Hey ed2, do Chelsea have an interest in Cavani still?
{Ed002's Note - No.}
19 Oct 2015 15:25:12
Hey ed are the rumours about Falcaos loan being cut short true? I doubt it but was just wondering, don't bother a reply if it's false! Thanks!
{Ed002's Note - I am not aware of any such plans at this time.}
1.) 21 Oct 2015 04:30:06
Thank you mate.
09 Sep 2015 17:04:21
Hey Ed2 , is there still interest in Varane and do you see us pursuing him next summer?
{Ed002's Note - There is interest but Chelsea has been told he is not for sale.}
1.) 09 Sep 2015 19:19:41
Okay thanks!
22 Aug 2015 00:10:42
Screw you guys. You have gotten my hopes up for Pogba!
Ed2. I'm so sorry to keep asking but if there is any chance you could shed ANY light , I will post a song to you on youtube for you and link it here. I'm desperate
{Ed018's Note - a special great from Ed002 - I will confirm that Chelsea, or in some cases, third parties, are looking to complete a number of transactions over the next 10 days. One of these is indeed Pogba who, as I previously explained, has been the subject of discussion for some months.}
1.) 22 Aug 2015 00:39:35
Could any light be shed on any of the transactions and whom they may involve.
{Ed018's Note - Pogba for one. Griezmann as well}
2.) 22 Aug 2015 00:46:25
Wow. Our squad would be amazing if we could add those guys.Fingers crossed! Thanks for the info Ed018 and Ed002.
3.) 22 Aug 2015 00:47:17
Cheers eds for the info. Appreciated as always
4.) 22 Aug 2015 01:05:07
Disregard Griezmann. Was told he won't be moving
5.) 22 Aug 2015 01:08:27
So Griezmann off, Pogba maybe still on?
Any other players you can name ED's?
{Ed018's Note - correct. Give me a bit. I'll give an update on this thread if possible}
6.) 22 Aug 2015 01:17:34
Okay Ed thanks. Not too bothered about Greizmann we're stacked in his position. But yeah any more info would be great - cheers anyway everyone here really appreciates what you guys do!
7.) 22 Aug 2015 01:36:41
You guys are legends! Thanks so much ed18, and of course ed2
8.) 22 Aug 2015 09:07:21
Some great updates thanks Edds one question for ye after kavacic moved to Madrid does that open up a possibility for us to test them with a bid for Isco?
{Ed018's Note - doesn't look that way}
9.) 22 Aug 2015 12:24:03
Well I'm waiting for that song Hazard ;-)
10.) 22 Aug 2015 22:49:35
thanks for the updates both eds.
18 Aug 2015 13:20:36
Ed018 , know of any interest in any new players?
Thanks for all the help!
{Ed018's Note - no. It was mentioned that they would like to bring in 1 or 2 new attacking players and they would probably try for Griezmann. That's all I've got.}
1.) 18 Aug 2015 15:40:33
Isco is apparently avaliable. He would make a much sense as Greizman.
2.) 18 Aug 2015 17:07:16
Ed018, one more question, I remember reading something where Chelsea stepped back from any deal to sign Marco Reus some time aback because of a significant issue becaoming clear. Have you any idea what this issue was or is? Can you please shed some light on this if you possibly could.
{Ed018's Note - I don't know what the issue was or is}
3.) 18 Aug 2015 19:23:25
I explained in a previous comment but it appeared nobody believed it. Go into Google or similar and explore newspaper reports regarding Reus driving without a licence and speeding and being fined the largest amount ever in Germany, some £427,000 at the time there was speculation that Chelsea were close to signing him. Within days of that fine believed to have been paid by his Club he was investigated again for continuing, an investigation that is possibly still on-going. Therefore I cannot see Chelsea resurrecting their interest.
4.) 18 Aug 2015 20:16:20
Im sure we can stretch to an oyster card
5.) 18 Aug 2015 20:20:25
I saw that Frensham - best explanation I've heard. Seriously regrettable, as Reus would be my preferred offensive reenforcement. I know getting a license is a pain but lots of people seem to manage.
