Ed is interest still maintained in illic and if it is is a move this month possible or is the summer more likely as Palermo, like most Italian clubs, are hard to deal with? Appreciated Ed {Ed002's Note - I don't see a move this month.}

Ed just wondering : are you a Chelsea fan ?? And if you are, we're you pleased with the result and performance today ?? Cheers and keep up the good work {Ed002's Note - A supporter sure. I did not see the game. Most important for me is the clean sheet for my Fantasy Football team.}

hey ed, so by the start or the 12/13 season what are the chances of hulk being a chelsea player out of 10 what would you give it?

cheers {Ed002's Note - Hulk, I have no idea. The summer is a long way off.}

Believable1 Unbelievable0

But as it is now out of `10 ed ey, come on spice it up a little live life on the edge and chuck up me up an answer? lol {Ed002's Note - We are not going to be rating transfers this season in that way, sorry.}

Agree1 Disagree0

Ok but if there was a percentage out of 100 what would it be?

In a perfect world post transfer season

Cech
Azpillicueta Cahill Terry Cole
Essien Ramires
Moutinho/Ozil/Lampard
Hazard/Hulk Mata
Torres

I truly believe Torres is the man for Chelsea, he looks sharp and has been so unlucky and is still linking everyone up and creating chances, he is just lacking the confidence to be lethal in front of goal, he just needs a couple of goals and a good run for a few weeks and he could be back to the world beater we know he is after all, every other part of his game is falling in to place. Essien is coming back to fitness. AVB cant hide for long that Lamps is scoring so he will have to start him. Cahill is a brilliant signing and will be England's captain in years to come and him and JT will be England's centre back pairing for the euros. Hulk is immense but will be extremely expensive and hazard is just as exciting, less proven player but cost a lot less. Azpillicueta is very quick and will play at right back for Spain when puyol retires and ramos moves to centre back and Moutinho is a class act and AVB is a huge fan of both. The title is ours next season with that side and probably a few more signings for the squad like de bruyne and a couple of young exciting players. Come on you blues!!

Quick question ed, with transfers do we have people working on multiple deals at the sign time, or is it sign one player, then focus on the next? cheers

LIAM {Ed002's Note - People can deal with more than one at the same time.}

Hey ED, My sources tell me that Chelsea reps are travelling to France next week to discuss a possible deal for Eden Hazard. This is supposedly the second player that AVB is interested in. Any truth in this?

Thanks {Ed002's Note - The interest in Hazard predates AVB and there have already been discussions between the clubs.}

Believable4 Unbelievable1

Ed what were the outcome of the discussions? {Ed002's Note - There is no outcome.}

Agree0 Disagree0

Hi ed, were these discussions recent or in the past?
by the way thank you for all your work it really is appreciated. {Ed002's Note - Recent.}

Agree0 Disagree0

So no fee discussed? Or Lille prepared to sell in January? {Ed002's Note - Chelsea understand the expectations financially.}

Agree0 Disagree1

14 Jan 2012 18:51:35
Do we hold an interest in Labyad ED? {Ed002's Note - His contract situation is a real mess and he will not be moving to Chelsea.}

Ed what is the situation with malouda?? I think he still has a lot to offer ! Thoughts eds and peoples {Ed002's Note - He will leave either this month or, more likely, in the summer.}

Believable5 Unbelievable5

He has alot to offer? an extra couple million transfer budget at most

Agree17 Disagree0

We need Flo until the summer minimum.
He scores and makes goals and provides cover for Mata who I think will need a break at some stage.

Agree1 Disagree8

I hope he doesnt stay..2 chances he had from the bench to put torres through on goal n didnt...huge letdown

Agree3 Disagree1

Malouda is hot n cold...to often cold... hazard,neymar would be huge at chelsea...id be happy with either. hulk should be our main target probly in the summer cos he is a monster of a player and there r only 2 teams in the world who can afford him.so we should go all out to sign him. plus a young left bk.

Hi ed, what players have chelsea actully bid for? Cheers {Ed002's Note - You need to read the posts to keep up but discussions have been held over a number of players and bids submitted for the likes of Cahill and Vargas. I am not going to go back over everything again as I have neither the time nor inclination to do so.}

Believable3 Unbelievable3

Ed didnt vargas snub us {Ed002's Note - I am not sure if snub is the right word, but he moved to Napoli.}

Agree1 Disagree3

Well that just shows how much power we have in pulling top talent to chelsea wot a joke!!!!!! {Ed002's Note - Vargas did not move to Chelsea for very valid reasons - try not to be such a cretin.}

Agree11 Disagree4

Great reply Ed

Agree12 Disagree2

There were likely to be WP issues with the Vargas move so his decision was made a little easier. Try to look at the details of each transfer before branding Chelsea as being unable to attract talent.

Agree2 Disagree1

Vargas,s agent said he would of been proud too go to chelsea but he thought it was best for his development too go to napoli ,, so dont be to suprised if were lookin for him again a few years down the line !

