ED002: Just read that we have a deal agreed with Naldo. Is it right? {Ed002's Note - Sorry, but I know nothing of it. And he must be around 30 now.}

Believable1 Unbelievable2

Werder Bremen just rejected a bid from Internacional Porto Alegre and Bremen said he wont be leaving. he is also 30 so i doubt we have interest.

chelsea dont need pace and no more skill coz they have sturidge mata cole ramires plus if they get the people they want there quite pacey themselves modric or kaka or hamsik, krasic falcao or robinho so there good on skill and pace

Believable4 Unbelievable15

What the hell are you talking about. R u watching a different Chelsea to the rest us

Agree17 Disagree2

08 Jan 2012 21:32:48
chelsea don't need pace they need two more strikers a new right back and a playmaker for instance kaka or modric and they need a right winger too which is krasic avb knows what he's doing and is going for it he's interested i:

robinho/pato st
falcao st
krasic rw
alvaro rb
cahil cb
kaka/modric/hamsik playmakers

Believable5 Unbelievable7

Where have you found anything about interest in robinho?! {Ed002's Note - Nope - I don't see him moving.}

Agree1 Disagree1

Alvaro perreira, he is a LB.

Agree5 Disagree0

Yeah and avb grows money on trees
look robinho/pato - 35 million+
falcao - 30 million+
krasic - 25 million+
perreira - 15 million+
cahill - i think fee is around 7 million kaka/modric/hamsik at least 40 million +
total: 152 million
he was given 140 million for transfers from abramovic+ anelka's deal with some shangai club (about 10 million)= 150 million
wow, you are close maybe this coud happen xD

Agree3 Disagree2

Falcao aint going anywhere he arrived at Athletico Madrid in the summer and if Chelsea were serious about him they would have made a move then....Robinho couldn handle the prem when he played for Man City....Krasic is a loan target and I doubt hes worth £25 mil and kaka/modric/hamsik wont come to Chelsea.

Agree2 Disagree0

My mate works in the sports team for the metro ,word is Chelsea are to announce a press conference for 3pm tomorrow ,presumably Gary Cahill can u shed any light on this ed? Thanx {Ed002's Note - Nope. |It would be an unusual thing to do via a press conference.}

Believable4 Unbelievable1

Why is this unusual... {Ed002's Note - Press conferences are typically arranged to introduce a player or players not to announce them, and certainly not before a deal is agreed.}

Agree3 Disagree0

Guys we have short memories. Remember one "SHEVCHENKO" how long did we back him and all believe he would begin scoring. Sell Torres and get someone new in ASAP. We didn't pay 50 mil for a playmaker we paid the money for a striker and thats what we need. Take the medicine and start a fresh.

Believable8 Unbelievable11

Well maybe if we had a decent playmaker, our strikers would actually start scoring regularly rather than assisting.

Agree15 Disagree0

When the season started wasnt Mata going to be the answer to Torres scoring more goals?

Agree6 Disagree8

And how many games have they actually played. By time Torres gets on he has malouda mikel lampard on. Then we wonder why he don't score... Get on class midfielder and a good playmaker. And with ramires mata and studge we will
Do well.

Agree11 Disagree1

U lot really blaming mata cos Torres don't score? Mata is consistently good for us on the left Wing wich is actually not his position behind the striker is his preferred position avb needs to change team around n atleast give mata a chance there, torres is s**t cos he's s**t nothing to do with mata

Agree4 Disagree8

Short memorys indeed drogs wasnt all that in hes first season then looked what happened give torres a chance and a run

Agree11 Disagree0

Mata was supposed to play behind the strikers and not as winger that he play now

Agree8 Disagree1

I am not criticising Mata or Torres for that matter.
I dont think the manager has utilised either of them to the max or anywhere near that frankly.
The obsession with a playmaker is to me ridiculous.
Firstly Mata can do part of that job and secondly its pace and wide men we lack.
You only have to look at the Spuds to see who is the key player and its not Modric.

