With our current striker situation i can see a last gasp effort to sign Loic Remy from France, already done business with the club, last year of contract, any chance ed? {Ed018's Note - there's a chance but wouldn't be first choice. I'm quite suprised how quiet it was been the last two days regarding a striker}

Believable3 Unbelievable3

Come on ED018 we were never going to sign Cavani it was a pipe dream,But i really do hope we do sign 1 or 2 players baffles me why we do not try and sign M'vila absolute bargain {Ed018's Note - ive heard of no interest in M'vila. i agree he would be a good buy, but we are not lacking players in that position.}

Agree0 Disagree0

I totally were not lacking players but we are definately lacking quality, we didnt lack so called strikers or attackers last year but weve bought and replaced them. M'Vila is a stud, he would be a great purchase.

PB

Agree0 Disagree0

Remy is not Chelsea class

Agree0 Disagree0

Deadline day madness thats probably what it will come down to : )

Agree0 Disagree0

I agree he aint chelsea class, spoken from a true fan

Agree0 Disagree0

Chelsea are renowned for keeping there business hush untill its done something is definatly going on remy is what we need doesnt threaten torres ,better than sturridge, hes quick, good with the ball and exellant in the air 37 goals in all competitions last year cant be that bad

Agree0 Disagree0

Hi ed a lot of talk about essien being sold would it not be better to loan him out to see if his fitness can improve , I would hate to sell him and see him back to his best . {Ed018's Note - seems unlikely to loan him out}

Believable2 Unbelievable5

Fenabache haven't qualified for champs league so can't afford Essien now.

Agree0 Disagree0

Wages are too high for a loan dealon Essien

Agree0 Disagree1

29 Aug 2012 20:19:52
I think the closest striker we are to signing is Shurrle. He is 21 so he wouldn't neccesarily be completely introduced to starting 11 football. Giving Torres a chance. He is young which fits into our 'policy' and very talented

Believable10 Unbelievable1

I hope so............But he isn't available.

BlueFox

Agree0 Disagree0

Everyone has their price!

Agree0 Disagree0

I've never seen Schurle play. Anyone have any comments?

Agree0 Disagree0

Have a look on youtube mate

Agree0 Disagree0

I have seen You tube videos showing a compilation of his best bits. I was wondering about his football brain, awareness, style, passing, interaction, dropping off etc. I could make a you tube video that makes Andy Carroll look world class! Lol!

The Metro newspaper has recently posted that Chelsea will make a name your price offer to Napoli for Edinson Cavani as a replacement for Daniel Sturridge. Michael Essien is said to be moving to Fenerbahce after 7 years at the club. We are supposed to be after Mapou Yanga-Mbiwa too.

Hi Eds,

Great site here.

A question more than a rumour.
Voller says schurrel is not for sale as its to little time to get a replacement.
Would Chelsea consider a 20£ million bid and Sturridge on loan ( in leverkusen ) for a season to land him?
Sturridge could get first team football there and make a good name for himself , therefore Chelsea could cash in on him next year, and get the 25£ mill they want for him aswell as getting schurrel ( which seems to be there target ).

Any ideas?

Good luck with the next two days I'm sure you'll be busy with a bunch of questions, aswell as the the weekend with the why didn't we buy him questions.

Thanks {Ed018's Note - while a scenario like this looks good on paper, it's a very unlikely scenario}

Believable0 Unbelievable2

Sturridge's contract expires in July 2013 so we wouldn't be able to cash in on him unless he is sold now or in January.

Agree0 Disagree0

Ok thanks for clearing that up I thought it was 2 years left.
Cheers

Agree0 Disagree0

Any loan on Danny has zero advantage unless he signs a 4/5 year deal!

Agree0 Disagree0

29 Aug 2012 17:28:26
hi ed are chelsea interested im m'vila? the quoted price of 12 mil seems to be a bit of a steal! {Ed018's Note - doesn't appear so}

Ed018 is there a possiblity that Chelsea could sign a world class striker? P.s Sorry if this has been answered already Cheers {Ed018's Note - Yea we've gone over the striker situation quite extensively}

Believable2 Unbelievable3

Come on Ed... It's only been discussed since like.. June! You can't expect people to actually notice that!!

£35m? We'd be lucky. More like £45m. Moyes paid like £15m for him and he always sells at least three times higher. He's a proper class act but can't see it happening.

Believable2 Unbelievable5

Is this about Fellaini? I don't think it would be that high. I doubt we'd even pay 35m for him considering we wont pay that for the strikers we're after.

