Ed002. you have probably been asked this before, but cant seem to find it. Could you tell me which of the chelsea targets you personally would want chelsea to buy? Besides Neymar which i think i remember you saying you personally preffered at some point. (this question doesnt have anything to do with who we have biggest posibility of signing) {Ed002's Note - I'll get trashed if I say anything, sorry.}

Believable0 Unbelievable5

Ed002 why apologise? Anyone who has viewed this website for any amount of time knows that you don't like to answer this type of question. I still think that it's the same trolls trying to get a rise out of you to be honest... {Ed002's Note - Actually I guess the wish at the moment would not to spend £30M on Modric, who is a fine player, but I don't see what he will add or where he will add it. i'll try and keep my head down.}

Agree6 Disagree0

Totally agree with you about Modric and the rumoured £30M plus transfer fee. No way is he worth that much. £21M was fair enough to begin with. I really hope that Levy holds his ground and keeps him haha

Agree5 Disagree1

Yeah, but if we cant get any other decent midfielders like de rossi, i'd have him

Agree2 Disagree5

Wow... so Modric and de Rossi are the only 2 "decent midfielders" in the world?

I guess that the old adage "It's a small world" makes sense then...

Agree1 Disagree1

We should really try to inprove midfielder, besides modric... for dmf.. we should try for de rossi/a.song/tiote/fabregas
and for offensive midfielders maybe: pastore/kaka/silva/gourcouff/hamsik
for strikers: aguero/falcao/tevez/benzema
wingers: hulk/di maria/

Agree3 Disagree0

Not sure about Modric's price. Who knows how these values are arrived at? Surely the football authorities will have to get a grip on these ridiculous transfer fees at some point.
Back to the point - if Modric manages to get the Chelsea midfield passing the ball forwards a few times a match then money well spent

Ed I heard that Mr.Abramovich has a stake in MSI who are involved with Corinthians or Kia Joorabcian and Pini Zahavi could this be relevant with the current Tevez situation? {Ed002's Note - No.}

we will get modric forr 50 mil and aguero for torres + lampard

Believable0 Unbelievable14

... and then you woke up from your delusional dream...

Agree10 Disagree0

Pointless points about ridiculous transfers are not exactly what the page was created for. If we swap lamps and torres for aguero I will be more than suprised

Nice one xD

we need a minimum of 4 top class players, another striker, a right winger, right back and a centre mid.

we need sanchez, aguero, der weil, and i dont know why we dont go for fabregas, money talks,

our lack of ambition over the last few windows has proved to be a bad choice,

come on roman you tight arse, lets buy the league like man c, united and liverpool are although liverpool are buying 6th

Believable2 Unbelievable11

"come on roman you tight arse"

The bloke just spent £50M on Torres and you're calling him a tight arse?

What a clown...

one way round fifa fair play:

chelsea pay 5 million for say messi, then buy a box of ice cream from barce for 100 mill ;-)

Believable0 Unbelievable10

I know your joking, but that wouldn't work either....

Don't think we should sell any of our squad, at least not this summer.maybe in January.We lost out last season as we did not have quality in reserve.So I think we keep what we have and add 3-4 quality players:mata, aguero, Sanchez, Modric, pastore, hazard, robben
They are players we should be looking at and hopefully if we can sign 3-4 of them we should be able to take that extra step up, but just can't help but think we are falling even further behind utd and soon to be city by dragging our feet regarding transfers {Ed002's Note - It is not possible to add three or four of the players you mention without falling foul of the hime grown rulings.}

Believable1 Unbelievable8

I'm sure that buying 4 new players and keeping everyone else would go over real well with the existing players. You think that the whinging from some egotistical players who felt that they should be playing 90 minutes for every match was bad before...

Hey Ed, you said you wanted to to wait until today to check whether the rumour you heard was good or not. What did you hear? {Ed002's Note - Not me - I think you need to ask this again when Ed018 is around.}

I think somethings has changed in terms of transfer strategy since AVB took over. I don't know wether they spend too much to get him and now try to save up on transfers. This is the weird thing. Port won the Europa League on creativity and fluent football. Surely AVB must know what players he needs to transfer this to CFC.

Ed it has been reported that Aguero is on 240K a week. How on earth can AM afford that?

Believable0 Unbelievable3

It's all rubbish journalism. Aguero earns 84k after tax. {Ed002's Note - This is the reason why it is pointless to explain such matters. The nature of the package provided gives onl;y a proportion in cash and there are other considerations which have an equivalent cash value. And don't get sucked in to all of these tax/no tax discussions, it is simply futile.}

Agree0 Disagree0

Ed could you possibly explain this 'package' that you talk about, i've been following this aguero situation for a while now and still don't fully understand. {Ed002's Note - Salary is not simply made up of a "cash" payment being made each week. There are options such as image rights that may be considered, offsetring wages against a percentage of the sell on fee - all manner of things which can be done to make a move more attractive.}

who would you personally like to see at chelsea out of the 'targets' we're trying to get?

Believable0 Unbelievable7

Aguero, di maria, pastore, lukaku, de bruyne, santon and de rossi. it would cost a lot but with these additions we would surely win the champions league.

CHELSEA FANS MUST SEE

'Superb goal by Benayoun' on youtube... vs Wycombe in friendly.

BEST GOAL EVER

Believable1 Unbelievable5

Nice goal.. :)

Agree0 Disagree0

It was alright. Maybe a bit lucky but best goal ever? Zola's backheel vs Norwich, Zola in the cup winners cup final, Poyet vs sunderland first day of 00/01 season, Eidur's Bycicle kick vs. Leeds, all of Jimmy's goals against spurs, Di Matteo in the FA cup final, Lampard's goals vs Barca and Bayern..... List goes on and these are just goals scored by chelsea players. Try telling Zidane that the best goal ever was a average/lucky goal scored against Wycome Wanderers in a pre-season freindly at Chobham.

Agree6 Disagree2

Gudjonsen against Leeds, overhead kick-quality

Agree0 Disagree0

Ok, maybe not beset goal ever but come on this is YB here not JFH or GZ

Agree0 Disagree2

Im guessing that you didn't watch much of benayoun before he came to chelsea, the guy is incredibly skillful.

Agree1 Disagree2

John arne riise against liverpool in CL.

Agree5 Disagree0

Lamps v barca group stage best but most important his pen v Liverpool in semi at The bridge
