R.E Hulk is the Valuation Porto have of the player way beyond way Chelsea are willing to go to ED? Porto are known to be hard to deal with {Ed002's Note - About 25% more.}

Believable2 Unbelievable0

I would guess they want around £50 Million and Chelsea may have offered around £37 £38 Million

Agree0 Disagree0

Well it was reported (unreliable sources) that we want to pay £30m and they are looking for £38m, which is close to 25%.
If that's the case i would suggest we play hard ball and try and get the player to force thru a move, i really do rate him. I obviously don't understand negotiations like Ed does so i dunno if anything i have put is even close to being true ha

Hi Ed i know you dont like doing this but PLEASE can you give me a percentage or some sort of indication if Fernando Torres will be at Chelsea next season ?

Also would you expect us to sign another striker to give him competition or partner him?

Thanks a lot!

Dan1CFC {Ed002's Note - I cannot do that. The transfer window is not even open.}

Ed, Gourlay has said Torres will be main man next season, but he also suggested another high scoring striker. Does this mean the efforts to bring in Falcao are true as the board look to exploit the fact Atletico don't own all of the player? Thanks again for the hard work Eds.

Prince {Ed002's Note - There is interest in strikers and Falcao is one.}

ED will someone from Chelsea speak directly with the player to sort some of the issues they have with him? {Ed002's Note - I assume you mean Hazard. There is only one person who has the concerns. We will see what happens.}

Too slow

Agree0 Disagree0

Maybe that's a good thing so Barca don't buy him back and he can be successful at Chelsea for years to come.

Agree0 Disagree0

Non of our midfield are fast so how's he to slow?

Agree0 Disagree0

Hes s**t
wat did he actually do?when he was playing we started to lose matches because he was picked over lamps

Agree0 Disagree0

He did look good - however, as Barca have a buy back clause we dont want him shining too much. Bring him along slowly over the next 2 years and hell work out well I feel. Speed isnt that important in his position.

Agree0 Disagree0

Romeu was never being picked over Lampard - Romeu is a HOLDING MIDFIELDER, which we only play 1 of in our formation, whether it be Mikel, Essien or Romeu. I expect these 3 to be challenging for that same role next season, and we won't be signing another deep-lying central mid

Midfield…

Our midfield is the area of the team that will see the most changes / new signings during the summer, and that’s when you consider that, arguably, our two best players this season have come from our midfield; Ramires and Juan Mata.

Benayoun, Miereles and Malouda will join Kalou out of the door at Stamford Bridge and Sturridge won’t be used out wide again next season, subsequently the attacking width in our team goes from being poor to pretty much non-existent. We all know Mata play better in a central position but I go back to the fact that our attacking midfielders, be it three or two, need to be flexible and have the ability to interchange in matches. That’s why I’m pleased to see us linked to Hazard and Lucas Moura linked to us, both can play on either wing or centrally; them plus Mata would cause massive problems for any opposition. Having said that I am concerned by the clear attitude problems that Hazard has, but he is still a young man and will hopefully grow out of any problems.

John Obi Mikel looked a new player under Di Matteo and the Champions League final was undoubtedly his best performance for Chelsea, despite that he will be behind Lampard, Ramires and another new signing next season; he should remain as an important part of the squad. The new central midfielder I’d expect to see would be Fernando, a young and disciplined holding midfielder who would be the perfect complement to the forwards runs of either Ramires or Lampard. Essien to see out the last year of his contract. I really hope Piazon is pushed straight into the first team squad next season, he is good enough already and doesn’t need to be loaned out.

De Bruyne and Davila to be assessed during pre-season prior to either going on loan or remaining as squad players. I’d like to see McEachran get a loan at a club where he may get some game time, Nathan Ake (can play in defence or midfield) to get a loan at one of our affiliated clubs in Holland. Lalkovic to get another loan until January. What do we do with Kakuta? He has been poor when on loan in the Premiership but was good in France for the second half of the season. I personally think he is living on the reputation he gained from the saga around his transfer and should be sold…but I think he’ll get next season as a squad player and hopefully prove me wrong.

Summer signings…Lucas Moura, Hazard, Fernando

Leave during the summer…Kalou, Malouda, Benayoun, Miereles

Loaned out next season…McEachran, Ake, Lalkovic, De Bruyne (maybe), Davila (maybe)

In squad next season…Lampard, Ramires, Fernando, Obi Mikel, Essien, Mata, Hazard, Moura, Piazon, Kakuta, De Bruyne (maybe), Davilla (maybe)

Surewould

Chesea Inns and outs.

Outs:Bosingwa(Released),Ferreira(Released),Kalou(Released),Malouda(5m),Drogba(Free),Essien(15-20m)

Inns:Marin(8m),VDW/Azpil.(?),Hulk(38m),Hazard(40m),Demba Ba(8m),Martinez(25m)

Lampard will sign a 1 year contract extension ..and no new pricey striker will be signed as Gourlay said:" Nando will lead the line next year" and we have to stay within the financial fair play rules.

