Ed002, is our search for a DoF going as expected? You don't have to give us names, just any update will be fine.

{Ed002's Note - I don't know what you mean by as expected. Chelsea will not make a knee jerk appointment.}

I mean you talked about us being in contact with three individuals. Is there any update from that?
Agree0

{Ed002's Note - There are now two individuals and the club might well appoint one at some point.}

Ed001, after our interactions and watching the players, I have realized that Insigne, Fekir and Brandt are probably the closest we can get to replacing Hazard. Hudson-Odoi's also an option but he will probably need some more development.
Any other names you can suggest Ed?

{Ed001's Note - Lozano? Thorgan Hazard? Rodrygo (of Santos)? Lookman? I would say Lemar but he seems unlikely to be moving again this soon. Bailey can play on the left as well. But for me it would be Hudson-Odoi who steps up.}

I do remember you saying Lozano and Bailey can't control the game like Hazard or a similar player does.
Agree0
Disagree0
{Ed001's Note - but you don't really have much in the way of options and you might be better off having less reliance on him. Plus you don't play the way that looks to Hazard to do it all now.}

Thanks, Ed.
Have we been linked to any of the above 9 players if you have heard about it or if Ed002 told you?
Agree0

{Ed001's Note - only Bailey that I can think of, but I think he is staying in Germany if I remember correctly.}

Brandt is more of a CAM similar to Ziyech if we’re going for a proper winger I think we need a left footer like Pepe or Bailey.

Hey Ed002 what options are available to mourinho in the summer? Also; if Sarri was to depart do you think Chelsea would entertain the idea of his third return?
Cheers mate hope you’re well.

Speak for yourself. I'd love Jose back. He's blue, through and through and ingrained in the club's history. A legend. Dare I say it, an icon. Has nostalgia blinded my views? No doubt. Still, he's top class and his family is based down the road. He's at home with us. He just needs to settle the **** down!

Whilst I don't doubt he has done a lot for the club, you have to move forwards and Jose would be a step back, especially with the crop of young talent we have coming through the academy.

Hi Ed002, I hope you're well. You very kindly answered a question of mine last month about Jim Ratcliffe and his interest in buying Chelsea. At the time you mentioned that despite having an offer rejected by Mr Abramovich you thought he would come back with another offer. Do you know if this is still the case? I read a quote from his brother saying that they were no longer interested in buying an English club due to their cost comparative to commercial value. This quote appeared at around the same time as Mr Buck spoke about Mr Abramovich's commitment to Chelsea. Is this coincidence?
