Whats the latest On Pastore? {Ed002's Note - Nothing has changed that I know of. There remains the thought that he will stay in Italy.}
Will Chelsea hold talks with the player or his agent? {Ed002's Note - The club then the agent. The player is not available.}
03 Jul 2011 22:08:51
hey ed, how come barcelona are in the race to sign neymar sanchez and rossi aswell as fabregas if their stuggling to find money {Ed002's Note - They certainly won't sign everyone and are actively trying to unload a couple of players. They are looking also at payment plans and part ownership deals.}
03 Jul 2011 21:09:53
Villa-Boas is going to bring Falcao to Chelsea with him
I hope he would rather throw everything at Hulk. We sadly and badly need to mirror our left side, as too many times last season we were left wanting on the right, where attacking through ACole and Malouda was just one-dimensional. I hope we get van der Wiel and someone like Hulk to our right. Now that would be sensational.

Chelsea are looking unlikely to land long term target Neymar and winger Alexis Sanchez. Neymar seems Madrid bound because they may be the only club with prestige and money to cater a move and they seem to be willing to let the kid stay for another year just to play in the Club World Cup. That was the deal breaker with Chelsea. As for Sanchez, he and his agent may try to push through a move to Barcelona. If Chelsea don't get either player they should definitely make a serious push for Juan Mata for the left and he also come considerably cheaper than both Neymar and Sanchez and he looks ready for the big step up. Chelsea should try to broker a deal for Aguero as well. He's no doubt a top class versatile attacker just like Neymar but stronger and looks like a right fit for the Premier League. Opinions are welcomed.
I can understand the obsession with Neymar, but Sanchez and Pastore don't look like a sure bet to me at all. Therefor i
fully support theidea of Mata and i also am very fond of Bale for our left side. But for the right one i have a perfect player for our system and our league in Hulk. He should be our number 1 target. And if reportedly Porto are willing to do business at about 36 mil. That's still a steal.
A very likely scenario regarding Neymar and Sanchez.
I would be more disappointed to lose out on Sanchez than Neymar.
I would certainly support the signing of Aguerro who I have thought for a few years would fit well in the PL and Chelsea.

chelsea to bring in pastore, nasri, falcao and vdw.and will also place a cheeky bid for theo walcott
Chelsea, and this is true, cannot afford all these players
03 Jul 2011 18:03:35
Ed, How much truth is in the latest rumour linking us with a move for Theo Walcott? {Ed002's Note - As I said, I don't know of any interest.}
03 Jul 2011 17:48:57
Chelsea to sign : Falcao, Moutinho, Modric, Lukaku and Contrao (if Cole leaves) (unfortunately wont get Neymar or Sanchez)
Chelsea to sell : Anelka, Drogba, Mikel, Kalou
03 Jul 2011 17:47:06
anyone questioning if David Luiz will be at Chelsea next season is dumb. David Luiz wont be allowed to leave and he is happy at Chelsea
We can't sell luiz, one of the better players we have plus this next season i would say he will be one of the best in the prem, i'm sure thou these are silly media rumours. cfcblue
03 Jul 2011 16:53:11
ED please remind everyone that we do not want Nasri nor do we need him. If he moves on it will be to MUFC. Every other post on here has Nasri in a lineup or asks if he is on the radar. If I am getting tired of reading it I can't imagine how you too editors feel.
03 Jul 2011 16:33:26
Chelsea manager Andre Villas Boas is said to be interested in the signing of Arsenal winger Theo Walcott. Walcott is thought to be interested in the move due to a lack of success with the North London club. Chelsea are to declare their interest in the coming days.
Why whats up with Nasri? He's better than Lampard.
Agree with you mate, nasri better now than frankie boy
Please let this not be true
03 Jul 2011 16:07:11
seen quite a few reports linking us to theo walcott. i know it seems very unlikely, but if nasri, clichey and fabregas leave maybe theo will want to follow. any possibility of it, do you reckon?
No chance
This isn't a terrible shout in my opinion, we need wingers, and theo can play there, or through the middle as a center forward, plus, he is home grown, which if the rumors that vb wants a British center back are true, then vb looking towards walcott, another home grown player, don't seem ridiculous.
Also, if we do lose out on sanchez, walcott could be another option, as both are young pacy wingers in essence right?
03 Jul 2011 16:03:05
Ed, Given the relegation of River Plate the other week would a move for Erik Lamela now become more likely/realistic or has he never been on the radar? {Ed002's Note - Lamela may leave River Plate this summer - likely destination is Italy with strong interest from Juventus, Lazio, Roma, Napoli and Palermo. Atletico Madrid may be an option with Aguero likely moving on. A move for Lamela to England is almost certainly out due to some very shady ownership issues.}
03 Jul 2011 16:01:49
hello ed will yossi benayoun move this summer and the club bring in a new number 10 or not?thank you {Ed002's Note - I don't know of any plans for him to move.}
03 Jul 2011 15:53:19
ed do we have some sort of thing with vitesse arnhem as their owner has links with roman and we loaned three players their last year and some young players we get kinked with go there like gio chanturia giorgian youngster and reports saying we want to send de bruyne there on loan if we got him {Ed002's Note - There is nothing formal but for a number of years Chelsea have allowed players to go on loan to Vitesse.}
03 Jul 2011 15:51:27
ed heve u heard of ecuador u20 winger Renato Ibarra
we were strongly linked to of got him on pre contract and now hes moved to vitese who of course we have strong links with {Ed002's Note - I am pretty sure Chelsea are unpopular with Vitesse right now because of the cancelled game next week. I don't know anything of teh player, sorry.}
03 Jul 2011 15:45:25
Which club is favourite to land pastore? Aguero and Falcao? {Ed002's Note - No idea.}
03 Jul 2011 15:38:26
ed will we want to move players on before the tour to asia as it would better {Ed002's Note - It is not what is wanted but what is practical.}
03 Jul 2011 14:26:44
ed any truth in pepe links {Ed002's Note - I don't know of any.}
03 Jul 2011 14:18:08
Hey ed i hope chelsea get nasri to replace lampard and modric to replace mikel
Well most of us don't want nasri & modric, there not good enough for our side.
