Ed if chelsea meet the 50m asking price will liverpool let him leave even if they fail to secure a replacement? Anelka has made it clear he won't move

Good times back at Chelsea hopefully now the cash is being spent but something keeps telling me it's not going to happen.
IN:Torres
Luiz
Aguero
In summer 2 midfielders with the money made by selling:
Out:anelka
Drogba
Zhirkov
Next season give more play time to our youngsters
Cannot pull myself away from skysports news the next 24 hours will probably make or break our football club we cannot continue with a 18 man squad

So youre saying we want torres and aguro or sanchez this window {ed's note - all of them I think.}
30 Jan 2011 15:31:10
Ed, Any headway being made in the pursuit of torres or any other targets? Thanks {ed's note - Torres is all set, it is just about Liverpool getting a replacement before they will let him go. Aguero is still not out of the question.}
Do you think will sign a suitable replacement in time for the deadline ed?Thaks again! {ed's note - I have no idea, he had agreed to wait until the summer so it has caused a bit of trouble. There were strikers in mind but no definite moves had been made until now.}

Ed and Unsigned at 30 Jan 2011 13:24:23:
"ED The window closes tommorow and you keep saying that we are going to sign someone befor the summer is that still true? ?
{Editor's Note: Have you not noticed the club making an effort?}
What effort? Chelseas executives are equal to proven failure."
This seems to be a pretty unfair statement against the club who are doing what they can. Chelsea tried for Alexis Sanchez and were knocked back, after a great deal of negotiation, by the Udinese owner who wants the player to be sold now but left on loan with Udinese until "at least" the summer. It looked for a while like Barcelona may be open to this proposal, but neither Chelsea nor Manchester United were. At this point, Manchester United's interest in Sanchez seemed to wane, but I very much doubt that it has completely disappeared.
Chelsea Also made a bid for David Luiz of Benfica and were again screwed around by the selling club. As soon as this bid appeared to be failing Chelsea expanded their bid for Atletico Madrid's Sergio Aguero to include Diego Godin - but again this bid was knocked back.
Since then Chelsea have been actively trying to deal with Liverpool over Fernando Torres, and some progress has been made.
As the Ed alluded to earlier, Chelsea have now also gone back to both Udinese and Atletico to see what can be done with their previous bids to see if someone can be bought in. What is not clear to me at the moment is if Chelsea is still looking at Aguero and Godin, or if it is just Aguero that interests them. I also think that Chelsea may now be a little more open minded about letting Sanchez stay until the summer at Udinese, but only if this will facilitate the transfer now. The club wants to ensure that they are in a position to make any significant expenditure before the summer, thereby allowing them to sell surplus players over the summer and to ensure that they are well within the new financial constraints going forward. Issues still remain over centre back, and possibly, right back.
By later tomorrow we will have a much better idea where we are.
Sharkey.

Any news ed on any of chelsea's targets.Would love it if we pull of the Torres deal also think we need at least another 3 players possibly aguero, godin or luiz and Adam Johnson who isn't happy on the bench at city.but after all the speculation I can see us not buying anyone, finishing the season trophyless.personally I would love to see mourinho and arjen robben back at the bridge
