Obviously this is just a rumour and I'm not sure how solid this is but hey it's a rumour site right?

Apparently Edin Dzeko refuses to be part of a potential Manchester city cash + player bid for Cavani, and the rumours of them making a 55 million cash offer are pure speculation (like everything. )

But there are several journalists in Italy have the idea that there will be a meeting between Chelsea and Napoli on Wednesday with a view to a 58 million euro + bonuses deal for Cavani.
Could be accurate but could more than likely be rubbish but like I said its a rumour site right?!

Lets wait and see what happens over the next few days about this news

My opinion is that luiz will stay and Jose will cut the fancy play out of him and mould him into a new Ricardo Calvalho. Pace, passing, no-non sense defender, just my opinion

Chelsea have won the race for Bristol City teenager Jacob Maddox. Maddox is regarded as one of the brightest young talents in the country.

So apparently Mkhityran fancies a move to London over Merseyside, any chance in hijacking Liverpools bid for him? Looks a top young talent with loads of goals in him.
Any thoughts guys?

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Already got loads of players in his posotion.

Agree0 Disagree0

Isn't he another attacking midfielder? Reckon we've got enough of those right now. Unless he's excellent as a striker as well, but I somehow doubt that

Agree0 Disagree0

Actually he's more of a CM than AM.

Hi Eds,

Is the signing of Lewandowski completely out of the question for any team other than Bayern? Would Chelsea be interested in signing him if there was an opportunity to do so?

Thanks.

Against Spain Catania was awful, why spend over 50 million on him if we already have Torres, ba, lukaku and now schurrle

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Catania, lol

Agree0 Disagree0

So you're basing your opinion on Cavani from one game? How about over the past two seasons and more?

Agree0 Disagree0

How can you judge him against Spain.
Uruguay had like 20% possession.

Agree0 Disagree0

True he wasnt in the game much but his body language reminded me of Torres, just could not be bothered in the least. He doesn't play like that for Napoli that's for sure. Scott M.

Blackman should be our homegrown option next season but only as third choice. Walker will go Colchester either on loan or on a long term deal.

Azpilicueta should be our first choice RB for a while to come, Wallace will go out on loan with Roma linked in this capacity. Kalas and Omereu will both ultimately be CB's who will only offer cover at RB and I'd like to see both, especially Kalas, get some or PL experience on loan first. Kane has the ability to break into the first team squad.

Bertrand had an up and down season last year, although he played out of position a lot. When Cole was injured towards the end of last season Bertrand played very well. PVA enjoyed a very good season last year - arguably one of our more successful loanees. A decision won't be made re. LB till next summer, unless another club forces our Luke Shaw hand. Shaw is still very young and could well bomb next season (although I don't think he will), Bertrand and PVA could be all we need.

Luiz needs to stay at the club but maybe not as a CB. Terry is in the twilight of his career, Ivanovic may well leave and Cahill is a good squad player but not first choice. Chalobah and Ake are coming through but this is a position where strength may have to come from investment.

I am amazed you did not get the managers job instead of Jose.

Our Luke Shaw hand, J?

If anyone has some information on the supposed Hulk-interest, could you please give an update. I don't want it to be true. He would be quite a waste for that much money.

Franco

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Just used the search function and seen that Ed confirmed on 6. 7. 13 that there was again interest in Hulk from Chelsea. I'm inclined to agree with you and don't particularly want him at Chelsea. From what I can make of other rumours and reports, Monaco have also shown an interest. There hasn't been too much else recently. It would seem that he would be interested in a move away from Zenit, and I would assume it is something we will hear more about after the Confederations Cup has finished.

For me one of the biggest things this summer that hasn't received much attention is the purging of the youth players. It's a sad situation but if done right you can really enhance your youth system. I'm just going to go position by position and due to it being extremely long I'm going to keep this part to defenders only.

Gk- (Cech, courtois, Blackman, walker, and delac) Cech will obviously be around and the starter and courtois will be out on loan. Beyond that we need two more goalies with hilario and Turnbull leaving. There has been mention made by the eds that the club is looking to bring in a homegrown goalkeeper (presumably to be the #2). This leaves room for one more player which will likely come from the remaining three. I think the remaining two should be moved on with delac being an obvious choice due to him not being homegrown. Between Blackman and walker I would prefer Blackman being that he is 2 years younger and can get games with the u21 side.

Rb- (azpilicueta, kalas, Wallace, Kane, omereu, Hutchinson) Cesar has really made this position his own this year with a few exceptions in the Europa league. Beyond that Paulo left which means we need cover. I like the idea of bringing kalas back because he's proven to be capable of being a rotation player not only as a right back but also as a centre half. It's kills me to say this but hutch is just too injury prone to give a consistent squad spot to. I don't believe Wallace is ready to be involved in the first team and should either be loaned or nursed in the reserves for a year. Omereu can't get a permit yet so will go on loan (hopefully to a bigger team). And finally Kane is interesting because he looks like he has the potential to be a solid backup and he's also homegrown and came through the academy.

Lb- (cole, Bertrand, pva) cole will be the starter next year unless something drastic happens but will likely be gone the following year with Luke shaw hopefully being his replacement. That said one of Bertrand and pva can definitely serve a role at the club as a backup for a long time. Going into this year I would say it had to be Bertrand but after watching a lot of vitesse this season I would say pva massively outplayed Bertrand and I think it's time the club decided on one and moved the other on.

Cb- (terry, Luiz, ivanovic, Cahill, ake, bruma) this seems to me to be a pretty easy position to project. Terry is 32 and probably won't be a major contributor much longer. Luiz can be nurtured into one of the best centre halfs in the world but the same can be said of him as a centre mid which I think is one of the major decisions of the summer. I believe Cahill is a fantastic #3 to have as a centre half being mobile and a nice bonus that he's homegrown. Ivanovic will continue to be serviceable however I think if you get a major offer from someone like Monaco which has been rumored then you might be smart to jump on it and purchase a young centre half who is ready for the first team. I think ake would benefit from a year on loan to someone in the championship where he will get loads of time (ala chalobah). Bruma should get moved on pretty cut and dry.

Very interested to hear your guys thoughts.

In my opinion, I think David Luiz should be positioned in midfield. He seems to be a lot more attack-minded, is able to control the tempo and dictate from the midfield. As Chelsea fans we all want to see our players develop to their highest potential and I believe the midfield is where he is most effective.
With our defenders, strongly believe we need to bring in a young Cb. We have an ageing defence line and would love to see some players brought in.

Agree0 Disagree0

Gk, Cech, delac ( as he will get work permit beginning of next month) Blackman, Courtios ( is being loaned as we all know. )
Cb, Burma won't be staying. Kalas is a good second RIGHTBACK. But also centre back. Wallace will be loaned no doubt. I think van aanholt will be second lb. had a really good season.

Agree0 Disagree0

I agree alpha I think he has a far greater influence there and if he does get forward we won't necessarily get buried for it. I also think it's easier to find a centre half to fill his spot than a midfielder that's capable of doing what he does.
