If you were looking for confirmation that Josimar Quintero is definitely a Chelsea player -- now you have it from the man himself (with a hat tip to @GoallineDrama). The former Barcelona youth has tweeted his goodbyes to his old club and revealed that his destination is definitely Stamford Bridge:
Bueno hoy toca despedirme donde he vivido tantas cosas, solo tengo palabras de agradecimiento al futbol club barcelona

Not all transfer have to be protracted and painful (cough Cavani cough). Of course, Quintero's a very young prospect -- 16 year-old wingers generally aren't much good to the first team -- but whenever we can add talent to the organisation we definitely should. Although Chelsea have a reputation in the media for being a place where young players struggle, that doesn't seem to translate into players' decisions. They want to come to Cobham, and a slew of elite youngsters have been making that move for some time now.
Anyway. Genuine transfer news. Hot damn!
