Ed 002 Given we are looking for a new midfield player have you any idea who we are considering?
Or if not what type of player we are looking for,attacking defensive etc?
Thanks {Ed002's Note - De Bruyne remains the most likely option but there is serious interest in someone else right now. But it is not an option to discuss him at the moment.}

A Clue ed what league does he play in? {Ed002's Note - No clues.}

When may u discuss this player ED02? {Ed002's Note - We have to wait to see what happens. Perhaps nothing will come to fruition.}

Ganso ED as I remember u speaking of him at end of august, no need to reply to this.

R {Ed002's Note - I really do not want to get in to speculation over a player who was only mentioned in relation to De Bruyne and the completion of any transfer if the fee issue can be overcome with Genk. It does not help matters and will not help in discussing other potential players.}

Can you say what type of player he is for example Playmaker/Defensive Midfield/Box to Box etc?

ED are chelsea likely to go back in for ALvaro Pereria? {Ed002's Note - He signed a new contract last month - I very much doubt that Chelsea will have a future interest in him.}

It is Carlos Tevez

If we were to sign De Bruyne in January, do you think that will help if we wanted to sign Hazard? They are both Belgian, maybe something like Torres telling Mata that Chelsea is the place to be. {Ed002's Note - No. It makes no difference at all.}

tore of hamburg a former chelsea player looked a good bargain yesterday. he was fantastic with bruma. what do you think ED getting them back. {Ed002's Note - Gokhan Tore move was permanent. Much was expected of him but he did want to move on in the summer so I very much doubt he will be moving back. Jeffrey Bruma is on a one year loan that has buy and loan continuation options attached to it. It is anticipated by the club that he will not be returning to Chelsea but he has actually not had a good start to the season in Germany, so we need to wait and see. If I had to guess I would say he will probably not play for Chelsea again.}

ed r chelsea interested in iker miuniain as we were linked few days ago and seems the sort of signing avb wud want {Ed002's Note - No, although Muniain has been offered to Chelsea. The money being asked for him is pretty outrageous and Bilbao will not find a buyer without reducing it.}

Ed 002 I noticed you said the club had identified three positions that need new players. I think it was CB/RM and a replacement for Nic/Kalou on the right.
Have you any idea who they are considering for those positions other than De Bruyne?
What position would De bruyne be bought for do you think as he seems to play left wing/MF at Genk?
Also are they not still considering a new RB?
Thanks. {Ed002's Note - There are plenty of people being looked at right now and there are various specific targets - some of which will not be available to the summer. The situation with De Bruyne has been explained already and we will have to see what interest arises elsewhere and how Cheslea get on with one particular target. There have been discussions over Gary Cahill as has been previously mentioned and he seems preferred over Subotic right now. There is nothing new in the RB position as the club are still discussing an extension with Bosingwa. If Ivanovic were to depart I suspect that may change.}
