Ed, how come we never made a move for Ozil? I've always wondered why we never attempted to sign him.

Is kaka coming {Ed002's Note - I doubt it.}

Betting has been suspended on Chelseas managerial appointment in Swindon (according to my fanatical Dad) is there ANY new information? Would this point to Didier Dechamps? (hope not)

Whoever is the nxt manager it will only be till pep have seen out his 1 year remaining contract with barca {hiddink/redknapp till england job comes around}

Chelsea must act fast. Anelka is leaving, Drogba and Lampard will end their careers in year or two. Chelsea needs CM ST RW if Bosingwa is off than RB as well.

ED002 have u read Wagner Ribiero's article on Talksport "All this speculation about the Englishmen is absurd. If Santos has already rejected an offer of £35million in August, why would they consider Chelsea offering £25million now?

"Now Santos can only think of selling if someone pays £40million as that is the price stated in his contract."

Why would he say this if he has already held talks is this an old story, or is he just playing a game? {Ed002's Note - I have not read it - and I told you to completely ignore anything about the money. Clearly my summary of the situation is unacceptable and preference is for Twitter - which in my view is saying the same things. There is no point at all in me commenting.}

This was not on twitter though it was on Talksport and he is his agent, I know he can't say yes the player will move and he stated £40 million would be enough so it looks like he will cost around that £40 million mark.

People seem to be loosing it abit. The club aren't going to totaly overhaul the squad, its completly impractical. This tactic in last seasons window left us short during periods of last year and it's also unlikely they are going to get the money they would want for some of these players (Like Malouda). I think if they can sort out the manager situation, i.e get Gus back in and bring in a few younger players over the course of the summer (not for extortionate amounts of money being asked for by the clubs and representatives of players such Pastore and Aguero, although I imagine Neymar will be on a pretty tidy salary), and move one or two players on we will have done well. It looks likely that the players coming in will be Neymar, Van De Wiel and Willian. The players they need to be looking to move on are Bosingwa and Drogba as well as some of the youngsters (Cork, Machienne). I have a lot of time for Didier after taking to him VERY slowly at first. He has led the line well for Chelsea over the last few seasons, and the system we play is based around his abilities. But that is now becoming a problem, and I don't see that changing while he is either sat raging on the bench, or keeping his replacement out of the team. It's Torres time now at chelsea, like it or not, lets just hope the blues have a good pre-season and bring in a manager and a player or two that may be able to get El Nino and the rest of the frontline scoring again. Cannot wait for it though, whether it be Scunthorpe or Barcelona, COME ON YOU BLUES! !

I would rather keep drogba and get rid of torres, i don't think he will ever come good, had it been for a few weeks i would say he just getting back to fitness, but hes been crap for nearly 2 seasons now, somethings not right with him,

I hope that with the correct signings we can actually get a ball to Torres. We did not play to his strengths last season, the guy is quality.
