First of all great job EDs! Been following this forum for the last two years and its been awesome!

1. I've seen you saying time and again that if a decent offer at the right price arrives, a player may leave.

2.We also have a load of loaned out players, mostly in the mid field and up front.

My questions, given these two points are:

a. Even though they are young and talented, some of them do have what it takes to compete in the PL/UCL even today; can we not use this vastly talented pool of young players and kick older sub-performers like Ba, Mikel, etc?

b. Which of the loaned out players do u see permanantly/temporary leaving and/or joining the senior squad? (Courtois for sure, Lukaku, Marin, Romeu, Piazon, PVA?)

c. Any news on what will happen to the Old Guard? Terry, Cole, Lamps? (Cech is still brilliant and I don't expect him to leave, even with Courtois coming back)

Thanks in advance.

Cheers!

Billy Clifford
Ulises Davila
Matej Delac

Marko Marin
Josh McEachran

Lastly the players to move into the squad -

Tomas Kallas (Has been injured alot, currently in the squad now)
Thibaut Courtois
Nathaniel Chalobah
Patrick Van Aanholt
Lucas Pizaon
Romelu Lukaku

Hopeful Summer Signings -

Luke Shaw £25m
Ross Barkley £25m+
Mosquito £4m+
Berahino £7m+
Javier Hernandez £10m+

Just my opinion, may have missed some out.

Agree0 Disagree0

PB1989 - with all those moves, how would you meet the homegrown criteria for various competitions?

Agree0 Disagree0

If Ba&Eto'o will be off in summer Chelsea must sign at least one striker. Maybe some player from academy will be promoted in to first. I agree with your estimation.

Agree0 Disagree0

Maybe Patrick Bamford will get his chance.

Agree0 Disagree0

Terry (HG), Cahill (HG), Blackman (HG), Nathaniel Chalobah (HG), Luke Shaw (HG), Ross Barkley (HG), Van Aanholt (HG), Berahino (HG). You can then include u21 players to boost your quota.

The required amount is 8 and 8 is there? don't really no what your question is.

Hi Eds,

Was just wondering is there any substance in the rumour that Chelsea could be willing to sell Lukaku in order to free up space and funds to make a move for Falcao or Costa?

I know he is on loan and therefore is not taking up space but I am sure he will either want to be sold to a team where he will get first team action or else challenge for the first team at Chelsea.

Also Chelsea aren't exactly broke but do need to ensure they do not break any Financial Rules.

So Eds, Is it possible that Chelsea would be willing to sell in the near future?

Thanks

{Ed002's Note - It won't happen this month.}

I am aware that no deal could possibly take place this window as he is on loan at Everton this window and I would imagine a lot of effort and time would be required to complete a deal within the remaining time.

So do you think after or during the summer they may decide to sell him Lukaku?

Thanks for your response Eds, I know this time of year can be very busy.

I think hernandez would be a great backup striker for us. If we could bring him in now let ba go he, torres and eto'o could finish the season the in the summer we could bring in that "major striker" with Lukaku coming back eto'o and Torres leaving and we could really work with that to good effect. What do you guys think.

Is this a trick question?

Agree0 Disagree0

Have you not seen luiz defend, and jt is getting on so can't play every game.
So there's your reason

Agree0 Disagree0

JT and Gary have only conceded 2 goals in the last 9 games.

Cant complain I think where doing well this season without hitting top form. But we are always going to have these kind of results until we get a top class striker, which will hopefully be sorted out in the summer. The only problem I think we have is playing two holding midfield players especially at home, its just not needed. Also i'd say matic should of started after playing a great game last time out.