Sturridge will move central to be a back-up for Torres along with Ba. Lukaku to go on a 2 year loan deal along with de Bruyne who will go on a one year loan deal to Lille if we sign Hazard.

Believable2 Unbelievable17

No ba

Agree0 Disagree0

Who else?

Agree0 Disagree0

I would like to see de bruyne for a bit at least half a season

Agree0 Disagree0

£15 - £20m for Essien? In our dreams!

Agree0 Disagree0

Without Demba Ba , and Martinez has a better chance of joining a manchester club.
Would go for porto's Fernando or Fellaini.
Lukaku and De bruyne would be best on loans as the reserve league isn't any competitive at all.

Agree0 Disagree0

To be a part of CFC future Sturridge would have to learn to be a better team player imho and convince the manager he is; not nearly there yet. RDM had worked that out re. not playing Sturridge in recent big games.

VBS

Agree0 Disagree0

I have to admit being a Man utd I don't feel we have a good chance of Hazard coming to us. I think you guys are the faverites chelsea, now saying that I know seems weird, believe me my own supporters insulted me. I feel though he would benefit the most from playing games, he would play the most with you. I think Nasri and Silva at city would be too much for him. Valencia , nani and young are of course stable we don't need to add. Plus fergie won't change his formation for an incoming player to play behind the striker. Chelsea have mata, malouda and sturridge, I feel this would be a great opportuinity for him to actually play every week. I think he would add quality, once he signs your empire will redevelop unfortunately.

Agree0 Disagree0

24 May 2012 16:51:26
In my eyes Neymar and Moura would be fantastic buys, however Moura is appearing to be very expensive. Bring in Neymar, Hazzard, hulk. Keep Torres as our main man and bring in players who can feed him through on goal. Both Neymar and Hulk can double up as wingers. Hazard is quality, but if he doesn't choose us the fair play, Neymar, Hulk, Mata, Marin, Struidge. They are top quality wide players and Mata can play the central role pulling the strings. Lampard, Mikel, Rami and hopefully Strootman or Fellanin can be our holding players. Lamps proved he can play this position very well in Europe, and now his that bit older should look to do it more often. Get a new RB and next year would be a extremely good year for us.
With already let 3 go, now just time for Malodua, mireiles, Essien and ferrieria to go too.
Also let the promissing youngsters get out on loan to get first team action. It's the end of a error, sad to see the old boys go, but its what the club needs. Get it right this summer and we've got a squad to last another 5 seasons before we need to spend big again.

Ps it's exciting listening to the transfer rumours, but we need to be careful not to break the Eds. Otherwise they will go on sponsored silence again like the last transfer window, not what we want peeps.

Bosingwa and kalou to be released. Hulk expressing his interest, I can seriously see him at Chelsea. How much? Arsenal, apparently interested in Hazard...? Seems unlikely, but a threat!

I know you usually don't like to talk money but I was wondering, do we get around 50m for winning whole champ league and then about 30m for being able to play in next years comp, I ask as wanted to know if roman was fringing money or we are being self surficient, next season I think will be brilliant with super cup, world club cup and charity shield coming to us before we take on league and FA cup
And retain out champ league {Ed002's Note - It doesn't work like that. Sorry.}

This is becoming hilarious, really. Yesterday IOC have revealed the three finalist to host 2020 summer Olympics. And i only heard about it on BBC. Noone seems to be interested, really.

At the same time Mr. Hazard has revealed three finalists for his signature next season. Them being us, and both mancs. I have never witnessed anything more stupid, or more "kardashian" in football in my entire life. He is just a fckng footballer and he thinks of himself like he is running for Downing 10, or smth. in that mold. Good God, let him go anywhere but SW6 next season, please.

24 May 2012 12:02:28
Is ganso trying to push for a move to Porto?

Devon. {Ed002's Note - He is injued right now but the situation with Ganso remains largely unchanged. He will be allowed to leave because Santos cannot get sufficient sponsorship to cover the costs of both him and Neymar. Ganso's preference is for AC Milan, or Barcelona if MIlan cannot facilitate a move. A 40M euro bid from Anzhi Makhachkala was rejected and Ganso made it clear, regardless of the efforts of Roberto Carlos, that his desire is Italy and preference is AC Milan. Milan do not have the money available to pay the full fee for GAnso and are to offer a straight exchange for Robinho. Ganso was not keen on a move to England so there remains very little chance that something can be done with Chelsea who had previously agreed a fee with Santos. There is also reported interest from Inter Milan, Real Madrid, Spurs, Manchester City and Manchester United. As an aside, Luis Alvero Ribeiro made a series of rather bizarre claims about his dream for Ganso (a) becoming part owned by another club who he will join after the Club World Cup (in December); (b) returning to Santos in June 2012 to play in the Olympics as a player of Santos; (c) returning to the other club in January 2013; (d) being sold for $200M in the summer of 2013. The other club is Porto - none of it will come to pass of course.}

Agree0 Disagree0

The club dont price the shirt it the fa governing body. They decide a set limit of the s**ts. at the moment its £50 normal shirt but can go as high as £77 with customisation. This is the same for every big club such as man u, man city and arsenal.

