Hi ED002. There's been increasing media coverage of the club's likelihood of breaking PSR rules for 23/ 24. I know you have mentioned there are no FFP problems previously, which was reassuring to hear. Do you still anticipate that the club will comply and to what extent will PSR regulations have on the likely transfer activity this summer?

{Ed002's Note - Chelsea will raise the money they need by June 30 - and largely it is already done.}

Really good to hear. Thanks Ed.

Hi Ed, glad to hear the club has more or less raised the necessary cash to appease the PSR. Thankyou very much for this information .
My question is has this money been gained through pre agreements of transfers out of the club or has it been achieved through new sponsorship deals . Be very interesting to know if the club are being forced into this so called “fire sale” of playing staff as some media outlets and certain members of this group would have us all believe or if the club had the situation all under control this whole time. Thankyou for any info in advance.

{Ed002's Note - There is no "fire sale" but players will be moving on.}

Had a week of out patient treatment but now got a whole weekend to recover before it starts again.

Desperately need cheering up, so I'm hoping for a big win on Saturday.

COME on MY MIGHTY BLUES.

Only back for the Easter Weekend Bill. The treatment is going well enough thanks mate.

I said when we got caceido we didn't need to spend £60m on lavia, it's been a horrible transfer for reasons out of control of the player, potentially a brilliant player still and hopefully next season he is fresh and injury free and the transfer turns out to be a success,

A concern in general, lavia was oringially out for a while, came back, got injured v palace, has been training and a set back, then nkunku. Comes back after lay off, set back, ugochuckwu was only for couple weeks, turned into 6 and it's been 12 weeks, why so many set backs once players get back involved in training, is poch running them into the ground with his training which have been mentioned previously?

Agree0 0Disagree

28 Mar 2024 11:08:57
Many of the signings have been disasters to be honest but you do have to feel for lavia. No idea what's going on but 60m is a massive fee and being able to play for about 20 minutes for the club has been appalling.

The club sold Jorginho, Mount and Kovacic. Kante also left along with a loaned player.

Of course we needn’t have replaced any of them but I’m sure some fans would have had the hump with playing youth team players or maybe defenders in midfield.

The club buys and sells players most seasons, this is not a new owner thing.

We can all have different views on what signings are a “disaster. ” A bit like Werner, Ziyech or Lukaku but no owner sets out to sign players who don’t work out at a club. Players that don’t work out happens at every club.

Lavia is a top class player and in my opinion will prove to be good value in the seasons to come.

The club had no idea he was going to get injured and play virtually no part in our season. To criticise the club for this signing is totally and utterly ridiculous.

Agree0 0Disagree

28 Mar 2024 13:25:58
They had the fact he suffered with a hamstring injury which sidelined him for 55 days to consider.
Also Nkunku was out for half the season with injuries before he joined the club.
The scale of injuries we have experienced has gone well beyond bad luck now.
It's likely a mixture issues including, fitness levels when they join, treatment of the injuries and training methodologies.

Agree0 0Disagree

28 Mar 2024 14:27:23
I’m happy to say I’m not an expert in medical examinations pre signing or during the season.

I would suggest that for some reason a lot of clubs this season have suffered with significant increases in in player injuries.

I have my own uneducated theory on the high amount of injuries in the premiership.

Agree0 0Disagree

28 Mar 2024 16:16:19
For me the only signing this season that could be described as a "disaster" would be Tonali at Newcastle. and I still wouldn't use such a word. The lad needs help.

What positions are we looking to recruit in the summer?

{Ed002's Note - G, CB (perhaps x2), LB, AM/W, S.}

Agree0 0Disagree

28 Mar 2024 09:39:24
Thankyou ED, much appreciated.

Agree0 0Disagree

28 Mar 2024 11:47:05
Ed002, 2 cbs? Assuming silva and chalobah go still have 4 cbs in colwill, badiashile, disasi, fofana unless one of them might be leaving? And gk meaning sanchez might go? Also was hoping we wouod get onana or palhinha as need some height and physicality in midfield.

{Ed002's Note - Alright then no CBs and the club will be buying midfield players they have no interest in.}

Agree0 0Disagree

28 Mar 2024 13:21:11
I think we need the two CB's ED mentioned, we still do mot know how Fofana will fare with injuries next season, no more midfielders are needed.

