What's the situation with the cases aguero and de rossi Ed?thanks {Ed018's Note - anything involving Aguero wont be resolved until the copa america is over, there has been interest from Chelsea in the past and they may come back to him if other targets can not be signed. theres also been interest in De Rossi in the past and he could be viewed as someone who could come in for the injured Essien}

Hi ed with inter on the verge of signing johnathan from santos does that leave the door open for chelsea to sign vdw or does AVB have different plans for the rb position? {Ed002's Note - I don't know what the plan is for RB. He would have been aware of the original intentions for VDW so it may well still be an option.}

Chelsea to make offer for De Rossi if Modric deal not agreed within next few days £35m - Italian media
MK {Ed018's Note - i dont think a bid for De Rossi would be dependent on whether Modric joins Chelsea or not.}

Believable0 Unbelievable1

Stats show 'De Rossi' has contributed to more goals than 'Modric' last season and from fewer games. Also scored just one goal less. Modric may be good at passing ball in triangles but creates no more than de rossi, maybe more similar than you think.

Chelsea have made a 27 million pound bid for luka modric, found it out on sky sports, do you know if its true? {Ed018's Note - yea it appears to be true from what ive gathered}

If we are interested in tevez would we be willing to bid 50 million bid for him Ed?thanks {Ed018's Note - we'd bid lower than that to start, but like ive said before, i really think Tevez wants out of England}

Any chance of a bid for Santon and if so what kind of figure do Inter value him at? {Ed002's Note - May go on loan in Italy or be sold. But unlikely to leave Italy.

Ed002, what are the chances of chelsea signing modric please? {Ed002's Note - It would be guess work on my behalf but seems there is interest. I know nothing of the bid but would guess there is a reasonable chance.}

ED018, What's currently happening with the modric situation? {Ed018's Note - sounds like another bid is on the way, ive heard 27 million. it'll probably be rejected and they'll probably hold out for 32 million]
-------------------------------------------------
If the new bid gets rejected, do you think Chelsea will bid £32 million for him? { Ed018's Note - I believe so. They are probably anticipating Modric to put in a transfer request after the this next bid gets rejected and i think Tottenham will be resigned to losing him and will eventually let him go for a fee around 32 million}

Believable4 Unbelievable0

How stupid to bid £27m straight after £22m Why not bid £24m, let Modric put in a transfer request (which he will) and then bid £25m-£26m and go from there. Spurs are gonna us rip us right off at this rate.

ED002 some questions for you..

1) with a new bid for Modric likely to be made and a offer for Pastore on the table are 2 centre Mids a possibilty?

2)You say there is interest in De Rossi? Any other players you know that chelsea have interest in since AVB took over?

Cheers. {Ed002's Note - (1) A possibility obviously. (2) Rolando and Fernando.}

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Oh right when will be seeing players leave?

Also will we be going back in for Aguero now Madrid have pulled out & anything on Di maria

Will Chelsea include a player in the Modric deal? {Ed002's Note - It is impossible to guess at the timing of players coming and going. Aguero, perhaps. There is nothing on Di Maria today. I know nothing of the Modric deal.}

Agree0 Disagree0

11 Jul 2011 19:33:34
ED, considering his love of attacking football how much of a look do you think AVB will be having at Bosingwa before considering a new right back?

I know he isn't popular with most fans but he was regarded as one of the best right backs in the Prem during his first year. With Ivanovic as a more solid option when needed it a new RB needed? {Ed002's Note - I don't know the unit of measurement for looks, but I am going to say he will take three ganders at him before deciding to sell him, probably, to Besiktas.}

Nani to Chelsea by end of window. 100% confirmed by source this afternoon.

Believable2 Unbelievable16

What source this did u get this from because this seems highly unlikely

Agree0 Disagree0

Yeh and Torres to Plymouth argyle 100% confirmed by my source pat the local newsagent

Agree0 Disagree0

Hahahahahahaha...soemone has been reading Nani's comments re. AVB and looking toofar into them; would love to see it happen but not likely

Agree0 Disagree0

From what I was told Nani is unhappy that he was offered in a makeweight to land Sneider.
He is looking to move on after the signing of Young and AVB is very interested...
Got the Torres signing correct weeks before anyone else so we will see eh

Agree0 Disagree0

11 Jul 2011 17:03:12
Ed do you think chelsea will end up making a bid for Jaun Mata? He is a great long term replacement for Malouda.... {Ed002's Note - It is possible, but so is Arda Turan, Neymar ...}

Believable5 Unbelievable0

What a daft question, Do you think Its not what the ed's think its what they no. I suggest you re-phrase your question.

