Chelsea loaned Quaresma
Chelsea have loaned Quaresma until the end of the season with the option to make the move permanent.

The former Porto and Barcelona player was signed last summer by Inter but failed to impress Jose Mourinho. Regarded by many as good as Ronaldo, Quaresma failed to adapt to Italian football and at the end of 2008 he was awarded with the status of the weakest player in Serie A “the Golden Bin”.
Probably the Portuguese winger will have better performances at Chelsea where he will rejoin his former Portugal coach with which he had some notable performances.
It seems that the financial crisis is felt also at Chelsea. Chelsea and Roman Abramovic delighted the fans with big name signings like Drogba, Essien, Ballack in the last couple of seasons but now after failing to sign Robinho all they can do is to hope that Quaresma will shine at Stamford Bridge.
Quaresma could take advantage of the poor form showed by Malouda this season. The only concern for him could be the fans patience who started to worry regarding this season title chances.
Who should leave and who should Mourinho bring at Inter?
Few rounds ago Inter were seven points ahead Juventus and looked like they will remain comfortable.

The last three Serie A matches were awful for Mourinho & co. Inter managed to collect only 4 points after the lucky victory 2-1 at Siena, 1-1 draw with Cagliari and then the painfully defeat 3-1 at Atalanta. After this defeat, the second of the season, Mourinho and Moratti had their first conflict.
The Portuguese coach has lost his temper and criticized his players. Mourinho also made a list with the players that he doesn’t need anymore. Materazzi, Dacourt, Crespo and Burdisso are all set to leave but the list could be bigger.
Inter has one of the biggest squad in Europe and Mourinho want to reduce it for a better management. In principle Moratti agrees with the idea and now all they have to do is to find possible destinations for the unwanted players. Also Mancini, Quaresma and Vieira could be on the move considering the little time they played in this season. The first two could not adapt yet and Vieira was most of the time injured, but all three have offers and they could be aloud to leave.
Moratti repeated few times that there will be no transfer this winter but if all this players will leave probably there will be one or two that will come. There are also offers for Balotelli and Adriano but is unlikely that they will be aloud to leave untill summer.
Aguero, Ze Maria, Arshavin, Tevez, Ronaldo are only few targets for Mourinho but probably none of them will be solved in this transfer period.
The departure of the players could also have some negative aspects considering the numbers of injuries in the last time and that the numerous squad was one of the advantages that brought the latest successes for Inter.