Agree0 0Disagree

28 Mar 2024 14:36:31
Sorry ed, didn't mean to annoy you, i agree we need a cb, just was wondering if another might be potentially leaving with maybe 2 coming in and fofanas injury worries are an issue. Or maybe if Poch does go and we get a manger that plays 3 at the back like Amorim maybe that's why we may look st bringing 2 cbs in.

{Ed002's Note - You are simply making up weird scenarios.}

Agree0 0Disagree

28 Mar 2024 07:51:40
Do any of the Ed's no much about the young striker Ibrahim Hafiz Umar

Thanks.

{Ed002's Note - No. He is just a young Nigerian on trial.}

Agree0 0Disagree

Noni with 2 goals and 2 assists last night to add to his goal in the previous game, another gem signed by the recruitment team who will only get better. He plays with confidence and is direct, I think he has a big future.

Agree0 0Disagree

28 Mar 2024 01:41:37
And against a very good Luxembourg u21,

Agree0 0Disagree

28 Mar 2024 15:32:59
I’m not convinced about Noni but surely we can be happy for the lad and support him on his quest to become a Chelsea legend.

Hi guys, highly considering leaving Australia early next year to return home to England, was just wondering where some good locations are in England to live? I have family in the west London area but rent in London is just as high as Australia.

Been looking at Suffolk Area, Norwich and Southampton but open to recommendations. Looking to do some work there also.

Cheers lads. Much appreciated.

25 Mar 2024 10:18:32
Anywwre but north kent medway gravesend its a complete dump.

Agree0 0Disagree

25 Mar 2024 10:30:03
Standard I don’t know Suffolk or Southampton but in Norfolk maybe look at North Walsham about 15 miles from Norwich and has a station to get you there. Nearer to London; Watford, Bushey or further east Woodford- just a few suggestions off the top of my head.

Agree0 0Disagree

27 Mar 2024 05:56:08
Depends on type of work you do as well.

Agree0 0Disagree

28 Mar 2024 13:22:32
Move to Reading or Grinstead. Easy commute to West London and lots of good quality jobs locally.

Hi eds, not transfer related, but do you no if we have a shirt sponsor for next season or are the club still looking at options.

Also I really like the new england kit, when nike get it right it looks good.

{Ed002's Note - Chelsea has an agreement in place for next season.}

Agree0 0Disagree

24 Mar 2024 11:02:46
Is that with the current shirt sponsor ED?

{Ed002's Note - No.}

Agree0 0Disagree

24 Mar 2024 14:41:14
Thank you ED, much appreciated.

Agree0 0Disagree

24 Mar 2024 17:31:24
Thank you ED.

Agree0 0Disagree

25 Mar 2024 10:19:21
Can i ask who it is ed.

{Ed002's Note - It is not worth getting in to as talks are continuing with another organisation other sponsorship and there may be horse trading going on related to training kits and the wonmens kit.}

Agree0 0Disagree

25 Mar 2024 19:18:24
Ok thanks anyway.

Agree0 0Disagree

28 Mar 2024 13:26:19
Maybe sponsor and stadium naming rights. All will revealed shortly.

I can just see it being called the BOA stadium!

Reminded during the England game something I've been thinking about in the last couple of months - Gallagher's diving is really irritating.

Agree0 0Disagree

People no I don’t like him I’m but he did look like a
Fish out of water tonight but Bellingham first time I have followed him totally impressed.

Agree0 0Disagree

24 Mar 2024 09:10:53
What did Bellingham do to impress you Nibb.

We were playing a Brazil team depleted of confidence and quite a few first teamers out injured, far more than England who can't seem to do anything without Duperman, Kane.

Agree0 0Disagree

24 Mar 2024 14:22:46
Bellingham was the best of a bad bunch. It demonstrates that England’s back-ups aren’t good enough at this level.

Agree0 0Disagree

27 Mar 2024 08:23:55
Conor is a grafter, works hard, presses and chips in with 4 or 5 goals a season. I liked that Kobbie lad last night for England, same position as Conor as well.
