bridge views 06 November @ 12:15 PM EST

The Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) kindly announced today that they would grant Chelsea's request for a stay in the club's transfer ban, meaning Chelsea will now be free to flash the cash in January. Of course their final judgement over the club's alleged wrong-doing over the signing of Gael Kakuta is still to come, but in the short-term Chelsea will be able to strengthen the squad if Ancelotti feels reinforcements are needed.
