Portugal international midfielder Deco could be set for a move to England after Barcelona confirmed he is free to talk to interested clubs.

The Brazil-born star, who is likely to be a target for a number of Premier League clubs, said: "I will almost certainly go to England or Italy.

"I won't stay in Spain as the only club at the same level as Barcelona is Madrid and I would never go to Madrid.

"I will go where I want and not where the club tells me."

He's a cheat of the highest order.

Chelsea, then?

If he wasn't a shadow of his former self and rather dirty, I'd take him.

**T-C** · 05-15-2008, 04:04 PM

He'd be a top class signing for any club in my opinion.

I think with our Portugal connection, we could get him. How much will Barca let him go for though?

I doubt they would want much for him at all, they seem to just want rid. I doubt he would do much to improve us, but he would help nearly any other team in Europe.

I'd say Chelsea is most likely as they seem to want to change their style of play, and Deco would make them play a more pleasing on the eye style by himself.

I can't think of any Top 4 Team that needs more Centre Mids, except Arsenal and I don't think it's likely that they'd tke the plunge on him.

If Chelsea want to play a more attractive style of football they will have to change their midfield though.

I can see him ending up at Chelsea, what with the fact I see plenty of their squad leaving in the summer.

**T-C** · 05-15-2008, 04:18 PM

Yea I see there being somewhat of a mass overhaul at Chelsea and Barca, moreso Barca.

It's also a possibility that Deco could wait to see where Mourinho and follow him.

Chelsea have Ballack, Lampard, Mikel, Essien and probably still Makelele for one more season. I don't think Deco would really fit in.

Could be wrong.

He'd be fairly useful to Inter or AC. Stankovic, Vieira and the likes looked pretty turd against us in the CL, so they could use some reinforcement, and AC are basically creating a new midfield.
