Reports saying that oscar has been released from the brazil olympic team to go to stamford bridge to complete his medical, stating that he will be a CFC player in the coming hours? Any truth in this ed? {Ed018's Note - That's what I've been told}

Thanks ed, hope he does sign! Looks a decent play maker

Where did you get this from?

trueblue012 {Ed018's Note - reliable source}

Another good signing ( hopefully). If we get cavani and cesar, we are all set for next season.

Is it likely to be announced tonight or tomorrow do you expect? {Ed018's Note - not sure}

But you expect it to be completed? {Ed018's Note - from everything ive been told, yes}

What about work permit issue {Ed018's Note - exceptional talent rule i'd guess}

Ed, I saw on the Arsenal rumours page that Arsenal might be interested in Torres and I was wondering If there is any truth in this and whether or not if Torres could leave this summer.

PR! {Ed018's Note - Torres could leave if an acceptable offer came in and he wanted to leave. Since Arsenal don't spend money I couldn't see them making a bid for Torres}

Arsenal would never pay his wages!
Carefree

Has any teams made any offers for torres ? or any other player ?

I think it's safe to say "yes" ^^^

hi ed do you think chelsea will move foor cavani as he is looking to leave a squad that recently sold one of their best players {Ed018's Note - Yes something may come of this}

17 Jul 2012 20:59:36
hi ed today cavani told the press that he would go to chelsea for 150k a week. do you think that chelsea will pay that fee or keep aiming at hulk? {Ed018's Note - told the press? you sure about that}

17 Jul 2012 20:31:40
Ed what can you tell us about Chelsea's pursuit of thorogan hazard

Jm10 {Ed018's Note - scroll down. Ed002 covered this earlier today}

Chelsea will loan lukaku to a prem team, maybe west ham or fulham, alparently according to oscars agent we are no longer interested which I think is good, looking at him I think he would be smashed onto two in prem lg, I think cavani would be amazing but then Torres wouldn't feel like our number 1 an prob maybe suffer, hulk wud be great especially with cavani , then just a right back which hopefully will be azpilcueta,

Ivanovic?

I think with your lineup, we would get smashed in two. Ramires is not a holding midfielder, so there is little protection to the defence.

I think (and hope) Oscar does sign as he offers different qualities to what we currently have in our squad.

Im pretty sure were gonna need a goalkeeper on the bench too {Ed018's Note - all these so called possible lineups and formations have been a mess today}

Bit of a suicidal line up. Mikel and lamps holding , Ramires mata on the wings hazard behind Torres if he stays. System has flexibility to close or open. Can't see hulk in this system at such a big price.

This was my list but wanted to add that with all games we got Sturridge de bruyne Marin would feature loads still and lamps and Mikel always switching with Ramires, mattm

.......................cech..........................
Ivanovic...Cahill/Luiz....JT....cole/bertrand
.........Lampard/Mikel.....Ramires.............
Oscar/Marin..........Mata..............Hazard
...................Torres/Cavani...................

Bench: Turnbull,Luiz/Cahill,Cole/Bertrand,Mikel,Essien/Meriles,Oscar/Marin,Sturridge

On Loan: apart from those already gone -Lukaku, Debryune
Sell:Malouda, Ferreira,Essien/Meriles

That would be a good formation I feel. Not sure about the position Ramires though.

No ivanovic u clearly couldnt pick a good team if someone paid u

Are u looking at the post Blindfolded..I hv covered Ivanovic at RB..One player I forgot was Romeu. Would want him to go on loan for a season or so..

Ed, is it possible for Chelsea to Sign four more player(Hulk, Schurrle, Oscar and Apzilicueta)?

PR! {Ed002's Note - Yes, but not those four.}

ED002 Shaktar's board memberber has said they recieved a bid for willian of 34 mil euros from chelsea Lucescu said: "It's below his level, he's not going for that money!"

is this true or an old story? {Ed002's Note - I have no idea but Chelsea never offered that before.}

What do you mean, not those four...Are some of those players out of the clubs reach now?

PR!

Well it seems unlikely to me that we would sign Hulk, Schurrle AND Oscar. Perhaps two of those three, (or alternatives).

Which four is it then? {Ed002's Note - You need to think indivudually - not as a "four".}

18 Jul 2012 01:10:14
did you here that from t***ter as thats where it has come from.why would chelsea offer that amount

Why not all?! Considering we have bid for much of thm?!

