hi ed018, do you know which clubs are seriously interested in Cech?

{Ed018's Note - Real Madrid and maybe PSG or Monaco could be}

Ok cheers ed018, just one more question though, I see on another page that ed002 has said that a premier league club has made an offer for Lucas Silva of Cruzeiro with the option of a loan back to Brazil. Chelsea have been linked with him in the past couple of days and I was wondering whether it was indeed us?

{Ed018's Note - I have no idea. Sorry}

Read on here earlier that we were waiting on another player before looking at William Carvalho.

Would this be Mehdi Benatia? Yes he's primarily a centre back but he's great on the ball and has played as a defensive midfielder in the past so he's fully capable.

Obviously there's been reported interest already in him and Bayern are lurking but read Roma reps on their way to London so could be something in that (or not!)

Would hit two birds with one stone and we know Jose loves a player with versatility in his game!

Cheers eds doing a great job as always.

{Ed018's Note - its looking like Benatia will be off to Bayern}

Ed's,

Do chelsea have interest in Lucas Silva, Cruzeiro's 21-year-old playmaker?

Cheers mate

{Ed005's Note - This is what another editor put on the Manc page :

Lucas Silva attracted a lot of scouts during the last season from across Europe. One EPL side made a proposal about buying him and lending him back - I suspect because of work permit issues. Dinamo Moskow, Benfica and Porto have made their interest known and it is surprising there have been no more firm offers at this time. However, I understand that Marco Silva is keen to take him to Sporting but may well wait until Carvalho's departure is confirmed. But he does appear on a list of players which may well be making a move in the next two weeks.}

Cheers
