So many stories I don't know what to believe anymore - Someone please help me - Who want out and who came in.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Lukaku out on loan to Everton unfortunately.

Agree0 Disagree0

02 Sep 2013 23:05:31
Just want to say a massive thank you to the eds for all there hard work this transfer window.

It is all greatly appreciated

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Completely agree, thank you for everything you do to make this site work

Agree0 Disagree0

02 Sep 2013 22:54:33
Its ok everyone saying we've kept mata its no good if he doesn't play, don't no the thinking behind letting lukaku go and keeping BA because he just not good enough and though torres isn't playing his best lukaku would learn more training with the likes of torres eto lamps etc

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Hes been injured jeez

Agree0 Disagree0

Mourinho said to day, JUAN MATA IS EXTREMELY TIRED. He's played nearly two years of solid football.

Agree0 Disagree0

02 Sep 2013 22:53:35
Can't believe JM let Lukaku go on loan.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

It's logic. I'm sorry he's done the right thing. Eto and Torres our two main strikers and ba just a bench warmer, lukaku will be playing week in week out next season hell have two solid years of Bpl football under his belt.

Agree0 Disagree0

Where did you see that?

Agree0 Disagree0

I've seen it now, I'm not convinced on the likes of Eto'o and Torres, I hope to God i'm proved wrong, but we should be playing Lukaku as our main striker, what more does the lad have to do?

Agree0 Disagree0

Lukaku confirmed on his official twitter account. :(

Agree0 Disagree0

Fully agree with blueboy1 but still disappointed.

Agree0 Disagree0

02 Sep 2013 22:50:52
Doesn't look like we are going to make a signing tonight. what a disappointment. Cannot believe we are loaning lukaku and keeping torres and ba! It is clear we needed a top draw striker so why spend £30m on willian when we are very well covered in that regard. Spend the bit extra and get falcao, cavani, higuain or spend less and get yilmaz I am hugely disappointed.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

02 Sep 2013 22:31:14
Despite the frustration of no new striker at least we have kept hold of Mata which can't be underestimated. Willian will be a good signing and De Bruyne and Schurlle will only get better.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

02 Sep 2013 22:29:06
Kind of dissapointed to be honest with the possible out going of lukaku. He should of been given his chance after his spell at west brom. I feel kind of sorry for him. I think jose thinks he lacks expierence so maybe another year would do him good, which i'm sure it would but for me lukaku should of played before torres and ba.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

02 Sep 2013 22:24:50
Oh well that appears to be that, decent window for us but it has been a disappointing day.

To be honest I think Lukaku needs another loan at a club where he'll play week in week out. Got to think of the long term with this boy. Having said that I would have liked to have seen Ba leave too, preferably on a permanent deal with another striker coming in. Torres, Eto'o and Ba will have to do the business now!

Believable0 Unbelievable0

02 Sep 2013 22:17:09
The best business we have done this window is keeping Luiz and Mata and bringing back Jose.
Give Eto'o a chance and maybe maybe maybe maybe maybe Torres will become good!
COYB!

Believable0 Unbelievable0

02 Sep 2013 22:14:03
Well that ends that. Romelu gone, ba staying. Would have wanted it the other way round but its Mourinho right, what do I know :).

Believable0 Unbelievable0

02 Sep 2013 22:09:58
Mourinho shoulda brought in a striker long ago instead of buyin so many players of the same style, I.e willian, atsu etc! Ba, Torres and etoo isn't a good enough group of strikers to push for title! Torres and ba are hopeless so all pressure is on etoo really! {Ed018's Note - kind of feels like last summer}

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Have to agree, last season proved Torres and Ba are not up to it and we can't expect to challenge for titles with such a toothless attack, all the pressure is now on Etoo but time will tell.
Could be another long season chasing the Mancs' and fending off Spurs, Arsenal and now Liverpool.

Agree0 Disagree0

It's a joke! Ba should be away and lukaku kept

Agree0 Disagree0

Strikers are good if their midfield is. If their midfield is selfish and doesn't provide quality pass or cross even the best strikers can't do anything, especially if they play as single striker.

Agree0 Disagree0

02 Sep 2013 22:02:17
It's too late now there will be no time for any last ditch attempts with personal terms, medicals etc still think the squad we have is more than capable to get us through to January at least.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Totally agree

Agree0 Disagree0

Not without a striker

Agree0 Disagree0

Who was out there that was realistic?

