Also ed002 pls tell me we ain't signing falcao? He played for Porto in a shockingly poor league and a shockingly poor cup We need lukaku and neymar and pls don't say there young because it's all about youth right now Look at arsenal they played the best football last year and it was all about the young players How old do you have to be to get inthe first team now 26?? Do you remember when scholes, beckham, Neville, giggs started and utd won everything with them?? {Ed002's Note - Maybe yes, maybe no.}

Hey Ed,

I know you have profundity in all the football stuff so you have to please answer this. Alex Sanchez has recently quoted that he will only move to Barca or stay at Udinese if club does not except the offer from Barca(which i hear is less that the release clause in the contract and also less that what City or Chelsea are offering). Now if player does not want to move and still a very good offer comes from the other club, can club still push for the sale? Or do the club have to bend to the players wish and sell him for less price? Or just keep him at the club? Doesnt club have to power to override the player and push to do sell to the highest bidder?

Thanks,
B {Ed002's Note - There is no secret answer to your question. Forget the press, forget what you hear. It may or not happen. I can tell you a little but maybe no more.}

Ed002 you quoted a couple weeks back that after some deliberation neymar will join Chelsea Just wondering if you feel the same? Also what has happened with the lukaku and de bruyne deal? It's all gone quiet Your a Chelsea fan yourself ed002 ain't you? Don't you also get frustrated that Chelsea never make quick signings , like man utd have signed 3 already and they'll be training and getting use to playing and gelling with each other? Are we gonna start to buy again in the last closing minutes of the transfer window because it's always the same Or is it that we are trying to get these players in early but they just don't want to play for us because we ain't a big club really , just a club that has a bit of money?? I understand the window don't open till July 1st but other teams are making progress and we're back here again Ed002 the best news I heard all year is we might be getting rid of malouda There is a god then Loooool the paceless wonder Loooooooool ed002 if you could try to clear up these matters for me pls Oh yh and I think they should promote you to ed007 because you move like James bond sometimes Loooool {Ed002's Note - Clearly I lost track as the orange sunshine kicked in - but I exept that summer wil last for a while, and maybe Neymar will join.}

So it seems like Zahavi done a good job when meeting Neymar's reps, apparently hes going for another meeting soon. is this true? {Ed018's Note - yes}

When was this meeting ED that went well today? { Ed018's Note- im not exactly sure the next time that there will be talks. I believe soon. Ed002 had mentioned it earlier today. look through the posts}

Not the next meeting i mean the meeting that has already taken place if it went well it would put us in a better position the others. { Ed018's Note - yea if it went well we'd be in a good position, this whole thing with Neymar is not gonna be easy to resolve and please dont read into that to much. just gonna take time.}

Hey ed, i just heard that apparently one of Sanchez's Udinese team mates has said that Sanchez's characteristics are better suited for the premiership....do you think this could show that maybe Sanchez may move to chelsea/man city or not? {Ed018's Note - Sanchez will make up his own mind on where he wants to play.}

You're from America right ED018? are Chelsea well known in the States? {Ed018's Note - yes im from America. I'm sure they are for people who really follow football but obviously it's not one of the bigger sports over here. I am very fortunate that we have a group of about 20 Chelsea supporter that go up to the bar right up the street from me. They take care of us up there since we are there quite frequently. So it makes it all more enjoyable}

Cool, But i take it from the prem Man Utd and Liverpool are more well known then us there for having American Owners and Lebron James having a stake in the club. { Ed018's Note - Probably United is. I do happen to see more United t-shirts or kits on people than anything else.}

ED018 When do you think clubs will speak to Neymar or his reps? will a decision be made before the Copa America? {Ed018's Note - Chelsea can't talk to Neymar until July 1st, and with the Copa America starting i dont think he will talk to anyone until after. Chelsea have already been in contact with Santos and Neymars agent}

Oh right, but talks can take place with his reps and agents whilst he is playing in the copa america? Also do you think he will hold talks with Anzhi and Man City? But where do you think he will end up ED018? { Ed018's Note- I still think it' will be between Chelsea and Real Madrid if he decides to leave.}

Ed, what bid can you confirm chelsea have made? I know it's a tedious question and some stuff is nonsense but I would just like to know to show any indications of potential players at chelsea.

