Hi eds just a quick one
When 2 clubs want players from each others team do they do a deal regarding both players together or are they done as two completely different purchases
Just asking as press inverted commas say cfc want sandro and juve want matic
I know you normally say don't over complicate things but was just wondering if it made it easier
Thanks in advance.

ED02

Glad your back. your insight is very much appreciated all the way here in Canada.

My question is this.

Have you heard anything about how many more players Chelsea are considering/ looking to add to the squad.

I don't need names or position.

Thanks in advance.

{Ed002's Note - Some.}

24 Jul 2017 19:59:39
Don't need names. yes we do! That's what we've missed. Ed002,is it possible to offer some names that we may be looking at. Thanks.

{Ed002's Note - Alex Sandro is of interest, Candreva should be possible, a right wing-back or someone who can be converted in to one, a striker perhaps. I have provided names in the past - it really doesn't move too much. The club will not buy for the sake of it.}

24 Jul 2017 20:17:45
Thanks Ed. Still hoping we can sign Sandro, surprised with Candreva link, thought that had gone in January. Oxlaide-Chamberlain could be converted I suppose. Dembele/ Llorente as back up would be nice!

24 Jul 2017 20:24:21
Can I ask the situation with Sandro. You mentioned before juve kept moving the goalposts regarding fee, is it a case of juve wanting to buy replacement first or was there talks about deal for matic, does the player even want a move?

{Ed002's Note - There is no agreement - they want him to stay and Chelsea has gone financially to a point where any further would be wrong as far as the club see it. The person doing the negotiation has so far not gone back.}

24 Jul 2017 20:43:20
Nice one, cheers ed,

24 Jul 2017 22:07:52
Ed seeing as they want matic
Couldnt a deal be struck that included him plus Money
Thanks.

{Ed002's Note - No, I doubt it.}

Candreva actually does sound like buying for the sake of it :-P
I wouldn't expect any further major transfers to come in this summer. A wingback is needed though, and it's a shame Juve won't let Sandro go. Ox wouldn't be bad.

24 Jul 2017 22:34:52
Really don't understand the candreva link. Don't think he's good enough.

24 Jul 2017 22:46:13
In that case Ed, it would seem more likely that he stays at Juventus wouldn't it? Shame really.

26 Jul 2017 12:15:48
Candreva is 30 FGS, he has to come quite cheap to be considered.

24 Jul 2017 17:14:35
Any news on the Alex sandro front?

24 Jul 2017 15:24:19
Official: Benjamin Mendy to man city.
I think we should get Sandro now, I know that CFC already looking to sign Sandro but after Mendy to city we should get deal done for Sandro.

If we fail to sign Sandro I think we should get a decent back up for Alonso, someone like Ryan Bertrand.

24 Jul 2017 15:32:38
I'd worry that Bertrand would come and be bench player again, really like him n wouldn't wanna see that, serge auier ( spelling ) of psg is good option imo, Sandro obviously first choice but mega money. Could go on a winger.

24 Jul 2017 15:52:49
Matt Martin: Aurier is right back. It's LWB position where we do not have cover as Alonso is our only option. Though I would like Aurier at RWB, it's LWB position which is our main priority.

24 Jul 2017 16:23:24
Read The City rumour page. They will also want to sign Ryan's bertrand.

24 Jul 2017 13:46:54
Seems to me that it's all gone quiet on the transfer front and no one really knows who are targets are anymore! Good in one way, but hard for the supporters lol!

24 Jul 2017 14:57:45
hard for the supporters is there something with u or what. wev signed bakayoko morata caballero and rudiger how many do ya expect were not desperate like city at all man relax.

24 Jul 2017 15:03:28
Think you've read it wrong mate. I'm not complaining about who or who we haven't signed. I'm very happy with what we've done. But not knowing who we are targeting is crazy! But great for the club as that's what they want!

So you just chill your bones!

24 Jul 2017 15:06:07
We're short of CM's and wingers and have two strikers and have been after a wing back all window, so yeah it is hard for the fans when they want to get excited about players on way in.

24 Jul 2017 20:37:44
lol message came across wrong we need to patient and don't need to harass the eds when they sign someone wel no no need to be asking who we might want or who may sign just relax enjoy the summer and when we sign someone enjoy it.

24 Jul 2017 13:08:45
Ed I have a question for you.
We all know right now we have Hazard, Pedro and Willian as attacking players. However for squad depth we will give at Least one youngster a chance to stay at our club.
Names rumored for that positions are either Musonda or Boga.
I have seen Boga this time in preseason and he looks really good. However I have not seen Musonda apart from YouTube.

So I want to ask you Ed who you think will be given chance to stay at CFC. And who you think got more talent among these two.

Thank you in advance Ed.

{Ed002's Note - Musonda.}

Thanks Ed for your reply.
