Ed I've heard you say you believe drogba will be gone and just recently you said he was never on the list of players to get rid of. I was just wandering where you stand? {Ed002's Note - I said he has options to leave but no, the club did not have him down to be sold.}

Seeing as we're at odds with a Lukaku deal, where do you think he'll go and for how much?

Hey Ed. Heard anything regarding Islam Feruz from Celtic? It's mentioned in the scottish papers and also man city tried to poach him last season. Regarded as the next big thing apparently, he's only 15. {Ed002's Note - It has passed me by I am afraid.}

People saying we don't need a complete squad overhall are correct!
We need a new GK, RB, CMx2 and WINGER/CFx2.

GK) ?!. Ed, are we after any new GK's or are we happy with Turnbull?
RB) Van Der Wiel or Davide Santon.
CM) Going by the various rumour mills around. . . Pastore, Modric, Sneijder?. . .could be anyone; probably not them! !
WINGER/CF) Neymar looks positive, Aguero won't drop his wage demands and won't sign, Lukaku may sign if the club drops their demands. . . as with the CM's it could be anyone right now.

I think this summer will be a rollercoaster of emotions for Chelsea fans! ! {Ed002's Note - A couple of goal keepers have been looked at. I am not entirely sure why.}

HIQUAIN TO CHELSEA £22M EVRYTHING SIGNED JUST DEPENDS ON AGUERO JOINING MADRID WHICH SEEMS A FORMALITY. 95K P/W

FROM VERY RELIABLE SOURCE INSIDE STAMFORD BRIDGE

MAN IN THE KNOW


Why on earth would we want hiquain. We have enough center forwards and with the possibility of lukaku joining, signing hiquain would make absolutely no sense. Good try though, not happening

Hey ed, I read on cfcts that arnesen has taken 6 scouts with him. This would leave our team seriously depleted, as among them was this guy called Houston or something like that who was our chief scout. Is this true and if so wouldn't that hinder our plans for this summer which was supposed to be one of mass recruiting. Thank you {Ed002's Note - I don't know how many of his staff went with him but I know Steve Houston has gone. It is no big deal.}

Ed have you heard anything about Michael Woods? An expensive signing that doesn't seem to have done much and at 21 should either be breaking into the first team or sold to a lower club for profit. Grateful for your thoughts. {Ed002's Note - He was on loan somewhere in the midlands. I don't know what will happen to him next.}

Hello ed, I've got a few questions about rumours i've heard, some of them plausible, others not so much.
1) Are chelsea trying to sign gonzalo higuain? I've heard that he's on the market for £15 million, which sounds a bit ridiculous, as he's an amazing player.
2) We are going to keep drogba but sell anelka. Sounds possible but would we really sign anyone else, since we would still have torres, kalou, malouda, drogba and sturridge.
3) We are after de bruyne and lukaku. We are going to sign both and loan de bruyne back to anderlecht for a season as part of the lukaku deal.
4) We want to sign gary cahill. -Hopefully not. .
5) We are selling ryan bertrand for 1 million as well as jack cork and jeffrey bruma.
6) We are after pastore but are no longer interested in either sanchez or mata.
7) We are trying to negotiate a deal in which we will buy both neymar and ganso.
8) We want to sign davide santon.
9) We are not interested in aguero.
I hope you can clear this lot up for me. Cheers {Ed002's Note - (1) My understanding is that Higuain will become available if Real Madrid sign Aguero - and if that is the case then he will likely head to Turin. (2) Anelka will go and I expect Kalou as well. (3) It was a proposal made by Lukaku's agent in desperation of trying to sell Lukaku. Seems unlikely. The matter of Lukaku is dealt with further down the page. (4) Not that I know of. (5) Bertrand, Cork and Mancienne will be sold. Bruma will either be loaned to Hamburg or sold. (6) I have dealt with Pastore in another post. As I have explained previously I suspect Chelsea are sick of the difficulties in dealing with Udinese over Sanchez. I don't know about Mata, but I suspect he will probably not move to Chelsea. (7) No, but both could conceivably be bought. (8) I suspect Santon will go on loan in Italy. (9) As for Aguero, both Chelsea and Manchester United failed to put a package together that was acceptable to the player after discussions with his representatives. Juventus then spent two days with his representatives and whilst we don't know whether they came up with the right package for the player, but they did make an offer to Atletico Madrid, which was rejected. I don't see Chelsea going back with another package for the player just yet. I would not yet entirely rule out Real Madrid regardless of what has been said. Again I am not so sure Manchester United have completely removed themselves from the equation after failing, like Chelsea, to put a package together that would be acceptable to the player. Now we have Aguero and his representatives trying to get Roma and Bayern Munich to make a bid.

{Ed002's Note - An update on Pastore (before anyone asks):

Pastore may well be moving this summer - it seems to be on/off week-by-week. Palermo is a difficult club to deal with (to say the least) and money is not something they are short of. They crave success and I would not be surprised to see him stay another season. Juventus have were knocked back a while ago with their standard offer of €20m in cash plus Raffaelle Palladino, Amauri and Sebastian Giovinco in exchange, on loan or in part-ownership as part of the deal. Chelsea are looking for a long-term replacement for Lampard and Manchester United are looking for a long-term replacement for Scholes. Whilst he is not top of Chelsea's transfer list, they are still interested and will keep a watching brief after having a bid of €40m turned down. The other rejected bid that was publicised was certainly from Manchester City and included cash plus an unnamed player going in the other direction - I suspect Adebayor. Liverpool had shown an interest before Christmas but will struggle with the price - which if he is sold is likely to be the highest of the summer. Atletico Madrid are also interested buy I suspect that they will be priced out of the market.The fee will be in the region of £50M or a part ownership deal may well be negotiated. If I had to suggest a destination Barcelona, one of the Milanese clubs (but they have potential non-EU player quota issues) or an outside chance of Chelsea.}

ed is Lukaku coming to chelsea before next monday? {Ed002's Note - I have no idea the relevance of Monday. Nothing has changed in that Chelsea walked away from the asking price, his agent has tried several methods to broker a deal. The result was that Chelsea named a firm price they would pay and it is down to Anderlecht to accept it or not. If they do, a deal can be concluded in principle; if not that will be the end of the matter for Chelsea.}

he said he wants to have his future sorted before next monday.

It's because his exams start either monday or tuesday (not sure which day) and he said he wants to be clear about his future before then

hi ed. Most of the rumours about a RB for chelsea has been vdw. In case we miss out, is there any alternative? If yes, who and who are the alternatives. Also is there a chance of chelsea signing modric, he only costs 25 million and is still young. He has the experience and will be a lot cheaper than the likes of ganso and pastore. {Ed002's Note - The target remain VDW and I am not sure anyone else is a target right now. I doubt Modric will be moving to Chelsea.}

Heys Guys, I would just like to point out that we don't need Lukaku! I mean, it would be great for us have him, but it wouldn't be fair on him. He can only play in 1 position, and that's as a centre forward, And we already have Drogba, Torres and Sturridge to fit that role. As much as I would love him to come, I fear that he would be on the bench, and even if Drogba does leave, he would still be a sub for Torres. However, Neymar can play as a winger as well as a CF, so he would be a great signing, as well as Van Der Wiel, because we urgently need a pacey right-back.

Hey Ed, presuming that Chelsea and the Turkish international team can come to some kind of agreement, can Hiddink really manage both Turkey and Chelsea simultaneously? And also, reports suggest that Neymar has arrived at London for transfer talks, do you have any views on that? Thanks {Ed002's Note - It would only be for a short while that he would need to do both jobs, so why not - he did it before with Russia.}