Pardon my spelling, but I would think Az and and possibly Shurle (if we can come to a deal). I think it would be Oscar OR Hulk but not both - and Oscar seems like an almost done deal.

Is Gaz Prom a right back?

H.... .....wait your joking right?

Nova {Ed002's Note -

Must be.

If you aren't, no its the largest natural gas company In the world, state run (Russian gov'mnt owns 50.1% or something) it controls almost 3/4 of the world's known natural gas supply.

But I'll assume you were joking.

Roweycfc

I think right back

Roman still has 30% of the shares

No, he's a striker he's worth £158 billion

He's a striker which makes him not very popular with his current employers. A bit like Tevez basically.

I am flabberghasted that there are people that take football so seriously that they would think the 'Gaz Prom a right back' post mightn't a joke. Jesus wept.

Wait wait wait... NO WAY! THIS IS A JOKE?!?! OH MY DAYS! REALLY?!?! I thought we were talking about Gary Prom...

Thanks for clearing it up that was a joke. I would have never got there. Now, back to my diet of skittles and coke for the rest of the day...

edd have chelsea actually agreed a fee with napoli or have talks not even began

thanks
matthew {Ed002's Note - Put aside this concept of "talks". Napoli has known of Chelsea's interest since January. Certainly no fee has been agreed.}

But has anything changed in the last few days between Chelsea and Napoli ED is it still just interest or are there plans for talks? {Ed002's Note - What is so difficult to understand? What is this obsession with "talks"?}

So edd is there a chance we will get cavani {Ed002's Note - Perhaps.}

17 Jul 2012 16:27:40
Hey Ed,
What does RDM/The management have planned for Lucas Piazon? He has been dubbed the next Kaka. Are they looking to loan him out? If yes, where?
Ameya {Ed002's Note - No decision yet.}

Since he is the next Kaka, he will be loaned to Real Madrid as Kaka's understudy, but when Kaka is sold to AC Milan/PSG, Piazon will follow in Kaka's footsteps and be loaned there

Lets see how he does in pre-season. With Torres, Mata and Sturridge not joining the first team till later cause of Euro participation and Olympics, Piazon may well get 30-45 minutes in our first friendly tomorrow

Things are looking up, possibly. If Oscar is also the next Kaka, we will have the next two Kaka's in our squad. Let's just hope they remain at the top of their games for longer than Kaka. Player comparison is fun ;)

i really dont think hulk wonts to move anywhere,he is using all the transfer talk to get a better deal .its a shame i would like to see what he can do in the pl.come on hulk come and show some skills and grow a pair

I'm sure Hulk already has a fine pair! The issue isn't with Hulk it's with his club.

Everything's been sorted with his agent it's just the fee with Porto who won't budge on there price which is holding up deal, I think he would be brilliant in prem

17 Jul 2012 12:09:15
Did we really bid 25 million for Walcott? {Ed002's Note - Twitter I guess. If so just take it elsewhere.}

17 Jul 2012 11:40:54
Shakter Donetsk want 21 million for Willian! He ain't no where near that good he looks average most of the time in the Ukrainian league. Rather pay 35 for hulk or make a surprise swoop for iker munian for say 25 m. BLUEBOY1

17 Jul 2012 11:09:15
Hey eds, this stuff about cavani is their any truth behind it? Like the 35 million price, the fact cavani has said he wants certain wages, and they are opening talks this week? Or is the only thing that is true is Chelsea are interested in the player? {Ed002's Note - There is some truth in it.}

So are chelsea in talks with either napoli or cavani? {Ed002's Note - NApoli are aware of Chelsea's interest and have been since January.}

17 Jul 2012 09:13:33
I really hope we sign Cavani!

apparently there is a fee agreed but a difference in wage demands?

Any idea Ed?

Gabz1 {Ed002's Note - THere is no fee agreed.}

16 Jul 2012 23:39:03
Seeing a good few links that Chelsea are ready to start talks with Cavani over a move, he wants 150,000 a week! do you think we could get him Ed? {Ed002's Note - The situation remains that Chelsea have a sustained interest in Cavani. I would say we are still some distance from anything being agreed with Napoli.}

17 Jul 2012 00:17:59
hi ed, is there still a chance we could sign schurrle ? its looking very doubtful at the moment ? {Ed018's Note - Leverkusen do not want to sell but there is still a chance}
