Ed, Can you clear up some confusion for me?
Chelsea have lodged a 19 man squad with 4 home grown players.
Does that mean that we can only select from these in PL and FA Cup games or can we also select the vast under 19 players that we have? {editor's note - players under the age of 21 don't have to be named in the squad. Any player at the club, under the age of 21, may still play in the Premier League. That is why City didn't name Balotelli in their 25 man squad.}

All the money in the world and you still can't win the league without losing a game, unlike the MOST succesfull team in london did, it will take you lot 50 years to get any where near the trophys we have won you loser. Cheers easy watch our boys do you this season no problems. in arsene we trust.

Yeah, and Arse will score over 100 this season, right? Most attractive team my a*s. . Most impotent team is correct.

"How do you feel playing second fiddle to the riches of city? your time has come where you will slowly dwindle down the league and here is why. Roman WILL GO! he won't like playing second fiddle to the sheikhs of city so, see ya, off he trots to invest else where, strong rumour linking him with buying a club back over here in his homeland, spartak and zenit to name a few. Your players are all old and will be past it soon and Roman knows this and because you have jack shyte youth he would ave to spend massively to get you anywhere near the standard you are at now. Just think about it, replacing players like Drogba 40-60mil Lampard 40-60 mil Terry 20-30 mil Anelka 20-30 mil Essien 40-60 mil Cech 20-30 mil Cole 20-30mil if you take the higher figure that's a grand total of £300 million. Do you honestly see Roman doing that in the next few years ?. . . I don't, not in a million years. 300 million to replace 6 to 7 players within the next 3 years? never he will jump ship, sell up, and go elsewhere. And where does that leave you guys? who knows. i will grant you that you have been far superiour compared to Arsenal over the last 5 years but at least we can see where we are going. We are without a doubt one of the best run clubs in the country not many would argue but with you guys it must be horrible never quite knowing what lies in store for your side in the near future. Good luck for the season. I don't hate you guys nor envy you, i just don't like seeing football turn into a money game. It is fast being spoilt by rich with no respect, love, or passion towards the game we all love."

This was the biggest load of rubbish I have read in my life. First of all Chelsea does have a good youth team coming through, that is evident as Chelsea won the FA Youth Cup last season. We have brilliant youngsters coming through with the likes of Bruma, van Aanholt, Kakuta, Sturridge and Borini. With Bruma replacing Terry, van Aanholt replacing Cole, Kakuta replacing Malouda, Strurridge replacing Drogba; we will be fine. And we are adding a few youngsters to the team each year with Ramires coming in this year we are gradually making the team younger. So this destroys your insane theory that Abrahmovic will sell up soon. And also can you tell me how Chelsea is not run well. We have no debt and we are not using money to win trophies. obviously we had to spend in the beginning because players don't join your club by sending them a christmas card. But, over the last 2 years we have had more money come in from transfers than money going out so we don't use money to win trophies anymore. Also, before Abrahmovic bought Chelsea, we were still getting into the top 4, unlike Man City who couldn't get into the top 6. So thank you for your word of warning but I don't think we're going to need it. Have another fun trophyless season.

Ed i heard something about a press conf tonight or tommorow could there still be a chance that the paper work got through but the clubs are still negotiating but only through fax and player will come to london tonight or tommorow or is that impossible ?

{editor's note: stranger things have happened ie the Arshavin deal}

Bosingwa was out all last year essien was out most the season too kakuta will get a push this year our second x1 is good our squad is better then man utds liverpools and arsenals man city's is strong they won't contend for the title though

{editor's note - Taylor is not good enough for Chelsea, he barely makes the Newcastle side. The 8 will probably be: Lampard, Cole, Turnbull, Sturridge, Terry, van Aanholt, Kakuta and Kalas or di Santo.}

Van Aanholt and Kakuta are U21 and they can play without being registered. Di Santo is not homegrown and he is going out anyway. Chelsea won't have 25 man senior squad, around 20 senior players i think - 15 foreign and 5 homegrown. Others will be U21 youngsters: PvA, Bruma, Borini, Kakuta, McEachran. Thats why Chelsea will lose EPL title, very tiny squad.

