Ed002, you have said we have no interest in Hulk right now, do you see us having any interest in him, in the future? Thanks. {Ed002's Note - I really don't know.}

Hi ed first things first, is Seydou Doumbia a target and is interest strong in him? he is young and pacey and efficient infront of goal, not a very modest guy(talks himself up alot) but would be a great signing in my opinion.


Secondly if De Bruyne were to be bought what position would he play; left wing to free up Mata for the middle or play inn the middle himself?

Thirdly I dont believe in this nonsence that Torres will be "swapped" for 3 barcelona youngers but i have heard that a different deal involving an exchange or Torres for Pedro, which is more believable, any truth to it?

Finally what players will be going on loan to Dijon as you have mentioned that Kakuta and Lukaku will/may be going there, could McEachran go there or maybe Piazon or Etock or Davila?

Thanks for your time and knowlledge {Ed002's Note - There was an enquiry from Newcastle about Doumbia and it is likely if there is another team who have actually enquired it will be Arsenal. No doubt others have had scouts at games but that is some way from making any serious enquiries for the player. Doumbia does a good job of talking himself up and CSKA will likely want £25M or so for the player. Getting through to the last 16 of the Champions League makes a January move less likely. De Bruyne would become a predominently left-sided squad player - assume him to be a replacement for Malouda if you will. There is no exchange between Barcelona and Chelsea for Torres. It is the Day of the Innocents in Spain and practical jokes are played. You should not trust everything you read. Kakuta is going to Dijon but no one else at this time. McEachran will go to Swansea or possibly Villa or Fulham. Etock and Davila are already out on loan.}

ED02 Hulk has said he would like to join up with AVB at chelsea is there any chance we could move for him? {Ed002's Note - I don't see Porto wishing to sell in January, so no it is very unlikely.}

So Ed, could it be a very unlikely possiblility that he could move in the summer to Chelsea?

PR! {Ed002's Note - I have no idea.}

We are sturggling for CM's with the system we play. WHY let mceachran go. Quality passer can't wait for him to be one of the CM's in the world.

Is he pretty much gone to swansea, what a good team for him. {Ed002's Note - He needs experience and he won't get that sat on the bench at Chelsea. He will go to Swansea or Aston Villa - Fulham is a less likely option.}

Hey Ed, My three sources tell me that the Torres swap is very much alive, with a deal looking to be completed by the start of January with the 3 young Barca players.
HOWEVER this is NOT 100% confirmed!
And this is by no means a done deal!

Any thoughts Ed? Thanks {Ed002's Note - Your three sources and you have I guess all been taken in. It is the Day of the Innocents in Spain - when pranks are played on the gullible. Like April 1.}

Like the eds post

Gullible like when we spent 50 million on Torres you mean.

any truth to the 3 barca youngsters for Torres swap?

Just read this story myself... Torres expected in Barcelona this afternoon and Roberto, Cuenca and Montoya due her Saturday with Romeu playing a huge role in convincing them...
With them being a Mid, Wing and RB id snap Barcas hands off for this deal and could explain Emenalo's recent trips to Catalunia??
Any info from yourself?? {Ed002's Note - Not just now.}

I haven't seen this rumour, but with Villa out injured for the rest of the season, this might not be as daft as it might initially seem. Come on Ed, give us your thoughts?!

Have heard the same rumour, if we get Higuain I can see it happening will benefit all parties.

Its spanish april fools story

This isn't true is it ed?

PR!

If it is to be believed it sounds like Hulk wants to move to Chelsea to work under AVB again. Nice to hear big name players wanting to move to Chelsea again. Hope this one does happen as he is ideal for our team and the epl.

Possible ins:-
Cahill - £7mil + Josh on loan
Hulk - £35mil (ish)
De Bruyne - £12mil
Krasic - Loan
New RB - ????

What are your thoughts on the latest hulk story ed? Could a Chelsea move be in the pipeline? {Ed002's Note - I don't know of any Hulk story, sorry.}

28 Dec 2011 00:11:53
ed, do you know of any current interest in Hulk? {Ed002's Note - Yes, PSG.}

27 Dec 2011 21:33:21
hey ed is there any interest in Dede of Vasco de Gama? {Ed002's Note - Both Milan clubs, Fiorentina, Benfica and Roma have shown an interest in Dede.}