I personally think Chelsea will sign Andre Schurrle and Hulk has both of them play on different wings but also can play the central striker position, This would mean it would enable both of them Game Time, keeps Torres happy and gives us cover up front if Torres or Danny gets injured.

Believable4 Unbelievable15

So then what happens to hazard, mata, marin, oscar, moses.they will compete for one spot in the front three. some people on here are so stupid it amazes me.

cali

Agree0 Disagree0

And what... Mata, Marin, Hazard and Oscar start a new club so they can get a game?

Agree0 Disagree0

Andre Schurrle more or less done deal Hulk tomorrow

Loic Remy will join Chelsea before the deadline. Was told this last week and today French Radio station RMC (Usually very reliable) are all over the story

Believable7 Unbelievable8

Not sure if true or not but all this talk of falcao hill cavani shurrle, I thin loic remy would be brilliant buy, quick and powerful and a gd end product, him or llorente as he is diffent and can hold ball up and gd in air

AC Milan are contacting Chelsea over a loan move for Fernando Torres. Torres says he wants to stay as he's scored a few goals so far this season.

Believable1 Unbelievable27

We have no strikers why would we let him go, rubbish

Agree0 Disagree0

Where do people get this s**t

curt

Agree2 Disagree0

This has to be the most ridiculous post I've ever read why would loan out our now first choice striker who is looking sharp and hungry again especially without a guaranteed replacement this is absolutely craziness

Agree0 Disagree0

29 Aug 2012 14:53:33
Ed do you think that Chelsea will sign a striker before the transfer window closes and if so will Daniel Sturridge be allowed to leave? {Ed018's Note - They are both possibilities}

Believable4 Unbelievable5

29 Aug 2012 14:41:37
Looks like Hulk is signing for Zenit. Shows the player has no real professional ambition and is nothing more than a mercenary. Don't want that at our club anyway. Get Schurrie instead.

Believable1 Unbelievable6

Yeah low expectations for himself. carPetman

Agree0 Disagree0

How have you worked that out if Zenit have had a bid rejected? Honestly some people!

He will be staying at Porto

Agree1 Disagree0

Yeah all our transfers signed for us for free.

Agree0 Disagree0

A bid was turned down from zenit.

Agree0 Disagree0

29 Aug 2012 14:12:08
Hulk has chosen to stay

If we let Essien and miereles go then maybe, he would be quality but we have to many players at the moment.

Rumours are beginning to resurface (Eurosport, Evening Standard, Guardian) about us going back in for Scurrle, despite Rudi Voller again yesterday being quoted as saying he is not for sale. Not much substance to them, but rumours nonetheless.

Blue25

Believable5 Unbelievable4

Rudi Voller said there team would be in tatters without him! nice confidence boost for the rest of the team lol

No chance with rooney, he doesn't like to dive at every oppotunity! It's becoming embarrassing and don't need it in the premier league

Right guys, this is how I see the transfer window ending: With Essien and meirels linked to moves away from the club, I wouldnt be suprised if we signed M'villa right under arsenal and spurs noses! Maybe we'll get Tiote? Who knows? Striker wise I belive the only options are falcao and hulk, I have a funny feeling that we will sign Falcao on deadline day, but keep it secret till half time in the super cup then annouce it? We're probaly going for another CB becuase against reading we didnt have any back up on the bench, with JT getting on he's going to be 'rested' or more likely to be injured and also he may get a ban, also with Luiz at the back he can easliy get himself sent off (thats why we should move him into DM). And guys remember its deadline day...anything can happen.

Peds

Believable6 Unbelievable7

Essien and RM moving on and M'Vila coming in would be fantastic

Agree0 Disagree0

Why do we need another centre back we hav 4 of them JT,Luiz,Cahill,Ivanovic and know we bought a right back so if were stuck we can put Ivanovic centre back. Really hope we sign Falcao or Cavani but I hope it doesnt mess up Torres' start to the season

Agree0 Disagree0

Falcao to singn thursday dqne deal.

nookie is blue

Agree0 Disagree0

I very much doubt we'd announce the signing of Falcao at half time considering we'd be playing his current team. Imagine how unsettling that would be? I just don't see that happening.

