Malaga have confirmed that a substantial offer from England has been made for Rondon. Are Chelsea interested in the player, and could this mystery club be Chelsea ED? {Ed002's Note - Not if it is a "substantial" offer.}
11 Jul 2012 21:45:38
Ed002
Are Chelsea interested in Danny Welbeck? {Ed002's Note - No.}
Hope not, poor mans Daniel Sturridge! Sturridge may be greedy but Welbeck isn't fit to lace his boots!
11 Jul 2012 21:22:37
ED is it true Marco Branca will be in london to meet with chelsea to discuss a deal for Maicon? {Ed002's Note - Read the earlier posts.}
What a ridiculous thing to suggest ed!
11 Jul 2012 21:06:00
Italian media claims maicon move to Chelsea has stalled due to diff in contracts lengths ! Ed thoughts? :) {Ed002's Note - As I have said before I know nothing of anything involving Maicon and the first choice for RB remains unchanged.}
I can see no reason why we would be interested in a 30 plus RB when we are offloading players like Nic & Drogs.
Has to be his agent looking to create a market for the player.
11 Jul 2012 21:04:52
I did not say Hulk would join within the next 24 hours and I didnt say that RVP would join!! What the hell! Clearly that was someone impersonating me! Just like someone impersonated Jm10. Why would I say Hulk was joining within the next 24 hours when I previously said there was a third party issue that needed to be dealt with? And why on earth would I say RVP would be joining?
You absolute fools.Samir
Samir, give it a rest your boring everyone with your crap gossip!
Back tracking on your posts isnt cool or cleaver.
We've seen posts from you, but as you say it's someone pretending to be you! Why would someone do that, what would that achieve! Samir just give it rest
Agree Samir, i was getting absolutely slated where is was clear as day that some loser was making it up
Jm10
That's not Samir
Give it a rest!
Has this turned into the Samir page? Is starting a new thread about your discredited self necessary? What an attention seeker.
Please Samir, just give it a rest. This "impersonating" stuff is an almost everyday occurance at this stage, I personally just skip over any post I see signed Samir at the minute if I'm being honest.
Easy solution, do what i do and restrict any posting in the transfer window months then come back when all the trolls are gone.
jono
Yes Jm10! They have no sense at all!
And to that person who said he skips a post that is signed Samir...........why did you comment then?
LOL.

I really think we will just pull out of hulk talks and look elsewhere which IMO is silly, he is perfect for prem where as I think Oscar will be to lightweight for prem. shurrle for Leverkusen would be brilliant by as would azpilcueta
So i take it Juan Mata and David Silva are both too lightweight for the prem then?
If you have enough talent, being 'lightweight' is irrelevant.

Ed will teh players that are involved in the Olympics go on tour pre season {Ed002's Note - No.}
So David Luiz, Ryan Bertrand, Danny sturridge, juan mata and oriol romeu will all miss the USA tour but what will the latest they will finish (if their teams make the final) at the Olympics?
Cheers
Dan1CFC {Ed018's Note - I believe the finals are August 11th}
David Luiz did not make the final cut of the Brazil squad so he will join the club on tour.
11 Jul 2012 20:14:48
Hi Eds, was just wondering whether one of you could explain the FFP rules once and for all, have been asking for about a month now. {Ed002's Note - Remind me on FRiday morning - I do not have time now and I am not available tomorrow due to work commitments.}
There are many rules. What exactly do you want explained? You can find the regulations for yourself on the internet. Read Articles 58-63.
Your be waiting another month cause none of the eds no {Ed002's Note - Thank you for the appreciation. The Eds give their time for nothing to keep this going and all we get in appreciation is anonymous hate-filled mother f*ckers like you trolling the site.}
11 Jul 2012 19:59:02
Hi ED
What's the situation with Benayoun? will he stay or not?
tnx Ashk {Ed002's Note - I would think if an option becomes available that he and teh club are happy with he will move on.}
11 Jul 2012 19:19:43
Bayer Leverkusen director Wolfgang Holzhauser has not ruled out Andre Schurrle's exit from the club.
The German outfit revealed at the weekend that they had turned down a bid in excess of £16million from Chelsea for the 21-year-old German international.
While Holzhauser says he laid the topic to rest at the weekend, he admits that might not yet be the end of the matter.
He told Rheinische Post newspaper: "I am not keen on ruling anything out at any point in time, but personally I have laid this topic to full rest last weekend.
"Of course, we have seriously considered the offer. We did. Still we came to the conclusion we would be unable to sign an adequate and affordable replacement for Andre Schurrle."
We won't get Schurlle
We have moved onto other targets now so we may as well forget about him
For now Oscar seems the priority
Who says we have moved on ?
