Eds do we hold any interest in loic remy?
i think he would be a great second choice striker, say as a sub for cavani or costa.

{Ed018's Note - no there is no interest in Remy}

Looks like the club have decided not to pursue Luke Shaw because of the ridiculous amount of money Southampton want for him so who shall we go for? Personally I would keep Cezar as left back and bring PVA back as cover and spend the £25/30M on another centre back

Believable0 Unbelievable7

{Ed002's Note - Moreno seems to be the choice right now - and Sandro has been looked at.}

Ed will try to get marin involved with a deal for moreno

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed002's Note - Chelsea would be open to that but it would not be a driver.}

Hey ed are Chelsea interested in Marek Hamsik? Cheers

Believable0 Unbelievable5

{Ed002's Note - If Hamsik were to move then the EPL might well be an option. But for now that does not look like the case.}

Believable1 Unbelievable6

So will it come down to if jose would like him we will go for it

Agree1 Disagree0

Quick question with regards to Azpillicueta. Your interest in Shaw is clear for all to see, let's face it; who ISN'T interested, so if you did sign him, what would you expect to come of Dave? He's been on of your best performers this season IMO. Would you expect to see him move to RB in place of Ivanovic or become a squad player?

{Ed002's Note - I have no idea who "Dave" is. Chelsea are looking for a left back because Ashley Cole is leaving. Chelsea made it clear to Southampton in January that they would not pay the price they were asking for Luke Shaw and have been looking elsewhere.}

Ok, fair enough Ed, but the question is still put out there to Chelsea fans. What would they all see as Azpillicueta's future role in the side? As an outsider, I think it would be harsh to relegate him to 'backup' or 'squad' player. That's just my opinion though.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed018's Note - I'd like to add in do you really think the left backs we are looking at are better than Azpilicuetta? I don't. I would think eventually he will end up back at right back but I see no reason why he wouldn't be the starting left back come next season regardless of what left back we being in}

Ed 018 I agree it would be difficult to improve on Cesars defensive work but I am not so sure about his attacking limitations playing on the left.
I think it would be helpful to have an attacking left footed player who could stretch the play a bit more against teams that frequently 'park the bus' particularly at SB.
That threat would also create a bit more space for Hazard who often has two players marking him.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed018's Note - I agree with you there, but I can't see any of the left backs coming in and starting over him after the season has had.}

It's really simple, let him play on the right where his qualities would not be compromised and get a new left back. I wouldn't touch Shaw for the sums being quoted. £18m maximum.
