Hi Ed, is there any interest in mikel? Also is Aubameyang under consideration if Chelsea fail with their primary targets?

{Ed002's Note - Inter are interested in John Obi. After a year at Dortmund both Napoli and Chelsea enquired about Aubameyang's availability but were told he is not for sale.}

Ed I noticed on the Arsenal page that Omeruo may stay at the club next year if we cannot get our desired centre back (Varane). Is Omeruo seen as a more likely first team player than Zouma at the current time?

Sorry if it seems quite an open question as I know you say that players futures are not decided until they return to the club and are monitored, but thanks if you can give some sort of indication and no worries if not.

{Ed002's Note - No, but I rather think Zouma will go on loan. Omeruo needs to come down to earth a little, but I expect him to go on loan.}

When you say that Omeruo needs to come down to earth, is that in regards to his outspoken agent? Or something else?

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed002's Note - Him and his agent have far too much to say.}

OK thanks, I might read up about that a bit.

Hi ed, I understand you said that there is some interest from other clubs in lukaku. Would we be willing to sell him or is he part of chelsea's first team plans?

Believable1 Unbelievable6

{Ed002's Note - Right now Chelsea intend to sell him but efforts are being made by certain parties to change that decision.}

Any idea as to what Lukaku's preference is?

Agree1 Disagree0

{Ed002's Note - No, sorry.}

No worries, thanks for the input.

Hi Ed, I know a lot of names are banded about during the transfer window so I've avoided asking a question for awhile, but I was reading through the strikers you mentioned we were interested in and noticed that Jackson Martinez seems to have gone off the radar. I remember you saying before that there was a significant figure at Chelsea that remained unconvinced but that others within the club were interested in buying him. Is it still the case that there is interest in the player or are we now solely looking elsewhere?

Sorry for such a lengthily worded question as I know you are busy but thanks for any input you can provide.

Believable1 Unbelievable4

{Ed002's Note - Right now interest has moved on.}

OK thanks Ed.

I've just read a rumour about Thiago returning to the bridge from Athletico on a free contract this summer? Any truth or just social networking nonsense

Believable6 Unbelievable1

{Ed002's Note - I don't know but it was mentioned before. Age is against him but perhaps as midfield cover it would allow others to leave who Chelsea can get some money for - maybe.}

Hello Ed, any truth in the story going around about Tiago of Atletico coming back to chelsea?

Believable5 Unbelievable0

{Ed002's Note - I don't know but it has been mentioned before. It seems unlikely to me because of age etc. but for simply providing cover it does not seem out of the question.}

Hey Ed any chance we could trouble for that list today or you still snowed under with work? if busy will leave it until the weekend thanks fella take it easy.

Believable0 Unbelievable5

{Ed002's Note - Up to my neck in it right now but I can tell you there has been a formal approach from Dortmund for Lukaku.}

No worries Ed it can wait, Really that's interesting do you know what the clubs stance on that is? i.e were things not able to be resolved buy the player liason ? and I know you won't want to discuss the price which has been offered but are you able to tell us if it is just a cash offer or would they be prepared to offer player exchange? Thanks for taking the time to respond anyhow I appreciate it.

{Ed002's Note - There has not been an offer yet. It will need a discussion with someone who is in Spain at the moment.}

Oh right okay guess just have to wait and see what happens then ill let you get on with your work and try again at the weekend thanks again.

Ed u said our interest in Falcao has moved on, which I think has 2 do wit d injury he sustained. Will it also be case wit Costa? I just hope we sign Falcao as he's performed @ every club he's played and is d best box striker in d world.

Believable4 Unbelievable1

{Ed002's Note - You cannot rule him out - ideally, Chelsea would still like two of the three players I mentioned. I have also explained about other players the club have looked at.}

Diego Costa isn't injury prone, he picked up a hamstring injury which could happen to anyone and even though he missed several games he still scored 34 goals in la liga this season. Now Falcao on the other hand suffered anterior cruciate ligament damage to his left knee, considering his price tag and wages I would see signing him as a major risk. If we could sign Costa and Cavani, that would be Phenomenal.

Agree0 Disagree0

Well Costa has pulled that hamstring 4 times this season so it is a reoccurring thing still great player though and Falcao has suffered a more serious injury has you mentioned however if he gets back to his old form he truly is world class