You'll see
As you are so well informed who is the preferred striker now, because Oscar isnt a striker.
And as has been said on here many times we are looking for a striker.
Hes not no - but he can play on the right, freeing Sturridge up to play central (more often) along with Torres and Lukaku if needed.
11 Jul 2012 19:14:04
I really hope that if De Bruyne is as impressive in the USA as he has been in training then hopefully Robbie will give him a chance to go straight into the first team and not loan him out
thoughts?
If hes Goodenough hes Good enough simple has that mate but game time has to be taken into account
Where can i found out about how he is doing in training?
How do you know he has been good in training?
He will stay.
He's 21, same age as hazard
the only way he's going to get experience is if he's given a chance, no point loaning him out as he will be forgotten about!
11 Jul 2012 19:04:40
ED002 PSG have an agree to sign both Ibrahimovic and Thiago Silva? {Ed002's Note - Not at this time.}
11 Jul 2012 18:35:29
Looks like all the Hulk talks was load of BS? overpriced, and i never seen him play, but still wouldnt mind him joining, need a good RW
11 Jul 2012 18:22:54
ED002 i now you have said there are still ownership problems with Oscar but have the clubs spoke about the fee it would require for them to sell him? {Ed002's Note - No, you have misunderstood.}
What do you mean ED? {Ed002's Note - The statement stands on its own.}
I think there were a few rows over who actually owned him. I read something saying Internacional settled this difference with a 5million compensation payment to his previous club. I could be wrong but i think Ed was saying Chelsea were looking for proof that Internacional now have full ownership over him. Correct me if im wrong ed
Ed when will we know when this proof or ownership?
Jim {Ed002's Note - It was promised for today.}
11 Jul 2012 16:51:40
: VITESSE LOANS FOR YOUNG PAIR: Youngsters Tomas Kalas and Patrick van Aanholt have today completed their loan deals.
11 Jul 2012 16:22:18
Liking what Chelsea are doing this transfer window, if we get Oscar, Hulk, a new centre forward and a right back then happy days lay ahead.
Get Pizon, Romeuo, Lukako, McEachran and De Byrne all out on loan. Although if it's true that De Byrne is lighting up the training pitch then keep him as part of the first team set up. Sell maluoda Essien and sturridge, and keep the 2 central midfield spaces for lamps, rami, Mikel, and mirreles. Going to be a exciting season.
Lunchbox
11 Jul 2012 16:15:10
Most likely Chelsea signings will be
Hulk = 35 million
Oscar = 25 million
Andre Schurrle = 22 million
Would love to sign all 3 and sell Malouda,Struddige and Mireiles. With these 3 and Hazard,Marin and Lukaku we would have 6 world class forwards/Attacking Mids for the next 5 - 10 years!! DJ
We will not get all 3. Probably 2 of the 3 will join. In addition to a right back we are all set
I doubt all will come.... Hulk n Oscar maybe
11 Jul 2012 16:07:01
I swear Im not gloating, but did I not tell you all about the part-ownership issues with Hulk (i.e. disputing the payment over the remaining 10% of his player rights) weeks before The Guardian reported it? Just saying.Samir
STOP impersonating Samir.
No, that really was me, lol.
Samir
Samir, you've got more wrong then right so stop gloating
Thats what someone impersonating Samir would say.
Samir no one impersonated u last time u just put it cuz u thought it would happen and when it didn't happen u didn't want to look stupid so u made up that some1 was impersonating you.
Blue con
It was reported long before the Guardian repeated it and you're taking credit? Stop with your BS, thanks.
What? No mate, your overthinking things too much. Ive always stuck by what I said bro.
And what have I got wrong before?
Samir
Dude seriously stop looking for attention and stop trying to take credit for something somebody else already said not cool man not cool
Samir your boring us all now :)
Give it a rest even Ed thinks you are full of BS. Here's what you got wrong: You said Hulk would sign "in the next 24 hours" last week. When it looked like it wasn't going to happen you pretended that someone else impersonated you. So not only did you not stick by what you said you concocted an excuse to avoid taking responsibility. LOL.
Supposedly RVP was latest one you said Samir.
Go on say it wasn't you
I did not say Hulk would join within the next 24 hours and I didnt say that RVP would join!! What the hell! Clearly that was someone impersonating me!
Samir
11 Jul 2012 15:38:40
Ed does it look as though Chelsea have/will sort out the issues regarding ownership of Oscar
Jm10 {Ed002's Note - I provided an update earlier.}
11 Jul 2012 15:31:52
Heyy ED, Sky Italia reporting that Chelsea are preparing to bid £6 million for Krasic. Any truth in this?
