Ed 018 Why have other sites like Liverpool for example got three Eds and you are trying to cope on your own?
Thanks. {Ed018's Note - they have more like 8 or 9 editors. there has been other editors putting up posts on here. it hasnt been just me these last 2 days}

ED018 yesterday you said we will make a move for a striker soon who were you talking about? {Ed018's Note - there are certainly efforts being made for Cavani, he seems to be Chelsea's main target, but i'm doubting that a deal can be reached. Obviously Hulk and Schurrle's name are also targets. I would think there will be abig push to bring someone in before the deadline}

Thanks ed,thats the informative answer we are looking for............rayzor

David Luiz just tweeted going back to London! So he didn't watch the barca game then. I wouldn't be at all surprise if he goes to barca


KevinCFC {Ed018's Note - he was there for a Nike promotional event}

Rumours went so mad apparently a chelsea offical came out and said it was a nike promo

Ok thanks ed! Just would like ur take on it would u sell him if some1 offerd 30million! I would he to clumsy find myself hanging on to the sofa when some one is running at him in our own box

KevinCFC {Ed018's Note - it really depends on if Chelsea thought 30 million was an acceptable offer, and if Luiz wanted to move. at times he plays very well and other times i wonder what is he possibly thinking. i my self do not want to see him leave and i really think he will continue to get better}

Agree with Ed to be honest. I think in a few years he'll be one of the best CB in the world. The "clumsiness" as some people put it isn't really a problem at all, it's his decision making which needs to be sorted out, apart from that he is amazing, and really that's a small thing to fix.

Well played ED, you called Moses, another one in the bag for all the doubters.

Anyway, another good signing this summer, he is young , cheap, home grown, and definitely a step up from Kalou. He would be a really good addition to the squad. Now all we need is Azpilicueta and probably a striker. Again good job ED for calling it.

ELI

Do you think sturridge is leaving now

23 Aug 2012 20:52:02
PleAse come back ed !!!! P.S dont know how Moses will fit in

Bring him on for Mikel/Lampard/DM when they tire to run at defences, he has great talent and in a top team, he will show it. He struggles at Wigan because lets face it, they aren't top class. Shrewd business again, very impressed with RDM this summer :)
CFCFOREVER!

He will play where sturridge played last night allowing sturridge to play upfront

if chelsea get a offer of 30million for luiz they should bite their hand off! i love the bloke but for the wrong reasons i love him cos he is a character but footbaling reason he is a clown at times! cant be trusted playing in the back 4 and would of loved him playing holding mid!


kevinCFC

Kevin can you stop abusing David Luiz please? He's a fan favourite and I think the majority of us love him, even with the occasional mistake because we know how good he will be, and already is. It's just getting annoying you whining about him, that's like the third message I've read...

the Londoners have now met the Latics' valuation, with a statement on the club's official website confirming a fifth offer has been accepted after rejecting four previous attempts.

Accepted

The statement read on Thursday night: "The club can confirm that after four unsuccessful bids from Chelsea for Victor Moses, a fifth bid has today finally met the valuation and terms set by Wigan Athletic and been accepted.

"The player has been given permission to speak with Chelsea."

Nigeria international Moses put in an impressive performance against Chelsea as the Blues won 2-0 at the DW Stadium last Sunday.

His arrival at Stamford Bridge would add to manager Roberto Di Matteo's already impressive summer haul of Eden Hazard, Brazilian starlet Oscar and Marko Marin.

Good results thus far and we have played some lovely football at times but its clear we need a better striker it's got to be cavani for me

Stand by torres but need back up

we showed that true chelsea spirit last night yet again

difference this season to last season we have the creative players so we can afford to concede the odd goals

curt

Torres isn't getting many clear cut chances but his positioning and running off the ball is excellent.

I've still got faith in him banging them in for us.