Agree0 Disagree0

11 Jul 2011 17:02:12
Tevez is just using the family routine as an excuse to exit City, dont be fooled by the reports on him just wanting a move out of England. There is a massive chance he could join us, but we shall wait and see.

Believable4 Unbelievable7

If Tevez said he wants to be with his family while currently playing in England then there is NO CHANCE he will stay in England DAH

Agree0 Disagree0

Corinthians have bid 37million for tevez, seeing as its his old club and the side of the pond he wants to be, if man s**tty accept which they could well do as its not to a domestic or european rival this is surely the option he will take. A bid of that nature from a south american side is unprecedented and would surely not just be a lucky punt

Agree0 Disagree0

11 Jul 2011 16:59:13
I think we should push for Sanchez, seems Like player we could really do with, just like arjen robben was for us, also snijder would be really good buy but think were going for young fresh talent. I.e neymar pastore lukaku, are there Any players apart from ones mentioned time and time again were looking at.?

Believable2 Unbelievable0

I agree, but Sanchez favours Barca apparently

Agree0 Disagree0

11 Jul 2011 16:20:31
Hi ed are reports trure that Chelsea are to make an improved bid for luka modric today and if so would u have any idea how much they will offer? Thanks {Ed002's Note - Actually, I know zip about the offers for Modric at all. It seems given the reports that it is possible.}

Believable3 Unbelievable0

Does'nt matter how much, we will get him eventually regardless. Tottenham, well Levy rather, has made a mega issue out of this and acted like a stubbern child. I honestly believe the reports about Levy threatening to let him rot in the reserves or become a spectator in the stands. Levy is slimy and very stubbern to say the least but will break eventually and will have to let Modric go as it is the only solution that will benefit everybody.

Agree0 Disagree0

11 Jul 2011 14:54:59
Is there a possibility of de rossi, modric and tevez signing for us Ed?thanks {Ed002's Note - No.}

Believable2 Unbelievable0

Is it possible to guess which of those three would be most likely or is it pointless Ed? {Ed002's Note - Pointless.}

Agree0 Disagree0

Ofcourse its possible, this is football. I for one don't really think we need De Rossi, Especially when we have Luiz who could probably do a better job in that position than most. Bring in Rolando and partner him at the back with Terry, push Luiz into the midfield holding position with Ramires and Modric. Then Put Tevez and Pastore either side of Torres. What a team this would be not to mention VDW at right back.

Agree0 Disagree0

11 Jul 2011 13:13:28
Courtois' father and agent Thierry confirmed a deal was close and he expects it to go through on Tuesday.

ED CAN U CONFIRM THIS ... {Ed002's Note - He spent a day at Cobham on Thursday but as to how close a transfer is or if it might complete tomorrow would be guessing on my part. It seem sit has been on the cards for a while.}

Hi, Ed i was just wondering about Pastore and Neymar. The asking price for both is very high, however Pastore, as it stands, cannot get into a poor Argentina side, and Neymar was ranked as the worst player on the pitch against Paraguay by the Brazilian press. Are these factors likely to either lower the asking price, or turn of potential suitors? I used to be really eager to see Neymar at Chelsea but the reports about how he is playing at the Copa are making me question why we are wanting to pay so much money for him. Cheers. {Ed002's Note - It will not impact the price of the players at all. One bad performance never would do.}

Believable1 Unbelievable0

Ed what about bad CA.? {Ed002's Note - I have no idea what you mean, sorry.}

Agree0 Disagree0

11 Jul 2011 12:58:29
Do Inter Milan have an interest in Pastore ED002? {Ed002's Note - An Italian club does but I suspect it might be AC Milan rather than Inter. But it will be one or the other.}

Believable3 Unbelievable0

If Sneider does indeed got to Man utd I would expect Inter rather than AC to go for Pastore. I think Argentinian players prefer Italy and once there - tend to stay. Much as I would love him at Chelsea; I have a feeling he will stay in Italy {Ed002's Note - OK it is possible. But don't forget that Inter are after Sanchez as well now.}

Agree0 Disagree0

11 Jul 2011 12:56:56
Hi Ed,

Do you know when Modric's contract runs until?

Also what is the possibility of Chelsea signing one of the below:

Neymar
Sanchez
Mata

Unlikely?, Likely?

Thanks

Really appreciate the work u put into the site for free {Ed002's Note - Modric signed a 6 year deal last year so I assume 2016. There is a chance of one of the players being signed.}

Believable0 Unbelievable1

11 Jul 2011 12:55:29
ED002 you say there has been interest in De Rossi was this since VB took over or before? {Ed002's Note - Since he has taken over.}

Believable3 Unbelievable0

Probably it is conected with Essien injury

Agree0 Disagree0

11 Jul 2011 12:41:56
ed italian reports saying we bid 35 mil euros for de rossi any truth {Ed002's Note - Possibly - there has been interest but I don't know that there has been a bid.}

Believable5 Unbelievable0

What i though youd say no chance
hes not what we need and hes 27 we could a good young player for much cheaper like banega {Ed002's Note - I said no chance to Parker.}

Agree0 Disagree0

11 Jul 2011 12:22:42
Ed..Assuming Alex goes to Bayern would it not be more likely that we go for an English replacement, Cahill for example, rather than Rolando given the quota rule?