Agree8 Disagree0

Everyone gets the blame for torres not scoring except torres!! wonder how many times we have to endure the line "torres will come good"

Agree3 Disagree3

I think alot of you are forgetting avb has a massive job on his hands, yeah sure i'd personally love to see torres scoring again but the thing is he has an old and ageing squad and with drogba gone to ACON torres will hopefully get back into form :)

Agree5 Disagree1

Well give him (or any of strikers) some decent service and we may seem some goals from them!

Agree5 Disagree1

You lot can cry all you want, Torres is here to stay, if it bothers you that much, go support Man-City you won't be missed.

Agree9 Disagree7

Went to the game today, Torres seems to be too quick for our midfield. He makes the runs but they are happy to go side to side(5 times in a row at 1 point today!) Even when Lukaku came on, he was pointing and moving with no ball played to him. So this needs to be sorted, either sell Torres(hope not) or get the players (current or new) to speed the passing up.

Agree7 Disagree1

It bother me that our 50 million! ill repeat 50 million pound player cant score!! do you mind if i dont support man city n stick with chelsea tho!! pretty pleaseeeeeee.........by far the most idiotic post iv seen on hear! do you honestly expect people to be happy about the torres situation?

Agree7 Disagree2

Ed Do you know anything of Kalou going to the Arse?
Also would it involve a swap with Arshavin?
Hopefully not !
thanks. {Ed002's Note - There has been long term interest but they would need to sell first - it seems unlikely.}

Believable1 Unbelievable3

Thats why I wondered if the Arshavin swap rumour might apply..but I really cant see any sense in that deal can you?

Agree2 Disagree2

I rather have arshavin than that donkey

pinky

Agree4 Disagree3

Arshavin is their Malouda. So no thank you.

ED002: Are we interested in Rodwell? {Ed002's Note - Not at the price Everton are asking - over £20M.}

Believable2 Unbelievable1

Will we negotiate, or Everton are not willing to budge? {Ed002's Note - I have no idea.}

Agree1 Disagree0

But ED, given the amounts paid for the likes of Henderson, Milner and the rest of top English talent, we shouldn't look for a bargain deal, should we? 20 mil or thereabouts sound like a fair amount. {Ed002's Note - The club disagree.}

Agree0 Disagree1

That is sad, then. I trust in Chelsea's management, but in order to get that price down, there also must be Rodwell's willingness to move. From what i hear, he hasn't said anything about it.

Agree0 Disagree0

08 Jan 2012 16:53:03
Ramires could be what we need to solve Lampard's retirement/leaving. Looks like he could score a few more if he gets the chances. Lampard also keeps popping up with a few goals, but a win is a win!
CFCFOREVER!

Believable10 Unbelievable0

He seems to get better all the time a great little terrier in the middle for a smallish bloke he aint scared of putting in the tackles

Agree9 Disagree0

Hi Ed, know any more about a deal being agreed with Porto for Hulk? Rumours are spreading like wildfire! {Ed002's Note - Nope.}

Believable2 Unbelievable4

Just have, Sorry thanks Ed.

Chelsea are due to renew their interest in Stephan El Shaarawy as he is holding out on a new contract at AC Milan. Manchester United are also alerted to this situation.

Latest news on Gary Cahill is that they are due to annouce the signing of him either after this evening game, or monday morning/afternoon. This is due to personal terms being agreed yesterday evening.

Claudio Marchisio having a fantastic season at Juventus so far. Is their any interest on Chelsea's behalf or any other club for that matter Ed? {Ed002's Note - I don't see him being available.}

Believable1 Unbelievable0

Any interest in Ross Barkley from Everton? He seems like a good young english prospect.

