Plan B: For Rooney. Yes decent choice but Madrid is holding to 40 million.

Mourinho to send Wallace out on loan:
http://espnfc.com/news/story/_/id/1502278/jose-mourinho-send-chelsea-defender-wallace-loan?cc=5901

"He's a very good player - but he won't be staying with us because we have Ivanovic and Azpilicueta for the same position. Because he is non-EU we'll not get the work permit, it'll be too early, so he'll go on loan for a season."

"We'll get the best option for him, in Europe. We want him to adapt. He's very mature for his age, comfortable with the ball. He has the quality of a Brazilian full-back, likes to attack and create."

"So we'll see the best of him: he has talent and is one more investment for this club, a good investment, because the kid is a very good player."

"Josh McEachran will go on loan and we are thinking of letting Nathaniel Chalobah go for a last season, though he is for sure, a Chelsea player and could be in our squad already."

"Of the others, Lucas Piazon will go out, Wallace will go on too because he has no work permit. And while we'd like to keep Bertrand Traore we know he might not get a permit."

- José Mourinho

Makes sense. Chalobah doesn't seem ready yet.

Confirmation on that:

He also says Feruz will stay with the U21s and that this will "for sure" be Chalobah's last season on loan and he'll be "back to stay for 2014/15".
