Chelsea Need Henrique Hilário for Next Year

Chelsea wants their backup goalkeeper Henrique Hilário has extended contract at Stamford Bridge for next year. Hilário has played 37 times in total for the Premier League side, has struggled to dislodge regular keeper Petr Cech.

Soon after his arrival at the club, injuries to Cech and Carlo Cudicini in the same game meant Hilario's Chelsea debut came against European champions Barcelona in the Champions League, Hilario keeping a clean sheet in a 1-0 victory.

Essentially, all this made me do was type 'hilarious' three times by accident. Thanks for encouraging my typing skills to go to hell, Chelsea. I really do appreciate it. Anyway, I think Hilario probably has the best job in the world.

Congratuations are due to him getting paid millions (I assume) to watch someone much better than him go out and do their job brilliantly from the best seats in the house. I wish I was Henrique Hilario.

The Blues had a substantial offer rejected by the player's club Santos last summer, but reports suggest they are ready to lodge another bid of £30 million in the coming weeks.

One of those is rumoured to be Inter Milan's Dutch international Wesley Sneijder, who has also attracted the interest of both Manchester United and Manchester City.