{Editor's Note: I expect Di Santo to leave tomorrow as I have said before but I am still expecting one more to come in. However, you are right that Chelsea will not use their full allocation. However keep in mind that they had a small squad last year and even though some have left Essien and Bosingwa are back from injury and there is no African Cup of Nations to deal with. You may be writing them off a little too early.}

Chelsea had small squad last season? Really?
OUT
1. Carvalho
2. Beletti
3. Deco
4. Ballack
5. Joe Cole
6. Hutchinson retired
7. Matic on loan
IN
1. Benayoun
2. Ramires

So if last seasons squad was tiny, how is this seasons Chelsea squad? Are Chelsea youngsters really that good? Of course they arent. So Chelsea managment must pray for injury free season.
And with Terry, Lampard, Ivanovic already in physio room, Bosingwa one day on the pitch one day in physio room, it doesn't look like injury free season for Chelsea.

Is that guy for real chelsea still have a pretty strong second xi they have quality players in injuries occur

 

 

 

 

30 Aug 2010 16:09:58

Chelsea lose the pl title i doubt it not as though man utd or arsenal have bought big or liverpool so chesea don't need to buy big players as they had the best squad last year and the same this year essien and bosingwa are liek new signings

Editor if chelsea don't sign neymar before this transfer wondow will they still pursue him ? {editor's note - I think they will because it will put a stop to the allegations of tapping up.}

Who are the 8 english chelsea players chelsea are guna include int he 25 man squad editor?

and what do you think on chelsea signign stevn taylor for a cheap price of 4-5 mil ? {editor's note - Taylor is not good enough for Chelsea, he barely makes the Newcastle side. The 8 will probably be: Lampard, Cole, Turnbull, Sturridge, Terry, van Aanholt, Kakuta and Kalas or di Santo.}

 

 

 

 

29 Aug 2010 22:27:50
Are they from the club ?
{Editor's note - I can not say ...}

 

 

 

 

28 Aug 2010 13:19:50
Chelsea fans should not worry about who is going to join the club. The important thing is who will improve the team. There are only a handfull of players in the world that would improve the team, but there are a number of players that may help the squad.
I'm quite happy with what we have, but looking at buying young world class players & loaning back to there clubs for a year, is a good option. This would include the likes of Lukaku, Neymer etc. .
We have a lead in the premier already & with the games coming up in the next few week's, this is likely to grow wider on certain teams.

If the lakaku story's true why isn't it n skysports or the chelsea website ?

Chelseas appartment is being re decorated, someone is going to move in soon? still no news who?but an interoir designer has started toput ideas on the table, and these have to be passed by new occupent, so some ones agreeing to have the work done to a specific style.

{Editor's Note: Keep us up to date with the decoration. If it is blue below the dado rail and red & white stripes above, I am going to guess that it is Aguero moving in.}

With mancienne joining wolves on loan for one year i'd expect ancelotti to sign one more defender.i also think he will try to bring in 1 more midfielder befre the end

All this kaka, ramos, robben, van der vaart talk is simply unbelivable financially and logically. So can someone say some PRECISE rumours that we at least might expect? burdisso, won't happen neither will demichelis but maybe david luiz ?

{Editor's Note: With Mancienne seemingly en route back to Wolves on loan it seems that cover may be necessary - but with Bruma looking good it may well wait to January. Critical to the centre back role is the fitness and availability of Bosingwa. If he is not fit/available it means Ivanovich will need to fill in at right back leaving us very thin at centre back and Essien needing to provide cover I would guess. I am expecting still two players in at Chelsea - and two out (Mancienne and Di Santo).}

We pulled out on buying David Luiz a few days ago and this is how you spell Ivanovic {editor's note - actually, there is no correct spelling in English. That is how it was chosen to spell it on his shirt, but it is purely a phonetic spelling as we don't have the necessary letters to spell his name.}

{Editor's Note: Chu-Young has been at Monaco and they did nothing to exploit him. Chelsea as a club do not look at players in the manner you suggest. As for Kalou, he was taken in by Mourinho as work in progress and thrown in to the first team right away due to injuries. He has little or no understanding of when to release the ball or integrate himself in to the team. I rather hoped Arsenal would take him. If Park Chu-Young moves to Chelsea he will be a great sucess. I am very surprised Liverpool are not all over him.}


Monaco isn't a club with ambition to be a big global player like Chelsea is. I doubt that Monacos pre season every second year is in Asia like Chelseas. Since CL final lost to Mournhos Porto they are not big players even in France. On the other hand, when Chelsea go to Asia next pre season, I bet they would love to have some Asian player on their plane. I am not saying anything about Parks quality, i said that Chelsea player cannont be some muppet, that guy must have some quality in his football.
But the fact that he is Korean and Asian will have a big influence in Chelsea decision on him.

