Ed, can you please tell us what strikers are Chelsea looking at?
Thanks, Lucca {Ed002's Note - There have been plenty looked at but some are not going to be available in January and the club will not by just for teh sake of it. Some look like completing a deal will be a problem and interest will eventually drop. However, to one degree or another interest exists in Falcao, Bony, Schurrle a couple of players from Portugal clubs who would not be available before the summer and one or two others from elsewhere.}

Do the club not see Lewondowski as a good signing ED not long left on his contract so will not be too expensive? {Ed002's Note - Dortmund's Lewandowski was watched last year by Liverpool, PSG, Real Madrid, Rubin Kazan, Manchester United, Spartak Moscow (who were concerned about losing Welliton), Juventus and Lille. I very much suspect Bayern Munich would be top of the list with a cheque in hand should he not agree an extension at Dortmund, but Dortmund certainly do not want to sell him to BM. The other more viable options are Arsenal, Manchester United, Juventus (albeit he is now far from first choice for them as they are closing in elsewhere). Chelsea have considered Lewandowski but I don't know of any bid being made and there would not have been a bid anywhere close to the 35M euro Dortmund valued him at. At present Dortmund and the player have been unable to reach agreement over a new deal but that does not mean that they won't. At present, there is no agreement in place for him to join any other club.}

Would these strikers be rodrigo and jackson martinez?

Jordan {Ed002's Note - It is unimportant at this time. If something looks possible I will say.}

ED do you think if Chelsea could use Torres as part of a deal for Falcao it would help us? {Ed002's Note - Asking the same questions over and over agin wastes my time.}

Chelsea are willing to let Torres go to Athletico plus cash in exchange for Falcao. The offer has been put forth to Athletico during discussions, however, Athletico have other targets they are pursuing. Torres is by no means a top target of Athletico's , at this time.

Just to let you know that I thought Azpilicueta was really good against West Brom :)

MKblue

He did very well as usual, i think we got one hell of a buy he is gonna 2-3 times worth the money we paid for him in 4 years.

Yeah agree he looks really good. Quick and has got the best cross out of all our full backs and don't mind a tackle either
