Hi ed18
Is it still possible Chelsea could make a move for griezmann or has the pedro signing ended all interest?

Believable0 Unbelievable0

{Ed018's Note - no Griezmann won't be moving}

Hi ed!
Was just wondering if there is still a chance Chelsea will make a move for Griezmann, or has the signing of pedro ended all interest?

Believable0 Unbelievable0

{Ed018's Note - no. Lacazette is of interest}

23 Aug 2015 00:11:17
Would be a great signing. Can play rw and striker so would give us great options. I do worry about our strikers at the moment with Costa and remy quite injury prone and Falcao being a risk. Pogba seems to be rumbling on but just have a feeling it will be another one we miss out on.

Agree0 Disagree0

23 Aug 2015 00:58:11
I can't see us getting lucky and with pogba as even if we do somehow come to an agreement I feel pogba will decide to wait a year and head to barca instead. Ed is there any info on a bid we have put in? The other day you said you felt something about to happen with him

Agree0 Disagree0

23 Aug 2015 09:18:33
Need zouma to have a word lol

Agree0 Disagree0

23 Aug 2015 09:23:29
The signing of pedro is plenty for the attacking half, he's capable of pushing Willian out, and even Oscar and fab, nice healthy competition now. We need pogba and were ready.

Agree0 Disagree0

22 Aug 2015 20:09:12
Supposedly juventus and pogba have rejected a bid from us. Going by what di marizo says ( no idea if he's legit or not).

Believable2 Unbelievable1

22 Aug 2015 21:33:09
Ed's - any idea what's actually going on?

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed018's Note - there was an offer recently that was rejected}

23 Aug 2015 01:12:51
Well would say that's the end of that then Pogba was along shot though let's see if we can pull anything out bag before window shuts

Agree0 Disagree0

23 Aug 2015 00:57:23
Yeah I just saw actually - thanks though Ed! Does it look likely that a better offer and better personal terms will land the player?

Agree1 Disagree0

{Ed018's Note - I'm sure they will try. I have no idea if it'll happen}

23 Aug 2015 01:33:37
We may come back in with another bid, still a week to go you never know, I wouldn't exactly hold My breath though about us signing him

Agree0 Disagree0

23 Aug 2015 02:31:38
Okay Ed thanks. We're all a bit too excited on the page at the moment!

Hi ed,

Please can you update us regarding stones to chelsea?

Rumour surfacing that a big will be submitted this weekend @ 40m - would that be enough?

Believable1 Unbelievable0

{Ed018's Note - I have no idea how much will be enough}

22 Aug 2015 18:48:18
There isn't enough money to pry away Stones and Pogba! If we tie tomorrow And Everton by chance win or tie then we are going to be in an even worse position! Would be best for us for Man city to dominate the game tomorrow and John to let up a goal or make a mistake showing his coach he wants to go, the better he plays the less likely for him to leave and the same with Pogba, should he score or be vital in their win it's going to be highly impossible to get Juventus to budge unless William and or Oscar with Caudrado or Ramires are going the opposite way! Thoughout this entire process of the Transfer Market being open clubs are relentless to let go of their stars no matter what the cost and seems more that people really hate Mourinho and believe all his buying is impulsive and causing stress in other tams locker rooms with his head games and player advances! I'd be really surprised to see Stones come regardless of transfer request or not and for POgba we will have to give up two players for him and cash and who even knows if he wants to come here anyway! He has never said anything in the press showing he wants to leave Juventus! I think we need to give the youngsters a shot! We can play Zouma and BI or Terry with Azi and Rahman play Matic and RLC in middle with Willian/Oscar Pedro and Hazard and Costa upfront! These next few games are where we should experiment! For me Terry Cahill BI and Cesc are all slow and we need speed to beat these teams!

I watch Manunited game today and let me tell you they are kicking themselves over Pedro which is fabulous for us! They are slow and can't score and Newcastle ran all over the field today like in the stoke Swansea game everyone on the pitch is fast and elusive and these are the teams that will give us problems! Man City is loaded with new speed and it's time for us to use ours

Agree0 Disagree5

That kinda money for Stones is really ridiculous IMO. So many better options out there, even young centre backs. And most of them would be cheaper.
I was watching Hoffenheim-Bayern today and their centre back Niklas Sule is really good. Only 19 and physically he's a beast. Plus he's got some tidy passing. Why not go for him instead of Stones? He'd almost certainly be cheaper.
Best would be to get Varane/Laporte. But if they're not available, get Sule for example. Or Rugani from Juve (?), he's going to be huge. I feel that spending that much on Stones is a waste.

