Ed do you see a reason why Chelsea weren't interested in Lewandowski?

I mean he's 24, already world class, nearing the end of his contract and according to dortmund's owner and director he will be signing for United in the summer.

This is the reason we won't win the league.

Lewandowski will most probably replace Hernandez who is looking for more first team football. United have four world class strikers - Van Persie, Rooney, Hernandez and Welbeck. City have four - Tevez, Aguero, Balotelli and Dzeko. We just have Torres.

And who will we sign? I no that Ambramovich will bring players in but they wont be good enough. Can you really see us signing Falcao? Torres is coming back to form, but we'll probably end up with Schurrle who isn't a world class striker he's more of a winger which we've got plenty.

I hope to god we sign Falcao but If we wanted someone cheap and world class we should've signed Lewandowski.

If Falcao doesn't move till the summer then the only strikers I would accept at Chelsea who we could probably sign are Llorente or Higuain.

What's your thoughts Ed?

BenCfcWxm {Ed002's Note - Dortmund's Lewandowski was watched last year by Liverpool, PSG, Real Madrid, Rubin Kazan, Manchester United, Spartak Moscow (who were concerned about losing Welliton), Juventus (albeit he is now far from first choice for them as they are closing in elsewhere), Arsenal and Lille. I very much suspect Bayern Munich would be top of the list with a cheque in hand should he not agree an extension at Dortmund, but Dortmund certainly do not want to sell him to BM. Chelsea have considered Lewandowski but I don't know of any bid being made and there would not have been a bid anywhere close to the 35M euro Dortmund valued him at in the sumemr. At present Dortmund and the player have been unable to reach agreement over a new deal and they probably won't. Whilst there is no agreement in place for him to join any other club, it is very likely he will move to Manchester United.}

I sincerely hope he doesn't move to United.

Ed002: Are we still working on bringing Schürrle to the club? Would Bayer getting Taison finally allow us to snap him up?

Also, i understand club wants to bring in Falcao and i'm pretty confident it will be done. But what's with Cavani? Is it the Napoli unwillingness to sell, his own unwillingness to move, a transfer fee or wages, that keeps him away from a transfer away?

JG
JG {Ed002's Note - Interest remains in Schurrle and Falcao. Cavani signed a new deal in teh summer. If he were to be sold now the amount Napoli has quoted is very high.}

Schurle is not a world class player

Ed02: Are Chelsea actually interested in David Villa? Seems odd. He's 31, has had bad injuries, won't be cheap? Isn't Demba Ba a better bet? {Ed002's Note - I don't think either are worth a wager.}

Any news on Walcott ED are we even interested? {Ed002's Note - From my perspective I still think that a new deal could be agreed at Arsenal and a new contract signed by Walcott. However, in January, if no deal has been agreed he will be able to talk with the likes of Juventus who have apparently shown tentative interest. There remains the thought that Liverpool or Chelsea would be interested in taking him, although they cannot speak to him before the end of the season without the club agreeing. Arsenal can easily stonewall a move in January so I don't know if Walcott will even be available for a move then - nor what other options he would have if he were. Deciding to leave Arsenal may not enhance his career, particularly if he wants to stay in England.}

Okay after a game I like to read what you guys have to say and honestly great posts and really nothing I can add. Was so excited yesterday that I watched the highlights of the game up to 5 times. Good christmas present from the team to us fans we really deserved it. Benitez has made some good decisions and they look to be paying off, we aren't perfect yet but you can see a massive change in the team and individual improvements as well. Looks like the lads believe again. Well let's hope we can carry this performance into the new year.

I wish a merry christmas to ED002,ED018, Melbourne, Roan, KTBFFH, Kevin, JM10, PR, Billy, JG, BLUEBOY, Surewould, Bas!c, IB, Peds, aL and to rest of you chelsea fans on here hope you all have a blast.

Up Chelsea!!

Hi Ed,

Are Chelsea actually interested in Assou Ekotto and Will Hughes or is it just more paper rubbish?

MB {Ed002's Note - I have no idea where the reported interest in Assou Ekotto but don't hold your breath about him arriving. As for the kid from Derby, the answer is I don't know. There is plenty of interest from clubs but any move now would see concerns that he could end up as another John Bostock, Scott Sinclair etc. as one loan turns in to another.}

I don't rate ekotto at all!

Hi ed002,
Do you know if Chelsea have any interest in Higuain for Jan?

Cheers & Happy Christmas to u all. {Ed002's Note - Unless Real Madrid can find a suitable replacement I don't see Higuain being made available - although Juventus are knocking on the door of Real Madrid.}

With current reports and rumours going around it would suggest that most likely Falcao and Willian are the two most likely signings to arrive in January.

Guillem Balague has stated that Falcao is most likely to now sign for Chelsea after spanish reports confirmed it in a 48 million deal.

According to the daily star and tribal football Willian will be the final signing of the spree after telling Shakhtar that he wants to leave to give himself a better chance of playing at the 2014 world cup for Brazil.

In:

Falcao
Willian

Out:

Sturridge
Malouda

The Daily Star and Tribal Football....says it all really!

Agree1 Disagree0

I can't see Willian joining. He's good, but we're flush with options in the AM area and even Oscar can't get a regular start at the moment. Willian would cost £25m, so would be an extremely expensive squad option.

Anyway, I suspect this is simply lazy journalism on the back of Willian saying this week that he wanted to join us in the summer.
