Don't get me wrong, but I must admit that I am impressed what Martinez and Rodgers did last season with relatively average squads. They've had far weaker squads compared to Man.City, MU, Arsenal or Chelsea and they ended up second and fifth. Amazing job done.
I hope JM.will get the right system especially against lesser teams which was the biggest Chelsea problem last season. With given players 433 is probably the best solution. Also I have to admit that I am a bit scared after I've seen MU playing under LVG. Quite impressive.

I think that over the course of the season we will become far to strong for anyone else out there, man u will be better than last season [but that won't be hard] and Everton and Liverpool won't be problems for us. All wrapped up with three games to go I predict!

Chn, there are teams out there that are ready to fill the void left by any of the top 5. Moreso, they will not be in several cup competitions and as such have a better advantage to suceed in the league. Liverpool did not play in the Champ. Lge last season and so was Everton. Also, limelight and pressure is not always the same as you have them on top 5 in Premiership. No-one would consider 15-goal striker of a big club as top notch, whereas it is a good season with smaller clubs. Weight factors are never the same with top and average club.

I do believe that this seasn will be even more interesting than last one sadly I see man u coming back to top 4 this season. But I think if you can call any seasons the most unpredictable one it has to be this one

I think man city are going to be strong & quick this year as will Liverpool! We have a stronger squad than Liverpool, United & arsenal. Even if we put out our best 11 the bench looks just as good & I haven't seen that in a few years

5th for Chelsea, . don't expect anything better with Borinho there.

{Ed018's Note - clueless}

5th? we finished 3rd without a striker scoring more than 10 PL goals (i think) and have strengthened our midfield with Fabregas. Add to that Willian, Matic and Schurrle are now more settled and Hazard and Oscar are also likely to improve naturally with age. I don't see how we would go backwards. Didn't lose to a team in the top 6 let year either. If we work out a way to break down teams that sit deep we will walk it.

We will see who's clueless @ the end of the season - the Chelsea fans as usual! City, Utd, Arsenal and Liverpool will be up there. U lot will have to be fighting for 5th with Everton and Spurs.

{Ed018's Note - whatever you say. Now get back to your own page}

Lol what a joker. He knows nothing

Why come on here and call our Ed clueless? Liverpool won't finish in the top four, fact! Last season they only had the EPL to deal with. This season they've sold their star man and are going to have mid week football. All the have done is buy average players at best. They will not get out the group stages of the CL and finish outside the top four. Arsenal will be short at the back after selling their best CB. And united need to make improvements. I see it as a two horse race, which we will win. So bore off big lad!

See you! U tell him.ed018!

U watching the game mate?

{Ed018's Note - yes}

Some people can't stand the fact that Cesc and D.Costa are Chelsea players now and the fact that Chelsea has one of the best squads in Europe. For god sake why do you come to Chelsea banter page if you are not Chelsea fan? So immature.

2 rumour posts in last 7 days. This website is a shadow of it's former self without ed002 input. Could you just email members if ed002 returns as checking this site is almost pointless now. I am really sad as other clubs pages are still going strong and it is because of the personic few that we are now all being punished!

{Ed008's Note - But if you the posters aren't sending them in how are myself and Ed018 supposed to reply? Your fixed on the idea of Ed002 too much with his information when he returns he will do it on his terms, theirs 2 other Eds on this page aswell you know..

Hey lads please give some respect to remaining eds. We chelsea fans can have some discussions which can keep us and readers enterntained

{Ed008's Note - Exactly!

LRDlt is right. It's up to us to keep it going. There are lots of posters on here who post some great stuff Jackson, matt, Steve, Andrew, woody, Wheely, chn, Sid, Blueboy, Aron, Fuser, Lampsy just off the top of my head and we can really make it fun and lively on here not to mention the fact that we are looking at what might be an exciting season.

Also we have Ed018 who gives his views on not just transfers but footballing matters and ED008 who has also made things a little less stiff with his replies. Yeah we miss Ed002 but the site isn't asked002.com and I'm positive he'll return before the window shuts (my sources tell me:) So let's make it happen .

P.S. we still want Pogba. ;-)

{Ed008's Note - I want Pogba too!!!

Must admit I don't always come on the website to ask ed002 stuff. I think I've asked him one or two questions in the past 3-4 years I've been using the site. I like coming on here to read other posters ideas and opinions on the team and players.

Most people won't even recognise my name as I post so little but if the banter picks up abit I will definitely join in more often

This is the exact reason the editors get so annoyed. Small digs at them or just damn right rude. They do have lives themselves. Information will come when their is something to share the light on.

Wow ELI, I feel honoured that you named me first :-P

And I fully agree. There are lots of posters who share their views on the club etc. and those can be very interesting to read as well.

POGBA POGBA POGBA!

Apologies to ed008, 018 and 005 I did not mean to criticise your input but was trying to make the point that the website has suffered since ed002 stopped posting. I appreciate all of the information that is given by the eds and was just venting my anger as this was/is my favorite and most reliable site for news. Apologies again, my post was born out of frustration not mallace and I hope to see more posts/input in the future.

Cheers bud

long live ed008, way better than ed002, good info but at what price? you say the wrong thing and they go away. its just a football chat site. we are all here just to find out who is coming and going at Chelsea people!

I can imagine ed02 looking at your first sentence rosko blues ( even if it was meant tongue in cheek), and saying to himself, in that case ed08 can answer everything and I will continue to stay away.
