，你不能把他當作是世界上最後一個球員。 在那同時你也要考慮其他可能的選擇。 當然得到 A. Cole 對我們來說很重要，但同時他對阿森納來說也很重要 也許阿森納會想留著他自己用。" “Unless we sign another left-back, because I want only one more, not two more, there is a chance it will happen.” "所以除非我們在談妥之前就簽下別的左後衛， (因為我只想要再加一個左後衛，兩個就太多了) A.Cole 轉入還是有可能發生的。" by Paul Mason --
