Hi ed,
Are we still interested in Falcao, or are we now resigned to loosing him to Monaco and moved onto pursuing other targets? {Ed018's Note - a move to Monaco is very possible at this and obviously there are other targets being looked at}
14 May 2013 21:59:17
Cavani latest? Any interest in Moutinho? What about Fellaini?

Hi ed002,
What does the club want to do with Courtois next season? {Ed002's Note - He will go on loan.}
Ed, with Courtois potentially on loan next season and the impending departures for Turnbull and Hilario does that mean we are looking for a backup GK? I assume that Jamal Blackman will be the 3rd choice keeper (assuming we recruit one more)? {Ed002's Note - Chelsea has been looking as has been discussed.}
Is there a preference for him to play in the premier league or do you expect another loan to atletico? {Ed002's Note - I don't expect anything beyond what has been said previously.}
To a prem club or back to atletico? {Ed002's Note - It is too early to say.}

Reports in Italy are that Chelsea are closing in on Cavani they say he's signed for 42.5 million on a 145,000 a week wage deal. Any truth in this Ed?
CfcBenWxm {Ed002's Note - Wait untl it is confirmed on Twitter or Facebook.}

Ed 002 if you have time I'd like to ask your opinion on cavani. Do you think the club will seriously pursue him (I know we met his release/buy out clause, not sure which one, last summer) or are cheaper options now entering the frame such as lewandowski or it it too early to tell? Also I know that the arrival of the new manager might have a baring on the situation. Any info would be much appreciated. {Ed002's Note - Chelsea maintain an interest in Cavani.}

Liverpool fan in Peace.
Ed. Is cheslea selling kevin Debrune?
Thats Insane. He looks top class for me, top class.
better than moses, bennayon and Ba combined. {Ed002's Note - He is a Chelsea player that they# club are willing to loan out next season or indeed, if he has no interest in a future at Chelsea, sell. As I explained he has no interest in a permanent move to Bayer but remains keen on a move to Dortmund.}
He's on loan to Werder Bremen, not Bayer (Leverkusen) {Ed002's Note - You misunderstand.}
He's on loan at Werder Bremen. Bayer Leverkusen likely want him to be included in the deal for Schurrle. Either on loan or permanently. Dortmund are also interested in him as a replacement for Gotze, but aren't interested in a loan.
You mis-understood Eds comment. For next season he would prefer a move to Dortmund as opposed to Leverkusen; if he wants to leave Chelsea permanently then a sale may be a viable option. if he doesn't want to leave then a loan would be the option available.

ED002 is Napoli's president in London to meet with Chelsea? {Ed002's Note - I really don't know where he is today.}
14 May 2013 11:49:54
Ed002 anything new on falcao have monaco agreed a fee to sign him? {Ed002's Note - There is nothing new. Monaco have made offers to his various owners that are likely to be acceptable.}
14 May 2013 11:16:08
Anything new on Isco? Is it true Man City are very close to signing him? {Ed002's Note - There is nothing new and MC remain interested.}
14 May 2013 17:20:14
Have we moved to cavani as our main target as falcao likely to settle for money over football
14 May 2013 16:06:22
Deals that look likely to happen now.
In:
-Cavani 42m
-Schurlle 20m
-khedira cash+essien
Out:
-de Bruyne 20m
-torres?
-Benayoun free
-ferreira free
-turnbull free
-hilario retirement
Where's this Khedira one come from? He's not even that good.
I would prefer to go for Gundogan
CfcBenWxm
Rather keep de brune and Essen than get khedira
We can't sell KDB, he's a huge talent
Have any of you actually ever seen De Bruyne play?! We have Hazard, Schurrle coming, and Piazon coming through - all play from the left. Where does that leave De Bruyne?
If debruyne goes it can only be for 1 or more of dortmund's players. might be worth it for lewandoski or reus.
Cash + Essien? didn't we offer Essien for free to Real Madrid?
14 May 2013 16:02:15
could we have cavani and falcao up front {Ed018's Note - no}
14 May 2013 14:06:30
Hey ed. , Is there any desire to offload Torres this summer?
thanks {Ed018's Note - it is likely he will move on in the summer}
14 May 2013 12:26:50
Hearing rumours Chelsea are close to agreeing a deal for Cavani? Any truth in this? Would make sense since we've missed out on Falcao and you've constantly been saying Cavani is also of interest to us. ?