Lewandowski wants Bayern and Man U won't sell Rooney. Need to wait till something is viable unfortuantly

Agree0 Disagree0

Exactly the only real talent that caught anyone's eye was lewandowski & he clearly said he wants to be at bayern, Martinez is a Porto player which means they will over price him like they do with every player they have & Rooney would be hated even more than he already is so didn't leave many options, I think etoo will prove a lot of people wrong, can't say anything without seeing him in action for us first!

Agree0 Disagree0

02 Sep 2013 21:53:46
Same every year for Chelsea from tv they have no idea what they're talking about zero sources.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

02 Sep 2013 21:58:41
Looks like a very quite night for us Chelsea boys, any sign of anyone coming in at all?

Believable0 Unbelievable0

02 Sep 2013 21:51:08
Wow whos in charge here letting lukaku go on loan yet keeping Demba Ba, mikel still there aswell shocking

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Ed002 Mosses is HG player tsn't he.? {Ed018's Note - I believe so}

Agree0 Disagree0

And Lukaku is only 20 so he isn't non-HG player?

Agree0 Disagree0

02 Sep 2013 21:45:37
Ed, is it worth staying up? {Ed018's Note - doesnt look like it}

Believable0 Unbelievable0

02 Sep 2013 20:37:32
Hi, Eds
1. In regard to non-homegrown players, you can have as many as you like in your squad but only a certain amount - I want to say 8? - are eligible for competitive fixtures. Is this correct?
2. Seeing as Chelsea already are over the non-homegrown players, if they were to bid for someone else, they would have to be qualify as homegrown by age or another factor?
I find these rules very confusing, so could you shine some light on them for me please, Eds?
Thank you

BenSearle149 {Ed002's Note - (1) 17. (2) Any further players coming in will need a player to leave if they are not HG.}

Believable0 Unbelievable0

02 Sep 2013 21:21:24
This is really becoming silly now. Lukaku and ba both possibly out on loan and no striker coming in? Just what is Jose playin at, why say all this time lukaku was in the plans and was getting his chance!?

Believable0 Unbelievable0

He is not going anywhere, clubs have only made enquiries at the end of the day

Agree0 Disagree0

02 Sep 2013 21:05:12
as much as I like mata and there is so many reasons I would rather keep him
if it comes to a case that there is a swap move for ibrahimovic I would be more than happy
any truth?

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Not true.
Mata stays.
Ibrahimovic stays.

Agree0 Disagree0

This is crazy

Agree0 Disagree0

02 Sep 2013 21:00:07
Nothing's going to happen boooooo.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Don't be so sure mate. The Ed's expected bids and I trust them.

Agree0 Disagree0

Nothing will happen.

Agree0 Disagree0

02 Sep 2013 19:22:41
So ed who are we chasing. The clock is ticking down. Please give us a clue. tv have now stated that mata is staying. True or false. Really hope it's false.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Why do you want it to be false?

Agree0 Disagree0

02 Sep 2013 20:16:50
Hi Eds, good job your doing today, I know it must be really hard.

If Lukaku does go on loan, would we up our interest in someone like Jackson Martinez?

Thanks {Ed013's Note - Its a possibility, but this move needs to be in motion now}

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Ed, is it possible we will keep Mata and sign a striker? Do you think we have a player in place and everyone is ignoring them lol?

Agree0 Disagree0

02 Sep 2013 20:16:13
Ed013 do you now if chelsea are willing to let Lakaku leave on loan then? {Ed013's Note - I believe so mate}

Believable0 Unbelievable0

02 Sep 2013 20:23:59
Everton fan in peace.

cant you boys put in a bid for felliani pllleeeaaaaase just to wind gollum up?

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Ahaha it would make me smile mate. I really would love to mess with the Scottish One again but to be honest, I think the Wig is moving to United lol. If you are getting Lukaku on loan, play him and he will score a lot of goals positive for that! Would be great signing for you and think you would help enhance his gameplay a lot.

Agree0 Disagree0

Would love him mate. reminds me of Drogba.

