hey ed, any chance of a cheeky 40 mil bid for cesc fabregas? Abramovich is a huge admirer and he's easily twice the player of modric. Fabregas may also be open to the idea like torres was, since chelsea have actual ambitions unlike arsenal. Safe. {Ed004's Note - He wants to go to Barcelona, I do not think Chelsea atm have a chance in signing him}

ED002 OR ED018

Lakaku has not been presented as a chelsea player yet is this because Chelsea want to present more then 1 player at the press conference ? {Ed018's Note - maybe they are waiting for Romeu to join the team to present both. i don't really know}

Believable6 Unbelievable2

I read on sky sports that lukaku said there's goin to be a delay

Ed do you think that AVB does not rate Benayoun? From the pre season it seems like he is reluctant to play him. And now there are all these rumours about him being used as a makeweight for Modric and now this about him being sold to Newcastle. I don't think Benitez really rated him nor did Carlo but I think he is a definite game changer... Do you really think we could let him go? {Ed002's Note - The club would be happy to see him move on.}

Talk sport say that Chelsea are strong favourites to land Alvaro pereira is this true and what position does he play. Thanks {Ed018's Note - he plays a left wing back, and i have no idea why we would sign him. its the one position we are set at}

Believable1 Unbelievable0

HE is really not what we need at Chelsea we need blistering pace and attacking wing play with dribbling ability, not a attacking wing back when we have the left side of defence set up for the next 6 - 8 years. SIGN A WORLD CLASS WINGER PLEASE

Agree0 Disagree0

Ed I had a question about Neymar,is it possible that he still might end up at Chelsea despite rumours of him going elsewhere?and does the original offer remain on the table to him?.I appreciate this is a complicated matter.thanks. {Ed018's Note - i highly doubt he will end up at Chelsea but with how often he seemingly changes his mind i'm not even sure he knows were he will go. but i dont expect him to move until january or possible next summer}

Believable0 Unbelievable0

If Real Madrid get Tevez which is a big IF and if Barcelona sign Fabregas i cant see them being able to afford the purchase of Neymar this Winter (January due to club championship that he wants to play in) and the likelyness of him going to anzhi is very doubtful this leaves Chelsea a front runner if we meet his release clause which is looking like to be around £47.5m now. That is a big if and then being able to put a package together for him to want to come to London. We are not the favourites to sign him but due to our financial situation and the amount of Brazilian talent we have in our squad were a very viable option in my opinion.

Hi Eds, do you know why Lukaku's move is being delayed? Is there some contractual issue or is it just for personal reasons? Can you shed any light on this? Thanks {Ed018's Note - there is nothing to worry about, the deal will be done}

Believable0 Unbelievable0

ED,
Chelsea are about to do a big mistake by offering Benayun for Modric.
We have unwanted number of Strikers with:

1. Nicolas Anelka & 2. Saloman Kalou (at least).

With Drogba, Sturrige, Torres and now Lukaku in that position, we're still looking for a striker (Pato).
We don't have even good first team choice in Attacking Mid and a Good Winger.
And now, we're thinking of letting one good option for an attacking mid-fielder who can even play as a winger if required.
The transfer window is getting closer to deadline and here we are at this condition.
The club is continuously on verge of doing wrong moves and we blues fans sometimes think, what mistake had we done (just being a die heart-fan) ??

Edds our number 2 went to the Germany brazil game I take it he was watching a certain player more than just a random game my gut tells me it's not neymar I could be wrong have any idea who it could /might be I think all will become clear in 7-10 days

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Personally I hope its Gotze, fantastic player who would probably represent great value for money {Ed002's Note - He was there to look at Neymar. Obviously it provides the opportunity to look at other players as well.}

Isreal playemaker, Yossi Benayoun has started talks with Newcastle United. The fee is estimated to be 5-10 million, depending on sales in Newcastle. From a relient source within the club.

Believable2 Unbelievable4

I hope it's only a rumour and there's no truth in it. I think if it is just a rumour, it may have came from our apparent interest in Tiote.. people looking for a replacement if a deal was to happen?