6.) 18 Aug 2015 23:05:38
Thanks ed, really appreciate you

Hey ed2, just wanted your opinion on whether Michael emenalo has done a good a good job at Chelsea or not? See a lot of posts attacking him and personally feel they are unjustified. What are your thoughts in how he's worked at the club, if time allows
Thanks.
{Ed002's Note - Emenalo has done nothing wrong.}
1.) 18 Dec 2015 08:45:47
I think people are looking for excuse but I did comment yesterday and previously that Emenalo had done well but the manager has been unable to convert the players bought. In the last 5yrs our signing have been with purpose for young and talented players. Most who have left have gone on to be big at other clubs and we have not made any loss before Jose came and started signing 26yrs+ player some of whom he has not even played. Danger of signing 26yrs+ is if it doesn't workout then you have a loss and less possibility of development. We have the best crop of young players in England. So surely its not Emenalo problem if the manager fails to harness the potential in these players.
2.) 18 Dec 2015 08:49:39
I don't think the responsibility of signing players over the age of 26 lies solely or even predominantly with Jose. Transfers are decided on by a group of staff rather than just one man.
3.) 18 Dec 2015 09:49:29
I might be wrong, but I find it hard to believe that Papy Djilobodji was a signing that JM pushed for. Just saying.
4.) 18 Dec 2015 10:15:42
or Hector, Rahman and Pedro!
5.) 18 Dec 2015 12:38:54
I cannot believe you all in this post stand by Emenalo. The guy has to take some responsibility over this. Aren't Directors liable in Business? I am not sure he is even qualified for that job, anyway.
6.) 18 Dec 2015 14:00:34
I don't think any of the replies to this post are standing behind Emenalo particularly?
7.) 18 Dec 2015 15:58:14
Personally I don't think Emenalo has done a bad job. The work him and the scouting department have done which has brought in some of the best youth players such as KDB, Lukaku, Zouma, Courtois, Kenedy, Pasalic etc. Even other players like Azpi, Hazard, Oscar, Matic, Willian have been brought in since he became technical director.
This past summer window was poor but I don't think that's down to him but the board who believed we didn't need significant reinforcements. Some signings haven't worked out since JM came back but that's probably more down to them either not being JM's first choice or the fact they couldn't settle in England. Either way I don't think Emenalo is to blame for our current woes.
03 Dec 2015 07:01:48
I like Mourinho, but will never forgive him for getting rid of Betrand, Kevin De Bruyne, Mata, and Lukaku.
Imagine our team if we still had them players.
1.) 03 Dec 2015 08:41:16
And we didn't hear you complain last season when we won the league.
2.) 03 Dec 2015 09:46:15
@ Hazard54, I bet there are still other players like those ones you mentioned above in the team, but you won't know until they leave Mourinho's team. Even in our youth players but Mou is not just going to play to players' strength but convert all of them to defenders including Costa.
I pity players like Oscar, Hazard others alike. That's the reason he's a short term manager as players tend to fall out with him in the long term and keeps buying new players to replace of course the unhappy ones. So expect more players to leave.
3.) 03 Dec 2015 12:35:09
Dastanj I actually posted last year letting rid of Kevin De Bruyne will come back to us, and was a supporter of Lukaku regardless of Ed2's comments about an apparent 'problem' there was.
I'm a Mourinho person; but I'm starting to believe he's not the long term manager we want. Then again, neither is Giordiola (who I want to manage our club)
4.) 03 Dec 2015 19:54:04
I understand what you are saying man but it's all in the past and it's time we look forward to the future.
5.) 03 Dec 2015 20:28:48
Bored of this topic as it seems to come up every fortnight now. Bertrand was very decent (but not top4 quality) at the point we sold him, plus we had the opportunity to sign what was the best LB in La Liga that year. Also whilst Bertrand is probably better than Rahman currently, I still don't think he's good enough for a top4 club.
We do miss some of Mata's creativity currently but when we sold him Oscar was on the rise and looked to be the better option overall.