SurreyBlue

Absolute rubbish he got at least 2/3 balls played through last night he held the ball insted of pushing into the box and allowed reading to get back

You lot are a disgrace. hes played 3 scored 2 mancs & reading. if ramires and lamps passed yesterday would have been an easy hatrick, proves he was in the right places at the right time. he had the header he should of done better & his solo run & one cleared off the line v wigan. how do you lot feel about cech lampard mikel and ramires, they have all underperformed but no slating them! BLUEBOY1

I never said drop him i said he needs back up and blueboy to be fair the point is hes not scoring hes a striker he needs to score, making good runs isnt good enough for a striker

lamps and mikel have had there fair share of criticisem

i understand you want torres to do well i do too but we need the back up mate

curt

For 50m he shouldnt just be in the right place at the right time. If u think that worthies £50m then ur delusional, might as well have got Kevin Phillips!

MB

If drogba had scored 2 in 3 you would all be saying complete opposite. i know we need another striker. its now turning to unfair criticism for someone who has started doing his job so far so good. If he scores against newcastle you alll need to drop the criticism of torres and back him. mikel, terry, lampard deserve more so than torres. BLUEBOY1

Yer because drogba hasnt spent the last 2 years struggling to hit a donkeys backside with a banjo

curt

Torres has started to now, its a year & a half, he asmitted he had the wrong attitude. was you ever watchin chelsea when drogba first signed? because he was a donkey.

23 Aug 2012 13:19:13
This is my valuation of our team
cech10m
ivan15m
Cahill16m
Terry5m
Luiz35m
Cole10m
Mikel12m
Ramires20m
lampard11m
Oscar30m
Bertrand12m
Essien19m
Mata35m
Hazard50m
Torres25-30m
carPetman

Nice valuations mate

So if we accepted a bid of 10mil for cech youd be happy? He may be getting on but brad fredal is nierly a pentioner cechs gota be 15-20

To be honest bertrand is not worth 12 mill at the moment either

even hazard isnt worth 50 mill yet hes only played 2 competitive games for us

curt

Essien 19m?
Lampard11m?

Behave

Mata should be higher than Hazard

Mikel £ 2 bob .

And how can you forget Malouda! Blasphmey

Sturridge?
Marin?

How has Oscar's value risen 5 mil?
And Ramires has to be more than that!
So does Mata
Roweycfc

Sturridge?

I do appreciate what ed 002 does on this site and all the rest of them but not answering questions is starting to sound childish ,, come on you,s set up this site for people to ask questions and have a bit of banter with other chelsea supporters ,, without answering questions the site is pritty useless . Also if you answer questions with smart answer,s you have got too except a bit of stick back , its only natural . I dont except this comment to be put up but il write it up anyway . fingers crossed for cavani :)

Mate firstly ed002 didn't set the site up Ed001 did (go figure). Secondly the site was not set up so that the VOLUNTEERS (Ed's) could answer your questions. It was set up as a site for football enthusiasts could talk about transfers they have heard and to talk about their clubs, banter with other clubs fans. The ed's choose to help out with any knowledge they have.

To call Ed002 childish shows how little you know about the site. In my opinion and I'm sure Ed018 will back me up, Ed002 is the most knowledgeable Ed regarding transfers for all clubs worldwide. By far the most knowledgeable person I've ever come across and have been using the site well over 2 years.

If you think about how many repetitive questions you see on here day after day (during transfer window) then spare a thought for how many the eds have to delete.

I myself don't post really during the windows, anything I need to know is asked and answered on the page already. But I do look forward to Ed002 wit returning after the trolls disappear, along with SHED, Osgoodisking, JG, Jm10, Eli, cozinoz?, curt?, roan and the rest of the lads that follow religiously on the site.

ED018 kills it anyway, what are you all whinging about? We are 2 from 2, Hazard looks a gem, Torres scored, and football is finally f**king back!

Melbourne CFC {Ed018's Note - We have over 50 editors at the present time and Ed002 is the most knowledgable. Guys he will be back don't worry}

ED 18 JUST BROKE THE BIGGEST NEWS ON THIS SITE!!
ED002 IS A MAN!
why did he make us all beleve he was a woman?

Wow ur stupid it was a joke

some wrote a nice comment too ed002 and he replied your so sweet thanks

to which someone said that was a rather feminine reply and ed002 never actually said he was a woman people jumped to that conclusion so he carried it on

either way man or woman who cares they know there s**t

curt

Curt mate I'm not so sure your right about that.

