Update on interest in Bony? {Ed002's Note - Not right now. Wilfried Bony was of interest to Newcastle over the summer and has been a player Chelsea have been considering for a while. Right now there is varying degrees of interest from Marseille, Aston Villa, QPR, Liverpool, Everton and a couple of German sides (Hamburg and Schalke) but I doubt he will move to either. It would not be a surprise to see interest from other teams, possibly Napoli and Roma, but that is all there is at this time. The player has said he would like to join Chelsea but anymove in January is by no means certain.}

Just watching Revista De La Liga and Guillem Balague has stated that he think Falcao will be signing for Chelsea next month also stating that Spanish TV has also confirmed it.

I dont believe it until any club or a website have confirmed it but the latest betting odds have also been slashed down to just 1.5 on .

Fingers crossed!

Can you post a link please or can you just confirm you heard with your own ears Ballague saying he thinks Falcao will join Chelsea, that's the real question here...cause if you read that someone heard it, then it most likely isn't true...:/

Agree0 Disagree0

Is this true or just bull

I'm not good with twitter at all, don't use it, but I think one of the Ed's (think it was Ed001) said Guillem is very close to Rafa, and if he says something regarding Chelsea you can be pretty sure it came straight from Rafa's mouth.

Well if you watch this weeks edition of revista la Liga then you will see.

Think its on again bwt 11 tonight on a website.

Balague DIDNT say HE THOUGHT Falcao would be going to Chelsea. He quoted the media outlet who said it would be happening. He didn't give his specific thoughts on it, only told them about the rumours.

It was on a Spanish sports station called punto pelota. I watched the discussion and from what I could make out the guy was saying Falcao to Chelsea. Phil

Ed002 any truth in a Pato swap deal with Paulinho? That could force Chelsea to work a deal quicker?
Thanks {Ed002's Note - Man, where do you get this stuff?}

Believable0 Unbelievable4

Wow thats the most farfetched bit of info ive seen on here yet what is the point in posting somthing that is utter crap.

Just Wow...

Ed you said that corinthians offered a two player plus cash deal for pato. Was paulinho one of the players?

Jordan {Ed002's Note - Options on players, not players. And no.}

Agree0 Disagree0

Hi ed have we shown anymore interest in pato many thanks {Ed002's Note - Since when? Way back, yes. Now, no - and they have a cash plus two player options offer on the table.}

Believable2 Unbelievable6

Is the offer from a brazilain team ed? {Ed002's Note - Corinthians.}

Agree0 Disagree0

Ed002 going through the search function the last major info on cavani as far as th January window goes is that he was currently unavailable as well as the figure being thrown around wasn't to the clubs liking. Does this still hold true?

Tk {Ed002's Note - It does indeed.}

Hey ED,

Punto Pelota are reporting that Falcao will move to Chelsea in January after " a pre contract and fee already having been agreed between both parties"

What say you ED?

Thanks

Samir {Ed002's Note - Chelsea remain keen to complete a deal for Falcao in January rather than the summer. However, there is no pre-contract.}

Believable9 Unbelievable3

Are Athletico unwilling to sell in January ED? {Ed002's Note - Sorry, I have explained the situation as best I can. Chelsea remain keen to complete a deal for Falcao in January rather than the summer. However, there is no pre-contract and Atletico will look to get the best deal that they can - regardless of timescales. I have explained that they are actively seeking a replacement.}

Agree0 Disagree0

Ed 002 Does Falcao have a buyout clause if so do you think Chelsea would pay it if pushed ? {Ed002's Note - Regardless of a "buy out" there is an "acceptable fee" which Chelsea woul like to be less.}

Agree0 Disagree0

Check out the link below! If someone can translate that would be helpful? DJ

Pipi Estrada is saying Falcao to sign for Chelsea

http://www.intereconomia.com/noticias-/punto-pelota/pipi-estrada-falcao-fichado-por-chelsea-20121218

Believable2 Unbelievable6

This has been regurgitated from a " " report.

wouldnt fall for it!

Agree0 Disagree0

Why was that edited ed? {Ed002's Note - It was done by one of the filters not by an editor. We have a swear-a-thon and a " "-a-thon. It'll be one of them.}

Agree0 Disagree0

I see.... in wich case it is a story that i believe has come from caught offside who are not the most trustworthe of sources to say the least!

Agree0 Disagree0

^^^ Wrong! He (Pipi Estrada) is saying he went to a meeting in Madrid and Roman was already there with his advisers. Hopeully trying to get the deal done himself. DJ

{Ed002's Note - Chelsea remain keen to complete a deal for Falcao in January rather than the summer. However, there is no pre-contract.}

Agree0 Disagree0

Wrong in what context?

all i have stated is that caught offside is not a trustworthy site and they MAY have taken thier story from intereconomia.

seeing as you have asked for translation on the latter i dont think you can say for definate that i am WRONG.
maybe you disagree.

on the other hand maybe i am wrong and both reports are completly different but i cant read portugese so i was just speculating.

Agree0 Disagree0

Wrong as in Pipi Estrada didnt get the info from caught offside, ive had it translated to me now, so i now know what was said. No drama mate....And thanks ed002 i understand that theres no "pre-contract" but i also understand that Falcao is our top target over cavaini or any others, which is what you have sort of said all along. Cheers DJ {Ed002's Note - Right.}

Agree0 Disagree0

Ed002 this may be a long shot but may the recent match fixing scandal at napoli help our chances of signing cavani? Many thanks {Ed002's Note - It makes no difference.}

Ed, used the search re: Fellaini, on the 9th you said he wouldnt be joining in Jan - can you give any more info on whether he's even a target or not, and what stops a Jan move (I assume Everton simply not wanting to sell)

Cheers {Ed002's Note - If Fellaini were available in January Chelsea would likely be one of the interested clubs. For now it seems that he will not be available.}

Believable2 Unbelievable0

Ok cheers

Agree0 Disagree0

ED previously you said we ha dno interest in Fellani what's changed? {Ed002's Note - Chelsea has not made any approach for the player. However, he remains a player that Chelsea has looked at as an option to other at - and should he become available in January Chelsea would likely be an interested party.}

Agree0 Disagree0

I don't think Everton will ever make him available so I reckon it's a case of Chelsea aproaching Everton with a deal

Eds as Chelsea are looking. To bring in hopefully 2 strikers And slot of ino on who but is it going to be a case of a big money move for one and maybe a cheaper prospect for other or two bug money moves,just as with FFP and not going further in champ league wondered if that would make us re think few targets, cheers mate {Ed002's Note - No it won't.}

Believable2 Unbelievable0

Good, hopefully two big players in, cheers ed, have nice holidays {Ed002's Note - And you.}