KDB from what I remember wasn't training properly and was 4th choice and even had he stayed wouldn't have started in the no10 role and so likely wouldn't have developed as he has.
With regards to Lukaku, from what I remember JM actually wanted to keep him and there were efforts made to reconcile the situation but it had deterioted beyond hope.
I do get what you're saying but it'd not all JM's fault and had those players stayed they probably wouldn't have developed as much as they have. And if we're going to play the what if game. Imagine if Utd hadn't let go of Pique, Pogba, Ronaldo and Tevez.
6.) 05 Dec 2015 10:01:23 @Fuser, the concern is that we don't get to the best of our talents under Mourinho and we have so many of them year in year out because Mou's style doesn't suit them neither is it so appealing to us the neutrals, which is a hallmark of a big club. U sell a player who goes on to be better than what u have instead? Is Fab better than De Bruyne? I felt better watching Chelsea under Benitez with d three musketeers than now under Mou where we just win anyhow. We shall continue 2 be hated tagged bored with Mou bc his image is not appealing too. Sum all these and understand why he never lasted with a particular club.
7.) 05 Dec 2015 12:58:23
@Nelsonho, I do agree that currently JM isn't getting the best out of our players but you just have to look back to the start of last season and you'll see that he is capable of doing so.
The point I was trying to make is that everyone seems to lambast JM for selling KDB and Mata but hypothetically let's just say that he didn't. That would mean Oscar playing out as a RW and KDB being used as a rotation option likely only ever playing as a RW/LW. In such a case he wouldn't have developed into the player he is now.
Do you honestly think KDB from 2 years ago would have displaced any of the 3 amigos in the starting line-up and got the freedom and run in the team that he got at Wolfsburg? No, which means he likely wouldn't be the player he is today and you wouldn't be moaning about him.
Finally not all player sales are just down to the manager. Sometimes you are forced to sell players by outside forces. Ronaldo was sold my Utd and he's better than any player they have. Pique is better than any CB they have. Pogba looks like he could become a world beater and is probably better than any Utd CM.
8.) 05 Dec 2015 22:48:13
Fuser, the concern is that we don't get to the best out of our talents under Mourinho and we have so many of them year in year out because Mou's style doesn't suit them.

We shall continue to be hated and tagged boring with Mou. bc his image is not appealing either. Sum all this and understand why he never lasted with a particular club.
11 Nov 2015 08:10:54
3 realistic signings you would make to improve us lads?
Varane
Pogba
Greizzman.
1.) 11 Nov 2015 10:10:05
Stones
Isco
Greizmann.
2.) 11 Nov 2015 10:16:02
Greizman
Stones
Barkley.
3.) 11 Nov 2015 13:52:50
If we get top four: Marquinhos/Stones, Gundogan, Griezmann/Aubameyang
If we don't: Stones/Laporte, Xhaka, Lacazette/Yarmolenko.
4.) 11 Nov 2015 16:54:29
Top quality that; 3 realistic signings and then you said Varane, Pogba and Greizzman LOL you are seriously deluded. Try looking up the word realistic in the dictionary.
5.) 11 Nov 2015 19:09:38
Younis Kaboul, Bobby Zamora, Joey Barton = we need to prepare for the Championship!
6.) 12 Nov 2015 12:36:36

01 Nov 2015 10:45:04
Sad times fellas! Very sad times!
Bit of a poll/question thing
Agree if you feel mourinho should stay!
Disagree if Mourinho should be sacked!
1.) 01 Nov 2015 11:24:16
Really can't believe any Chelsea fan would want him sacked. We are in a huge slump but believe will be out of it, even stronger with Jose.
{Ed001's Note - who do you replace Jose with anyway? Who is there better out there to replace him? It seems crazy to sack him unless you have a better option lined up and I just don't see a better option. Only Ancelotti is out there that could really be considered better. Even that is questionable. I mean that could be brought in this season, so the likes of Pep Guardiola and Klopp etc can be effectively ruled out as replacements.}
2.) 01 Nov 2015 12:07:46
Personally I'd rather see the big players at the club leave before we get rid of Mourinho. If they don't want to play they can F**K OFF.
