The futures of Didier Drogba and Frank Lampard are expected to be resolved by the end of the week, a source has informed chelsea-mad.
While chief executive Peter Kenyon attempts to pin down Real Madrid to sign over Robinho, it's the extended contract offers for Droga and Lamps that is taking the headlines.
Lampard is mulling over a move to Italy while not one serious bid has yet come through the Chelsea fax machine for Drogba.
Both could well decide that the grass is not greener on the other side and that their futures remain firmly rooted in West London.
If both stay it will be a massive boost to the squad as they prepare to regain the league title and go one better in the Champions League.
Lampard need not fear the arrival of Deco who was bought specifically to push the Blues over the Champions League line.
While up front, there is not a striker in the world who has Drogba's battling and committed qualities.
If Chelsea nab Robinho then, the money Real will have made will assist them in their audacious world record breaking move for Manchester United's Ronaldo.
So come on Drogs and Lamps, sign up now and get your heads down to training.
Come on, Kenyon, sign up Robinho and free up the cash to lure Manchester's talisman out of the Premier League - you know it makes good business sense.
