Ed, do Chelsea hold an interest in Kingsley Coman? Or do you expect Bayern to retain him?

Rory Byrne

{Ed002's Note - Bayern plan on keeping him - if the player is not keen Chelsea has declared an interest.}


1.) 13 Mar 2017 14:45:35
Interesting, thanks as always Ed002!


2.) 13 Mar 2017 19:05:44
Totally unrelated to the coman story but really was there much point bringing ake back the lads played once rarely makes the bench would have been much better for his development to stay at bournemouth i know its united but would have liked to have seen chalobah and zouma start.


3.) 16 Mar 2017 13:09:47
Whilst I don't have any real knowledge I'd assume that his loan had a clause which would have allowed Bournemouth to purchase him rather cheaply and we recalled him to avoid it. Pure speculation though.


4.) 17 Mar 2017 13:06:45
He's been brought back to understand 'The Chelsea way. ' Then he will be in the First XI as of next year.

Hi Eds, If Kyrchowiak follows Emery to PSG might Verrati's future lie elsewhere? I remember you saying Conte may ask for Chelsea to sign him. Given the difficulty we seem to be having with other midfield targets I thought it might be a possiblity. Thanks.

Rory Byrne

{Ed002's Note - Verratti stays Rory. Nobody will be willing to pay the price.}


1.) 29 Jun 2016 20:15:30
Thats a shame, he'd bring a lot to our team. Thanks for the quick reply Ed!

Hi Ed, I see Roma have just signed Antonio Rudiger permanently after his successful loan last season. I know Chelsea made an effort to sign him last year, do you think the interest will continue this summer? Cheers mate.

Rory Byrne

{Ed002's Note - Yes, Chelsea are one of the interested sides.}


1.) 31 May 2016 01:23:15
Thanks Ed. he'd be a decent signing for us but definitely not my first choice CB target.


 

 

27 Jul 2015 13:49:19
Ed018, is there any news on outgoings? Loans or otherwise. Thanks as always.

Rory Byrne

{Ed018's Note - I've got nothing right now. I still think Rahman will come in as it stands and another bid for Stones at some point}


1.) 27 Jul 2015 19:45:12
Thanks Ed. I think Rahman will turn out to be a very good signing if it happens.


 

 

14 Jul 2015 18:25:38
Ed18 are Chelsea still interested in Varane?

Rory Byrne

{Ed018's Note - yea but I wouldn't expect anything to happen with him this summer}


1.) 14 Jul 2015 19:36:11
Cheers Ed!


2.) 14 Jul 2015 19:48:56
I'd be intrigued if he doesn't get much time with Rafa at the beginning of the year if he'd look to move.


3.) 14 Jul 2015 20:43:11
I don't think Rafa will let that happen. I really want him playing for us and I had hoped that the player himself would want to play for Mourinho again. Shame it's unlikely.


4.) 14 Jul 2015 23:02:50
I wouldn't be surprised for Rafa to have orders from the top to be the "sacrificial" manager that gets the job of phasing out some of the older guys. Somewhat comparable to when avb came with the intentions of cutting back the roles of some of our more experienced guys.

Enjoy the game tonight one and all. These are the nights that its all about. Hopefully we'll get the result we all crave!

Win or lose up the blues!

Ed018 is there any possibility we might recall Christensen and pay Monchegladbach whatever compensation. Not only are we short on quality at the back but the depth is non existant. 5 defenders for a 50 game season.

Rory Byrne

{Ed018's Note - I wouldn't think so. It might not even be possible depending on the condition of the loan agreement}


1.) 26 Aug 2016 21:29:00
We'll only play 50 games IF we do well in both cups. Otherwise it's a 41 game season for us mate. (So far. Inc 2nd/ 3rd round of LC and 3rd round of FA Cup) .


 

 

08 Jun 2016 13:06:27
Mkhitaryan would be a fantastic signing for Arsenal. I hope we aren't out of the running yet. If we can't sign him then maybe someone like Bellarabi would be a good alternative?

Rory Byrne

1.) 09 Jun 2016 09:56:37
I'm not sure that Bellarabi would be good enough. Afterall, he isn't even picked for Germany's squad (although people are really unhappy about that, but still. ) .


 

 

02 Jun 2016 18:53:43
Was looking through some of the other rumour sites and saw Ed002 mention on the Real Madrid page that Pjanic was heading to Chelsea. Ed is that still the case or has that deal stalled? Thanks!

Rory Byrne

{Ed002's Note - That was a while ago and I explained that there was a problem blocking it.}


1.) 02 Jun 2016 21:18:43
Is the problem pogba (I jest)


2.) 02 Jun 2016 23:53:14
Fair enough thanks again Ed002!

Happy New Year to all posters and Eds. Seems like a long time ago that we won the league but i'm sure we'll be back to winning ways in the no to distant future.

Thanks for all the info Ed002 and Ed018. On that note, Ed018 where have you been man? Havent heard from you in a long time!
Be well everyone.
KTBFFH.

Rory Byrne

{Ed018's Note - I've been around pretty much every day. I just don't have as much time right now to get involved in the discussions as I used. Happy New Year to you as well}

Jardim is the best realistic option in my opinion. Need to stay away from Enrique I think.

Thanks again Ed, much appreciated as always.
If we end up with Cancelo, Ox, Drinkwater and Sandro/ Bertrand that would be a fantastic window in my opinion.

We need a left footed CB to give us balance building from the back. Too often the RCB has to pass back inside instead of forwards. Having Azpi-esque crosses coming from the left aswell would give Morata twice as much ammunition and would be twice as hard for opposition to shut down.

He's definitely a little hard done by not to have been the given the chance to build on his great performance in the cup. Definitely could have been given minutes off the bench in the last few league games.

That being said complaining about squad issues on social media is pretty immature and inappropriate in my opinion.

He signed for Milan earlier in the summer mate.

Good player and think he'd do well but think our focus will be on Morata, Lukaku and Dembele.

I agree. wouldn't be surprised if we signed both Lukaku and Morata. Costa looks to be off and Conte clearly doesn't fancy Batshuayi. We definitely need 3 first team strikers next year as we'll have more games and Conte will want to have the option of starting two up top. Think Traore is ready to be back in the squad but Tammy would be better served by another loan. He needs to get as much minutes as possible.
