Ed is there any interest from anywhere for atletico cb Jose gimenez? He's 19 and looks one quality player last I heard city were interested.

{Ed002's Note - Try the European pages.}

He just joined them, man. We can't get every player or be interested in every player.
Besides we don't need him since we're obviously getting Varane :-P

With the icardi talk seeming pretty advanced I was wondering everyone's thoughts? He seems somewhat of a poacher with suprisingly good aerial ability for his height. Not a real burner so will most likely be restricted to a striker role. In the past I've heard whispers of attitude issues but nothing concrete.

For me he looks to good to be a 3rd choice striker. I'd prefer to see Bamford/Solanke take that spot. I don't think we need to spend big on a 3rd choice striker just need to play Remy more. If we're guna spend money I would only like to see it spent on a fast centre half I.e Varane and a Replacement for Cech in the summer I.e Butland. CM isn't a worry I feel with Ramires now fit will play a big part for us, no need to waste money on Pogba when Loftus-Cheek could turn out just as good.

Agree0 Disagree0

Wish I could comment on him but I never watch Italian football. Only reason I know his name is that I've often seen him on the scoresheet haha :)
I guess that's a good thing

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed008's Note - Icardi is a very good player for his age who can only get better very consistent performer when it comes to scoring goals etc and if we didn't already have Diego Costa I would have liked to see him in a Chelsea shirt.

From there comment (I believe by ED001) the other day. I see Remy moving on in the Summer. So, something like, Diego Costa, Icardi and Bamford could be a possibility for next season.

Agree0 Disagree0

Agreed steve, that's the way to go imo

Agree0 Disagree0

Thanks for the input, Ed008 :)

Very cool for Baker and Loftus-Cheek that Hodgson labeled them as 'interesting' players! :)
Know it's a bit random but I thought it was worth mentioning ;-)

Baker is u/19 captain isn't he? I hope he makes it big for us :) same with Loftus cheek. Shout out to the dude a year ago who said this guy will be massive, think he could be right.

Hi Ed002, I haven't posted for a while so I hope you are well.

I was just wondering if the club has ever considered selling naming rights to the Cobham training ground. Manchester United made some big money doing that and I don't see any reasons as to why we wouldn't do it.

Thank you as always

{Ed002's Note - In the past there have been discussions with third parties about naming rights to both the training facility and the stadium - and Chelsea are certainly still open to consideration.}

Ed is there any interest from any club in Thiago Motta? A lot of Rumours flying about he's available and Milan are interested. He would be a good squad player if we could get rid of Mikel.

{Ed002's Note - It will just be speculation right now.}
