This sounds like good solid info thanked for sharing

It could turn out to be an interesting signing due to other fairly unknown Africans who have joined in the past i.e drogba
Agree1

Mikel doesn't need replacing. van ginkle? lampard? ramires?

Banana will blow all these guys out the water

Drogba was never unknown. He was the best striker in France when chelsea signed him.

Negotiations with banana seemed unfruitful

Could it be we buy Willian and use Mata in a make way for Rooney? My god this is getting interesting. Can't see why else we would need him. Ed any news on this?
Cfc Dan {Ed018's Note - Moses will more than likely be leaving if Willian comes in}

Mata is not leaving! I still think we could get roo if we pay the right money anyway it's just wether were willing to pay it. Otherwise my alternative would be Jackson Martinez. Now I also believe if the mikel rumours are true Oscar could drop back into the deep midfield position and Willian would be then part of the band of three, and we still keep Moses win win IMO and the bonus of mikel leaving

Has a bid been made for Moses? Who by?
Does this Willian deal in any way change the clubs plans to buy a new striker? Just thinking of amount being paid that's all. {Ed018's Note - Moses is avalible to leave}

Are Everton still interested in Moses Ed? Would you expect that to be his likely destination if he is to leave, thanks.
JMJW {Ed018's Note - i'm not sure if Everton are still interested, I believe West Brom might be interested}

Ok, thanks Ed.

I hope Willian isn't the plan B! Would be great to see him and Rooney come in, we'd definitely have the strongest squad in the league

Ed with Moses expected to leave could this be why we have joined the race for Willian now? Thanks {Ed018's Note - if Willian signs, Moses will certainly be leaving}

Ed044 Do you know if Mata is likely to leave do you know?
Blueblood {Ed044's Note - I can only say what Ed02 said: "There is no intention at this time for Mata to leave. Moses is available and, like John Obi, is expected to leave.}
Believable3
Unbelievable2
But signing Willian it strange do you think not Ed044?
Blueblood {Ed044's Note - This is what Ed02 answered to the same question elsewhere: Sort of, but Mourinho likes him. However, someone else is not so keen. Mourinho has "apparently" made it clear that if a deal could be done he can improve Willian.}
Agree0
Disagree1
We don't actually know who's interested in Mata though, do you Ed? Seems a strange one, i'd have guessed Madrid might have been interested but they have Bale now.

Hi guys, I had a feeling earlier this week that Chelsea wouldn't stand by and watch Spurs sign Willian considering our past intrest. I hope the reports are true that we have made an approach.

Fee agreed personal terms done just medical to carry out will be a Chelsea player by late tonight

Why in the world would we buy him? We've already got 6 players for the 3 spots he could play in (assuming 4231 is main formation). Wouldn't be the most shrewd piece of business were it to happen

To replace Moses I assume if its true. Sid {Ed018's Note - that would be the plan if Willian does sign}

Ed, I've noticed a few people have asked about Jackson Martinez but you haven't replied to any of them. Is he an option if we don't get Rooney? {Ed044's Note - Another Ed has said he would not be an option at the price being asked and Porto are looking to negotiate an extension to his contract with him. He said there is a more likely option still and that there would be a bid for Rooney still.}

Any chance of letting us know who the "more likely option" is ed? Good to know we're not putting all our eggs into one basket! Cheers {Ed044's Note - I don't that, you would need to ask him and I doubt he would answer a Chelsea question.}