3.) 01 Nov 2015 12:24:18
We'll said lads! I actually thought he jury on here was mourinho out! Glad to see I was proved wrong!
4.) 01 Nov 2015 12:58:11
I know it's a cliche but the question has to be whether Mourinho has 'lost the dressing room'? From what I'm hearing he has lost the support of a significant number of the players and it all goes back to his behaviour towards Eva Carneiro who was well-liked. The players lost respect for Mourinho over that episode and Mourinho's failure to apologise. As someone posted on here yesterday, you can't sack all the players so where does that leave us?
5.) 01 Nov 2015 13:14:56
So let's just sack a manager every 6 months to keep the players happy. Let's set an example and sell every player who is against Mourinho.
6.) 01 Nov 2015 13:22:20
Agreed magical Eden. Sack Jose and continue the circus we've been in for last 10 years.
7.) 01 Nov 2015 13:41:10
I think the problem is our tactics, we are do boring going forward and I can't see it changi g as mourihno is stubborn and doesn't give youth a chance! We lose all the games so why not put rlc and traore/kenedy on each game?
8.) 01 Nov 2015 13:45:13
But that isn't going to happen, is it? Unfortunately, the players hold the power. So I ask again, where does that leave us?
9.) 01 Nov 2015 14:01:32
And I've just give you the answer can you not read? Whichever group of players are against Jose should be permanently dropped then SOLD!
10.) 01 Nov 2015 14:04:00
Sadly if results doesn't change in next two games, there is nothing else but just to sack mourihno.
11.) 01 Nov 2015 14:36:28
Carlo is a better choice with this group of players. Sorry but Jose is ruining this side. Need free flowing attacking football. Not this petty stand still and pass. Wether u like it or not, Jose ain't the man to manage players like hazard, pedro, Matic. Fabregas, Oscar! Baba, cheek, Ramires. We need quick football, not slow negative boring football. I'm sick of watching lack of movement. It's like football u see 7 year olds play all running towards the ball.
12.) 01 Nov 2015 14:40:56
Can you not read: this isn't going to happen - the players will not be sold - so where does that leave us - with half a squad that don't want to play for the manager, that's where! I agree that it is ridiculous to keep changing manager every year or 2 but, if you read back through my posts, I warned that reappointing Mourinho would not be a positive move - he has sold Mata, Lukaku and De Bruyne because he can never admit to being wrong and now Hazard wants away - and Mourinho will never place any trust in youth so we will probably lose a batch of the younger players presently out on loan and keep buying experience like Pedro and Luiz! AND we will have to put up with boring, defensive, turgid football. That's my case for why Mourinho should go - what's your case for him staying apart from 'but he's a Chelsea legend'!
13.) 01 Nov 2015 14:59:31
Totally disagree with the Ed here. Sometimes change is enough to bring back a de-moralised Team back on track. It does not have to be another fantastic manager initially anyway. Jose must go and he will. He is the trigger and not necessarily the cause of a Club that is going backwards and moving away from the very thing it is supposed to be representing i. e. FOOTBALL. It has become a Business that happens to include football instead of a football club using Business to fund itself.
{Ed001's Note - good point.}
14.) 01 Nov 2015 15:44:39
My issue with sacking Jose is that I don't think our poor performances are solely down to players lack of faith in him. Some players are just shadows of themselves this season and I don't think a new manager will change that.
15.) 01 Nov 2015 15:59:35
I cannot defend Mourinho's persistent behaviour with the media but I do not accept that he has gone from a 'God like' status to scapegoat in 10+ games. It is common knowledge that his Father is ill and that is a concern for all in that position but those that know how dig deep into the web and see what else he has to contend with. Hazard, Costa, Carneiro, Ivanovic and Emanalo; true or false but enough to stress anyone.