Demba Ba is refusing to negotiate a new deal at Newcastle and he apparantly has a release clause of 7 mill if a champions league team comes in.

Hi Ed002, Because Sao Paulo have come out (well their president) and said Chelsea have made this bid for 30 whatever million pounds. Isnt that just a way of getting other clubs to start bidding for Lucas as well? Also i know you have said that Inter and Real Madrid have an interest in him but you said Inter cant match our bid, so would you expect Real to put a bid in for him and could they match ours or any other club for that matter?

Thanks buddy!

Dan1CFC {Ed002's Note - Putting aside the money involved, it would be no surprise to see either Real Madrid bid or a part ownership deal be struck with Inter Milan.}

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Wagner Ribeiro claims Lucas is doing a Neymar and not interested in moving till the World Cup in 2014. Is this true Ed? Or a bluff? {Ed002's Note - You need to wait for any reliable news out of Brazil until around June 7 or 8 as I have previously said. Ribeiro will say what he choses because he wants the player to move to Inter on a third party ownership deal.}

24 May 2012 10:46:41
I think that since Chelsea put in a bid for Lucas Moura that Hazard will be going to United as he said that he would prefer United and It has gone quiet the last few days and suddenly we bid for Moura. Don't see us getting both so hope we get Moura

Ed002: a few questions for you: have porto told what they want foe hulk? I understand it is nowhere near his buy out clause, but is it anywhere near what we are willing to pay? Are there any talks between CFC and Porto?

Do we have interest in Micah Richards?

Are we willing to pay the Lille price for Hazard?are there any talks involving loan deals with them?

JG {Ed002's Note - The situation with Hulk remains unchanged. There were talks and there is a difference between what Chelsea will pay and what Porto want. I don't know that Richards would be available but there has been past interest. Azpilicueta remains foremost at this time. There has been no agreement with Lille by any club in respect of Eden Hazard. As far as Chelsea are concerned, the situation remains as explained. Lille are one of a number of clubs who have requested to take De Bruyne on loan.}

Believable0 Unbelievable0

If the bookies are anything to go by, which they not be: Sky sport betting has both Manchester clubs well ahead of CFC by clear margin for Hazard's sugnature. JUventus ahead of CFC for Cavani; CFC and Citeh equal favourites for Falcao; CFC equaly favourites (but longish odds) with LFC to sign Demba Ba -- VBS

Agree0 Disagree0

Porto are so easy to deal with, aren't they? Is it the same with Lille? I understand, that we have no problem with playees wages and agent fees and the actual transfer cost is what keeps us apart in Hazard situation, isn't it, Ed002?

JG {Ed002's Note - No.}

I think those of us who are saying to reject Eden hazard are a touch short sided. First off he's the most proven player of anyone we've looked at. He's won the young player of the year award twice as well as the ligue 1 player of the year twice. Compared to the brazilian league (Lucas) and Portuguese league (hulk) he sees greater competition. I understand the attitude issues are annoying but many players have crap attitudes. This week we have all been praising drogba but two years ago almost to the week he attempted to put his golden goal chances over our attempts at winning a league title. That's pretty appalling if you ask me. Yet we tend to look the other way in these instances and we would for hazard as well. Worst comes to worst we can sel him for a crapton and use it on his replacement.

New Signings:

CDM - Javi Martinez: We need a world class holding midfielder, a great young talent Think a move to Barcelona beckons though.

RW - Lucas Moura: Fantastic player. Prefer him to Neymar to with Neymar's attitude problem. More of a realistic target, I feel Hulk may arrive but I feel he is too over-rated.

LW - Hazard: One of the very best. Changes his mind everyday looks set for United I feel but we need a Ronaldo type player in the side desperately. Marin too be used as an impact sub and force his way into the side.

ST - Falcao: Offer Torres as a swap plus cash. Haven't had an out an out goalscorer for a while and this guy is one of the best. Had a superb Europa league final, needs a big club move. Sturridge as back up.

OUT:

Hilario - too old
Turnball - rubbish keeper. Get rid.
Ferreira - too old
Bosingwa - not consistent enough, Ivanovic is a great right back although doubts are he doesn't want to play there.
Essien - after injury never returned to the machine he once was. Sale could bring valuable money.
Kalou - not consistent enough. Released.
Malouda - too old, probably a move back to France.
Meireles - been average, not Chelsea quality.
Drogba - released. Cfc legend.
Benayoun - sold to arsenal.
Torres - swap with Falcao. Hope he regains form.

Loan: Lukaku, McEachran, Courtois

Keep Mikel been world class under Di Matteo.

Bit of a silly situation as Kalou is worth £10 mil of anyone's money, too good to be giving away for free! As much as I've criticised Bosongwa in the past, he has done us proud lately. Don't mind him leaving though I'll be honest!
