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

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.

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}

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

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

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.

£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

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.

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.

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.

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.

Essien and RM moving on and M'Vila coming in would be fantastic
Agree0

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

Falcao to singn thursday dqne deal.
nookie is blue

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.

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

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.

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

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!
