Chelsea Banter Archive March 13 2019

I don't know if Adrien Rabiot is still locked on for Barcelona but I think Chelsea should be all over for a summer deal (guess he should be a free agent by then) .

You do know that we've been banned from signing players for two windows, right?

13 Mar 2019 11:00:29
Even free agents too?

13 Mar 2019 11:36:59
Can’t register any new players regardless of their current club is what I (perhaps wrongly) understand.

Hi Ed001; good afternoon, please does the transfer ban also mean that Chelsea can't bring in free agents too?

{Ed002's Note - Of course. Why would they be exempt?)

13 Mar 2019 12:45:00
Wow, that's so messed up.

13 Mar 2019 13:22:33
Then let's pray that AC Milan don't take up their option to sign Bakayoko.
Please another question that's bugging me Ed is: can players that Chelsea loaned out with sell on option return back to the club? Or let me rephrase: Does the transfer ban mean that loaned out players with sell on option return back to the club inevitably.

{Ed002's Note - No, where are you getting all of these strange thoughts from?}

Sorry for the questions, I don't actually know all the details of the transfer ban. I am a fan and you know we the fans like to think ahead sometimes. I feel if we lose Kovacic for instance, maybe we can have Bakayoko back for next season that is if the transfer ban means that all sell on agreements (in loan deals) become null and void. But thanks for your answer, I know better now.

{Ed002's Note - It doesn't mean they become null and void. It simply means the club cannot register new players. Agreement has already been reached with Pulisic and he will join.}

Rabiot has got a shocking attitude so why have another in the future we’ve got enough player power as he is.

13 Mar 2019 20:54:04
As ed said, basically any player that isn’t already a chelsea player won’t be joining. Pulisic technically is a chelsea player so he will but any options to buy etc will still count as new players.

The last time Ed002 contributed to the Chelsea page regarding players was August 17th, 2017. A week before he did a podcast and after that he received abuse and has done since.

There’s been a few times I’ve arched up at one of his comments but I like to think I’ve never been abusive and I think of it as a discussion/ debate. Scrolling through Ed002’s posts it really is incredible how much bad comments he receives on this page and it is completely unfair and I really do understand why he doesn’t contribute regarding players. It’s nice that he still contributes regarding a few other things.

I apologise on behalf of this page mate, hope to have you back contributing chelsea in the near future. Your contributions over the last 7 years I’ve been posting have been quality and insightful.

Cheers to all the other Ed’s too. I still find myself continuously checking this page and the other pages every single day. I can’t get enough of football. Cheers.

{Ed002's Note - Don't worry about it, we will see how it goes.}

Agree, thanks a lot ed for all the info you give and sorry for the idiots that abuse, glad your back answering here appreciated.

{Ed002's Note - Thanks}

Good post, Standard, and I fully agree.

13 Mar 2019 12:47:16
Thumbs up too.

14 Mar 2019 22:54:16
Thanks Standard for that post. Great to have Ed002 back on and I'm very excited. Kudos to all the Eds who have done so well for us on the page.
Ed002 I want to assure you that all well meaning CFC fans will always appreciate your contribution. Please ignore abusers as they are NOT fans but impostors who usually stroll in ruin it for us. We could have asked for their account be blocked but remember they still open another.
Once again I'm so excited about your full return. Cheers!

Ed002, just wanted to say thanks for the little bits of info you drop in for us every now and then. Its been nice getting some info we can trust again.

I know you're not completely open to us at all, but honestly I'll take anything I can get!

{Ed002's Note - You are welcome.}
