Hi Ed002 - hope you're well.

Given Lukaku is gone, and Werner is looking likely to leave, do you believe Chelsea will add at least one more specialist Forward player this window after Sterling? Would a sale/ loan of Werner be contingent on their belief he would be replaced in the squad?

Fantastic to see the investment and foundation being laid in defence and midfield, but we do seem light int he forward areas.

{Ed002's Note - Chelsea have forward in mind, so an addition is likely.}

Ed is too much to ask for you to share who Chelsea have in mind for the forward role? David, Depay, Anthony?

{Ed002's Note - I am no longer providing such information to the Chelsea page.}

Osimhen! loading, come on.


3.) 03 Aug 2022 14:00:56
Benjamin Sesko! loading too, come on Chelsea.


4.) 03 Aug 2022 15:42:20
Oh, that is just mean, not letting us know. lol.

Ronaldo? For a few years.


6.) 03 Aug 2022 17:39:39
It’s Hulk!


7.) 03 Aug 2022 20:40:24
Freddy Adu.


8.) 03 Aug 2022 21:04:11
Is it Ashley Barnes.


9.) 03 Aug 2022 21:24:46
I bet we’re going to lure Bendtner out of retirement.


10.) 04 Aug 2022 08:42:46
Big Andy caroll now we have all these great crossers.


11.) 04 Aug 2022 08:57:42
It’s Aubameyang.


12.) 04 Aug 2022 20:10:07
Sesko maybe?

Hi Ed, I wondered if any decision had been made over a loan destination for Malang Sarr?

Gecko

{Ed002's Note - I am not able to help with the defence. The experts will tell you the decision that has been made.}

Ah ok, thought that policy was just for potential signings.

Hi Ed002.

The Kai Havertz transfer is a big talking point in football due to his fee and apparent talent and future potential, which has meant dozens of "insiders" and journalists are lining up to give differing accounts of how "done" it is, the apparent fee, and take a punt at a completion date.

Those of us who come on here know that, fundamentally, you're reliable because you a) don't gain anything from speculating (apart from grief) and b) don't make statements that aren't well qualified.

So when yesterday you said "The transfer is being concluded in Germany by a lawyer working for Chelsea" - can we take from this that the broad-strokes are agreed between the clubs, and what's left is dotting i's, crossing t's, and some finer legal details?

Gecko

{Ed002's Note - The statement is true and correct - I don't know why you want to try and read things into it.}


1.) 28 Aug 2020 12:36:18
Basically just trying to get to grips with how close this is, without asking the "how soon" or "how likely" questions we know you don't like.

Cheers.


2.) 28 Aug 2020 13:01:16
It’s close, I wouldn’t worry too much about it mate. Big transfers always take longer.

Hi Ed, I've had a scan through the posts before asking, but is it possible for you to provide a list of potential outgoings from Chelsea this summer (or has the squad review still to be done? )

Thanks in advance.

Gecko

{Ed002's Note - Nothing has changed from the very lengthy and detailed list I previously provided.}


1.) 16 Jul 2020 13:46:58
Ah ok great, thanks, I'll have another delve as I didn't see that.


 

 

28 Feb 2020 18:13:44
thanks for the list of potential outgoings Ed. I note Emerson isn't on it, which is a bit of a surprise given he seems well out of Lampard's plans and not being named as injured?

Gecko

{Ed002's Note - There has been no decision made - three clubs enquired after him in January but Chelsea did not want to sell him then. Plans of the summer will soon be discussed by those at the club and others who advise.}


1.) 28 Feb 2020 20:08:23
Fair enough, thanks for the response.

Given Tammy, Michy Batshuayi, Broja and Ugbo are all about to be gone does this mean Chelsea may need to look at adding another forward? I know Tuchel tends to play Havertz in the middle of a three at times but we're a bit short up there suddenly in heads as well as goals.

Gecko

1.) 17 Aug 2021 10:37:03
He will use Havertz, Lukaku, Werner and Pulisic as strikers. Mount and Ziyech as CAM.
Chelsea badly needs one more CM/ CDM.


2.) 17 Aug 2021 11:05:56
That means formation switch to 3412 which TT played in final vs Man. City.

Hi Ed002 - a while back you mentioned Van Ginkel as an option for this season, just wondered if his future was any clearer yet? Hard to tell with no real pre-season to see whose in the mix and who's likely to be loaned out.

Gecko

{Ed002's Note - Van Ginkel's contract has been extended by a year. There was a plan for him but that has been put to one side for now.}

Hi Ed002, understand if this isn't something you want to or can share, but given the start of this month is when Morata's transfer to Atletico Madrid became 'final' and you mentioned the two clubs may come to an agreement which may ease Atletico's financial situation, did anything get agreed?

Gecko

{Ed002's Note - Yes everything is agreed.}


 

 

09 Jun 2020 14:43:24
I must admit I'm not really clear on the role someone like Havertz would play at Chelsea? Or, rather, we have players currently in his position in Mount and Barkley, or am I getting confused about where he can play?

Gecko

1.) 09 Jun 2020 15:04:30
hed certainly be ahead of barkley judging by the raving reviews he's been getting, ed mentioned chelsea would listen to offers for barkley to be sold although they aren't actively pushing a sale.


2.) 09 Jun 2020 16:02:19
We will play 2 defensive midfeilders mainly kante and Kovacic, and havertz would be CAM with mount either wing or being back up to havertz.


3.) 09 Jun 2020 19:33:04
I think we are getting ahead of ourselves. It feels like the Paul pogba saga . we have not even sealed the deal for Timo . Kai would be amazing but will wait till ed002 confirms.


4.) 09 Jun 2020 20:03:24
Welll i agree dareryk, I too would wait for solid info from Ed but I think most of the fan base is excited mostly because the club have identified their primary targets for Nd made a move early on, which would give the players time to gel together during pre season. In the recent past we have left our transfers go down to the wire which has caused us to over pay and go for players that were way down on our list.

I for one I’m happy about the initiative shown and I’m patiently waiting for the Werner confirmation before I can begin to process the Harvertz move all in all I think there is a lot to be positive about as a blue.


5.) 09 Jun 2020 20:50:11
The buzz at the moment is fa fantastic!

It’s like the early Roman days! We can only dream but sometimes dreams do come true!

Hi Ed002 - really interesting and detailed update re: Juve on the Euro page.

You mention Atletico's financial issues, and potentially being eased with the help of Chelsea - I wondered if that meant an agreement over the Morata fee, and if so what would be in it for Chelsea to facilitate that?

All the best.

Sorry, just to check I've read that right: Christensen, Azpilicueta and Alonso will all be joining Barcelona from Chelsea this summer?

Gecko

{Ed002's Note - I expect so.}

Hi Ed, yes Chelsea have announced surgery on Chilwell this afternoon. Such a shame for him.

Gecko

{Ed002's Note - I know that - but when did they say they would sign someone else?}

Easy to forget he's only 27. We've seen flashes of a really, really good player for us and also whilst on loan - fingers crossed for him and us, as I imagine from an FFP perspective he's a very cheap squad member Vs the cost and his overall ability.