Ash

Agree0 Disagree0

Absolutely none of this will happen. Never read so much rubbish in one post. Mark my words

Agree0 Disagree0

hey ed, if a midfielder goes i.e essien/mereiles will another be brought in? thanks JayJ {Ed002's Note - Not if only one goes.}

Believable4 Unbelievable2

29 Aug 2012 09:02:40
Ed is it true hulk will choose between us and spurs? carPetman {Ed018's Note - Hulk isn't choosing between anyone until Porto lowers the asking price}

Believable5 Unbelievable5

I have just read that Zenit have met the asking price (some insane fee around 50mill Euros) ad he will move there.

Agree0 Disagree0

29 Aug 2012 10:48:23
If Theo Walcott is put up for sale by Arsenal would Chelsea be interested?

Apprently Essien and Meireles have both been monitored by Fenerbache. And £8million has been offered for Essien. Personally I wouldn't mind if they both left, however, I want Essien to work in the team at the moment because I like him.

Believable4 Unbelievable2

Sell essien for 6 then buy demble for 15

Agree0 Disagree0

Dembele is all but a spurs player

Agree0 Disagree0

Mireles is better than essien...

hulk will sign for chelsea today :) falcao will not

Believable6 Unbelievable13

No falcao

Agree0 Disagree0

A shame but hulk would be welcomed

Agree0 Disagree0

Hope so

Agree0 Disagree0

If hulk signs for a premier league club it'll be spurs I think, he has ties with avb! He's a great player though

Agree0 Disagree0

Hulk has nearly completed his move to Zenit

Agree0 Disagree0

Hope not

Agree0 Disagree0

Wrong falcao thursday done deal

Agree0 Disagree0

Yeah, where are spurs going to get £30million from...

Scruffy

Agree0 Disagree0

I would love to get falcao but i dont see him leaving now ,, hulk will arrive im confident of it

Agree0 Disagree0

29 Aug 2012 00:49:04
hey ed,

do u expect essien to leave? fenerbache is being reported as a destination.

thanks,

cali {Ed018's Note - Sounds like an offer could be made. I don't see how Essien and Meireles could both end up there though, but one of the two could move on}

Believable3 Unbelievable1

Ok thanks ed,

cali

Agree0 Disagree0

Would this mean a midfield replacement Ed? cheers {Ed018's Note - I doubt it. It should mean Ramires moves back to central mid, and Romeu may get some more time}

hey ed,

was lukaku not allowed to play in west brom's league cup game, because i was expecting him to start the game.

thanks

cali {Ed018's Note - I haven't heard if that was the case or not. Maybe someone can help out}

Believable1 Unbelievable1

I don't know either but sam Hutchinson and mceachran didn't even make it on the bench for Forrest and middlesbrough.

Blue con

Agree0 Disagree0

Yeh he wasn't even on the bench and thought he would have been if he was eligible to play

Agree0 Disagree0

He picked up a slight niggle on the training pitch during the week. He is expected to return for the weekend. Hope this helps Cali.

Melbourne CFC

Agree0 Disagree0

I see no reason why he wouldn't have been allowed. Doubt we were overly worried about him becoming cup-tied.

IB.

Agree0 Disagree0

West Brom needed Lukaku last night! ahah We as in Yeovil was all over them, there goals were flukey! But im a cfc fan aswell and would of been noce to seen him play against me local team.

peds

Agree0 Disagree0

Yeh i'm a yeovil and cfc fan too, tbh i was kind of scared about the prospect of our defenders trying to deal with lukaku

Agree0 Disagree0

Considering he's on a season long loan with no recall option it's very doubtful they're not allowed to play him in cups. I would have thought the only condition in there is that he's not allowed to play against us in cups/the league.

Ash

Agree0 Disagree0

Agreed. I posted many times last season saying we should go for him ... superb against spuds and gooners

Guillem Balague has tweeted sayIng that Falcao will NOT be leaving Ath Madrid! Calm down it won't happen! I'm slightly disappointed everyone wants Sturridge out! He's a proven goalscorer and we're going to need him during this long season!

Chelsea Nick

Believable9 Unbelievable3

Defiantly agree with you nick, but I would like to see cavani join us!
Blue aero

Agree0 Disagree0

Balague also said Sahin to Arsenal was a done deal ?

Agree0 Disagree0

Sturridge far too selfish last season ... but if he has learnt to choose right options he does have pace and considerable skill. But we surely need at least one more striker. VBS

Agree0 Disagree0

I wouldn't say everyone wants Sturridge to leave. I know there are a few people here who think he can still develop into a team player. Myself being one of them. Can't remember which game, I think it was against reading (I'm very tired and could be wrong) he did start playing in more of a team role. Still made some wrong choices occasionally but still, it's an improvement!
