Seen your previous answer on Bruma of Sporting when you wrote there's a lot of interest in him, but my question is: Is it dead on he'll move in the summer? {Ed002's Note - How can I possibly answer that?}

Sorry. What I meant was. Is he LIKELY to move/would Sporting accept a bid for him if suitable or are they absolutely against him moving?

Ed do you know if Chelsea has an interest in the Danish talent Viktor Fischer? {Ed002's Note - Viktor Fischer is subject to interest from Milan, Manchester United, Manchester City, Hamburg and Werder Bremen. Ajax is negotiating a new contract with him and I would not expect a move in the summer.}

Hi Ed I've used the search engine but I can't find anything, do Chelsea maintain any interest in Robert Lewandowski?
Cheers {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 they have another player for the summer instead), Arsenal and Lille. 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 last summer. 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 in the summer although there remains lingering interest from Bayern Munich. Arsenal were represented at a fairly recent game in Stuttgart and I suspect Lewandowski was of interest to them.}

Have seen Derbys' chief coach Jonny Metgod monitoring progress of Nathan Ake with view to season long loan next year.

Would be good move for the boy, get plenty of playing time instead of reserves and occasional 1st team squad. Derby have great training facilities and good set up for him to prosper!

Hi Ed02,
Do you expect a new center midfielder or center defensive midfielder will join chelsea this summer? Are chelsea actively looking for it?
Thanks {Ed002's Note - Chelsea has looked at a couple of midfield palyers.}

Hope one or more of these players will arrive. thanks Ed, really appreciate it
SEA Blue {Ed002's Note - I suspect it will wait until the new manager arrives.}

Its a tough position because Chelsea has a lot of good youth players in that position to buy a player could be detrimental to there development and breaking though

Yes I agree it is a difficult one, its obvious we are lacking in that area and it has cost us over the past 2 seasons but I hope romeou gets a chance next season possibly one powerfull signing. I think luiz's long term future has to be in midfield.

Id agree Luiz is better suited for Mid, but I also feel a bit of change in formation wouldn't be a bad idea to a 4 -3-3

Luiz has hardly put a foot wrong this season and all this talk of playing him here there and every where does my head in, why don't we play cech up front as he is tall and may get a header or two. Utter b*******!

Luiz is a central defender end off. Just because he can do a job in midfield doesn't make him the answer to our problem. So glad none of this lot are managers, they'd ruin players and clubs.

Luiz would be very good in the midfield but he's on the verge of being special as a centre half. As a centre half he can play balls that many midfielders wouldn't dream of playing and he also has a knack for dictating the tempo of the team if its too slow. you combine this with his fantastic ability to read the oppositions movements and make tons of interceptions. Then you throw in the fact that he has fantastic closing speed and is very capable in the air and you have yourself the making of a very good centre half.

are chelsea interested in son heung-min ed002? {Ed002's Note - A number of clubs have been looking at Hamburg's Heung Min Son for the past year. Certainly Spurs, Liverpool, Arsenal, Sunderland, Lille and West Ham have had him watched on more than one occasion leading up to the end of last year and Spurs had a bid turned down in January. Since the New Year some interest has been shown by Dortmund, Manchester United, CSKA Moscow and Chelsea, who would ideally look to a deal that sees a player included as part of an offer. Hamburg would like to keep him but I expect him to move in the summer, but a move to Chelsea or Manchester United could see him sat on the bench and that may not be what he wants. Dortmund or Spurs might be the best compromise for him but a recent enquiry from Dortmund has seen a much higher asking price than expected put on the player.}

Who the player in question be Bruma moving the other way ed002? {Ed002's Note - That was the original plan.}

Hi Ed, Is there any interest from the Premier League in either Ishak Belfodil or Ryad Boudebouz?

Thanks Bro. {Ed002's Note - Belfodil was subject to a bid from Juventus in January and has been a player Arsenal and Fulham have both watched this season. Ryad Boudebouz was expected to leave Sochaux last summer with Real Betis and Lyon showing an interest and Liverpool asking to be kept informed of anything that happens. There appears to be no interest aside from Lille and Marseille right now.}

Thanks Ed.
