Some interesting news on Florent Malouda, who should probably be going away sometime soon - Chelsea are apparently trying to offload him to Brazilian side Fluminense. I'm not entirely sure how reliable 'SZRD' are, but they're not English and so I'm inclined to trust them:
#CFC player Malouda has been offered to #Fluminense, says 'SRZD'. He has a Brazilian wife & has affirmed before he'd like to play in Brazil.

Note that this does not mean that Malouda is going anywhere. He's still under contract for a year and all three parties would have to want this to happen for a deal to go through (duh). Chelsea's motivations are obvious, because Malouda's pretty pointless and he costs money. Malouda's and Fluminense's would be less so, although you'd have to imagine that there'd be plenty of money in it for Florent if he went, and he's on record as saying he'd like to play in Brazil at some point. Something to keep an eye on, at any rate.