16.) 01 Nov 2015 16:53:09
Mrs. Costa you have forgotten names like Schurrle, David Luiz and above all Ryan Bertrand ( our biggest problem is left back position-since Bertrand left he became English international) . You already mentioned KDB, Lukaku and Mata.
17.) 01 Nov 2015 16:53:44
I just want an attacking manager, it's hard to sit through 90mins even when we win so defensive, could you imagine Real Madrid wingers bursting a gut to get back and defend? Or Barcalona wingers, no Do WHAT ATTACKERS DO BEST = ATTACK! # hazard, costa, Pedro, Willian, oscar, fabreagas! Square pegs round holes! Stop defensive boring crap mourinho!
18.) 01 Nov 2015 19:35:54
With regards to Jose staying or going will probably be decided in next week or two. But I read above saying to sell players who are not trying or playing for the manager.
My problem with those players to my mind are a disgrace. All these players are handsomely rewarded by the club, and idolised by the supporters. If they don't get on with the manager that's one thing but do they have no loyalty to the club or supporters. IMO opinion I agree that three or four players should be sold. I know ed said that would not happen, but when you consider those players that are not trying are possibly Oscar, matic, fabregas and sadly hazard. That is 150-160 million of anybody's money. That could get us 4-6 good players who work and do a good job. And show us and the club some loyalty.
Very sad thought after last year but I cannot believe those four players being as bad as they have without a little bit of intent to do so.
19.) 02 Nov 2015 12:21:28
Kevin de Bruyne (Been on fire at Wolfsburg and Man. City)
Juan Mata (Has been one of United's better players since moving)
Andre Schurrle (Has been brilliant for Wolfsburg)
Mohamed Salah (Has been on fire ever since leaving)
David Luiz (In a DM role he was brilliant)
Romelu Lukaku (Scoring consistently for Everton and is better than Costa imo)
Peter Cech (Should have never accepted an offer from Arsenal, PSG or Juventus)
{Ed002's Note - There was good reason for 6 of those players leaving.}
31 Oct 2015 11:59:59
Great lineup tonight! Absolutely brilliant to see Mikel for me!
Yes I might be a big fan. :)
Go Chels! KTBFFH.
1.) 31 Oct 2015 12:48:32
Mikel!?
You must be joking.
{Ed018's Note - I'm not the biggest Mikel fan but Matic and Fabregas don't need to be any where near the starting lineup right now}
2.) 31 Oct 2015 13:01:50
Play zouma there if not matic. Mikel has been awful so far and I have had enough of him in a Chelsea shirt.
3.) 31 Oct 2015 13:15:01
I must be Joking because I'm supporting a current Chelsea player?
You're the one that must be joking.
4.) 31 Oct 2015 13:47:59
I know mikel has had a couple of decent games but has been poor today and we need to get players forward quicker back up costa etc.
21 Dec 2015 11:09:59
Take a bow son! Appreciate it Ed2! And the rest of te editors on here.
21 Oct 2015 04:30:06
Thank you mate.

No thanks to ibra
28 Aug 2015 08:37:51
Welcome back ft9, the comebacks continue
26 Dec 2015 10:37:12
But that is what was said about Belerin of arsenal, Sterling of Liverpool ect. Why not give them a chance.
{Ed002's Note - I think you will find Liverpool sold Sterling.}
23 Dec 2015 10:00:04
Giordiola would be slow possession football, then a quick switch and fast attack
Simeone would be fast counter attacks.
22 Dec 2015 12:19:56
I would be dissapointed with Simeone. Not his biggest fan.
17 Dec 2015 07:09:53
I understand that! And support Mourinho, but why play them if they're not giving there all? Maybe this is why Loftus-Cheek is getting in the team.
But Kenedy, Traore, Remy, no excuse imo.
15 Dec 2015 13:13:20
Stability? Which team has manègerial stability world wide, and is successful?
Only ferguson. Stability can be put on hold, a club the size of Chelsea cannot be 15th at Christmas. It's a joke. I'm not just blaming mourinho but it's not working. At all.
He must change it round, and quick, or he must be sacked.
