Goodevening Ed;

Are we to be excited about Ross Barkley? I heard Chelsea will have talks with Everton about him on Sunday.

Is Chelsea going in for Andre Gomes? I heard he has asked to leave Barcelona. He is a good player.

{Ed018's Note - I don't believe Chelsea are interested in him at the moment. I think Juventus are trying to sign him?}

25 Aug 2017 21:10:42
Who are we trying to sign 018 seems only ox and less than a week til window closes.

Agree0 Disagree0

Why do some people who post on this site slaughter players we haven't signed?
These are the same people who had a pop at the club for signing Alonso and said that Moses wasn't good enough!
These are also the people who have stopped the Eds giving us updates on potential signings!
Criticism is all well and good but make in constructive and realistic.
The club are trying to sign quality players at the right price.
Has our club made bad signings in the past? Yes, but so has every club.
So let's stop the carping and support the club and all the players!

Well said TomB. This page has been dire this transfer window. A few idiots have ruined it for the rest of us.

Agree4 Disagree1

I really hope that you're wrong about Barkley ed018.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed018's Note - I was talking about Gomes}

26 Aug 2017 12:04:12
Thanks ed, fair enough.

Agree0 Disagree0

What is all this nonsense about 'talking to Everton at the game tomorrow'?! Is this 1870? Do we not have phones? Do we not have conference calls? Do we not have aeroplanes and high speed rail? Do we not have internet, email, twitter, facebook, snapchat, Linkedin, reddit, instagram, whatsapp!? Why would we be waiting to play Everton to enable us to talk to them about Barkley!

I thought I'd was being looked at as cover for RWB as he played there for arsenal last season.

Psg : neymar and mbappe
Chelsea : ox and llorente ambition levels.

Believable2 Unbelievable11

25 Aug 2017 18:14:23
Great to see us supporting potential signings. Let's just whip out the chequebook and spend £100m+ on someone. After all, Torres and Shevchenko were so effective right?

Agree6 Disagree1

25 Aug 2017 18:33:14
Torres scored two massive goals in Chelsea history. A goal against Barcelona to send us to Munich and he put us ahead against Benfica in the Europa League Final.

So yes I'd say he was pretty effective.

Agree3 Disagree7

25 Aug 2017 20:39:22
Yes, but still, he was hardly the £50m man we all craved.

Agree3 Disagree0

25 Aug 2017 20:39:06
Torres who left with fa cup champ league and Europa league. yeah he was fine, nice knowledge, and it's not about the money, but ox and llorente hardly going to put any fear into anyone. alonso has more goals in prem then ox in last 3 years and alonso only been here a year and ox played mostly further forward haha as you were, why are people so worried like it's there money. We're Chelsea fc we should be adding world class to hazard and courtios not back peddling.

Agree3 Disagree9

25 Aug 2017 23:01:51
It's unfair to compare ox and llorente to neymar and mbappe. It's more of a comparison to compare morata and bakayoko to them. Both of good age and already excellent players. Let's just see what happens but we have done some good business this summer and with one, two or three more could be an exceptional summer.

Agree6 Disagree1

26 Aug 2017 00:39:43
Forgetting Baka rudi Morata and big willy.

Agree1 Disagree0

26 Aug 2017 08:05:15
I'm comparing the ambition, not the name or price but a great club like ours isn't going to strike fear in champions league when ox and llorente come in. Get a bit of top quality, not always 100m player, like I've said before few game changers someone who can really influence a game with some quality.

Agree2 Disagree4

26 Aug 2017 09:17:33
So your saying the players we have signed are not top quality player? Not game changers? Cannot influence a game?

Agree0 Disagree2

26 Aug 2017 10:34:28
Matt Martin you are so pessimistic it's crazy! I don't even like reading your comments anymore. Pretty sure you don't like / rate any of the current Chelsea squad. You're piping up about Neymar, I'm not sure whether you know or not but we own a player called Eden Hazard, probably the same level as the guy you're obsessing over. We've signed a player who was in the Champions League squad of the year and a guy who's potentially going to be one of the best strikers in the world in the next couple of years! Calm down, you're doing everyones head in!

Agree6 Disagree0

26 Aug 2017 11:26:59
I don't rate current players because I want to sign top quality to play with them and strengthen the team? Haha u guys make me laugh, happy to stay at same level and not improve, and as been stated the players that came in not really if any an improvement to squad last season, .

Agree0 Disagree4

26 Aug 2017 11:30:56
Fernando Torres was the last striker who has managed to score more than 20 goals in one season for Chelsea in all competitions. So if he was a flop than all other strikers who played for Chelsea after him were flops.

Agree0 Disagree0

26 Aug 2017 11:44:45
Squad of the season. excellent, we also sold a player who's won 2 league titles in 3 years and striker who done the same? I think some u share ambition of arsenal, or spurs, we are biggest in London and don't want teams to be catching up, simple as that.

