Ed, I'm worried about our lack of interest in proven world class players, utd are looking to sign players like sneijder and nasri, and we are paying over the odds for unproven players such as pastore, if man united can meet players such as Sneijder's wage demands surely we can too.I just wanted to ask why do the club seem to be unwilling to invest in proven world class players?thanks Ed. All these players were young and unprove once there may be a risk but when you see neymar already has international caps as does pastore playing in a top european league as does sanchez who played in the WC i beleive so they are not completley unproven

This guy is right, why no attempt for Nasri??

Why are you guys so crazy about Nasri? Guy had a good first half of the season without Cesc in the lineup and he basically disappeared late in the season like the rest of the Gunner squad.

Now the pastore story is confusing, according to a roma player pastore wants to join roma, who thinks football is crazy. ed? {Ed018's Note - every summer is the same. every player is going to every team}

hi EDS. Can an agent ahve two roles? ie. Pini Z, seems to both be a player agent aswell as an negotiator for the Chelsea. Is this correctly understood? Thx {Ed002's Note - As long as there is no conflict of interest at all, he could do both.}

Will Chelsea move for Aguero if Neymar does not come? {Ed018's Note - possibly although Sanchez is preferred at this point}

Absolutely, Ed002 was wrong about Juventus bid because it was around 25mil eur. That's why Atletico de Madrid rejected it. Their president said they would rather sell him to Real for 38 mil eur than abroad for 25mil eur. Spanish and Italian press. {Ed018's Note - Real have not placed any bid for Sanchez so i have no idea what you are talking about}

I've just posted what AM president said to Spanish press.

I didn't say Real put a bid just do not kill mes.

I think that the poster was talking about Aguero, not Sanchez (in respect to Real Madrid bid for 38M euro). {Ed002's Note - All the poster seems to want to do is complain and bleat about me.}

HOMEGROWN

John Terry,
Ross Turnbull (GK),
Ashley Cole,
Frank Lampard,
Josh McEachran,
Daniel Sturridge,
Patrick Van Aanholt,
Rhys Taylor (GK),
Jacob Mellis,
Sam Walker (GK),
Slobodan Rajkovic,
Ben Gordon (GK)

These are the current homegrown players at Chelsea in the first team squad. I didn't include Bertrand & Cork because I imagine they will be sold? Kakuka & Delac (GK) will be homegrown in a couple of years, but not yet.

Sydney!

Rajkovic might get WP this summer, if it doesn't happen next summer he'll have Dutch passport so he'll be in Chelsea.

Isn't Ben Gordon a left back?

My bad, not too clued up on Chelsea like I am with other clubs. I think I might have got Rajkovic wrong too, Ed002 does he still qualify if he is loaned out to clubs outside our FA? Or is it fine as long as he is a registered Chelsea player?

Sydney! {Ed002's Note - No, loans only count if in England or Wales - and Mikel should be on the list I think.}

Sydney! are you even a Chelsea supporter?

not really about transfers but im in the US and i was wondering if you know what channel the copa america is on?
Thanks alot

2011 CA is being broadcast on Univision, Galavision and Telefutura in Spanish language only. There is no English broadcasts in the US. ESPN wanted to bid for both English and Internet rights, but when they someone else was awarded the bid ESPN dropped out completely.

Spanish language online streaming will be Univision Deportes, but... Youtube will be streaming English language broadcasts of all matches. So if you don't understand Spanish, Youtube will be your only route.

As the foreign transfer Market has now opened is their any flourish of further ongoing discussions with players linked to the club, or is their some fresh scoping Ed002?...I further agree that you should be promoted to Ed007 because you really do shake n stir up things. {Ed018's Note - i didnt think there were promotions here.}

I get the James Bond inference, but since when is going from 002 to 007 a promotion?