Also I heard this story awhile ago about neymar being sponsored by a supermarket? And that for legal reasons he couldn't move? What do you know about this?

thanks {Ed018's Note - never heard about any supermarket story.}

ED002 so what happens now with Neymar his agents and reps hold talks with all 5 clubs and then whichever team offers the best for him he will move there? I think it is only between Chelsea and Real IMO Will this be resolved before the Copa America? {Ed002's Note - No of course that is not what will happen. Don't discount Barcelona or Inter, and as I have said, one or perhaps two clubs will be discounted immediately with no discussions taking place. And don't be misled about the price or anything else. We will see.}

is it likely for McEachran to go out on loan this year and if it is where is his likely desitination and for a 6 month loan or full season?

Ed, I took some time to check out some clips of Alexis Sanchez. Wanted to see what all the fuss was about, and man I can see why most of europe are looking to land him. My question is, is there any truth in Andrea Villas Boas selecting him as one of his main transfer targets? If your not 100 perscent then I'de rather you just said, but if the rumours are correct, well then im guna be one excited Chelsea fan my friend.

BluekING {Ed002's Note - I have explained the situation with Sanchez on many occasions particularly with respect to January. I have also explained that Chelsea are to make another bid.}.

Why would he want to go to them anyway? {Ed002's Note - They are what you might consider to be the Russian Manchester City, or the Russion Malaga, who are themselves the Spanish Manchester City. Anzhi has Roberto Carlos on their books and have recently bought Dzsudzsak.}

Hearing rumours that santos president said that 5 clubs have met the realease clause for neymar. Believed to be barca Chelsea man city Madrid and one more. Any truth in this? I have my doubts considering barca are meant to had a budget of 40 million and they also going for fabregas ad Sanchez. I feel we will lose out in neymar race {Ed002's Note - The report does not tell quite the whole story. The only club to have offered the full amount that I am aware of is Anzhi Makhachkala, although it is possible that Manchester City may have made some sort of offer as well. I don’t see either as viable destinations. Certainly neither Chelsea nor Real Madrid have matched the asking price, but Chelsea, and I suspect Real Madrid as well, has agreed to a couple of specific requests that have been asked of them by Santos. One request was that any club entering negotiations must do so with an "open heart" and must give consideration to the specific wishes of the player. I expect all of this is leading back to the issues we have discussed previously, including the World Club Championship and some extortionate personal demands. Santos is in a difficult position financially and would need to gain sponsorship to pay the wages of Neymar and Ganso, and they also need an income. It means that at least one will likely be sold this summer. The "story" also over plays the ability of clubs to talk to the player himself. However, the Chelsea "contingent", who are in Aspen right now, will probably be heading back to South America later today – at least that was the plan late last night. If Barcelona is one of the clubs involved, any proposal they have to pay the fee will be complicated and spread over time. This is all I know at the moment about this.}

Ed, I posted the last comment about us lacking in the attacking department. In relation to your answer, would you really feel that one would be enough, ok yer I believe it ud also help if we did get Sanchez ect ect. But say it was Pastore we bought for Lampards replacement and he gets injured say 2 games or so into the new season, we'd be bk to square one wouldnt we with just Benayoun and the ever so past it Lampard. I dont believe one is enough m8 were guna be going for 4trophies after all and we need a big squad with lots of attacking quality. I guess we will see tho.

ED018 have you heard anything on Neymar interest from Madrid and Chelsea seems to have cooled? {Ed018's Note - the interest hasnt cooled. Chelsea will go back with another offer for him. I have no idea were Madrid stand at this point. Either way more than likely nothing will be resolved until after the Copa America.}