The bids chelsea have put in, neymar, sanchez, pastore, are much better than those two numpty's.
Make you completely right we don't want nasri & modric, there both overated, but only by stupid gooners & spuds.
Would hate to see Nasri at Chelsea, wouldnt say no to Modric though, always puts 100% in and has an eye for a pass, but as the others have said, would much rather see Pastore, Neymar etc etc than either.
Hell no Nasrri doesnt compare to Lam[ard Chelsea need younger talent that can play for many years Modric to replace mikel I like now
Modric is a completely different style to Mikel
Modric to replace mikel on the bench?
03 Jul 2011 13:23:23
ed, when do the players return from vacation and are all back together, and also when does the transfer window close? {Ed002's Note - Most return this week. Some are still away after tournaments (Sturridge for example) and two are at the Copa America. I suspect most will show up whether they are due or not. Obviously Luiz and Ramires are gone for a while.}
03 Jul 2011 12:39:15
ED002 Do you have any info on the british centre back AVB wants to bring in ? {Ed002's Note - No, none at all I am afraid.}
03 Jul 2011 11:53:07
what is the latest on Javier Pastore?Lukaku and Aguero? {Ed018's Note - Chelsea dont want to pay what Anderlecht are asking for Lukakau, there will be further talks for Pastore at some point, and nothing on Aguero right now]
Thanks
Both CFC and Lukaku have mutual interest, therefor we are doing some hrd bargaining, like barca and fabregas. It is logical. I wholehartedly believe we will get all 3 of our targets from Belgium.
03 Jul 2011 13:00:36
Have you heard anything ED018 regarding transfers mate ? {Ed018's Note - no. im away on vacation and have no signal on my phone so im limited in my communications right now. so i did be unable to to hear much news. i did read some reports this morning that appeared to be rubbish though.}
03 Jul 2011 12:46:43
EDS reports are that Anelka has also been told he can leave true? {Ed018's Note - yea Anelka will be allowed to leave}
03 Jul 2011 12:35:26
Ed: Is this week going to be busy with rumours as players start coming back from holiday? {Ed018's Note - its been busy enough with rumours it might pick up a bit in regards to the players chelsea might sell}
03 Jul 2011 11:30:41
In: Nasri, Sanchez, Moutinho, van der Wiel, Lukaku
out:Anelka, Bosingwa, Ferreira, Zhirkov
Nasri to United, Sanchez to Barca, Moutinho and Lukaku too expesnive at this moment. VDW doesn't appear to be 1st choice anymore.
Modric is aloud to leave tottanham for chelsea at 45 mill
Probably true but no chance of chelsea paying 45m for him. The Daily Mirror are the worst for rumours.
03 Jul 2011 10:48:21
Would Chelsea actually sell David Luiz this summer?
This question appears nearly everyday with the same answer from the eds They dont whant to sell him and he said he was happy so its doutful
Hell no chelsea bought him in Janurary he aint going anywhere
Yes hope they do ivanovic is a better
03 Jul 2011 09:19:31
Ed: Fergie is a clever fox. He has gone public with MU targets to see what reaction he gets. Why can't we do the same? {Ed002's Note - There are no secrets about the offers Chelsea have made for major targets.}
Ed can you tell us the real offers Chelsea have made. As I know, Pastore and Modric. {Ed018's Note - Neymar and Sanchez}
03 Jul 2011 09:08:51
Is didier drogba staying this transfer or is it likely he will move, if so who too? {Ed002's Note - If he wants to move he will be allowed to leave, but the club will not be asking to do so. Obvious options are Galatasaray, Marseille, the MLS. If he decides to go, there will be other options as well.}
He is staying another year already done a contrackt
03 Jul 2011 02:50:35
ed sanchez says he will only go to barca and no one else but do u think we can still get him as udinese would want the money {Ed018's Note - dont listen to what you read alot of things change}
So are we still trying and do we have a chance {Ed002's Note - I suspect he may well end up at Barcelona - but the problem they have is cash flow. So we wait.}
03 Jul 2011 02:51:21
ed were being strongly linked with arda turan any truth {Ed018's Note - the whole turan thing was going on when hiddink was supposed to come in, i doubt there is any interest now
02 Jul 2011 23:52:09
ED, any truth chelsea are going to bid for theo walcott? thanks {Ed002's Note - I doubt it.}