Agree0 Disagree0

02 Sep 2013 20:16:32
If we keep Mata, lose Ba and Lukaku on season long loans but sign two top strikers I'd say this has been a good window.
Any new information about Mata to PSG eds or any news on possible new strikers?
Thanks for everything, I'd buy you all beers if I met you in bars lol

Believable0 Unbelievable0

02 Sep 2013 19:56:52
Twitter now reporting Mata is in Paris. Ed, have you ever considered a petition to get that site shut down due to the amount of rubbish which is spewed out on it? {Ed013's Note - Trouble causers with nothing to do will always make things up, unfortunately a petition would not close down twa**er}

Believable0 Unbelievable0

So true.
Last summer my mate told me Oscar had apparently been spotted at Carrington training ground on twitter last summer as United had hijacked our deal.
He failed to realise he reported this 30 minutes after Oscar had been unveiled as our new number 11 lol!

Agree0 Disagree0

02 Sep 2013 19:55:31
If Ba and Lukaku go out on loan eds would that mean there will be someone in line to come in {Ed013's Note - Yes, but things need to be in motion already}

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Have you not heard anything or a silent whisper of anything

Agree0 Disagree0

02 Sep 2013 19:48:09
All Chelsea strikers linked with moves away yet we have heard nothing of a player coming in?

Believable0 Unbelievable0

02 Sep 2013 19:44:11
Ed002 are everton after lakaku on loan would be crazy if chelsea agreed to that? Would leave us with 2 strikers again! {Ed013's Note - Ed002 is very busy, there is interest and a bid from Everton}

Believable0 Unbelievable0

02 Sep 2013 19:07:34
If Real Madrid can offload Kaka, we should certainly be able to get Torres off of our hands. Any devvelopments on that Eds? {Ed013's Note - As far as I know Torres is staying}

Believable0 Unbelievable0

02 Sep 2013 19:17:01
The only transfer that'll make sense to me this last few hours is Mata for Suarez maybe with a few quids going the other way. But seeing that Borini is off to S'land, that leaves LFC short up front with only Studge and Aspas. I hope it happens though as Suarez is the kind of forward that'll suit CFC.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

And then your 'other club' will have Mata so its win win for you.

Agree0 Disagree0

What a solution mata to LFC hahah he won champ log fa cup and Europa league and can go to ANY TEAM IN EUROPE why would mata want to go to LFC?

Agree0 Disagree0

02 Sep 2013 19:56:17
Exactly mate. It works well for me either way. Plus all the 'bad' bunch will be assembled at CFC. Lol. Suarez, Terry, Cole, Hazard is mouth-watering.

Agree0 Disagree0

Done deal ;)

Agree0 Disagree0

02 Sep 2013 18:34:49
Ed could we possibly be interested in Chicarito of Manchester United? May just be more media rubbish

Thanks {Ed002's Note - Not that I am aware.}

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Thank you for replying Ed appreciate it

Agree0 Disagree0

02 Sep 2013 18:30:48
Ed is it true mata handed in a transfer request read it on man u page. Wouldn't like to see him leave but I think we could cope without him. {Ed002's Note - You should ask there then.}

Believable0 Unbelievable0

02 Sep 2013 18:12:52
I think Rooney messed us about. But the good news is that with Moyes in charge they will not get anywhere. Let's be honest. The bloke is out of his depth.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

02 Sep 2013 18:09:24
Ed now TSO has left Cobham is it safe to assume:
A) Mata is NOT leaving?
B) No striker will be signed?
And finally C) Our major business (besides youngster loans) is over for the summer window? {Ed002's Note - I have no idea who or what TSO is.}

Believable0 Unbelievable0

The Special One

Agree0 Disagree0

The special one Ed!
Can you answer the questions please?
And is Ben Smith a good source because according to him unless silly money is offered mata won't leave? {Ed002's Note - (1) Ben Smith is guessing or you have misquoted him. The situation that will see Mata leave is him saying he wants a move and an acceptable offer being made to the club. It is nothing to do with "silly money". (b) It is not safe to assume a striker will not be signed. (c) No, that is not correct.}

Agree0 Disagree0

Ben Smith said on his official twitter that CFC have no idea about PSG interest in Mata and unless big money is suggested no sale. That's what he has said so I guess it's incorrect?
Do you think Mata will hand in a transfer request? He doesn't seem like that kind of player IMO. Any new information Ed? {Ed002's Note - Ask him on Twitter, not me.}

Agree0 Disagree0

Lets not bring our Twitter rumours here lads. Ed002 is far more reliable than any twitter account

Agree0 Disagree0

02 Sep 2013 18:05:29
Hey eds and fellow users, really hopping we can get a striker in today. Won't bore you with questions as you've done a blinding job through out the transfer window. Fingers crossed to a top signing and a good season.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

