ED002 is there any news to report today? any possible movements? {Ed002's Note - Nothing aside from what I have already provided.}

Just the Willian story then ED.a question you said unless a extraordinary bid is made for hazard that is the only way lille will allow him to leave what price are we talking roughly over £35 mil? {Ed002's Note - I really do not want to get in to figures.}

Reports say Chelsea are in advanced talks to sign Willian is it true ed? {Ed002's Note - I have explained about Willian already - as you know.}

Do you expect a player to arrive in this window ed? in the next 10 days? {Ed002's Note - There is a good chance.}

It's the Willian from Shakhtar right? We should just spend a little bit more money for a world class player like Higuain or Cavani. Ed if you had 50mil budget who would you spend it on? {Ed002's Note - I am not really interested in fantasy football.}

Is Willian a good player ED02 i have not seen much of him? {Ed002's Note - He has a good reputation.}

Is he a alternative for Hazard if he arrives will the Hazard interest stop as they both play on the left wing? {Ed002's Note - He is an alternative for De Bruyne.}

OK Ed you don't have to get mad, I was just asking. But is Willian the one from Shakhtar? 1 other question, Are Chelsea considering Tevez? {Ed002's Note - No.}

You guys should make a basketball fan page or a fantasy football page. {Ed002's Note - I will send your comment on. There is a fantasy football page already: tinyurl.com/846kcnb}

The fantasy football page link just opens Liverpool rumours.

That link just made up laugh so much, top notch banter there ED

Ahaha ed the fantasy footie to Liverpool quality ed.

Heard from a reliable source that Chelsea will make a move hazard tomorrow and then a further bid for cavani next week!

The way we are going we will need to sign Messi to save our season

Trust me..with our jynx he will not perform..just like many players who came and left unheard

There isnt one player we could sign in January that will make any real difference to our season.
The sooner people realise that the better.

So what are you saying exactly? Let's seat back and watch us getting farther and farther from the top? Some reaction must be triggered.

I have said exactly what I mean.
We may sign someone but even if we sign Hazard we will not win anything this season .
The job of rebuilding the side is more significant than one or two players.
We also have a manager who cant get the best out of a decent squad currently.

With that I agree

Willians left out of shakhtar team today.

What is your source? {Ed002's Note - It is rubbish, just ignore it.}

Any update on bid for Willian ED? {Ed002's Note - There has not been a formal bid but the question was put to Palkin as to whether or not Shakhtar Donetsk would entertain a bid of 20M euros and were told no. Willian previously said he wanted a move to Barcelona but has now told Shakhtar that he would like to move to the Premier League, and the club will not stand in his way if their price is met. Chelsea, Arsenal and Liverpool have shown an interest in recent months but it would take a bid of 30M euros to buy the player. Chelsea see Willian as an alternative to Kevin De Bruyne as a long-term replacement for Florent Malouda.}

Maybe Chelsea Should offer Malouda along with 20M for Willian. I have seen him play against Roma in Champs League. He looked amazingly fast & gifted.

Do you think chelsea would be prepared to go to the 30million mark ed? {Ed002's Note - I don't know.}

This is my major worry with AVB, I know we are only playing Norwich. But tactically, with the way norwich play, with 2 old fashioned CF up front ( most goals in the premier, with headers). He had the option of playing Cahill/Ivanovich, instead of luiz/bosingwa. He could have also played essien/oriol instead of lamps/meireles. Even so we should be winning this game. AVB is not the answer when it comes to tactics. {Ed002's Note - Ivanovich is returning from an injury, there is no way he was going to start. Cahill has just arrived and needs to do some work on his fitness I am told. Essien again is returning from injury and it would be seen as slightly risky putting him in from the start.}

It would probably be difficult to start Cahill because maybe communication problems and misunderstandings, they dont all understand how he plays so he also needs to be blooded into the team. just my opinion. Luiz also wins more against big players then he probably should.

The game hasnt even started and your criticisng tactics?! Cmon man get behind the manager and team!

CT13

Ivanovic has been out for the past 5 games and with the type of injury he had it'd be easy to aggravate it, so starting wasn't really an option IMO. Cahill has only trained for 3 days, he'll get his chance soon.

Stop whinging!

So basically you think we should shut up shop and be ultra defensive against NORWICH? come on now have faith in our attacking ability! like the above poster said GET BEHIND THE MANAGER!!

Fernando was fantastic today... definitely on his way back.


£50m was a bargain.

Maybe a hint of sarcasm?

Chelsea are definitely interested in singing Willian. We made a bid summer before last for him. But it was rejected by Shakhtar Donetsk.