MB {Ed002's Note - Is this from Twitter? If it is, please don't bother with it.]
Liverpool and spurs were interested so hes not that bad
He said Sky Italia not twitter . Your answer for most thing is "Is this from twitter" {Ed002's Note - I rather think it came from Twitter.}
11 Jul 2012 14:12:04
Ed is it true barca want romeu back?
Carefree {Ed002's Note - Don't know.}
This wud b sad
Was always guna happen hes a great player i recon thats why they stopped playing him be a shame to loose him
Carefree
11 Jul 2012 13:46:03
Hi ed do u think there's a gd chance tht Chelsea will sign all three of the players tht we are in talks with hulk,Oscar n schurrie? And obvs a rb to!
Cheers gd work! {Ed002's Note - No, not a good chance.}
Do u reckon hulk n Oscar are the one we more likely to sign out of the three?! {Ed002's Note - I am not getting in to any of these weird multiple purchase questions.}
Of course chelsea are pursuing more than 1 targer, doesn't mean that they will get them all though!
If we only pursued one target at a time we'd get nowhere
Honestly some people don't use their heads and think it's all a fantasy league
11 Jul 2012 12:18:26
Hey guys and eds
Does anyone know if theres any websites that will be showing the preseason matches?
jono
Www.p2p4u.net which will come up as firstrowsports or something like that as they changed their name but if u type the address in it will come up with the correct page

BlueBen
has chelseatv on it
Chelsea tv is the easiest way to watch it you tight git and you get to watch the all the latest news and reserves and the youth games and gigi aint half bad either
As above get Chelsea TV or go for the Chelsea Digital Membership for £30 for next season. Opportunity to buy match tickets and streaming of Chelsea TV to capable devices....
Go and buy a shirt BlueBen. Have you been to Stamford Bridge before? Poor form.
Yeah i have both shirts and a season ticket just because we can afford things dosent mean evryone else can when i was still living at home before i was working my old dear couldnt afford Chelseatv so i had to watch it other ways dont be so quick judge people you never no when your situation might turn and you would be doing the exact same thing he might have kids and need to spend his money elsewhere dont take your luxurys for granted you snobby f**&tard some people have more important priorites.
BlueBen
BlueBen you just said what i was thinking - respect to you, i am in the same situation.
Well said BlueBen :)
Fair enough if you have kids, don't smoke, don't drink, walk to work, buy only the clothes you need, make packed lunches and have two jobs. Otherwise, you are probably like most other Brits, a moaner. This is a footy forum so I'll stop there but man I would love to go into a rant about how this country is full of pirating thieves.
This aint the jeremy kyle show fella he asked a question i helped him out and FYI it isnt piracy if it is streamed from anthor nation hense why the pubs are doing it and they are staying within the law it is not the same has downloading a film.
BlueBen
end of the day were all chels help each other out way it should be. {Ed018's Note - Or all of you could live in the States like me and watch on Tv}
Cant afford chelsea tv for 5.99 a month on a free sat box but can afford to get either a computerwith roadband or a 3g phone to post on here though get a life stop getting on your high horse you aint robin hood
Thanks to the people to actually answered my question.
jono
And my point is proven. When in doubt, moan.
Um - and how much does a freesat box cost? a lot more than some folks have available.
Unless CTV is available on a TV with built in freeview (no idea if it is or isnt TBH) then it may not be an option. If it IS available on that means - then I guess its a fair comment.
Personally, Ive never felt the need for CTV (as the wife gives me enough stick watching Sky), but as I have to cut my Sky out (as Im buying a house) I have thought about it. Id pay more if prem matches were shown, but there not - so Im not sure its worth it TBH - fan or not.
11 Jul 2012 10:42:45
Hey Ed hows life treating ya fella ?
Sorry about the amount of questions but your the only relliable source evrything else to do with transfer on the net is 90% BS just tells you what you want to hear least with you might not be what you wanna here but it is what it is.
1) Should we go back in for Schurrle(i belive club had more negotiations with leverkusen last night ?) would that be it on the Hulk saga or does signing one have no implication on the other. ?
2)Afellay would is up for sale for a bargain price any intrest been shown towards him ?
3)The supposed offer for Oscar should we be expecting this to be delt with within a couple of days or is this likley to drag on ?
4)Does this mean we have given up on Moura ?
5)Anything new to report in terms of Cesear or any of the other names we were looking at for RB ?
Anyways hope all my Chelski Brethren are all good,hope you all have a good day Peace.
p.s thank you for taking the time Ed.
