Hi Eds
Are Chelsea interested in Ivan Toney? Also is his ban likely to keep him out for long (based on any precedent)?
Btw, I did have a search and last result was 10 months ago, so apologies if I've missed any more recent update, and thanks again for all the work you do here
Hoping that the club can build on their difficult season and get the players fulfilling their undoubted potential.
{Ed002's Note - No, Chelsea have made no approach for Toney.}

I hope this doesn’t sound like a random name plucked out of the air, Marcus thuram, free transfer in summer I think, was possibly down the list for us previously, would be good option with preferred choice Thuram and Brojaatt club,

Hello ed
There are some rumours of Mateo Kovacic being interested in leaving.
Are there any teams interested in buying him at the moment?
FWIW I think that on his day, he's a great player for us, and it's a shame he's suffered with more than his fair share of injuries while at the club.
{Ed002's Note - I am not aware of him asking Chelsea for a move. Inter Milan have sustained interest but even with Nicolo Barella perhaps departing in the summer they have preferred options. Chelsea will not want to sell.
1.) 21 Feb 2023 17:44:35
Anything from chelsea regarding barella?

Thanks ed for the reply, much appreciated.

Hi ed
Do Chelsea hold any interest in Kyle Walker-Peters of Southampton?
{Ed002's Note - They did last summer. I rather doubt he would move to play as cover so the ideal solution would be someone more versatile to replace Azpilicueta.
1.) 13 Jan 2023 12:24:08
Hello ED002, Are we looking to replace CA this window and at the same time find cover for Reece?
Would you mind sharing targets we are looking at for that position Long term as well.
We will be or have lost 4 stalwarts in Rudiger / Thigo Silva / Azpi / Alonso
we have replaced with Cucurella / Fofana / BB
I still feel we need a CB and RB/ RWB/ RCB.
{Ed002's Note - You should not try to tien transfers to windows. I am not going to share targets.}

Hi eds
Is any club interested in signing Ross Barkley over the summer?
Could his last action for us be the penalty in the FA Cup final?
{Ed002's Note - Not right now.}
1.) 09 Jun 2022 16:18:38
Thanks Ed for the quick reply.
I hope for the player's sake that he can find a new club and get back to playing.
2.) 09 Jun 2022 20:03:33
He’s a idiot, shame really, cuz for 15 million I think he could of been a great player for us.
08 Jan 2020 16:49:42
According to Goal. com's Robin Bairner, Chelsea have made a bid for Metz striker Habib Diallo. Could he be the competition for Tammy that we need?
{Ed002's Note - Habib Diallo (S) has an agent who has decided it is his time to step up after his time at Metz and the hype has been serious. Certainly there is interest from Fenerbahce and Watford (although the coach has since moved on) although the coach has insisted that he will not be sold in January whilst Metz are fighting relegation. Norwich, Toulouse and Newcastle have all scouted the player but I am not aware of any declaration of interest being made at this time. The lady from Toulouse says he would be perhaps a good championship-level player in England.}

Thanks for the reply Ed! Incredibly thorough and detailed response as always!

Reading reports from Spain (Marca, El Diario) that Alonso will move to Atletico Madrid this summer!
If he goes, who should replace him - both in a banned or non-banned situation?
Also, any of the eds able to substantiate the rumour?
1.) 30 May 2019 19:45:00
Banned has to be Jay da Silva coming back from loan. I would absolutely love to add Alex Telles to this squad in order to provide width down the left and he would be my choice in a non-banned scenario.
2.) 30 May 2019 20:05:23
If we don't appeal then i'd still sell him and have Jay Dasilva as backup to Emerson. That's if Jay would be willing to be a backup. If we appeal and can buy then i'd go and get Telles, he's pretty much turned into the new Hulk with us being linked to him every window. He'd be an excellent signing though, has everything you look for in a modern day full back.
3.) 30 May 2019 20:45:10
Chilwell would be my first choice if the ban remains. If not then Aina first then Da Silva. Aina has proved to be a very versatile full back for Torino but I’ve heard he’s signing for them. Think Chilwell is quality and the more homegrown we have the better. If not him then Telles.
Even if the ban remains and we can offload the likes of Zappacosta, Alonso, Drinkwater, Morata and Bakayoko we’ve still improved the squad.
4.) 30 May 2019 22:40:05
No worries if Marcos Alonso has agreed a deal to join Athletico Madrid- as long as Athletico pay £70m for him.
5.) 30 May 2019 23:33:11
I’d take 7 million personally. But I think £20 million would be a fair fee.
6.) 31 May 2019 08:58:10
20 mil for a goal scoring LB . no way has to be higher . but id like to stay away from discussing money.
he has done well for us . id like for him to stay and compete with emerson if the ban stays. i think if we had a good striker he would do even better in the attacking phase . defensivly he can do much better.
7.) 31 May 2019 09:19:36
I think this Alonso's sudden desire to join Athletico Madrid feels like tantrum that he's throwing against Sarri and the club; but I honestly think that it won't help him cos it's coming at the very wrong time.
28 Sep 2017 06:02:23
Now that we're well into the new season, looking at the squad we're a bit short on depth at left-back and striker.
Alonso has been great, but can't play every game, and if one of our strikers gets injured we'd be struggling to have game changers on the bench.
Since we missed out on Llorente and Sandro in the summer, any idea of new targets in these positions - maybe even for a January signing?
1.) 28 Sep 2017 08:38:22
give it a rest.
we have had a gd start to the season and its know where near jan yet. relax.
2.) 28 Sep 2017 09:24:16
OMG. Take a look at the results and then take a chill pill.
3.) 28 Sep 2017 10:18:23
Hilarious post haha.
4.) 28 Sep 2017 13:21:20
Fez, take a look at Batshuyi's goal to minutes ratio!
5.) 28 Sep 2017 23:18:26
Jesus Christ, calm down. Anyway llorente was always a pathetic option.
6.) 29 Sep 2017 23:24:08
dont think we need new targets were going queite ok llorente is a donkey batshuayi will prove hopefully why llorente going to spurs was right move for us.
12 May 2023 14:26:16
Conor Gallagher is very pretty - agree!
22 Feb 2023 19:46:20
Thanks ed for the reply, much appreciated.
09 Jun 2022 16:18:38
Thanks Ed for the quick reply.
I hope for the player's sake that he can find a new club and get back to playing.
19 Jul 2021 16:55:32
I reckon that there will be an article saying 'sources' link us to these 2 players within a couple of days!
01 Jun 2021 08:53:28
Sad to hear that about Tammy, but we seem to have done pretty well in the 2nd half of the season without him.
If Giroud and Tammy both leave then we'll definitely be needing a new face up front.
21 May 2023 17:01:56
Loving the new positive attitude! We've created 2 big chances to their 1, maybe Lampard "coached the win" again!

'Woke manager? '
I wonder what Ron Atkinson's doing these days.
12 May 2022 08:51:29
Pleased with the win, and glad that we managed to rest Silva, Azpi, and Kanté, all of whom might be starting at the weekend. Only overshadowed by the injury to Kova, sounds like it could keep him out at the weekend, and he'll be a big miss for us.
14 Jan 2022 15:45:49
Thank you eds, we appreciate the work you do.