02 Sep 2013 18:04:54
Am I missing something why are people assuming that our transfer activity has now finished.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

02 Sep 2013 18:07:00
I still think there will be some developments

Agree0 Disagree0

02 Sep 2013 17:51:24
Sad we didn't bring in a striker after the Falcao and Cavani hopes. Think that's all the team lacks a striker that make defenders tremble even before the games start. Glad we are keeping mata tho. Honestly hope we would be okay with Lukaku, eto'o and Nando. All in all not a bad window, Mou's still the best addition.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

I agree, although I still feel that Eto'o is a great 1 year deal, and I hope/think he will be prolific.

Agree0 Disagree0

02 Sep 2013 17:49:38
Hope we get a striker like everyone else. Our defence is sorted, Cahill and Ivan looking solid under Jose. Maybe a centre mid to go along with lamps, ramires, van ginkel. As far a s I can see Mikel and Essien are wasting squad numbers. Touch wood ba leaves weather on loan or sold. Torres will be a lot better under Jose as will etoo. I dunno where a new signing would leave lukaku?

Believable0 Unbelievable0

02 Sep 2013 17:47:04
Well mou just left cobahm, guess thats, that. We have a squad that includes mata staying. Can't have too many complains about the window, although I really would have loved. Lewandowski, but again no complains.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

02 Sep 2013 17:32:44
I'd be really disappointed if we sell Mata and don't get a top striker in. 91 goals/assists in 119 games will be very tough to replace. I hope we can still keep him, does he want to leave?

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Same here mate. I wanna say Jose nos what he's doing, but from the negative football played so far we need mata to link the passes. I'll be furious!

Agree0 Disagree0

02 Sep 2013 17:06:46
Ed002 if chelsea were to let Mata leave would they not try and bring someone in? {Ed002's Note - We'll see.}

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Ed002 would you say it is likely Mata will sold? It seems a truly pointless sale, selling our best and one of our most popular players.
Please tell me we still have a good chance of keeping him? {Ed002's Note - I am not going to get in to saying what is "likely" to happen. I have explained what needs to happen if he is to be sold.}

Agree0 Disagree0

02 Sep 2013 16:46:10
Ed some French channel reporting PSG have opened talks or held talks with Mata, is he interested in leaving? I swear only a few days ago he was happy in London and willing to fight for his place? Would be prepared to hand in a transfer request to make it happy seeing as we don't apparently want to sell? What would a potential fee be? Doesn't a fee need to be agreed to start talks?

Believable0 Unbelievable0

*make it happen.
Ed can you tell me do you think this deal honestly will happen? Yes or no? {Ed018's Note - there is nothing more to say on this matter for right now}

Agree0 Disagree0

Cheers boss. Time to pray they turn back to Kagawa like some rumours are claiming? Or that Mata doesn't want to leave and we don't want to sell?

Agree0 Disagree0

02 Sep 2013 16:42:55
Sam Hutchinson has gone to vitesse according to sky? Does anyone know tv channels that show Dutch football often? (My Internet isn't the best for live streaming)

Believable0 Unbelievable0

02 Sep 2013 16:30:31
Has Lewandowski still got his heart set on Bayern Munchen? Surely he would rather move to a different club rather than stay at BVB indefinitely!

02 Sep 2013 16:19:45
Ed002 a few rumours that Chelsea may make a late bid for Suarez heard anything? {Ed002's Note - I have heard all sorts of things today.}

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Ed what do you mean? Do you know something we commoners don't know yet? ;)
Hopefully we told PSG to give up on Mata right? :)

Agree0 Disagree0

02 Sep 2013 16:18:47
Really can't see us even bidding for a striker today, we'll just have to hope Eto'o and Lukaku cut the mustard for us this season.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

02 Sep 2013 16:11:14
Ed if P$G want to sign Juan Mata would they need to do it by our deadline or their deadline? (Which I think is the 4th?)
And would you say there is a good chance of Mata leaving? {Ed002's Note - Their deadline is midnight tonight.}

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Really don't want to see Mata sold. :(
Ed, do you know what we said to them when they enquired? Not for sale hopefully? :D {Ed002's Note - I don't know but if he wishes to leave and an acceptable bid is made the club won't stand in his way.}

