Editor, is there any possibillity of chelsea using Borini as a makeweight in a deal for Ledesma or Pastore? Do you think we will make a move for either of these players? {ed's note - I am not convinced either are likely mate. Borini is likely to move using freedom of contract and leave the clubs to sort out compensation.}

Shaun Wright-Phillips reportedly wants to come back to chelsea as he thinks he might get first team football there and get back into the england squad. Unlikely but any chance of Ancelotti agreeing to this ed?

{Editor's Note: I would not have thought so.}

Ed what are the chances kakuta will sign a new deal ?

{Editor's Note: Very good - I am told that there is one sticking point and that should get resolved. I should know more at the end of this week.}

Hey Ed, what's the real reason why we didn't sign Sergio Aguero? Was it wages or price tag?

{Editor's Note: It was the transfer fee and Atletico screwing around initially - now it would be the wages for all but a few - £200k per week.}

So there is no chance of Chelsea getting him now Ed? {ed's note - no chance.}

Chelsea should try to sign AC Milan's Alexandre Pato in the summer. He'll add youth and quality to our ageing attack. His price tag is a stumbling block though as Milan will look to get 40mil for him. But Chelsea should offer 25mil plus Zhirkov and first refusal on Borini and Kakuta(if he does not agree a new deal). Your thoughts Ed?

{Editor's Note: Borini will be gone in the summer - Chelsea are not going to give "first refusal" on Kakuta if he signs a new deal and if Zhirkov were sold he would need replacing. If anything happens it won't be this sort of deal. I am doubtful he would wish to leave Milan in any case.}

What about Porto's Hulk, he's a great striker and has 17 goals in 18 appearances so far this season with 5 assists. Do Chelsea have any interest in him Ed?

{Editor's Note: None as far as I am aware - simply throwing out random names of players who do well on a game or any given weekend will likely result in the same response. Chelsea, like many EPL clubs have a large scouting network who are looking at players all of the time.}

Chelsea defender Branislav Ivanovic could be set for a move to the Bundesliga with Bayern Munich ready to swoop for the stopper, who has yet to sign a new deal at Stamford Bridge. Any truth in this Ed?

{Editor's Note: Yes, Inter Milan are alos interested.}

The report also stated that we have offered him a new 5 year contract worth €4 million-per-year and he has not agreed to it.Any truth in that ed?

{Editor's Note: I don't know of any details - but I do know it is unusual for Chelsea to offer 5 year contracts to players. I would say the report is based upon supposition.}

Chelsea Rumours
Chelsea should try to sign Ajax and Belgium center back Jan Vertonghen to help our leaky defence. He young and very talented and price tag and wages won't command much. He could play anywhere in defense, def midfield and central midfield. I say Chelsea should go for him in January and send Bruma on loan to Ajax as a replacement.Your thoughts ED?

{Editor's Note: I think both Milan and Arsenal have the jump on the player already.}

So do they have any interest in the player Ed?

{Editor's Note: Chelsea will be waiting to see what happens with (a) injuries to centre backs; (b) Bosingwa's contract negotiations - if he is leaving then a specialist right back becomes a priority; (c) Ivanovic's contract negotiations - if he is leaving Chelsea will need to find cover at centre back and possibly right back. So there are a lot of ifs and buts at this time - but if a good offer comes in for Ivanovic and he is not prepared to sign a new contract, then expect him to leave.}

Hey Ed, Pastore may be available in the summer any chance of Chelsea signing him?

{Editor's Note: Chelsea have been interested in the player for some time - Palermo recently offered the player to Chelsea but the money involved was far to much for Chelsea's liking. There is considerable additional interest in player from Italy so we will have to wait an see. It remains a possibility - within reasonable financial constraints.}

"Hey Ed, who are the two other players who Chelsea have first refusal on at Fluminese?
{Editor's note - Am not sure.}"

There aren't any at this time. They have the option to take three first refusals and have opted now for the first of those.

Sharkey.

what do you mean they want they first player with is hu ?

{Editor's Note: I do not understand your comment at all - Chelsea have an agreement with Fluminese, as part of the Deco deal, to have first refusal on the transfer of three players - they have now invoked the first of these in respect of Rafael Pernao.}
