Romelu is out for rest of season with knee injury, Ed will we look to get cover in Jan as Mikel is away or return some loanees.
Thanks
Tom {Ed002's Note - In terms of targets nothing will change. In terms of timing perhaps an effort will be made to bring someone in earlier. If his fitness is OK there may be a chance for Rohan Ince who was recalled from his loan to Yeovil. Connor Clifford is due back in the new year as well. I would think Lampard could also provide cover if needs be.}

Ed 002 Does that mean Frank will stay until the end of the season?
I hope we arent relying in Ince as he has been injured more than fit for the past few seasons {Ed002's Note - I think that Lampard will stay until the end of the season.}

Ed002 I am pleased to hear that as rumours were around a few months ago that he might leave in January. {Ed002's Note - It is possible that he will, but probably not likely at this time. To the best of my knowledge, no decision has been taken on his future just yet.}

Ed, is if 100% confirmed that Romeu is practically out for season? {Ed002's Note - He has been under the knife - it'll be a while at least.}

We will definitely buy a midfielder in Jan

Conor Clifford can't play for Chelsea this season, as he's now taken part in official matches for two clubs this season. By UEFA rules, he's no longer eligible to play for anyone but the two clubs he's already dressed for this season. {Ed002's Note - Actually the Portsmouth loan was nulled after a breach of contract.}

I would play David Luiz in the holding role. cahill and terry/iva at cb.
BLUE DUDE

Ed do you believe that the purchase of bony is realistic {Ed002's Note - It is possible. Wilfried Bony was of interest to Newcastle over the summer and has been a player Chelsea have been considering for a while. Right now there is varying degrees of interest from Aston Villa, QPR, Liverpool, Everton and a couple of German sides (Hamburg and Schalke) but I doubt he will move to either. It would not be a surprise to see interest from other teams, possibly Napoli and Roma, but that is all there is at this time. The player has said he would like to join Chelsea but anymove in January is by no means certain.}

what clubs are Interested in Hamsik? {Ed002's Note - I don't expect Hamsik to be moving. The only club to have made any sort of proposal recently is PSG.}

ED have PSG agreed a deal for Sneijder? {Ed002's Note - Not yet but I suspect they may. PSG and Fenerbhace are the two most likely destinations for Sneijder at this time. Anzhi and Spartak Moscow retain an interest in him but chances of a move to Russia seem to be near zero. I don't know of any remaining interest from Manchester United. There is a very slim chance that he could make a surprise move somewhere else and discussions have been held with a club on a different continent, but I would supect that is something for the future.}

Is that continent by any chance america? {Ed002's Note - Right.}
