What is the latest on the Hulk and Cavani situation ? {Ed018's Note - There is no latest right now. We will see how this goes as the week goes on. I expect a big push for one of them}

Not especially looking forward to the break from the epl, our next game is in 3 weeks On one hand it would be good if mata gets a break ( but how much will he get?) & it would be good for confidence if we could pick up our 1st trophy of the season. On the other hand tho Torres is getting sharper & looking hungrier every game. From past history we know he doesn't do well with this stSrt stop thing. I could be worrying about nothing ( I hope I am ) he'll play nxt Friday but not sure he will start for Spain. Need to keep this confidence going. On another note my favourite thing about the 1st half today was the togetherness we showed on the pitch. Everyone celebrating together with the goals & working hard for each other. It's like the days of Jose. With better football. One more signing in & if we start playing for the whole 90 mins then this really could be a magical season

I think Mikel did well today, albeit a very good Toon side, but shd be more 'in charge'. Good game overall, though we didn't create much after the hour mark.
Bas!cs.
Mikel did not have a good game.. he had an average game.. for a DCM he is terrible!!
^^^^^ clearly wasnt watching the right game

Just thinking if Drogba hadn't gone yet then WOW him and Hazarad that's fantasy football. Still now we have a Full on powerful Torres I hope he keeps this consistency the lad needs it. Can't be happier than our start to the league.
Cheers J.
In all honesty with the flair we have now i think torres is the better option over drogba because mata, oscar, hazard and marin arent the sort of players that will just punt the ball in the box and hope someone headers it

Just seen the team line-ups and i wonder why Meireles is in the starting line-up. I would have preferred Oscar to start. What's everyone else think?
I think he is a 20 yo kid who has little PL experience and this is a big game.Later in the game he will get more time and space.
Agreed. Meireles is a good player on his day and we're 2-0 up at half time so i'm happy with the team!
I think many people are failing to understand the significance of having a squad, its not all guess work by RDM and that's why he is in charge. Mikel, Meireles, they are all part of our squad and today's success justifies their inclusion.
Now sit back and cheer on the mighty blues.
Bmac
Leave it to the manager he knows what hes doing...2-0
Meireles was a beast tonight.mikel also was superb.am loving this new look chelsea
Beachcuiser
I only asked as I think he's surplus to requirements and therefore instead of playing someone who might leave before the window closes, playing someone who will feature more often this season. Thereby giving them more experience and more opportunity to gel as a team.
I don't think mireles should leave, but I do think Essien should be shipped out. Mireles still has a lot to give...
Its not a question of if he's leaving or surplus to requirements or not, he is still a chelsea player and the manager will pick the team to win the game regardless. unless someone puts in a decent bid he will stay at the bridge
25 Aug 2012 14:46:49
Unrealistic, so not even going to ask ed's of the possiblty, but wouldnt mind sturridge leaving if we brought in Hernandez and hulk.
Dan73
Wouldnt worry about hernandez mate i doubt he will be sold atleast not in this window anyway
curt
25 Aug 2012 13:11:33
If Sturridge were to leave, would we try and buy 2 strikers? Or would someone like Piazon come up through the youth team? {Ed018's Note - doubtful, it's gonna be challenging enough to bring in one striker.}
Hasnt piazon been named in our 24 man squad for this season anyway?
curt
Piazon isn't a striker. He's an attacking midfielder.
I know but they asked if piazon would come through the youth team
curt
I don't think he needs to be named.
IB.
Piazon does not need to be named in the squad in order to play as far as I know.
Melbourne CFC
Piazon is midfielder not striker.

