ED 002 Is it true Ausilio from Inter was at the Liverpool game?
If so why?
Thanks & HNY

{Ed002's Note - He was there with Walter Sabatini. There was also Aurelio Andreazzoli from Roma and Charles Musonda from Anderlecht. I would not worry about the reasons for folks being there.}

Does anyone really believe that Chelsea is chasing Alonso?

I hope so,,, xabi next to Ramires until we vs. get our targets like pogba or matic etc. Bet he
Goes back to Liverpool

Agree0 Disagree0

Past his best but still a classy deep lying playmaker. Key player for Madrid under Mourinho so could likely be a option. Manchester United or a return to Liverpool are more likely if I was a betting man

Ed 018 why are Chelsea interested in Guarin. Is it due to other targets not being available in January or do they see him as starting potential. Just seems a stop gap then an episode of reduced game time next year. He seems to me to be exactly like Meireles, has an engine and has a good shot but wildly in consistent and will never be in our long term plans. He is 27 so in 2 years isn't going to have an increased resale value. Just don't understand our interest, when there are better players who would better suit our needs.

Thanks

{Ed018's Note - I would have to agree with reasons you listed. It seems he is avalible for a decent price. He's a good player who will help out in a position we are lacking some depth if he does join. I would certainly like to Matic instead}

Valencia is getting new owner. They will get 400million financial injection. Another MC, PSG, Monaco rises.

Good. Like Valencia. Always produce good players and get best out of them. Silva mata villa arbeloa etc plus someone to maybe rival barca and Madrid. If only for few years

I don't think we should panic buy in the transfer window. We can bring in Courtoise, Piazon, Lukaku, Van Arnoholt & Oriel, all who are having fantastic seasons away on loan. We can also promote a player like Ake. We have Van Ginkel & kalas to come back from long term injury & that's without the likes of Wallace & numerous other players with have on loan & are part owners in. The priority is the CF.

At last, someone who sees the bigger picture. Totally agree with a few additions . some players will leave and some positions we do need to buy. I would like to see Shaw at let back with Van Arnholt when Cole goes, Paizon to get into the squad when Lampard goes and a world class stiker / strikers to go with Lukaku. Ba to go next window, Eto at the end of season, Torres??
On a brighter note Happy new Year to all, and to the Eds thanks for all your efforts and long may they continue, and don't piss you off in the coming window

Agree0 Disagree0

Couldn't agree more with both of you. For me van aanholt is looking seriously good in holland. Romeu played some seriously good football as of late aswell. Piazon is a no brainer also lukaku. If Jose actually trained these youngsters they would be up and coming, but with Chelsea always looking to sign the Torres and shevchenkos I'm afraid they won't get the time here. I wanna see Bertrand at left back instead of cole and dave at right back.

Ed(s) - hope you all had a good christmas and have a decent new years lined up.

General question for you: do you see any activity from Chelsea within the first half of January? I.e is anything actively being dealt with right now, either in or out?

{Ed002's Note - I have no idea.}