Agree0 Disagree0

Ed what is the latest on goetze ?? Thanks and keep up the good work {Ed002's Note - Arsenal, Manchester United and Barcelona were previously knocked back by his club and Goetze himself has made it clear that he is happy to stay at Dortmund for this season, although no doubt a very significant offer would be listened to. Real Madrid may be able to persuade him to move. He has identified his favourite teams as Barcelona and Arsenal. There is also interest also from AC Milan - and I suspect that they are shifting their interest in Ganso or Fernando to Goetze due to persisting non-EU quota issues. Given that speculation seems to have come to a frenzied head, it will certainly do no harm to say that the long anticpated but previously unpublisized interest in Goetze is from Chelsea. The reason I did not previously say who the player the club were interested in was simply because the club was very keen that it were kept quiet, particularly given that there is no assurance at all that a transfer will be achievable, certainly in the January window. Dortmund have bought Marco Reus, a local player that was on their books as a kid and this may result in Goetze being available in the summer. Chelsea among others have an interest in him. Chelsea know that there will be pressure from elsewhere to buy the player - most notably AC Milan, PSG and the major Spanish sides - and are of the opinion that a move to England will probably not come about.}

08 Jan 2012 12:55:26
Do Chelsea still have interest in Van Der Wiel Ed ? {Ed002's Note - If he were available but he wants to move elsewhere. As such Chelsea have moved on and are more interest in Azpilicueta.}

Believable2 Unbelievable2

08 Jan 2012 11:56:08
Ed, is there any truth on Lampard going on a free to PSG or is it just paper talk? {Ed002's Note - I don't know that he will be leaving on a free transfer to PSG, but he is well in to his 30s and he is aware the club have been try find long term replacements for the older folk, so at some point he will leave. I suspect there will be more attactive offers available than PSG when this happens.}

Believable1 Unbelievable0

08 Jan 2012 11:27:43
Ed is there still interest in marko marin {Ed002's Note - Not that I am aware. AC Milan, Chelsea, Liverpool, Spurs, Napoli, Juventus and Roma have all shown an interest in Marko Marin in the past and I hear that Arsenal are interested at the moment. Much will depend on whether or not Liverpool make the Champions League as to whether he is a viable option or not; and the summer is a considerable distance away at present. Perhaps Italy is the most likely destination, and I understand his preferred destination.

HI Ed
do you know if we have any genuine interest in Barrios of Borrusia Dortmund as we have been linked with him for some time and in this window aswell, or is it just paper talk?
Thanks {Ed002's Note - I don't know what the papers are saying but Wolfsburg, Espanyol and Sevilla are known to be interested. He has struggled to get back in the starting line-up after injury and does not seem happy with sitting on the bench. But I would expect Dortmund to be looking for a replacement striker as they already know that there is interest in Lewandowski and whilst they have their target set as Welliton I am not so sure they would let both players leave. I also think if he gets a run of games he will stop bleating and stay.}

Believable2 Unbelievable1

08 Jan 2012 10:01:16
Hi ed, do you expect Chelsea to sign Gary Cahill in the next couple of days? {Ed002's Note - I cannot put exact dates on when transfers will happen, but it is likely he will soon sign.}

Believable2 Unbelievable0

08 Jan 2012 06:42:03
Ed, can u pls give some info about the youth team and who among them is xpected to make it through. {Ed002's Note - I know very little about them. Ake and Chalobah are certainly seen as very good prospects.}

Ed (or anyone else) , he Sunday mirror are saying that Essien is set to make a return for the reserves next week. I know you've said the club are aimin for around February I think? Do you know if what they are reporting is true? {Ed002's Note - I have no idea. He has done some training and will obviously have a run out with the reserves at some point.}

Believable3 Unbelievable1

07 Jan 2012 23:52:50
Do you expect Chelsea to bid for Moura this winter, or is it more probable that they will make an effort in the summer? Thanks ed. {Ed002's Note - I would not think so and I doubt he will leave Brazil for perhaps a year or two.}

Believable1 Unbelievable2

07 Jan 2012 22:57:17
Are we looking at signing Marek Hamsik this transfer window? {Ed002's Note - Not right now to the best of my knowledge.}

Hi ed, do you have any news on the proposed further negotiations with Higuain or have they not taken place yet? {Ed002's Note - Chelsea have yet to decide what they wish to do. If I had to guess I would say they will not follow this up just yet.}

Believable1 Unbelievable2

If they decide against taking things futher with higuain, is there someone else they will turn there attention to? cavani has been mentioned by you ED is there anyone else, that could be a viable option {Ed002's Note - The preference would be for Cavani. I am not going to speculate about others, there was strong interest in Vargas as I explained.}

Agree0 Disagree1