Ed002 what is happening with the Lukaku deal? {Ed002's Note - There is nothing new. Anderlecht know what they need to do for further talks.}

Believable3 Unbelievable1

What do they need to do? {Ed002's Note - It is all about the money as I have said before. Chelsea's interest in Lukaku cooled when Anderlecht said they wanted 30M euros for the player. Chelsea made it clear that was not going to happen and identified an upper value they would go no higher than.}

Agree0 Disagree0

11 Jul 2011 11:25:30
Of a player were to have a medical, what is the likelihood of them joining that team? {Ed002's Note - High.}

Believable1 Unbelievable0

11 Jul 2011 11:20:50
alright ed

i keep hearing this rumour and am wanting to find it out is torres leaving chelsea ? {Ed002's Note - I doubt it.}

Believable3 Unbelievable3

I hope so, the biggest waste of money in the premier league, he had a horrible world cup, horrible season with Liverpool, so lets spend 50 million on him, not a patch on Drogba.

Agree0 Disagree0

11 Jul 2011 11:14:52
Hi Ed,

Just wondering if u knew how much we brough Alex from Santos for? just for the simple fact that if we do sell him to Munich how much profit will we b making?
i know he had a buy out clause at PSV of something stupid like a quid but how much did Santos get for him?

Also any news on Modric or Pastore?

Thanks mate {Ed002's Note - Alex was signed for just under 5M euros from Santos and sent to PSV for three years before joining Chelsea for one euro. There is no news on Modic or Pastore.}

Could we really let sneijder go to utd and aguero to city the pair seem like perfect fits to the Chelsea team to much time has been spent on the chase for naymer and modric and with essien out again surly that frees up a space for another midfielder to join.ed Iam sure any football fan will agree modric or sneijder well there's no compition Modric isn't in the same league as sneijder so I guess utd have got a world class player and we get a half decent prem player thought we were trying to go forward not bk

Believable5 Unbelievable1

Modric is a world class player aswell he ripped inter apart at white hart lane

Agree0 Disagree0

Xavi iniesta sneijder kaka they are world class modric might of played well against inter put he doesn't show it often as you have said he played well against inter that's his highlight of a long season he needs to be putting in top class performances week in week out to become class in a team with van der varrt .bale .he lacked very much behind them the only reason he is being talked about in the papers is cose Chelsea have bid for him god knows why but I do think if we buy pastore with a top dm to replace essien then maybe modric/pastore combo will work

Agree0 Disagree0

11 Jul 2011 08:20:46
Pursuit of Neymar is now bordering on Comical Modric says it's a dream to play for a team like Chelsea whilst Neymars agent already has him at the Bernebeu (Spelling?)

is it true that anelka will go to PSG and alex to bayern. and we will go for falcao rolando and , moutinho a replacment for essien as might be injured for 6 months {Ed002's Note - Anelka has several options not least Anzhi Makhachkala and PSG. He will be leaving. Alex will likely complete his move to Bayern Munich this week. Falcao remains a target but if he signs a new contract at Porto raising his price to 45M euros he will likely be off the list. It very much in the hands of his agent right now. Rolando is seemingly being preferred to long term target Subotnic by the new manager. Moutinho seems a lot less likely to me and certainly would not be a like-for-like replacement for Essien.

Believable4 Unbelievable0

Being a FCP supporter, I reckon Villas Boas wants that 3 players cause they were the backbone of last seasonĀ s dream team.
The problem is they cost in all the same as Cristiano Ronaldo.

Rolando - more reliable defender than David Luiz but not so good with the ball in his feet.

Moutinho - best player in FCP squad. Different than Essien. More like Xavi kind of player.

Falcao - At 30M is the best bargain nowadays. Clinical finisher (but i would prefer Hulk)

Agree0 Disagree0

Moutinho can not replace Essien, only true replacment could be Rodwell.

Agree0 Disagree0

John Terry to be axed as captain and of place in the main team... possibly AVB will bring in Neven Subotic to replace him {Ed018's Note - you just posted a starting lineup with Terry in it, now your saying he may get axed

Believable2 Unbelievable12

It is a rumours website , , , but don't make your own roumors , post those on other websites or simply your own opinion

Agree0 Disagree0
