Afternoon ed002. just a quick one.

There's a lot of paper talk about Sterling looking to buy a property in London.

My question is. are Chelsea still interested in him?

Cheers bud . Have a good day.

{Ed002's Note - You need a realtor or estate agent to ask about buying houses in London.}

Liverpool will never sell Sterling to English club. If (IF) they decide to sell their best it will be abroad for hefty money.

13 May 2015 09:20:37
They won't have a choice over his future destination (where he to leave) if he doesn't sign a new contract. they have a choice of either selling him now or risk losing him on a free transfer at the end of next season.

{Ed002's Note - No, that is not true.}

As for signings in the summer. Most important for me is another centre mid. Obviously pogba or koke would be ideal, but both look to be hard to get. I like Miralem pjanic, always have. But if Mikel goes to Madrid and ramires goes juventus were gunna have to sign one more as lofts cheek will have one place. Would love for us to go all out to get koke and pogba, but that is major money!
Fabregas moving forward is a possibility, but I really feel hazard is the one to play behind the striker. At the moment hazard has usually got three players trying to mark him. The way he runs through the middle of defences and midfileds is unbelievable. So if he moves inside we need some real wingers, not just wingers we need goal scoring wide men. For me Willian doesn't do enough in attack, although great team player and effort, he still frustrates the hell out of me. Or is this just joses tactics. Obviously we need a striker or two depending on what happens with saolanke and bamford. And obviously remy? As for defence I don't think we need anyone this summer. Terry Cahill zouma kalas. Plus ivanovic.

{Ed002's Note - At this time there is no agreement with Ivanovic.}

12 May 2015 20:27:39
I am confident that Chelsea won't let Ivanovic to leave.

13 May 2015 09:32:05
ivanovic has been fantastic this season. At the beginning when we were attacking he was scoring. When we've sat backa little he's defended like a beast. Who else has a right back as strong as brana.

13 May 2015 19:12:10
I would prefer that he moves next to Terry even if have to sign back up right back.
Real will be reluctant to sell Varane to us.

So ed with city going to Turin for talks with pogba are we going to make a genuine interest or is his valuation. To much

{Ed002's Note - It is of no consequence about "city going to Turin".}

12 May 2015 10:59:05
Why has it no consequence it surely means there now in the driving seat to sign him does it not? Who realistically do you think we might sign for midfield I no u do t want to go around in circles mentioning same name as so in but genuinely is koke possible and is griezman possible

{Ed002's Note - I have explained where there is interest. Clichés like "in the driving seat" are simply embarrassing to read?}

Looks like we've signed Nathan. He's posted a picture on Instagram of him in a training shirt and signing what looks like a contract. Will be interesting to see his development, a lot of teams were interested apparently 👌

12 May 2015 01:58:55
Can you confirm this Ed?

{Ed002's Note - Yes, and a deal for Kenedy is all but done as well (subject to a few things).}

12 May 2015 07:33:53
Yes looks like it's about done. Exciting signing and it'll be interesting to see which club he gets loaned to. Maybe send him to Vitesse and take Traore back from them? I'd be delighted with that :-)

{Ed002's Note - Whatever happens it is nothing to do with Traore.}

12 May 2015 09:36:45
Yeah sorry, I didn't mean to imply that they were connected in any case. I just want Traore back and Vitesse could be a good first club in Europe for Nathan.

{Ed002's Note - Right now that is unlikely.}

12 May 2015 11:57:05
Hmm shame. Thanks for the information, Ed002 :)

12 May 2015 12:02:24
Hi Ed,

Can I ask if Chelsea do everything legally and follow the rules in those 2 cases? i'm quite cautious about a transfer ban after the Ashley Cole deal.

{Ed002's Note - Of course.}

12 May 2015 23:12:07
Was no ban after the ashley Cole deal
