Hi Ed, sorry if I missed it but have we ended our interest in Laporte?

{Ed002's Note - Matt, I am not sure what interest you are speaking of.}

09 Jan 2016 07:17:45
I assume Aymeric Laporte. From what I've seen on other sites ed002 hasn't indicated that we have any interest but expects that City might bid for him in the summer.

Agree0 Disagree0

Can Bamford play vs Scunthorpe on Sunday? I assume there're no registration issues.

I believe so. On the one hand I'd like to see youngsters given a run out but on the other hand I think our starting 11 need to still work on stuff so would like to see them starting.

Wouldn't mind seeing a team like:
Begovic
Azpi Zouma Cahill/ Terry Baba
Mikel/ Matic/ Ramires RLC
Kenedy Hazard Traore
Costa.

Fuser, as that's 13 players we should win!

He can play but we wouldn't be able to loan him out as you can't play for three clubs in the same season.

Agree0 Disagree0

Mrs Costa the / 's indicate an either or option, as in either Cahill or Terry and one of Matic, Mikel and Ramires. Not all of them.

Agree0 Disagree0

Hi Ed,

Any news on chelsea chasing Xavi Simons? I see his name being linked with us every few windows but is there any truth?

Also would we be allowed to sign him within the fifa rules of signing a player under 16?

Thanks.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

{Ed002's Note - Never heard of him.}

08 Jan 2016 10:36:42
Every few Windows and he's under 16 haha!

Agree0 Disagree0

Any must be super.

Agree0 Disagree0

08 Jan 2016 14:59:06
Every few windows? You do know he is 12 years old I presume?

Agree0 Disagree0

Ed002, can I ask whatever happened to the young LB and midfielder we had part ownership of- I think their names were Pernao and Ronan?
Thanks.

Believable0 Unbelievable1

{Ed002's Note -Pernao is with Tombense in the second or third division. Ronan is with Porto.}

08 Jan 2016 09:24:40
Interesting, thanks. Do you think if Ronan proved successful at Porto we might look at him again or is he probably one that maybe got away?

Agree0 Disagree1

{Ed002's Note - No, gone.}

Hi Ed002,

These questions are related to the fact you described the prospects of Chelsea pursuing John Stones in this transfer window as slim and pricey.

Are Chelsea prepared to meet the valuation or package that would need to met in order to acquire him this month?

As you said, paying a lot could force the issue, are Chelsea willing to pay an amount which could force the issue this month?

Is this a case where Chelsea must make their move for the player now, as opposed to waiting for the summer, where the competition could be considerably stronger and decreasing Chelsea's chances of to purchasing him?

As always, your time is much appreciated.

Thanks in advance Ed002.

{Ed002's Note - What valuation would that be?}

08 Jan 2016 07:01:03
Why is everyone drooling over Stones. Overrated as far as I'm concerned like every other British player out there. And opus way over priced, come to think of it, just like every other British player out there.

I apologise for my lack of transparency Ed002, all I was asking, if you do not mind, was are Chelsea planning on a making an effort to acquire John Stones this month and would they be willing to force the issue, in order to make the move happen this month?

I am completely unaware of any information such as valuations or anything else on this situation and was just wondering whether you could shed any light on it, if it is ok.

Thanks in advance Ed002.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed002's Note - Barcelona, Manchester City, Arsenal and Chelsea all took a look at Everton's John Stones in the summer of 2014 but none made an offer. Chelsea made an attempt to sign him in the summer of 2015 but then moved on to another target. I very much suspect Manchester United (who showed interest some time back) will look again to Stones, and a January bid is not out of the question. Again, Chelsea might well look to another offer in January or the summer abd Everton know that Real Madrid have attended acouple of games and are working around a major potential issue that may make them bite. Everton will resist any move, but as ever, paying over the odds could force the matter – as it could force a bid from elsewhere.}
