Hey Ed, now that there is supposedly a meeting between chelsea and pastore's agent in london tomorrow. Is there any chance that we could sign pastore in the next 24 hours? Thanks {Ed02's Note - I would not like to speculate, but a deal may be agreed.}

Fingers crossed peeps

if Pastore goes to paris i seriously question chelsea's ambitions this season. Shouldent be impossible to beat paris for Pastore's signature.

Believable1 Unbelievable6

If Pastore turns around and says he wants to play elsewhere and not the PL what can Chelsea do?

Before I post this I want to say that I love Chelsea FC but...

What the f**k is going on??

We are being left behind in this transfer window and putting our faith in the same players who let us (and Ancelloti) down last year

Malouda, Anelka, Kalou, Drogba, Bosingwa, Zhirkov, MIKEL

All of these players are past it or have let us down too often...

AVB Wake up please... Assess all you want but it doesn't take this long to realise that every manager before you has tried and failed to emulate what Mourinho did with this squad and there now 5 years older...

Stop letting great players sign for our rivals, Sell the club and let's play to our strengths and those of our new players

Brute force worked 5 years ago but this times are over

I'm sorry for the rant but I'm really worried about us next season with this squad...

Believable9 Unbelievable8

I agree were taking our time but there are still a few decent players out there for us to go for. Nasri, Pastore, Modric, Di Maria ect ect. I bet we'l have signed atleast one big name by the end of this week.

Still no Aguero announcement and no sign of him all day...
Three hour medical... Problems?
Or a late Robinho revenge movement by Chelsea? Lol
I wish

Must say I'm not entirely sure what's happening this year. Transfer market has gone crazy. A casual bystander would think that there is "bid raising" on transfers and behind the scenes agreements between competing clubs going on. Does this happen Eds? I mean if Club A bid for a player from Club B, can Club B ask Club C to submit a higher, false bid to raise the fee? Thanks. {Ed02's Note - No.}

I think we should get neymar and let him stay to play in world club cup as u think that us the deal maker, also I agree that Peter Kenton would have signed some players and not been dragging his feet, I'd like to see pastor attacking mid and neymar and hulk wide of Torres with lamps and ramires in middle, over ambitious I know

That front 3 will not happen.

Agree0 Disagree0

"That front 3 will not happen."

And even if it did, I really can't see it working.

Agree0 Disagree0

I believe if the "front three" were to happen, drogba would have more success in the middle because of his strength. i would have malouda on the left, and has torres as a sub for drogba

Ed, would you not be furious if Pastore joined PSG? I know they have cash but when was the last time they were a force in Europe; except for more cash what would Pastore gain from leaving Palermo for PSG? He must be Chelsea bound?. {Ed001's Note - why would anyone be furious? What a strange question.}

Believable3 Unbelievable0

Just a guess, but I think that the poster was under the assumption that Ed's 002 or 018 would have answered his question. I may be wrong, but I think that they both support Chelsea. {Ed002's Note - OK then, why would I be furious with a player joining a different club. I am not furious about Aguero joining Manchester City, nor furiouis about Waide Fairhurst joing Macclesfield Town.}

Torres form is linked with the timing of him getting darker hair. Will someone in the Chelsea team please poor a bottle of bleach over his head. Maybe going back blond will have an affect on hiss body and make it remember how to score a goal. Russ

Believable6 Unbelievable5

Torres's form is linked with his former injuries and his style of play. he's not the player he was from a few seasons ago. Bursts of pace will now just see him pull up short and a couple of weeks holiday is not going to change that.

I think one thing ive noticed over the summer is that Chelsea is adamant to lower their wage bill. The Aguero saga illustrates this. During the last financial year Chelsea were £70m in the red. Mind you this is in a year where they purchase no players and let go of 4 big wages. That pretty much says that just based on player wages we as a club were £70m too high for financial fair play. Yes I understand that we would have to cut half the squads wages in order to get close to even however I believe Chelsea are attempting to get in the ballpark. At some point financial fair play will take it's turn and there will be free wealing clubs like City who wont be allowed in the Champions League due to their astronomical debts. Chelsea don't want to be in fear of being in that position. This is why Chelsea have gone out and made signings for the future so they won't have those liabilities down the line. Its gonna be tough but some day all of Romans millions

Well, your theory kind of goes down the drain with the Torres signing/wages.

Torres doesnt look any better than last season , eds n readers how long do u think avb will keep faith in him ?

Believable2 Unbelievable8

You have to admit that unless Yossi and Anelka are partnered with him he gets complete squat for support, right?

Until AVB gets better support for him he has no one but himself (and the board) to blame. As long as he keeps forcing Malouda, Sturridge, and Kalou on him he won't look any better. If anyone had bothered to scout him when he played with Liverpool and Atletico they would know what kind of player he is... if and when we have more creative and less greedy players around him and he continues to struggle, then AVB has a right to lose faith in him. Otherwise...

Agree0 Disagree0

Thats true.unless torres gets surport he will never be the player we saw are lfc, malouda, sturidge, kalou and drogba will never feed him

Agree0 Disagree0

Chelsea should buy James Rodriguez from Porto and thorgan hazard. Also Pastore and ganso and in defence they should buy subotic and de vrij

Believable0 Unbelievable4

But they wont

Agree0 Disagree0

Yeah, and with whatever money is leftover, Roman can buy me a mansion on the Riviera...

Agree0 Disagree0

"But they wont"

Come one... even Man City wouldn't buy all of those players.

"thorgan hazard"

So we're going to leap frog Eden for his little brother now? lol
