New Chelsea manager Liam Rosenior looks set to have to deal with another quiet January transfer window at Stamford Bridge, barring any dramatic late changes.
The Blues have not looked to do big business in the winter for the last couple of seasons, and even though Rosenior sought transfer assurances the same looks as if it is going to happen this year.
This is despite Jeremy Jacquet choosing Chelsea for his next move, although Rennes look as if they are going to keep hold of him until the summer at least.

Since then, he has not made a first team appearance for the Blues. He has been on the bench four times in all competitions this season.
Robert Sanchez has nailed down the number one spot as his own with impressive performances over the last 12 months, putting Chelsea off signing a new goalkeeper for the first team squad.