Agree0 Disagree2

26 Aug 2017 12:10:05
Matt as I've said in a previous post, by all means be critical but also be constructive and realistic.
In place of Costa, who certainly rocked the boat at the last transfer window, we now have Morata and I believe that will prove to be a substantial upgrade. Also, he is younger!
In place of Matic we have signed Bakayoko. Again, younger and in my opinion he will offer more than Matic who over the last two seasons was average at best!
We will sign more players before the window shuts and I'm sure that the club will make sure we have a shad that can compete on all fronts.
In my opinion we have 4 players who could be classed as world class but we have a manager who gets the best out of every player and that makes for a successful team.

Agree6 Disagree0

26 Aug 2017 13:26:11
I understand what Matt is saying and I agree. Apart from baka and morata we haven't really signed/ been linked with anyone quality bar Alex Sandro, but that's not happening. The OX is and average player who I wouldn't mind having as a squad player but for £35m NO THANKS. Same goes for Barkley and Drinkwater and Vardy- alli event players but not upgrades on or current squad and all over £30m roughly. If we want to remain as the best team in the pl and keep players like hazard and courtois we need to brin in more top class players. It's not just this year, in recent transfer windows we haven't really brought in anyone fantastic other then kante, maybe we should start spending the money (that we have) on world class players in the same level as hazard, kante, courtois and azpi.

Agree1 Disagree3

26 Aug 2017 14:35:50
TomB you are so incorrect, Matt is right about Matic and Costa. If you've watched MU you would know how wrong you are. Not to mention that we have lost Terry and Ivanovic both players with enormous influence in the dressing room. Bakayoko and Morata are both far from upgrade. Kroos and Levandowski would be an upgrade.
But there's no point in nagging and complaining. Hopefully Conte will figure out something.

Agree3 Disagree3

26 Aug 2017 15:21:00
Im very realistic and agree with a lot of you guys we do have good enough 11, but one injury or ban and we are downgrading, and yes morata and bakyoko may turn out to be upgrades but at the moment we don't know, we're champions and we should act like champions, be more ruthless in who we / conte wants because as good as conte is I dread him having to use Kennedy in big game v city or united because we didn't get who we wanted,

Agree0 Disagree4

26 Aug 2017 16:25:07
For gods sake the window is still open!
The club are trying to sign what THEY consider to be quality players for a reasonable fee that matches the clubs valuation.
Some clubs will NOT sell players they consider to important for them to let go, regardless of any offer we make.
Using a phrase such as "being ruthless" is pointless!

Agree2 Disagree0

26 Aug 2017 16:30:04
Antibot, how am I wrong about Costa and Matic? Costas performances after the mid season window was poor and Matic was just about OK last season and total crap the season before!

Why would Roberto Martinez wanna aggreviate Eden Hazard's condition by calling him up to international duty.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

26 Aug 2017 09:57:03
And leaving a midfielder like Nainggolan out.

GIVE A SMALL MAN A BIG THING- HE MAKES IT SMALL. WHEREAS, GIVE A BIG MAN A SMALL THING- HE MAKES IT BIG.

Agree0 Disagree0

26 Aug 2017 10:31:49
As Hazard turned out for the Under-23's last night he is obviously moving OK albeit not premiership fit and maybe Martinez just wants him in the squad or at best bring him on against Gibraltar.

Agree0 Disagree0

Ed001 sorry I accidentally touched the 'send' button and could not finish my question. Here is my question do see the Ox joining Chelsea or Liverpool?

Believable0 Unbelievable0

{Ed001's Note - from what has been said by the lad himself, he favours Liverpool.}

25 Aug 2017 17:30:39
Apart from age why would we want AOC? He is not much different to Willian. He's quicker but cannot tackle as well and both suffer from lack of finishing.

Agree0 Disagree0

25 Aug 2017 14:06:51
Skysports understands that Alex oxlade chamberlain has turned down arsenal offer. The player and his agent would hear from Wenger whether he join another club this summer or see out the remainder of his contract. I think Wenger should get whatever he could out of this situation and let boy go, he messed up earlier on. You cannot keep a player on the bench or play him out of position and then let his contract run down., suddenly when the contractis about to finish you realise that he is important in your team. He either poor in managing players or deceiving the player. I think Ox is right in rejecting the new deal and to believe that his future lies away from arsenal. Meanwhile Chelsea and Liverpool are battling for his signature. Ed001 do w.

Fernando Llorente news: a welcome development?

25 Aug 2017 12:12:54
This must be your first post in ages to not use caps! It's not Fernando it's Marcos Llorente that rumour was about.

Telegraph saying fernando llorent from Swansea is option again.

Agree0 Disagree0

25 Aug 2017 12:39:54
I know both players; Marcos Llorente (young midfielder) is of Real Madrid and the rumour of Chelsea's interest in him first came up some 2 weeks BUT today's post is about Fernando Llorente (towering striker) of Swansea. Chelsea has been interested in him since the last summer transfer window.

25 Aug 2017 12:48:08
hahaha Denningtonbear. Should i stop the use of caps?
