Matt Law 5 minutes ago. ”I've been asked about this a lot and I'm really hoping it doesn't backfire on me but told Chelsea are not pursuing any deal for Riyad Mahrez” stop reading rubbish on twitter mate nothing you look at will make things happen just be patient.

Matt Law has good contacts at Chelsea so I guess the Mahrez is a non-starter!

Another player might also be coming in asides Zappacosta and Drinkwater: Any guess?
Ross Barkley, Marcos llorente, Alex Sandro, a striker, a LWB, Sergi Roberto etc.

Just don’t see the need to get so excited and upset over something that’s not happened yet. if it’s going to happen then we will all know when/ if it does.

Don't believe it. BEin sports the one reporting it and they haven't exactly been reliable. Said Ox was going to sign a contract with us and said Coutinho was going to Barcelona. Nobody even knows where the damn guy is 😂. Would love him but can't see it.

It's all gone quiet on Drinkwater?

Don't worry, Chelsea will 'ZAP' Drinkwater to Stamford Bridge. Our luck just turned for the good- with this ZAPACOSTA deal.

Leceister City are looking for a replacement before they can sell. Chelsea delayed this deal so much, but fingers crossed.

Agree antibot . Drinkwater is the most important signing we can realistically make today. Hope we get him.
Ed018 what do you think?

{Ed018's Note - I think Drinkwater would be a good signing. I hope they can get it finalized}

{Ed018's Note - there seems to be something to this and a move is possible}
31 Aug 2017 14:29:58
COME ON! Good deal atleast he can 'zap' our defence and 'costa' our 'attack'. Good one if they manage to pull this one off.

Willian to United is not feasible, it won't or it can't happen. I am not worried about such deals. Unless a ridiculous offer is made. I am not worried about such things.
I am only excited for ZAPACOSTA.

He could actually replace Hazard if he leaves to Madrid today.
And Chelsea doesn't play with winger backs, Chelsea plays with with winger midfielders.

I feel like you fail to grasp the concept of a wing back if you don't believe that Chelsea use them in their system.
Agree2

Rowey Chelsea plays 3421 not 541.Concept is different. And yes Moses and Alonso are used as outer midfielders.
Agree2

31 Aug 2017 12:58:55
Moses and Alonso are wing backs! When Azpilicueta replaces moses it's at wing back. We use wing backs!

31 Aug 2017 13:06:53
We use wing backs, role of wing back is in possession they are midfield when not in possession they are defenders.

Hi Eds,
Do you know if we are putting a block on the Kennedy to Newcastle loan?

{Ed001's Note - I don't know about Newcastle, but his leaving on loan was contingent on reinforcements arriving.}
31 Aug 2017 08:16:49
i read somewhere that he won't be leaving if Chelsea doesn't get another LWB.

Thanks for the clarification Ed. Keeping him would be better than making a panic buy!

{Ed001's Note - exactly and you are not exactly blessed with a massive squad with lots of spare parts to fill in.}

Looks like the only signing that'll make our fans happy that's realistic and possible now is Mahrez. Would love him here with a front 3 of Hazard Morata and Mahrez but it doesn't seem like we've made a bid nor have shown any concrete interest. He's definitely moving tomorow so we'll soon see where to.

I wonder if Contes going to be forced to convert one of Pedro or Willian into a wb seeing as we haven't managed to sign a single one whilst so many have switched clubs this window. I guess that's the only way I see us going in for Mahrez.
Damn it two weeks ago I was in the No Ross Barkley corner now I just hope anyone signs. Even Barkley.

I think Wilian would make an excellent wing back with his work ethic. As a forward as good as he is the end result let's him down but he always gets good reviews for the shift he puts in, much of it tracking back.

{Ed001's Note - no they have not, they have just said he has been allowed to leave their training camp to complete a deal to join a club. They refused to name or confirm a name of the team he is talking to.}

Willian is a jibber when it comes to tackles though.

Apologises 001, read about leaving Algeria and reports about Barcelona 2 and 2 and got to 5, cheers for responses from everyone today appreciated.

{Ed001's Note - no worries mate.}

Just do t see why we would need Mahrez? The wing is the one position that I feel confident that we have covered (other than CB/ GK, but let me exaggerate! )
