Mate you sound like a two year old writing for the first time.
15 Jul 2016 18:53:04
Trying to read that post hurt my brain!
15 Jul 2016 19:34:38
Got to agree - SIGNING OF THE SUMMER.
15 Jul 2016 19:34:58
Fantastic.
15 Jul 2016 20:23:11
Sorry lads just a small bit over excited 😂😂.
15 Jul 2016 20:29:21
All of that and only one full stop :-)
15 Jul 2016 21:00:51
I love your passion and excitement Magic. beats a lot of the negative comments on here from one or two about current players or lack of activity. Keep it up mate.
15 Jul 2016 22:00:43
I don't get why your have to be negative about his post. Take the positives from it about kante not the grammar.
16 Jul 2016 00:23:22
G8 and jcfc thank you for that kind response. If u can't get excited about such a wonderfull signing these days without been trolled over d way u wrote it up then it shows how sad some people are focusing on the grammar rather than the facts of the post itself.
16 Jul 2016 07:51:21
You leave grandma out of this.
16 Jul 2016 08:17:40
Magic don't worry about it mate. Kante is all that matters.
17 Jul 2016 09:08:16
He is a cracking signing you have every right to be excited and with the market being as over inflated as it is you paid what is equivalent to 2 cups of coffee from Starbucks for him! Great piece of business.

Hi Ed
Can you clear up the Morata situation for me please I have used the search engine but unable to find the answer to.
With Chelseas offer being rejected does that mean Real Madrid have put a "not for sale" sign on him or does it mean Chelseas offer didn't meet Real Madrids valuation? If it's the latter have Chelsea been told what the valuation is?
Thanks Ed.
{Ed002's Note - Chelsea made an offer for Morata that was below what Real Madrid were looking for and Chelsea knew the asking price. But for know, Real Madrid are not discussing Morata leaving and will look to hang on to him - whilst other forwards at the club will be allowed to move on. Perhaps towards the end of the window things will change - but not for now.}
15 Jul 2016 18:09:46
Thanks Ed much appreciated.
15 Jul 2016 13:31:07
Ed another thing that I would like to ask is if Costa leaves us what striker are Chelsea targeting to replace him.
{Ed002's Note - As has been covered many times Chelsea will be buying two strikers this summer, possibly three if Costa is to leave. There are no new names they have all been covered before and they all have varying degrees of difficulty in making anything happen, be it interest in joining, price, willingness of the clubs to sell. So Morata has obviously been of interest but Real Madrid has turned down a vey good offer, Gabriel remains a player that the club has been very keen on for a long time and you may well see the name Mauro Icardi linked to the club again.}
15 Jul 2016 14:02:26
Thank u ed what striker would be most likely to join do u think.
{Ed002's Note - I am not going to start answering BS questions about "most likely".}
15 Jul 2016 14:49:34
Lw2000 - I'm sure you've learned by now (if not, do so) not to ask questions such as "most likely" or "are we going to". it only serves to annoy the Eds and the rest of the readership - oh, try not to ask repeated questions about individual players (you can always check other team pages, including the European section, lots of good info to be found) .
Let's just wait and see what happens in the coming weeks.
15 Jul 2016 13:17:23
Ok sorry is Chelsea going to sign Kante then.
{Ed002's Note - They would like to, I have explained that over and over.}
15 Jul 2016 13:28:26
Thank u.
15 Jul 2016 12:07:31
Well things do change rather quickly, few of us getting worried about transfers but wow the small list we are now heavily linked to look like a real talent pool.
ST:Barbosa
AM:fellipe anderson
CM:Amadou Diawara
CM:Kante
CB:Koulibaly/ Manolas
1. Ed are you aware of what will be happening in regards to cuadrado?
2.Also has club received any offers for any of players yet? i know don't wanna write lists so yes or no would be great.
thanks.
tragic scenes to wake up to today prayers go out to all the families involved all them lifes gone for what very sad.
{Ed002's Note - Juventus would liked to have kept Cuadrado at the end of his loan but Chelsea, in the first instance, will want to try and persuade the player to stay and it is very unlikely Chelsea would agree to a further loan - but a sale is possible. The dependency on another player discussed before still exists, and there will be a need for him to know how he would be used tactically, but Chelsea would like him to stay. Barcelona has made an enquiry as to his availability but that can now be discounted. Chelsea have already rejected an approach from Atletico Madrid and have a tentative enquiry from Inter but it will be left very much in the hands of the player himself if any interested side were to make an acceptable bid.
Yes there have been offers for players.}
15 Jul 2016 13:03:20
Afternoon Ed002,
You quote offers have been made,
Would one be to Liecester City for KANTE?
thank you.
{Ed002's Note - Read the post.}
15 Jul 2016 13:03:58
Well, Lampsy, it would seem that Kante will be joining Chelsea soon rather than later. Reports are surfacing that he will have his medical in the coming days.
So that's good news.
CB is next priority. We desperately need a new one to start.
15 Jul 2016 13:12:21
And on the European pages, Ed stated that there's a possibility of an improved offer from Chelsea for Barbosa. Ed states that unless the bid happens and is subsequently accepted, then he expects Barbosa to sign a new contract with Santos. So nothing's done there :-)
15 Jul 2016 13:25:33
Wheelycfc - the question asked by Lampsy_8 was have there been any offers received for (Chelsea) players, to which Ed002 replied yes, there have been.
How did you interpret that as Chelsea making offers for players?!
15 Jul 2016 14:13:10
Sorry my bad. I read it quick :) )
15 Jul 2016 14:46:17
I'll forgive you. :)
15 Jul 2016 15:01:20
Steve_B thanks 😂😂.