Agree0 Disagree0

02 Sep 2013 15:36:08
Ed002 are PSG interested in Mata? {Ed002's Note - They have made an enquiry.}

Believable0 Unbelievable0

02 Sep 2013 16:04:31
Hello eds
I know you must be busy but a reply would be nice
If for any strange reason we sell mata ( I hope we don't ) can we replace him with ozil? I know ozil is having a nedical for arsenal but so did willian for spurs
Thanks {Ed018's Note - seems an unlikely scenario to me}

Believable0 Unbelievable0

02 Sep 2013 14:30:20
So eds. Nice and up front. God do you THINK Chelsea might bid for today. Nothing set in stone obviously but whoo for we
Go for today. Hope ya nice and busy today mate

Believable0 Unbelievable0

02 Sep 2013 14:16:37
Any transfer targets in striking department today ED002?

Believable0 Unbelievable0

02 Sep 2013 14:44:22
Not looking good for any striker arriving, disappointing to say the least. Our forwards simply ain't good enough to push for the title and champions league

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Supposing Ba leave, we are left with Lukaku, Torres, Etoo - Which striker do u want again, don't forget we are playing with only 1 striker upfront for now.

Agree0 Disagree0

Yes I know who we are left with, but are they good enough? No! Torres needs to move on he's useless

Agree0 Disagree0

02 Sep 2013 14:39:12
Do not understand the logic in Chelsea 'loaning' Ba to any club.

Sell him and be done

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Agree

Agree0 Disagree0

02 Sep 2013 14:32:37
Hi eds do you think chelsea will make an bid for someone through the day do they want to bring someone in, because am hearing on tele that Ba maybe going but chelsea have said there Quite happy to keep him to me that makes me believe there not looking for another striker to come in {Ed018's Note - Ba will leave today}

Believable0 Unbelievable0

To which club? {Ed018's Note - Arsenal have enquired}

Agree0 Disagree0

02 Sep 2013 13:34:45
Ed002 I hear there may be more than one bid goes in for Suarez, could this be Madrid and Chelsea? I also hear that a club will bid for benzema, is that Chelsea? Cheers mate! Great work on this page as Always

Believable0 Unbelievable0

02 Sep 2013 13:14:27
I really hope we hijack the Özil deal! Mourinho loved him at Madrid and I'm sure Özil would rather join us than the Gunners.

Eds, any thoughts? {Ed018's Note - not gonna happen}

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Why, WHY, WHY would we want Ozil.

For christ sake, look at who we have as attacking midfielders.

Sort yourself out man

Agree0 Disagree0

02 Sep 2013 13:08:32
I understand its important for our players to be given playing time but improving our rivals for champions league positions does not make sense to me. Moses should of gone to everton and hopefully ba goes to roma instead of arsenal.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

No club can make a player go to a specific club on loan.

Agree0 Disagree0

02 Sep 2013 12:27:47
Willian + Hazzard = Wizard
they are going to raise hell in the league, any team who meet them - well it would be a doom's day.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

02 Sep 2013 09:53:31
3 English clubs interested in Ozil apparently - any chance of one being Chelsea? If that was the case I'd imagine it'd rest on Mata leaving?

Believable0 Unbelievable0

02 Sep 2013 08:35:13

Believable0 Unbelievable0

02 Sep 2013 07:59:22
Ed002 is there by back clause for Sturridge? {Ed002's Note - Too much is made of "clauses" in contracts. Just pretend the word does not exist.}

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Why would Sturridge move back? It was a huge huge mistake!

Agree0 Disagree0

02 Sep 2013 05:55:14
Even if we're not involved deadline day is
Exciting. The dodgey rumours the players on way in helicotors blah blah blah. Hope UTD fail to bring anyone great in and Liverpool too, would love Jackson Martinez on deadline day but won't happen I'm afraidzx enjoy everyone

02 Sep 2013 00:45:27
I can see tomorrow being a big day for us in terms of transfers, possibly;
Torres-Arsenal/liverpool
Ba-Roma/arsenal
Mikel-galatasary/Everton
Moses-liverpool
mata- Hopefully staying?

Believable0 Unbelievable0

02 Sep 2013 08:02:26
Sorry, We don't need Torres anymore. You can have him. and BTW thanks for sturridge, we would make him next torres and sell to you at 80 mill.

Agree0 Disagree0

What you have to understand about Liverpool is that any player would look good in their side.