Kalou is sloppy, not the most skilfull, not the fastest. . he is average. But he plays his part in Chelsea games, was ahead of Joe Cole in Ancelottis plans at the end of last season. Kalou tactically fits well in Ancelottis systems, i doubt that me or you or whoever knows Kalous job in Ancelottis systems better then Ancelotti. Yuri Zhirkov, labeld as Russian Ronaldinho, cannot fit into Ancelottis tactics. Is he worse than Kalou? Probably no. But Kalou plays more than him. Simply Salomon fits very well in Ancelottis tactics. Came from bench on Saturday, scored twice. Terrible opposite defence, but he still scored twice in Premier League game, as a sub. I don't know how he does that too, but he is doing it.

I don't if Park Chu-Young will be a big success in Chelsea, that's your opinion. But his fight will be with Kalou and Sturridge first, then, maybe, maybe he will break into Chelsea first team.

To the guy who said this

If we include the sales of Carvalho, Sinclair and Stoch. We then have £60.5 million to spend

I'm not including the sales but good point

{Editor's Note: Chelsea would not buy a player just to promote themselves in Asia. Park Chu-Young is an excellent player that would fit well in the Premier League - be it with Chelsea or any other club that may be interested. I know that Liverpool did enquire about the player a few weeks ago but I heard nothing more of it.}
Thats why i said "mostly". It is clear that you don't buy a player just for marketing, when you buy someone, you look at the whole product, lets say that way. At least if you are a serious club, and i think that Chelsea is a serious club.
In this case, first thing about Korean guy is that he can help Chelsea to promote themself in Asia, or more specific, in Korea, where ManU with Park are, lets say, untouched. And Samsung is there too, i think?
Then we can talk about his influence on the pitch. And i don't think he can do more than Kalou. Just a decent backup.

{Editor's Note: Korea is a tiny part of Asia and are you now suggesting that the player is bought because the sponsor is Korean based? I would take Park Chu-Young over Kalou any day of the week.}

Well ed, first of all, the player isn't bought, it is just the suns rumour article. Korea is a tiny part of Asia but Korea is an interesting market and Asia itself is realy big actualy.
I don't know how to explain this to you. Player cannot be bought just because od sponsor, just because of his talent, just because of his strength. . . when you are buying someone you are exploring every single possible influence the player can bring to the club. For example, english players are way overrated because of that ridiculous "homegrown" rule, and being english is a one quality plus these days!
Park Chu-Youngs biggest quality in Chelseas mind is his potential marketing influence for the club in Asia and Korea. Of course that he has some football quality to play for club like Chelsea, otherwise Chelsea would take one chinese, one japanese and one korean guy to play for the club if promotion in Asia issue is the only one that maters!
You would take him over Kalou any day, I, for ex, would not. People were saying that Chelsea are mad to swap joe cole for benayoun with Liverpool, but Chelsea didn't think the same. Just because when you choose a player, there are many, many things that are making the choise. Kalou is Chelsea player for some 5 years, isn't some pele or maradona, but is a decent back up choise who doesn't complain about sitting on the bench. Yossi the same. Joe Cole wanted first team player status which he didn't deserve. And Park has to settle with the same status as Kalou and Yossi. If he is to become a Chelsea player of course.

{Editor's Note: Chu-Young has been at Monaco and they did nothing to exploit him. Chelsea as a club do not look at players in the manner you suggest.

But this apartment was bought when for buiness use, or short term player accomadation, but Deco liked it so much he stayed, now it gets used by whoever comes in and wants to live in london, its a 30 minute drive to cobham, when the player drives in to cobham, most of the traffick is going the other way, in to london, Deco did not want to buy or rent in surrey, this apartment is owned by Chelsea fc, and is in the perfect location to help settle new players, its easier to get a translater to work with a player, in there own living enviroument, and easier to find translators in the capital.

 

 

 

 

25 Aug 2010 08:39:43

I said on monday the blues had been working to get a big name player, Joe Coles house is not needed, Chelsea have a penthouse in centrel london, was Decos old apartment, if Chu-Young Park, agrees terms he gets the penthouse to live in as part of deal.

{Editor's Note: Chelsea require the Chelsea players to be based close to the training ground at Cobham - this started in Mourinho's time and still continues. Whilst a few also have places in London, they are all based in Surrey.}

Chelsea to loan 2 players to newcastle united, daniel sturridge and di santo both mentioned

{Editor's Note: That would put Newcastle in breach of EPL loan rules.}

If the rumours about sergio ramos a true and in the end chelsea can pull off the signing well that would be great but that kind of money and wages should be put on a quality striker to bloster our ageing attack. Perhaps Pato or the other Sergio who plays for Real's cross town rivals.
