Hi edd I no your stated as we all no chelsea have interest in varane reus and iCardi, my question is are we likely to sign any or is it all speculation, also what has icardi done that makes him so special he wouldn't tie willian and hazards laces let's be honest about it . reus and varane however would be high profile signings jt is a legend but how long more before his time comes,, do you think zouma has what it takes to replace him? Also I think the only place chelsea need a player is a defensive midfielder any players spoken about to come in instead of Mikel ie khedira?

{Ed002's Note - I am not going to guess at what will actually happen - if for no other reasons than you probably won't like the answers, There is interest in all of these players and there have been multiple meetings with their clubs. I don't really understand what you are saying about Icardi and Zouma. I have explained that Chelsea has an interest in Lucas Silva as DM player.}

All I asked about zouma edd was just if you think he will be a top player for chelsea just more or less asking what you and other chelsea fans make of him so far an do ye see top class potential and the future of our defence . iCardi what I meant was I don't understand what all the fuss is about he's playing in a poor league with a poor inter team I don't see what he could offer chelsea just my opinion ,, I am a huge fan of Kalas Christiansen ake and chalobah do you feel they will be promoted next year or will Jose prefer to loan them for a season or 2 for first team experience it's been to long since we had the buzz of an academy player coming through I hope at least 2 from the 4 I named make the step up kalas certainly looked an outstanding prospect when mourinho threw him in last year . Do you think Ryan Bertrand will be back next year I think he's a great player but I feel mourinho doesn't have much trust in him it's a shame but Jose is the boss

{Ed002's Note - I have no way of measuring "top". It is like cheese - some folks think Gorgonzola is a "top" cheese whilst it makes others reach. To play in a "poor" (perhaps Cheddar) league does not make a player a "poor" player. Tomas Kalas has played most of his career in the Netherlands - or the "Edam" league as I would like to refer to it. How can you be a huge fan of a player who has never played the top cheeses? Ryan Bertrand will sign permanently for Southampton (a Double Gloucester level side). They will be doing some math to figure out whether they take him on full time in January or post June 30 - an issue they will be pondering.

Hopefully it is much clearer now.}

Thanks ed! That has to be the BEST response post ever on this site! Haha.

Ed002 are we signing Danilo Pantic in January or in summer transfer window?

{Ed002's Note - He is a child and Partizan want to sell him this month but there are complications over any sale to Chelsea which would need to be resolved.}

Does it means we will sign in summer as a free agent. Partizan is irrelevant here it's all up to his dad (first hand info).
Cheers!

{Ed002's Note - Partizan is not irrelevant as they are looking to sell him this month. As I said there is a complication that would need dealing with worth. Why are you bothering me about this if you are talking with his father?}

I don't want to bother you, the question is are we going to pay 2mEUR to secure him now and send him to Holland or we will just wait till summer? (The lad is Chelsea fan).

{Ed002's Note - Talk to his father and ask him about the complication that needs resolving. Hopeless.}

I'm sorry, but I have(as a lot of you have probably done) watched his "highlights" video and I can only say he is playing with and against absolute rubbish in that league. Against a half decent defender he would be hamstrung and disposessed. To me, this is a buy now and profit later(with a sale) player. I will be pleased if this statement comes back to haunt me at a later time but there are a million players out there that would look great in that league. Yes he has speed(so has Ramires)and a bit of footwork but against players in a top league I feel he would be in their pocket. JT has slowed but would kill this guy defensively, ffs. And mn, every dad thinks his son is the next big thing, 2m, your joking aren't you, he is not worth that, not on that video.

It seems that Chelsea struck a deal for 900k.

{Ed002's Note - Putting aside the fee there will also need to be an additional payment to another club.}

Apparently the president of Palermo has stated that Chelsea have made an offer for Dybala. I suppose this is incorrect and that we aren't really interested?
Great work on the site :)
