Mourinho – Chelsea said "No!" to Ashley Cole Transfer

The Real Madrid manager Jose Mourinho admitted that he was keen on buying Ashley Cole from Chelsea, but he says that he has accepted the response from Carlo Ancelotti that Cole is not for sale.

“We thought about him because he’s a good player who I enjoyed working with. But when a coach says ‘no’ it’s no, and we have to accept that,” Mourinho said. “Carlo Ancelotti was very, very clear … he killed the story saying, no money can buy Ashley Cole,”

Ashley Cole is one of the best left-backs in the world, so it was obvious that Ancelotti would not be keen on losing him, but the good news is that Ashley must also have been part of that decision, and he wants to stay.

That will do for me!
