hearing from sky italia that Pep has struck a deal with Bayern to take over next year. Don't know how true it is, just letting you guys know the rumour is there. Personally, I would be quite happy if we don't get him. as people pointed out earlier, he had one of the greatest teams ever assembled and arguably the greatest player of all time. his job wasn't as hard as people like to think. and also, as much as i love him for all he has done, it might be good that for once Roman doesn't get what he wants. might make him appreciate he shouldn't (wont say can't) throw money at a different manager when something goes wrong. my preference apart from Jose will be Klopp but lets see what happens

hi ed, If an europa league club sign a player from a champions league club who have been relegated to the europa league, can the europa league club use the player in the competition?

Blueprint {Ed002's Note - No.}

Lampard
A. Cole
Malouda
Benayoun
Turnbull
Hilario

Are any of these players likely to be offered and to then accept new contracts? Which do you think will leave? Dan {Ed002's Note - They will all leave.}

Believable6 Unbelievable2

Does that mean another back up goalkeeper will be brought in, courtois to return from his loan or a youth goalkeeper to be promoted? {Ed002's Note - Courtois is due to return.}

Agree0 Disagree0

Ferraira to leave aswell? {Ed002's Note - Probably in the summer.}

Agree0 Disagree0

It was pointless asking about the bottom 4.

Agree0 Disagree0

I'd assume, in addition to Courtois returning, that Jamal Blackman will be the third choice GK.

Agree0 Disagree0

Hi ed, hoping that you mean leave one day and not specifically the summer!

Blue John {Ed002's Note - I would not rely on any being at the club after this summer.}

Agree0 Disagree0

Torres? Serious question, not wishful thinking!

Geffro {Ed002's Note - I would expect him to leave in the summer.}

Agree0 Disagree0

Time for a party folks!

JG

Agree0 Disagree0

Will Torres be sold or put out on loan ?

Nick {Ed002's Note - He wll likely go in the summer.}

Hi eds,
is the rumours of Iago Aspas true? Also how much would he cost? {Ed002's Note - Swansea, Maritimo, Watford and Reading have shown an interest in Celta Vigo's Iago Aspas over recent months and Swansea have carried over their summer interest and are pushing for a January move still. The player is by all accounts not for sale in January unless someone matches the Iberian termination clause and I am not aware of interest from Chelsea.}

Okay this is getting out of hand now. Someone has impersonated me posting about some impersonating me. Whoever is doing this is sad and needs to stop coming on this site. It's ruining it for the people that actually use it for credible information and discussion. This is really me Ed. Please ignore the impersonators. P.S - any update on Isco and Paulinho?

Hi ed, is there are Chelsea considering selling Lukaku as he has expressed an interest in moving to WBA permantly? I certainly hope not!

Thanks,

NYCFC {Ed002's Note - Not right now.}

Believable2 Unbelievable3

When did he say he wants to move their permanently, i thought he said he wanted to spend a couple of seasons there until he's ready to come back and play first team football for chelsea?

Agree0 Disagree0

Dont think this is true as on MOTD he said he wants to get away on loan to become a regular for chelsea

Agree0 Disagree0

I do believe he said he wanted to extend his loan another year as he's enjoying playing regular football.

Agree0 Disagree0

He said he'd like to be on loan there next year again

Chelsea have looked at Aspas at Celta Vigo who has a 10m euro get out clause, as an ideal 3rd striker.

Deals for Fellaini, Falcao and Willian look complicated and expensive, with respective clubs not wishing to do business.

Hulk and Modric have been gossip in the papers, perhaps because both are surplus to requirements..
But again come with big fees and wages...

Chelsea will probably wait until the summer to bid for a 'marquee' signing. Falcao being the top of the list, with Courtois and Torres as part of any deal.
Leighton Baines and Isco from Malaga also summer targets.
So January might only bring in Aspas and possibly a hijack on the M'villa deal for a holding midfielder.

Doubt we are selling courtois

What is happening to Jose right now in Madrid, is what would have happened t us the year he left and Grant took over. He surely was tempted to leave in the summer, but something has not materialized as preferred. His head is turned and i don't think he cares a lot.

Having said that, i do not believe Jose offers stability. I don't see him settling in like Fergie or Wenger. Of course anything that lasts more than a season is an eternity at Chelsea, but with the way structure is set at the club, with the way the team is expected to play and the players we have - i can't see that happening.

Can not see Jose willing to let Lamps and Cole go, can't see him working in those conditions. And, as a matter of fact, can't see why would the board want him back.

i want him back, you want him back, but the board shows clearly that there is no sentiment in our actions. We almost won CL under Grant. And won it under Di Matteo. Therefor it is not exactly Pep, Mou or bust.

It pains me to say this, but it could be Benitez who stays here, unless Real brings him in.

I would really appreciate it if whoever is impersonating me stops it right away. It's not funny and it just wastes the Ed's time. You should know it's not me as the person who has been doing it is writing absolute nonsense.

Getting back to business, I have heard that Chelsea are close to completing the purchase of the Barcelona youngster Deloufoe. Chelsea are also considering selling Cech to Barcelona in order to keep them away from Courtios. I've also heard mumurings of a last hour bid of M'Vila. Any truth in any of this Ed? Please ignore the impersonators, they really are pathetic.

Chelsea reportedly close to agreeing a £31,000,000 deal for the unsettled Hulk.

Deffo not Melbourne CFC

Hope not. His attitude stinks. He won't be set for a start every week and i think that would make him throw his teddy out the pram again.

Hmm.. I highly doubt it as it is against the rules to play for more than two clubs in a season. he has already played for both porto and zenit this season. UNTRUE

I've got to say i'm very impressed with our youngsters out on loan his season. I think courtois either has to be our starting keeper or if not that then be loaned to a epl team.

ed, do the premiership clubs have to vote to decide weather or not the fifa fair play rules get brought in? thanks for your time.

Ed002 Did you see the article by Martin Samuel in the Mail today ?
If so do you know what the ramifications of that are?
Thanks
S.S. {Ed002's Note - I haven't but assume it is to do with the letter that was presented a few weeks ago. The whole FFP deal in the EPL has some distance to go. Right now it would impact only Manchester City, Liverpool and Southampton. However, Liverpool are fighting to bring costs down which would lessen the impact on them, and Cheslea and Spurs could be impacted again if Chelsea fail to sustain the sponsorship and earnings from the Champions League and Spurs spend to the same levels as thay have been without balancing the books through significant sales (e.g. Modric). If, and I assume it is,} this is what he wrote about then I would not be overly concerned right now.}

hello ed,

i have 2 questions for you,

has pep made up his mind that manchecter city will be his next mangerial project ... next season ... or is it mostly rubbish ?

do you believe pep to be our new manger next season ... or rather will he be our new namager come june

and

with the sturidge deal to liverpool for 12 mill ... does this mean that we will not pay 12 million from the rest of the amount owed for torres

do deals work that way

derek {Ed002's Note - (1) I have no idea what he has decided. (2) As I have said, probably not. (3) I have no idea what you are talking about, there is nothing owed for Torres.}

Ed aside from Guardiola do Chelsea have any other managers in mind to take over? {Ed002's Note - Of course. But Chelsea has a manager right now.}

Believable2 Unbelievable1
