Ed002, Is chelsea signing of a central midfieder only dependent on a central midfielder leaving the club. Will Lampard sign a contract extension. Who are chelsea's central midfield targets.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

{Ed002's Note - Try the search engine.}

Hopefully Lampard, Mikel and McEachran are sold. Bring through Chalobah, Van Ginkle.
If anyone wants to pay £25m plus for Ramires then happy days.

Has Alex Song ever been of interest to Chelsea? Pls ED I would liked if u took out a little of your time to give an update on our transfer targets. It would stop repetition of questions about our targets. Thanks a lot

{Ed002's Note - Nothing stops the repetition - maybe early next week.}

when it comes to us, it's no rocket science that we need a striker, apart from that we also a need a left back, a midfield general and another supporting striker.
for all my fellow blues and eds too whom would be like to come?

I'll prefer costa, mandzukic, khedira, shaw

Believable0 Unbelievable0

We have a midfield general in Matic we need a creative playmaker next to him e.g Kroos/Rakitic

Agree0 Disagree0

Agree with Maticthebeast, we don't need a midfield general. I'd also wait to see how MVG performs in pre-season. If Lampard leaves then we'd probs go for a creative CM.

Agree0 Disagree0

I really wished we put oscar alongside matic he's also quite good at tackling etc too. but I doubt that's going to happen.

Agree0 Disagree0

I would want Costa, madzukic/martinez/cavani, shaw/moreno, and for midfield I think we need someone who can also play the ball like pjanic/modric/kroos etc. and if lukaku goes another young striker but I will prefer for lukaku to stay. also the goalkeeper situation needs to be addressed with hilario and schwarzer maybe leaving.

Agree0 Disagree0

I thought if we get somebody like khedira alongside matic that would ease the pressure of our attacking players giving them more freedom in the final third.
If we are really playing with 2 strikers up front as rumours suggest then we need double defensive pivot so that players like willian and oscar can give more emphasis on attacking.
4 PL goals for a talented attacking player like willian is far from good because he needs to play near opposition half and not defend too often.

Agree0 Disagree0

I mentioned a ball playing cm having 4-3-2-1 formation in mind. but if we want to go 4-4-2 then we will need someone like khedira to cover our midfield and also in that case I think we need 2 diff kind of strikers one who can play uptop alone like costa and someone who can just play off him with speed and skill like suarez but they won't sell him to us so maybe falcao but a/2 ed our interest has waned. maybe alexis sanchez he had his best season playing centrally.

Agree0 Disagree0

If Chelsea transfers to 442 CMs will be Matic, Oscar, (Khedira or Vidal) and Barkley.

Agree0 Disagree0

Question for the Chelsea fans:

Will Jose play the likes of Terry, Dave & Cahill this weekend or will he play some youth seems Chelsea cannot win the league now? A Chelsea clean-sheet could cost me £100 in my Dreamteam. I am hoping Jose plays a few kids, but do you have any who could come straight in? Kalas perhaps? Anyone else? Or will Terry and Co all play? Thanks.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Ed002 or Ed018.

Can you see Chelsea finishing 2nd instead of 3rd being a good enough reason for Jose to play his strongest line-ups? Your opinion of course? Thanks.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed002's Note - Why would I care about the line up Syd?}

Maybe we'll see MVG getting a game, and Kalas should get some minutes as well (to me at least). Baker, Ake and even Loftus-Cheek could play as well. I think they're good enough. Mourinho however will go with the regulars in my opinion

Agree0 Disagree0

Jackson, thanks for the reply. I get the feeling Wenger will be wanting to show off some of his youth players seems MU shown off a couple youth players midweek, but because Chelsea can in theory finish 2nd still, I didn't know what the difference was in terms of TV money for finishing 2nd and 3rd. I suspect it's more than £5m. Probably £1m in prize money. A few million in TV money and a bigger share of the pool money next season. So I don't know if Jose will field a strong side as 2nd is still feasible and Chelsea could benefit with more cash? A Chelsea clean-sheet could cost me a good £100. I am hoping to see Jose play a few fringe players and youth players.

Agree0 Disagree0

No problem Sydney, I love speculating about young/youth players.

Agree0 Disagree0

You don't want us to keep a clean sheet then Sydney? I think if JM was going to play any youth players it'd likely be Kalas and MVG.
The difference in revenue is quite minimal certainly regarding prize money. But we'd only receive an extra 5% I think from the CL pool.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed002's Note - van Ginkle won't be playing.}

He not registered ed?

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed002's Note - He has been released for the summer.}

08 May 2014 22:46:37
Please tell me you're are joking about van ginkel being releasedd?!?!?

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed002's Note - See if you can find someone who can read it to you slowly Billy.}

Now I know why u get stressed ed002! Lol
Van Ginkel has joint up with the Dutch notional side to train with them.

Agree0 Disagree0

Aha not released from his contract but simply from squad duties. As Wheely said to train with the Dutch national team.

Agree0 Disagree0

I think kalas will start and maybe ake rest I don't think they will start but maybe one or two of them will be on the bench

Agree0 Disagree0
