Hi Ed, just a question about Mikel. Is it likely he'll be leaving in this window or are the club looking to keep him? I ask because I'm actually a fan of his and think selling him would be a mistake! Cheers

{Ed002's Note - Yes, John Obi is expected to leave and has been the target of interest from Inter Milan.}

I agree he has been excellent defensively for us if especially in big games (like ECF, against LFC recently etc), if often criticised for slowness or sideways passing when going forward. But if Mikel leaving as well as Lampard and Ramires we will definitely need more than Fabregas as replacement but would guess that all at Stamford Bridge know this. In particular Luiz and/or Ramires were great against City and LFC away, and have not seen enough of Van G. because of his injury to know how well he could do such a job (doesn't seem such an imposing physical presence). Or one of our current Under-21s?

{Ed002's Note - Have you been playing on Twitter Matt?}

Matt, please don't tell me you believe everything you read on twitter?!

Agree0 Disagree0

Yes haha I only ask ed as it was a journo who has got few things correct on cesc,, and when I say right I mean, says same things as you

Agree0 Disagree0

If I believed everything on twitter I'd be on here 24/7 posting all day every day, like I said, I ignore 98% of rubbish on twitter! just a few foreign journo's who have got few things right I'll ask ed about

Agree0 Disagree0

Hi ed, are real interested in ramires?

Believable6 Unbelievable0

{Ed002's Note - Real Madrid tried to find a way to take Ramires from Chelsea to Madrid in January and whilst their interest moved on they spoke with a representative of the club whilst she was in Spain during the first week of June again.}

Thanks ed much appreciated.

Agree0 Disagree0

Would definitely not want to lose Ramires's energy and ball winning prowess in midfield even if he is not the greatest passer in the game.

Agree0 Disagree0

Really good info cheers. I love Ramires but I think it would be a good move if he left, it is becoming more and more difficult watching his errant passing and sometimes vicious tackling without thinking it would be better if he was replaced.

Agree0 Disagree0

Id be really happy for ramires to move on. I just don't see what he brings to the team. Tackling, shooting and passing are awful. The only plus is his pace and energy but if that makes you a good footballer we might as well sign usain bolt. Ramires out, kroos or fabregas in.

Agree0 Disagree0

Would they let khedira go if they signed Ramires? Would Chelsea be interested in khedira?

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed002's Note - They are unrelated but Khedira is the subject of talks with another club.}

Khedira not at all impressive in ECL final v Atletico -- but not fully fit? If we are to lose FL and Ramires, would need perhaps need both Fabregas and TK. Think people being over harsh on Ramires, though last season not his best he was excellent in two previous seasons; funny how easily the good gets forgotten, and am not just remembering THAT goal v Barcelona (though it deserves to be).

Agree0 Disagree0

Ed would Madrid be offering a player exchange for Ramires?

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed002's Note - Try not to complicate everything.}

VBS, I understand where you are coming from, but in my opinion if we play with a 2 man midfield Ramires simply doesn't offer enough, his midfield partner/defense have to pick up the slack when he makes basic errors, and because he has basic weaknesses.
In a 3 man midfield he is perfect (like Essien), but 2 man I don't think so.

Agree0 Disagree0

Which club is khedira in talks with? Are we interested if he were available at a reasonable price?

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed002's Note - Fiorentina.}

In all honesty if we received a transfer fee above £25m I will accept without a thought. I'm not one of the Ramires bashers on here. He adds energy to the team and he gets beyond the striker creating space for others. But with that money we should be able to add Pogba while being able to comply with FFP.

Agree0 Disagree0

They possibly want Rami, we want Varane, seperate deals but both clubs happy

Agree0 Disagree0

Any truth in Kalas on loan to Cologne, Eds?

Cheers

Believable6 Unbelievable1

{Ed002's Note - He will go on loan and there are several options including Cologne.}