Agree0 Disagree0

11 Aug 2011 12:14:55
Ed,

Heard from Gazzetta dello Sport that Chelsea are interested in Inter Milan's Goran Pandev.

Have you heard of anything about this through your sources? Any idea where this came from? Players agent I assume...
Thanks {Ed002's Note - There is no interest from Chelsea that I know of. Schalke, Napoli and PSG have declared an interest though.}

Believable1 Unbelievable3

Chelsea should go all out to sign Eden Hazard and Thiago Alacantara and then will have a real core for the future as well as a excellent team for the now.

Believable8 Unbelievable2

Forget modric...Think josh is more than capable of filling that gap, fair enough he is young but he looks like he can have the potetial to become a world beater. look no further than jack wilshere for evidence of what a young player with potential can do for your team

Believable4 Unbelievable2

Yes, but that's Jack Wilshire and this is Josh McEachran and what was achieved was 4th, 12 points off the pace and beaten in the League Cup Final - would anyone here settle for that? Would Roman?

Don't get me wrong, JW is a fine player with a big future, as is JE. However, JE has admitted to being about a year behind JW in terms of development and, although he will play more this term, he needs to be integrated sensibly.

If Modric does not sign, the more realistic cover is Benayon, with Lampard sometimes playing a little further forward or JE taking the role from time to time. That's not bad, although I think it is worth pressing for Modric. People say he's not worth "X". The reality is that no-one's worth the money being thrown around, but the value of a player is determined by what someone is willing to pay and what someone else is willing to accept. Despite what was in the guardian this morning, worth cannot be calculated by OPTA stats alone.

Ed have you heard if any firm interest in Pato or is it all just speculation? Thanks {Ed002's Note - Milan are willing to sell Pato to free up a Non-EU quota spot, but I understand that they want to persuade more than one club to bid for the player to push up the price. I think Chelsea could be interested depending what happens with other players they are targeting but the push is from Milan and not from Chelsea. There were concerns expressed about his fitness, and there has been a dip in form. Chelsea may be more interested in a package that includes a player going in the opposite direction than a straight cash deal. But the priority is still elsewhere.}

Believable2 Unbelievable1

Quota issues? Or Silvio wants to keep Alexandre away from Barbara?

Sydney ;)

Agree0 Disagree0

Thanks ed. Would love to see him cutting un from the left next season :)

Agree0 Disagree0

I think you will be disappointed. Pato is a right sided player

So who are the prioroties neymar,johnson,dimaria,hazard

josh machecran on loan to rangers

Believable5 Unbelievable17

No offence but what would josh learn from playing in the SPL? in reality the teams are no better than league 1 apart from rangers celtic and hearts...id compare them to average championship teams....he would learn a whole lot more staying and training in the chelsea 1st team or going on loan to another EPL team....id prefer to see him stay myself....jack

Agree0 Disagree0

RANGERS AND CELTIC ARE ONLY AVERAGE IN SPL BECAUSE EPL CLUBS KNOW IF THEY ALLOWED THEM INTO EPL WE WOULD GET SAME MONEY THEY GOT AND BOTH WOULD THEN CHALLENGE FOR EPL CROWN ,BECAUSE BOTH TEAMS WOULD ATTRACT THE BEST PLAYERS AVALLABLE WITH THE MILLIONS EVERY ONE ELSE GETS MY FRIEND.

Agree0 Disagree0

Most years celtic and rangers have fairly good runs in champs l/europa the money they generate in them comps alone in more than most mid table teams get, not to mention tv rights money from sky for there live SPL matechs..... reason a lot of players want to play for celtic/rangers in for a chance to play in the champs league wen in reality they wouldnt be anywere near the level to get into a EPL champs league team ie man u chelsea arsenal ect.....if you put celtic/rangers in the premiership with the teams they have now then for sure they would be relegated, you only have to look at the caliber of players there buying face it there average teams in a less than average league.....jack

Samuel Eto has agreed personal terms with anzhi worth a staggering 300k a week in wages and a potential transfer fee in the region of £32m bbc and the daily mirror are reporting. Im hoping this nullifies there Ganso interest and will allow us to persue the player along with neymar. {Ed018's Note - neither Ganso or Neymar were ever going to go to Anzhi.}