Melbourne CFC

Well from what iv seen mate thats how its come across but who knows my first post wasnt aimed at you though mate

curt

Yeah I wasn't having a dig mate, the situation with ed002 certainly seems more important on here than Newcastle.

Melbourne

I agree with the majority of your statement Melbourne, but i disagree with your point on repetitive questions. Yes they are very annoying and we could do without them, however all of the other clubs sites have this as well. Take a look at the Liverpool site, their dodgy rumours are filled on a daily basis. Also Ed002 is kinda punishing everyone for the actions of a few posters, should just punish the posters instead.

Rowan

Since when did people start liking curt?

They never had a problem with me its the majority of unamed tools like yourself that have the problem

curt

Youre wrong curt ,youre the biggest tool on here,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Once again its the majority of unamed tools like yourself who have the problem (not including my 'gang' of unamed posters there cool)

you should stop posting

curt

So if you knew my name ,that would not make you a tool curt ? stop being so childish with the noname rubbishe ,YOU are a tool of the highesty order ,you proove it EVERY day on here......

noname

Me childish have a look at yourself 'when did everyone start liking curt' if you spent less time hating me you might make something of your life you weasel

curt

I didnt post that ,ha ha ha do you think im the only one that thinks your a knob,

Funny thing is he's a Liverpool supporter, what do ya know? Every 1 Chelsea fan there is 10 Liverpool fans even in a time of turmoil.
AnfieldUSA

But to be fair Anfield, that's like saying for every one human there are 10 Cockroaches. It doesn't mean anything, humans, much like Chelsea fans, are still the dominant species.

Well that's it! No one else is coming in after the right back according to RDM comments after the game! I would just like to thank RDM costing us wot little chance of us winning the league, cos if that's true in wot he says then we are in total reliant on torres!

KevinCFC

Im not convinced your a chelsea supporter

although we cant rely on one striker we still have more of a chance of winning the league than your making out

curt

Not with two strikers, city have four, not that they'll be winning the league

Trueblue012

I think Kevin has a nervous twitch that makes him write crazy nonsense sometimes.. U never know what can happen between now and 1'st sept, I'm sure we will bring in a forward, maybe not the superstar u want but some1 to give Torres a kick up the ass if he starts playing poorly.. All will be good.

My ratings for last night
cech4/10 didn't really have to make many saves and messed up when he did.
Ivan8/10 some good tackles and ran the pitch for the goal
Cahill8/10 his goal was so important and he had a good solid game
Terry5/10 average game
Cole7/10 some good defensive headers and tackles.
Ramires4/10wasnt 100percent match fit should have passed to Torres but shot and saved
Lampard7/10good penalty and good play overall
Mikel7/10surprised me he was further up the pitch than usual and some cheeky dribbles
Hazard9/10 got us a penalty with his amazing skill and set up ivanovic and his skill is amazing
Torres8/10good goal and a 50m striker performance
Mata6/10 he needs a rest he's been brilliant for us. carPetman

I thought Lampard and Torres were poor. The rest sounds about right.

A 50million performance! Wot game was u watching! Torres was average AGAIN!


KevinCFC

Torres was 8/10 but a 50 million striker performance?! I'd hate to think what you'd of said if you put him down as 10/10

His solo run, ramires should of cut back and he scored and release hazard for ivanovic goal. Ha u lot are a joke Torres has played well this season. BLUEBOY1

I think they mean the amount of chances he needs to score blueboy we need a striker who can bury most glorious chances they get

curt

I tottaly disagree, the runs that Torres is making are world class, this will always cause defender problems and open up play for others. He still needs to improve but i have faith as we are playing more fluid football. Still think we need another striker as two is not enough.

Sheva016

how many times did you see droga or anelka fluff chances you are all too biased and blatantly only watch torres on the ball. never watch his movement when he drags away defenders to create space for others. but none of you see that. yet mikel makes an attacking pass and hes the next pirlo! im intrested to see how old some of you are and how long youve supported chelsea. BLUEBOY1

23 Aug 2012 08:04:25
when oscar came on the pitch he played on wing.......
when sturridge came on oscar played in pivot role.......
when meireles came on he played in the hole.....

what impressed was he was ready to do tackles when required....and his passes are more forward rather than mikel/lampards passes.......backwards and side ways!!