chelsea should offload mikel and sign sami khederia asap.
Kings XI Chelsea {Ed002's Note - Or exchange Essien for Sami Khedira perhaps?}
Won't happen Essien is one of ''special one'' favor. players.
Mikel is very one-dimensional player. essien and sami are more versatile than him. people like mata, oscar, hazard, bertrand, ramires, luiz are capable of playing at various positions as compared to mikel. the primary role of mikel is to be a defensive player. he is so awful that luiz has to step up and fill that void. judging from recent signings chelsea have made; I expect board likes players who are more versatile rather than being one-dimensional.
Kings XI Chelsea
Should have off loaded Mikel a long time ago
I'd take Khedira over Essien any day to be honest. Essien is no longer the dynamic player he was (unfortunately : ( ) and Khedira would definitely add to our squad.
Essien could be good squad player. we do need some squad players who could share the burden on busy schedules (like the one we are undergoing). a 20-30 minute cameo in premier league or full apperances in fa cup+ league cup could keep players in good shape.
Kings XI Chelsea
Indeed if Wallace needs to go on loan for a season in order to get a work permit it would make sense to keep Essien as he can provide cover for Cesar at right back as well as providing cover in centre mid too. It would negative the need to look for further cover at right back. It's useful that Ivanovic can play right back too. I think the problem with Essien however is that £100k plus a week on a sub is a very expensive situation. I believe this why he was loanded to Madrid last season. He's an expensive tenant. -James13.
You know Khedira's revival in form is because he's no longer playing defensive and has been moved into a much more advanced role right? Chelsea's equivalent is Ramieres not Mikel
As long as mikel goes I will be happy.
Ed002 do chelsea want to sign Khedira then? {Ed002's Note - There is every chance of an effort being made to sign him.}
The thought of a midfield of luiz and khedira, incredible.
jscottjr
I didn't realise Khedira was only 26, seems like he's been playing for much much longer!
14 May 2013 06:49:12
Hi ed, how are Thorgan Hazard and Piazon faring with their respective teams?I hear Thorgan is doing very very well and so has Piazon.
roan {Ed002's Note - Both are doing fine - I would doubt either will be back from loan for another year yet.}
If go on weaintgotnohistory they do a loan report that gives detailed report

Are any teams interested in hulk? Hopefully Chelsea but is there interest from anybody else. Cheers ed {Ed002's Note - Monaco enquired.}
ED, does that means our interest in hulk still exist.
Blueprint {Ed002's Note - Yes if you are a Monaco supporter.}
13 May 2013 18:20:09
Ed, What are the chances of Jose bringing Varane with him to chelsea? {Ed002's Note - No idea.}
13 May 2013 17:57:58
ED002 can you explain the whole De Bruyne situation is it Leverkusen want him on loan but he would rather go to Dortmund who want him on a permanent deal but Chelsea do not want to sell him? {Ed002's Note - The is no situation as such, he is a Chelsea player that they are willing to loan out next season or indeed, if he has no interest in a future at Chelsea, sell. As I explained he has no interest in a permanent move to Bayer bvut remains keen on a move to Dortmund.}
So kdb wants to move permanently to Dortmund? I think it would be a huge mistake selling him, he could be amazing within the a year or two
Ed, does KDB have much of an interest in a future at Chelsea FC? Perhaps he feels he may not get much game time - similar to Marko Marin? {Ed002's Note - I don't know.}
13 May 2013 17:18:50
Hey Ed
Regarding Ancelloti I have read that PSG have rebuffed an offer from Real Madrid by saying he still has 1 year left on his contract.
Is there a way around this or can Ancelloti resign for him to get that position at Real Madrid. If that were to be the case will Real Madrid pay the compensation etc
Thanks
Shak {Ed002's Note - It is like any other manager moving jobs.}
13 May 2013 17:11:50
ED is Ancelotti now likely to stay at PSG? {Ed002's Note - I wouldn't think so.}