Hi eds just a quickie do you know what numbers Moses and apilzceta will wear for Chelsea
Thanks for all your great work there are even more exciting times ahead for Chelsea I feel and I love this time of year when all the transfer gossip is flying around. I will be sad to see Sturridge go to liverpool as I think he has so much potential but I understand the kid wants to play regular football, but be a shame to sell him to the scousers.
cavani or hulk (not expecting both) would be a great edition and look forward to the next couple of days up until the close of the window
Thanks again for all your hard work
Carefree_Jonesy
KTBFFH {Ed002's Note - No idea, sorry.}
I reckon Azpilcueta number 13 and Moses number 25
25 Aug 2012 13:31:54
if malouda was to leave would he be placed with another signing? thnks ed!
wheelycfc {Ed018's Note - doubtful, we have already brought in quite a few attacking mids}
25 Aug 2012 13:03:31
Chelsea will sign Nikola Aksentijevic from Partizan for 2mil (he is right back,very fast but he dont have good ball control and passing).He will be on loan in Vitesse cuz of work permit.
If he doesn't have good ball control or passing why would we sign him ?
Clearly just been looking at his stats on fifa
As a PFC fan I'm very surprised with your comment because of two reasons. First, the boy is enormously talented right defender, very fast, technically and physically exceptional and attractive,too.It's really insane to say he doesn't have good ball control and passing!?? Actually, what does it mean? The ball looser,ah-ah-a!? No, no, the boy is playing very confidently and Chelsea is not only club that is interested in him.Zenit, CSKA,Bayern, BorusiaD.,Betis,Roma,Inter...making lineup,so...
Second, I don't believe that his price is only 2 mil. euros!/ Transfermarkt is sheety predictor that underestimating Eastern Europensans. As I know, his price is about 8-10 mil. euros (CSKA openly offered for him 7 mil. euros to PFC. PFC even didn't want to negotiate in this price range. Avram grant was a Couch of Partizan and he is best informed about the boy, him and Lazar Markovic.Both of them are really great talents and I wouldn't be surprised if both are seen in Chelsea soon.So....
25 Aug 2012 01:27:53
Just wondering if we have any interest in any strikers from Ligue 1, or is it still Cavani, Hulk, Schurlle?
Thanks (also Keep up the good work ED018 luv you) {Ed018's Note - i'm unaware of any. and let me say right now that i am a man.}
Is Jovetic still being looked at ed018? And a damn fine man at that!
Melbourne CFC {Ed018's Note - it's something we may have to re-visit here shortly, but Juventus and City are also interested in him}
I'm a man too, thats the beauty of it :D {Ed018's Note - scary. haha}
I know ed002 doesn't talk prices and honestly I don't really care but he would be worth around 25?
Melbourne CFC {Ed018's Note - i would think aorund there}
Ed dont you appreciate the man love ;)
curt {Ed018's Note - not really my thing}
Cheers mate for the quick replys. If cavani fails through can we go back for Higuan and tell RM we will stay out of Cavani? Ha. Why is Jovetic not seen as badly needed as the others?
Melbourne CFC {Ed018's Note - not sure that the offer for Higuain is still there. Madrid seem pretty content going forward with Higuain and Benzema at the moment. there is still interest in Jovetic but Cavani is the one Chelsea want}
Do city want Cavani as well?
25 Aug 2012 11:26:07
Eds, is it true we have reached an agreement with porto for hulk and all what's left are the 3rd parties?
Thank you
25 Aug 2012 11:20:32
Hi Ed
Do you think we would still be looking at neymar or ganso when they become availiable?
thanks
j
Neymar yes. Ganso not so much I would have thought.
IB.
Ganso's stock has dropped dramatically and Oscar took his spot. We now have Oscar so I do not think we have any interest in Ganso's whatsoever.
The neymar questions have been done to death, he is staying at santos til after world cup most probably. His deal with santos nets him around $15m a year, and has resulted in the women's league being shut down. Do not expect to see anything on neymar bar rumours for a while.
Please please please people its these questions that frustrates the eds. use the search function (it works) and scroll down and see if what you want to know has already been asked.
Melbourne CFC {Ed018's Note - Good too see you back Melbourne}
Mate I've been on consistently but can't be bothered posting. Transfer window tends to attract very impatient people. I'm getting pretty stoked for the season, see us finishing 2nd behind city. What's your thoughts on how the league table will pan out ed018?