If that is meant to be a poem it isn't a very good one.

even without David Luiz's antics we still looked very and i mean VERY! sloppy in defence, would love to see how RDM will try to improve because even big JT has alot of work to do

The guy scored a brilliant header and then Cech fluffed his lines, apart from that defence was barely troubled

23 Aug 2012 00:32:45
Ignore the David Luiz talk

I reckon he loves it here at chelsea

Cech-5/10. Fair to say not his best game in a Chelsea shirt. Made an error that led to the second Reading goal, apart from that looked competent when called upon.

Iva-6/10. Had a fairly decent game. Had a 15 minute spell in the first half where he was finding it difficult, but made some good forward runs and one vital defensive interseption in the second half.

Cahill. 7/10. Looked very good in the heart of the defence. Scored a great long distance striker as well to swing the moment in Chelsea's favour. You could see that he was helped by the fact that him and Terry had played with each other many times before therefore could easily step in today.

Terry. 6/10. Not much to comment on. Did his job and showed his leadership skills out there. Tried to move the ball forward quickly when we were trailing.

Mikel. 6/10 . Never spectacular but does his job. Attempted to move the ball forward to the more creative players and was mostly successful in doing so.

Lampard.6/10. Took his penalty well. Wasn't his greatest game. He is finding it challenging to be creative in deep midfield.

Ramires.5/10. Had a number of poor touches of the ball. Could have laid the ball off to Torres for an opening goal. Still looked to be recovering from illness.

Mata7/10. Always wanted the ball. Has already developed a good understanding with Hazard, and got in good positions. Unfortunately didn't have his shooting boots on today but was also extremely good in the attacking transitional phase.

Hazard.9/10. Looks like he has settled in rather well. Looked a constant threat on the ball, and was simply too good for Reading with his speed of mind and feet.

Torres. 7/10. Got a goal. Regardless of the offside he was still following in at the back post. Made one superb run in the first half. His hold up play still needs to improve, he also needs to mix he game up slightly more and drop deeper. Basically for 50m in my opinion technically (touch, passing...etc) he should be better.

Sturridge7/10. Looked very lively when he came on. Made some superb runs and only tried on speculative shot. As he matures as a footballer he will learn the right opportunities to pass and when not to.

Oscar.6/10. Showed glimpses of his ability with some nice passing and touches. There were some lose passes in there however plus he was out muscled on a number of occasions plus gave away some free kicks, but still early days.

Meireles. 5/10. Looked shaky on the ball, plus his passing as usual was fairly erratic. Would feel much more comfortable with Essien on the field to hold out for a win.

MB

Disagreeded slightly on a few points...

Cahill- I wouldn't change his score because his goal was so massive, but tbf he allowed his mark a free run across the 18 which led to the 1st goal. Putting his body on him may have sent the header off target.

Torres - No more than a 6, we should expect more from him because he is better than that. That free header he got in front of goal was shocking.

Oscar - Even with the penalty i thought he played better than Lampard and deosn't deserve the same score. Also i will watch the game again but i don't recall him being 'out muscled on a number of occasions', if anything he has exceeded my expectations with the toughness he's shown in the 2 matches thus far especially helping on defense.

FloridaCFCFan

If you ask me I would've had Cech lower and mata well lower. That was the worst ive ever seen Juan play.

Tk

Essien us finished and can no longer even run well enough to get properly match fit... He gad time last season butcan no longer cut it... The game just bypasses him...

I think Lampard miss passes a lot than anyone in the game...

You forgot Cole, who I think didnt have a very good game 5 - 6 i think. Torres was good in the first half and poor decision making by Ramires cost us another goal and maybe 2( there was also a rerally good chance for a through ball to torres but instead he ran up to the corner flag). Torres was not very good in the second half untilthe equaliser and then he started to play better again.

And who would have thought Ivanovic would have scored in both our PL games. Makes you think that maybe hes coming around to being a fullback more often.

Dear Ed002,
This is a football ......{Ed003's Note - 002 does a great job informing folk of information maybe folk should grow up and realise what he brings to the site}
