Jose Mourinho has had it with the antics of William Gallas.

Gallas failed to show up in Los Angeles where Chelsea are to prepare for the new season, prompting Mourinho to hand over Gallas number 13 to new recruit Michael Ballack.

Ballack said “I had accepted the number 19 shirt. But two days ago the coach (Jose Mourinho) came and said `okay, it’s fine for you to have the 13″.

Mourinho went futher to say that Gallas actions are a total disrespect to him, the players and Chelsea Football Club as whole.

I’m pretty sure they will offload Gallas now,Mourinho has been known to be a taskmaster and prefers a close knit “family” rather than a runway.

This of course will also prompt them to up their bid for Arsenal’s Ashley Cole as they seem to be short at the back with the sale of Del Horno and the possible sales of Huth and Gallas.
