Hey Ed, can u please tell me who are Chelsea targeting for attacking midfield? {Ed002's Note - The only thing that has really changed is Eriksen is off the list. Everything else remains in abeyance. Pastore and Sanchez are too complex still; Ganso's status is up in the air like the others due to (a) the strange nature or the Italian rules for out-of-continent players and being able to borrow allocations from other clubs; and (b) awaiting to see if passport applications are successful. So we wait still.}

Chelsea are in talks with Real Madrid with a possible double swoop for Kaka and Karim Benzema. However, this deal includes Didier Drogba moving in the opposite direction.

Ed, I'm interested as to why I havn't heard anything about Sao Paulo's winger Lucas? He always looks good when I watch him. {Ed002's Note - It will no doubt not be a shock that I am unable to answer as to why you have not heard something.}

Hey Ed, can you tell me who are Chelsea's targets for right wing and updates on moves for them? {Ed002's Note - Willian and possibly Payat. Willian offers no more than Kakuta. There are no updates today.}

Ed, Just seen Carlos Tevez Outside stamford bridge with his agent, Is he signing. . Oj lol I wish! Anyway my question is, Juan Mata ive watched him in La Liga and yes he as put on some pretty impressive performances consistantly all this season but! This guy looks a little to small in stature for my liking and I don't think he'd be quite as effective in the PL. Your thoughts on this little subject please my friend????

{Ed002's Note - I have no comments on his size, sorry. I have explained the status of any move in other responses.}

Ed, are we interested in eden hazard?

Are there any transfer news about him/ that or any other player/ players {Ed002's Note - Hazard signed a new contract with Lille and if he cannot get a move that suits him (Barcelona and Real Madrid were his preference) then he could stay and play in the Champions League next year. Juventus are very keen but cannot offer football at the highest level right now. Arsenal, Liverpool, Juventus, Real Madrid, Spurs and Barcelona have shown interest or admiration for the player. I would not be surprised to see Manchester United throw their hat in to the ring as well. If he does move and I was pushed for an answer, I think he could end up in Italy, possibly at Inter. The rumours today seem to be little more than the recycling of the story of Damian Comolli asking to be kept informed of any movements for teh player and this is several weeks old. Talk of a bid from Liverpool seems wide of the mark right now, but you never know what may happen.}

Ed, Milan Lalkovic! What a player this guy looks. I've been watching him for the reserves and was wondering how far exactly is he from actually getting a call up as he displays great potential with the reserves?? {Ed002's Note - The next move maybe a loan. But he is doing well I am told.}

18 May 2011 14:46:35
Ed, whats all this jiggery-pokery i here about Essien going to Barcelona or AC Milan? Lmao! As if Chelsea would even consider selling Micheal Essien. {Ed002's Note - Nothing sinister - see the earlier response.}

the days are approaching and there is not a solid plan as per which player to go for if bid for one player goes down.
in such condition, our on-loan players Sturridge and Kakuta are more important. and we are going to have Piazon from next winter.
So, don't go for a new one if you have alike with you previously.
what I suppose is, we desperately need a striker, a left winger, an attacking mid-fielder and a right defense.
so,
Sell ANELKA
Sell KALOU
Sell BOSINGWA
Sell MIKEL
Sell FERREIRA
Give on loan: McEchran

give your more than best to persuade:

Striker: Aguero OR Cavani
Attacking Mid: Pastore OR Hamsik OR Hazard
Left Winger: Neymar Or Mata
Right Defense: Van Der Weil

Finally, don't stick to one player if it seems lengthening; think of an alternative NOW and process then.

I think Chelsea Need to persuade neymar to come because it looks like his dad is trying to send him the other way.

And Aguero is pobably not coming Because of his high wages!

IS THERE ANY NEED FOR THIS TYPE OF POST MATE, THIS IS STUFF WE ALL KNOW

ZOLA

Hey ed who do you think will take over the manager job next season at chelsea and how will chelsea squad be next season? {Ed002's Note - I refer you to earlier answers.}

18 May 2011 05:05:24
So Ed, you think they'll bring a left and right winger, with Malouda acting as cover to the left sided player and Kalou to the same on the right? Also will Neymar play as winger or striker in your opinion. {Ed001's Note - I think it is more likely Kalou and Sturridge will be the cover along with Neymar.}

so Ed, u think neymar will be a sub rather than a starter? {Ed001's Note - No, sorry, I meant to say Neymar is likely to be to one side of Torres and those two will be providing cover.}

final question Ed sorry, is Willian being sought after as an first team player, alternative to some target or to add cover to some first team players?

{Ed002's Note - Chelsea buy players for the squad. Willian is young and inexperienced at this level and is only one of a number being looked at. Personally, I don't see he can give any more than Kakuta.}
