Modric will tell levy that he wants to join Chelsea in the next 24 hours. Expect Modric to be a Chelsea player in the next couple of weeks, you heard it here first

I thought Levy said he wasnt for sale?

But he can't stop a player leaving if the player wants to?

"you heard it here first"

That slogan reminds me a little too much of Covert Football, who announced that Neymar was 100% coming to Chelsea a month or so ago. You'll forgive me if I laugh in the face of someone who proclaims, "you heard it here first"

Im a little worried about our lack of movement in the window so far and i dont mean the players coming IN... we need to get rid of a few first
Anelka
Bosingwa
ferreira
mikel
Malouda
zhirkov..

They all need to go before considering who to bring in..
Desperately need a Right back and attacking midfielder (Modric would be perfect)

RW is much bigger problem for CFC than RB. AM-Sneijder, Nasri, Pastore, Diego, Hazard pick up.

Ed: What is Zambrini talking about urging Chelsea to bid for Pastore? I thought we already have? Does he want more? The man is an opportunistic ... {Ed002's Note - Just ignore what he has said. He is trying to drum up more bidders.}

Actually they have no real biders for Pastore only interest showed by few big teams.
I belive Pastore will be sold for 25mil eur tops.
RM thinks that they won't pay more than 15 m eur for Neymar.

Hi ed, I wanted to know how negotiations were going in regards to VDW and Lukaku (if they have even begun that is). Thank you. {Ed002's Note - I refer to earlier answers - nothing has changed.}

05 Jul 2011 19:23:05
Reports are that Modric made it clear to levy and he wants to leave any news eds?

Reports that I have read claim that there was no meeting with Levy as reported by sky sports (as well as several other sources) and that Modric is not even back in the UK until Thursday, with no meeting currently scheduled for when he returns.

Its looking good

Latest on pastore? {Ed018's Note - nothing as of right now}

He'll come to London but not for fee Palermo is hope to get. Tevez and other Argentina players will suggest him not to go to Manchester(rainy, boring&cold) that is how this guys see north England. London is metropolis.

05 Jul 2011 00:14:32
have you any information when our first signing will likely be announced?
cheers {Ed018's Note - no}

05 Jul 2011 16:09:06
Hi Ed, do you know are Real Madrid the favorites to sign Tevez? I havnt read anything about them being interested but on here people seem to be expecting him to move there? And if they do move for tevez do you know if this would effect their move for Neymar? Cheers. {Ed002's Note - Favourites I don't know. If Real Madrid are interested in Tevez then it may be beneficial to Chelsea over Neymar - but I suspect further interest from Manchester City.}

Surely they wouldn't have a chance, i'm sure robinho will have put him off that idea {Ed002's Note - I did not say he would move there, just that I expect they will bid, and perhaps again for Aguero.}

I reckon rm will go for tevez leaving neymar to come to us as I reckon he'll turn down anzhi and city Fingers crossed anyway

Although Tevez would be a great player for RM i really hope they get him, i would be very frustrated if another of our long standing targets ended up not at Chelsea. It seems every transfer window we are linked to a number of exciting players, and then they never come, i have my fingers firmly crossed for Nemar Pastore and Sanchez, although i dont see Sanchez happening tbh. {Ed002's Note - I agree, don't expect Sanchez.}

ed italian media saying diarra wants to go pl vidal wants to go bayern so juve asked chels how much for mikel and was quoted 16 mill euros and says boas wont guarantee him start so he wants to go
ed heard anything {Ed002's Note - I have no idea, sorry. Translating snippets from the internet and asking me to substantiate them is not a great use of my time I am afraid. I will just delete the posts in the end.}

05 Jul 2011 15:02:45
hi ed could you think of a reason Chelsea should not bid for Tevez? since we have the means to do it.thanks {Ed002's Note - I suspect he is trying to get a move to Real Madrid.}

05 Jul 2011 14:42:29
Hey Ed, im getting increasingly worried about chelsea pursuit of their targets as it does look like they will sign to other teams, for example:

Neymar-Real Madrid
Alexis Sanchez-Barcelona
Fabio Coentrao-Real Madrid
Wesley Sneijder-Man Utd or staying at Inter
David Villa-Wants to stay in spain.

Sorry, but i dont think the like of Falcao, Moutinho and Lukaku will give us the Champions League.

I believe that chelsea should at least try and go for Sergio Ramos, Samir Nasri and Sergio Aguero.

What are your thoughts Ed? {Ed002's Note - Well, you have missed Pastore off the list, and then will Real Madrid be able to afford Neymar (their latest valuation is 15M euros) if they have an interest in Tevez as well? Chelsea have already been through the loop with Aguero and may well return to see if a deal is possible. I really don't see Nasri or Ramos happening. Lukaku is one for the future if he comes. I sugegst that you simply wait and see.}

Real Madrid valuation is high. He doesn't worth 5m. All about Neymar is clear spining.

05 Jul 2011 12:13:49
Ed should we read much into what we heard on SSN today about Aguero mentioning Juve his likely destination or do you think we're still in with a sqeak of snappin him up? {Ed002's Note - I have no idea what Sky Sports have been saying, but you seen to of ignored that I have been saying for weeks that Juventus is his most likely destination. Expect at least Manchester City to make a bid and depenbding what happens elsewhere, Manchester United, Chelsea and others possibly. Tevez moving to Real Madrid would move the proverbial goalposts - so we will see what happens.}

Aguero just said that he is aware of Juve interest in him but there are other EPL options.
He is not going to join Juve

ed are we interested in bastos cos reports say we are
seeing as coentrao didnt go through bastos is a similar sort of player {Ed002's Note - There has been interest in the past from Barcelona but to the best of my knowledge, he is likely to join Juventus this summer. I don't know what "reports" you have seen.}

Its in french press the deal with juves off and were apparently going to bid in next few days {Ed002's Note - Ok, we will see.}

Sorry Ed but today Liverpool showed open interest in Bastos. {Ed002's Note - So how much are they planning on paying for someone coming up to 28. I think it is simply wishful thinking on your behalf that he is interesting Liverpool.}

05 Jul 2011 11:00:29
Hey Ed, is there any truth in chelsea ready to make bid for real madrid defender pepe? {Ed002's Note - I don't know of any truth in the story.}

05 Jul 2011 07:36:37
Hi Ed Any idea how much money Boas have for transfers? And any news for a right back? Thanks {Ed002's Note - There is no budget per se.}

05 Jul 2011 01:37:40
hello ed do chelsea stand any chance in trying to sign Carlos Tevez since he signalled his intention to leave?thank you {Ed018's Note - no. i think tevez may stay at city one more year, then try to get back home to play}

He released a statement that he wants to leave Man City.

Tevez said he wants to leave i can see him going to argentina but his wages will be a problem, i have a feelig chelsea will make a bid though
