Ed is there anything to update regarding Mikel, there were rumours a few days ago about bids from Napoli/Gala. Is this true and do you think he may leave? {Ed002's Note - Galatasaray put a bid on the table and there is a chance he will go. I am not aware of a bid from Napoli at this time.}

Ed if Mikel eventually gets sold would we look to bring in a replacement for that position or do the club feel we have sufficient cover in that position.? {Ed002's Note - The club has made an effort to buy a central midfield player in Khedira and failed. There remains interest in another but I would think he will stay where he is for another year.}

By any chance Ed is the other De Rossi? Thanks {Ed002's Note - No, he looks to be heading elsewhere.}

I think CM we are set. Lampard, V Ginkle, Essein, Ramires, De Bruyne can all play there if Mikel leaves.

With Lampard, Essein and Mikel probably not being there next season then would make sense to buy a cm.

Cough cough Kondogbia

I really hope that another player was Gundogan, please Ed, can you tell me, I hope I'll live the day Chelsea signs a deep lying playmaker.
