Hello Ed. Does Chelsea have any interest in Vasco de Gama's Dede? According to Sky Italia, we've seem to have offered 10 mill. � for him with Milan bidding 12 mill. you know anything about this? Cheers {Ed002's Note - Manchester United, Inter Milan, Real Madrid, Fiorentina, Liverpool, Benfica and Roma have shown an interest in Vasco's Dede over the past couple of years. Recently AC Milan, Barcelona, Juventus, Anzhi, Chelsea and Bayern Munich have been keeping a watching brief on the player in the months leading up to the end of the Brazilian season. A bid has been made by Corinthians although I understand it is not a destination the player would consider right now and another by AC Milan in January - but they were told firmly that he was not for sale in January. Benfica and Anzhi have both spoken with Vasco since January to see if a deal could be struck in the summer and it seems that is very likely with the long-term interest of Manchester United may be seen once more but their focus is now on Garay.}

And I know that Chelsea have been watching Garay Ed002 but would you say that our interest isn't as strong as Man U's? {Ed002's Note - Measured how?}

Scouting of games, approaches to club etc. {Ed002's Note - So you think some one keeps score of how many times a scout watches a player and compares it to other club's scouts. Not a chance.}

Ed are Chelsea actually interested in signing a defender in the summer transfer window I though our priority was a striker {Ed002's Note - Clubs can be interested in players in more than one position.}

What's this about a swap between schurrle and de bruyne!
Any truth ed? {Ed002's Note - Speculation that Leverkusen may be willing to accept a player as part of an offer for Schurrle.}

I would give them Marin instead. {Ed002's Note - It doesn't work like that.}

Hi ed do you think they would be willing to let de Bruyne go he looks like he has done well on loan?
Jambo {Ed002's Note - As I have explained, he will come back to be assessed by the new manager in the summer. If he wants to move on and a suitable offer is made then the club will not stand in his way.}

Surely its De Bruyne on loan plus cash? {Ed002's Note - There is no such deal.}

What about offer them Marin on loan? Marin needs games to come good for us. He's such a good player. {Ed002's Note - It really doesn't work like that.}

Perfetic, I'd have de bruyne over schurrle