Agree0 Disagree1

22 Aug 2015 20:21:56
Do you expect stones to be Chelsea player come the end of the transfer window?

Agree0 Disagree0

22 Aug 2015 22:10:05
Why do you post on here jets? You do not support Chelsea which is so transparent.

Agree0 Disagree0

22 Aug 2015 22:46:48
do you see us reconsidering Varane ed, considering the huge sums being mooted for stones? In my opinion Varane is the much better player.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed018's Note - not right now}

22 Aug 2015 01:17:26
Quick update from the post below

Lacazette is still a possibility - the club has asked Remy if he would be interested in going to Lyon. An issue remains that Lyon want two other players from Chelsea that the club has no wish to sell

discussions are continuing regarding where Manea will spend next season - he has just turned 18 so the deal is being completed. Cagliari's Godfred Donsah has been subject of two offers from Chelsea but it looks like he is heading elsewhere right now. After two rejected bids Chelsea have seemingly given up on bringing in another goalkeeper.

Believable6 Unbelievable1

22 Aug 2015 01:24:21
Can you tell us who the other two players are? How likely is the Lacazette thing to happen?

And what's going on with Pogba? Is there anyone else we might get if it falls through?

Thanks again and sorry for all the questions haha.

Agree1 Disagree0

{Ed018's Note - not important and actually you might be able to search the page and fine the answer. No way of measuring if any of these deals will happen}

22 Aug 2015 01:32:34
Okay Ed cheers, will just have to see what happens!

Agree0 Disagree0

22 Aug 2015 01:37:09
Thanks so much eds!

22 Aug 2015 03:00:08
Thanks for the update Ed018. Hopefully something happens in the coming days

Agree0 Disagree0

22 Aug 2015 04:22:02
omg if they can pull this off if we actually get pogba and dave is put back to the right with baba on the left and costa stays fit holy jesus lordy lord that team is scary good to have hazard and pogba in same team both so young even if he costs a bomb in 5 years we could name our price for both i'm so excited pleaseeeeee get it done ROMAN

Agree2 Disagree0

22 Aug 2015 04:33:15
Really_robbo, Lyon likely wanted Boga and Traore as they've expressed an interest in them before.

Agree0 Disagree0

22 Aug 2015 08:59:39
Thanks a bunch, Ed018! Great stuff, I love reading those kind of updates :-)

Agree0 Disagree0

22 Aug 2015 04:26:13
Ed018, do you know what's the pricetag Juve are looking for Pogba?

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed018's Note - no. Lets just assume it's a lot}

22 Aug 2015 09:58:04
Thanks Ed, even if we don't get Pogba but still end up with Stones, Baba, Pedro and Lacazette then what an upgrade that would be. Would happily see Remu, Caudrado, Moses and Mikel leave then. It's going to be an exciting week! 😀

Agree0 Disagree0

22 Aug 2015 10:43:25
Is there any update on stones? Or have we given up for the time being.

Agree1 Disagree0

22 Aug 2015 10:57:11

Screw you guys. You have gotten my hopes up for Pogba!

Ed2. I'm so sorry to keep asking but if there is any chance you could shed ANY light , I will post a song to you on youtube for you and link it here. I'm desperate

Believable0 Unbelievable2

{Ed018's Note - a special great from Ed002 - I will confirm that Chelsea, or in some cases, third parties, are looking to complete a number of transactions over the next 10 days. One of these is indeed Pogba who, as I previously explained, has been the subject of discussion for some months.}

22 Aug 2015 00:39:35
Could any light be shed on any of the transactions and whom they may involve.

Agree4 Disagree0

{Ed018's Note - Pogba for one. Griezmann as well}

22 Aug 2015 00:46:25
Wow. Our squad would be amazing if we could add those guys.Fingers crossed! Thanks for the info Ed018 and Ed002.