Agree2 Disagree0

Ed if ur happy that a team like napoli attracts top players over chelsea then ur a fool! fact {Ed002's Note - Clearly you have liitle or no understanding of the reasons behind his decision to move to Napoli. Perhaps you would not look so stupid if you had politely enquired.}

Agree4 Disagree5

I concurr with the above statement outlining the ed's credentials.

Agree0 Disagree5

Vargas hadnt played much for the national team so it would of been harder to get the right visa and play immeditately for chelsea, napoli guaranteed more playing time in the short term.

Agree0 Disagree0

Hey ed do you know if Jose Mourinho would be welcome back to manage Chelsea? I love AVB so please don't think i want him out would just like to know if we could be home for the special one again {Ed002's Note - It is a possibility for the future.}

Believable10 Unbelievable0

Thank you

Agree3 Disagree2

Jose coming back to Chelsea to 'finish his business' and AVB off to the Arsenal to realise his footballing ideology when Wenger retires. That would make for great sport. Although I would prefer AVB to realise it at chelsea

Ed002: Would you say that apart from Cahill and future prospects, Azpiliqueta and Hazard are our most likely targets this transfer window? {Ed002's Note - No and I am not going to be drawn in to such matters, particularly by having words put in my mouth.}

Believable1 Unbelievable2

Ed002: I always sign when i send in the form and you know yourself that ain't that type of person to come back sayin': you said this, promised that, were inacurate, or whatever sh** which goes around here.

I am just trying tonunderstand a few things. For instance: we need a right back. I think so, club is searching for one and therefor i wonder if there is a dialogue with OM over Azpiliqueta.

Also i understand we would like to have Di Maria over Hazard, but Madrid say he is unavailable. Hazard to me is just as good and might develop into an even better player and also is younger. Hazard's preference is Madrid, and Real won't feature both. There are probably some tangling between the two, just as it is over the Cavani-Higuain situation.

If you will post it and have time to comment, would really appreciate it. Thank you. {Ed002's Note - I am not so sure you sign your posts - as neither of these are signed. Cheslea have discussed Azpiliqueta with Marseille, so yes there has been dialogue. A representative from Chelsea discussed Di Maria with Real Madrid in Los Angeles over the summer - he would probably prefer Di Maria to Hazard. Real Madrid do not have the money to buy Hazard at this time and he is not a priority. Chelsea have spoken with Lille and are aware of the asking price. Chelsea may well offer up a player as part of the deal if they decide to push for Hazard. We are not going to discuss the player that may be included at this time.}

Agree1 Disagree0

Thank you Ed, i must have been signing not at the end of the text, but in the form itself, under "name:". Thank you for this update.

Ed, any truth in this,
Chelsea told Lille to name their price for Eden Hazard - on a day when they were left frustrated by the Gary Cahill saga?
thanks. {Ed002's Note - No.}

Hey Ed, i'm glad that cfc has finally managed to get cahill. I'm also glad that efforts are being made to bring some other palyers with quality. The likes of Eden hazard and Azpillicueta, if at all they sign, would be a very good thing for the club. But Ed, would you happen to know the creative midfielders that cfc has been targeting in this transfer window? {Ed002's Note - The players that have been looked at have been discussed and I have no idea what a "creative midfielder" is.}

Believable2 Unbelievable2

Hi Ed002
Was watching the PSG V Lille game yesterday and I was wondering if you have heard of any teams in BPL interested in bring back Joe Cole..He looked what I thought was good.. {Ed002's Note - His loan is for the full season so he will not be coming back now.}

Ed do you no any think about shaqiri goin to galatasaray if he is goin Chelsea shud realy jump in and put in an offer {Ed002's Note - Why?}

Believable1 Unbelievable0

Why? Because he's an amazing up coming talent Chelsea would b stupid to miss out on him {Ed002's Note - So you think Chelsea should randomly buy players because they have talent. Fantasy football - it would be an interesting approach.}

Agree4 Disagree0

How would it b a random sighnin he's a player for the future and isn't that wat avb is tryin to do get young talent for the future. Torres was a random sighnin we didn't even need him at the time. Passin up on shaqiri would b like passin on a young kaka ,messi ronaldo ect he's the future of football {Ed002's Note - Chelsea are not in the business of simply signing players at random. There are plenty of talented players around, you think Chelsea should sign them all?}

Agree4 Disagree0

Ye I suppose your right ed it's just I'm a big fan of shaqiri I'd love to see him at the club in the future

Agree3 Disagree0

I'm not sure what's worse, his knowledge of football, or his knowledge of the English language!

Agree1 Disagree3

The lad only asked a question, which is the whole point in this site isn't it? Everyone needs to stop sucking up to the ED! {Ed002's Note -You don't understand the point of the site if you think I am just here to answer questions.}

Agree0 Disagree0

13 Jan 2012 22:56:21
ED it seems Hazard is ow open to a move to England and with Chelsea trying to push a deal through could we see him at Chelsea in this window? {Ed002's Note - You will need to wait.}