Melbourne {Ed018's Note - i see us definitely in the top 3, but were will depend on many variables. it's gonna be a fun and interesting season to watch our new players develop. lets just hope Torres can keep banging in the goals}
Mate I am confident he will bang in 15-25 but the beauty is the goals we will get from the midfield and strangely as always our defence chims in.
Melbourne CFC
25 Aug 2012 11:09:33
Ed,sorry to be a pain,in your opinion do you feel another player will be in before the end of transfer day,regards blue man {Ed002's Note - Probably.}
25 Aug 2012 11:00:17
Hi ed002 welcome back a few questions for you.1) has there been any break through regarding us buying a striker? 2) are liverpool interested in daniel sturrigde? 3) are we interested in buying another centre midfielder? Thanks! {Ed002's Note - I have no interest in answering questions at this time. It is not worth the problems with the cowards that post abuse. Sorry.}
Ok fair enough ED but can you tell us are there still efforts being made to sign a striker? {Ed002's Note - There are.}
If you can't be bothered ed why bother to reply at all {Ed002's Note -Just to piss off the cowards like you who are MF trolls.}
25 Aug 2012 10:56:31
think out chances of signing Hulk are over now as we signed moses as a Right winger. Hulk probably wouldve had the right wing spot and covered striker. Im guessing we will go for an out and out striker now.
ChelseaL
Dont mean anything mate di matteo made it clear moses is a squad player
curt
25 Aug 2012 10:35:35
Sturridge will leave for the pool and Hulk will come in.
Which one again leaves us with one out and out striker and hulk as cover. Does that not leave us in the same position of only having 1/2 strikers?
Melbourne CFC
25 Aug 2012 10:19:22
Its worth taking a look at the ages of the current players and also the requirements of the EPL in terms of home grown players.
The signing of Moses means, I think, that
Turnball, Terry, Cahill, Cole, Bertrand, Moses, Lampard and Sturridge make up the 8 English trained players required so unless we only name 24 in our over 21 age squad no one of thees players will be on the way out . That is of course we let one go and sign another that qualifys although looking at the sort of players we are talked about signing none appear to fulfil the requirements
Make of that you will. {Ed002's Note - None of the three players who are likely to leave are homegrown.}
25 Aug 2012 10:05:24
ED002, welcome back! Are Chelsea interested in Hernandez? {Ed002's Note -
25 Aug 2012 09:47:46
hi ed if sturridge goes to liverpool we just have torres when are we gonna sign a striker? carPetman {Ed002's Note - Soon.}
So ed is there a probable chance sturridge will leave?
Melbourne CFC {Ed002's Note - No, possible only.}
25 Aug 2012 08:24:44
united have got henriquez could we go for hernandez .thanks edd
25 Aug 2012 02:43:54
hi ed, could you perhaps do a list of strikers that the club will be willing to pay for beacuse personally i cant see us going for the likes of cavani or hulk again not until january at least cheers man :)
J.Hernandez
G.Higuin
Rvp
Walcott
Moses carPetman
Honestly carpetman where do you get this rubbish from
curt
Curt you are one of the problems ED002 has stopped posting. That is carpetmans opinion if you don't like it fair enough. We are all Chelsea fans can we stop getting on each others backs. I haven't posted in so long as I use the search function but checking everyday and seeing ED002 our best and most reliable source still isn't back fully makes me fill with rage due to the abuse that is posted. The guy takes time out his real life to keep us updated so please give it a rest. The window shuts on Friday then everyone will know our exact squad.
Can't wait until your fully back ED002, your stand in ED018 is doing a great job.
Beedy192 CFC { {Ed018's Note - I'm not really a stand in. I've been on this site for over a year. I just usualy don't have as much time to help out, but now that they made it possible to edit from my phone i've been around much more. }
Beedy the reason ed stopped posting is because someone gave him s**t saying hes useless and what not so get your facts right
apart from anything else his list is rubbish hernandez wont join higuain wont be sold van persie has gone to man united walcott is not a striker and is discussing a new deal with arsenal and we have signed moses so tell me how him claiming there the people were looking at isnt rubbish
curt
Alright curt i know periods are hard to deal with but no need for so much hostility!
25 Aug 2012 02:25:10
Leandro Damiao, Chicarito, Lewandowski or Soldado for the striker post we desperately need to fill

Hey Ed - is there a possibility that Chelsea will not sign a striker seeing as talks are always being stalled or is a striker definitly coming to Chelsea before the transfer window shuts
24 Aug 2012 20:39:42