BlueBen {Ed002's Note - (1) It is best not to try and relate interest in one player with interest in another player. The situation with Hulk is taht there remains a difference between the valuations of the player put on him by the two clubs - so nothing is happening. Schurrle is a player who interests Chelsea and with Kalou, Drogba, Nic Anelka gone and the possibility of Sturridge and Malouda moving, would be an ideal option at the right price. (2) No. (3) Chelsea are awaiting evidence regarding ownership and this was promised for today - but there will still be work to do. It will probably not drag out. (4) The situation with Lucas Moura is complicated and it could drag out all summer and come to nothing. Chelsea made two bids earlier in the year and Inter also made abid. Real Madrid looked to a deal involving anoth player but that came to nothing. His agent would prefer a part ownership deal with Inter. Manchester United remain interested in the player but probably not at a price that is acceptable to Sao Paulo. (5) Chelsea would still like to strike a deal for Azpilicueta.}
I thought has much pal thanks for the conformation cheers again your time is appriciated i owe ya a drink lol
BlueBen
Blimey ED show some commitment to the replies will you.
p.s
I think you have provided more information in those answers than all the other so called sports news sites put together in a month.After all this madness is over for another pre season I think all who rely on you for our updates she send you the fatest cigar and bottle of finest champers our we can afford between us.
11 Jul 2012 10:38:36
There seems to be a lot of indifference towards Romeu some saying they wouldn't mind letting him go, when to me he was superb before his injury/illness seemed to get the ball moving forwards which was lacking in the Chelsea midfield for most of last season. Any thoughts?
Jim
Completely agree. He was one of our best performers in the first half of the season. Remember he started in the home win over Man City.
I think he is one of our most promising young players and it would be ridiculous if we let him go.
Badger
Wellif he has a buy back clause of less then 20 mil what is the point really its not like we really need him now is it Hazzard,Lampard,Ramires,Marin,Mata and maybe Hulk Schurrle and Oscar i dont think we will have much trouble getting the ball forward lol.
BlueBen
He has blatantly come out and said he would like to go back to barca this summer. Even if it means playing out of position as a CB. as far as im concerned he can go. he will never have blue blood like Super Frank and JT
scotty
I think he could play the Makelele role and hold DM on his own. Fantastic player, much under-rated.
Where does it say he wants to go back to barca? must have missed that, and i cant see any of those names except ramires and lampard playing infront of the back 4 to get the ball forward
If he wants to go let him, but if he doesn't we shouldn't sell he had a good start to the season, I personally think he is twice the player of Mikel.
I like the player and to be honest see him as the future as far as the holding midfield role is concerned! But, given the comments he's made, if he wants to go then let him! Plenty of good young holding players out there!
Surewould
Please name them Surewould
I'm shocked people are so even keel to let him go. In my opinion he was one of our 3 best players under avb. I think you have to realize he grew up with barca in his blood an that's the best club in the world at the moment if we're being honest with ourselves. With all that said if he wants to move then we should let him go but it will be a sad day if that happens.
Tk
11 Jul 2012 10:37:45
How is it we get knocked back a bid of £32mil for Moura yet Man U come in with a £20mil bid and its accepted (apparently). Seems dodgey to me that they seem to get cut deals all the time and we are held ransom. {Ed002's Note - Manchester United have not had a £20M bid accepted.}
Ive heard different, both clubs ready to negotiate terms and that is from a reliable source.
The initial transfer will be £20mill but the bonuses and image rights could total to about £35-£40mil payed over this and next season. {Ed002's Note - Twitter?}
Well for a start, any image rights form part of the contractual agreement between the club and the player. Why would Man Utd play any image rights money to Sao Paulo? The rumour makes no sense at all.
Why ask and waste Ed's time when you already know everything in the world, just want a chance to tell Ed he's wrong?
Check your facts, most things out there at the moment is BS. This is the time of the year when the media let loose!
The fee sao paulo want for lucas is around the same chelsea paid hazard but are willing to accept less from man utd.
samir :)
11 Jul 2012 10:27:48
Hey, was wondering if anyone knew when hazard and Marin are set to be unveild to the press as Chelsea players..? Anyone know? Thanks.
The thinking is when one more signs, all three will be paraded. If we wait for all transfers it will be the end of the season and will look like Roman's first spree as we are still in for a number of players that could all come off.
Ok sounds good, thanks. Loving the new players linked with the club, bring on the new season
Indeed, I didn't expect us to be quite this busy. Great to see.
11 Jul 2012 09:54:37
Hi Ed,
Was just wondering what the situation was regarding Pedro at Barca. Last season he seemed to have moved down the pecking order with them trying to bring Tello and Cuenca into the first team. IMO he is exactly what Chelsea should be looking for; and out and out winger. Would Barca consider selling him this summer? {Ed002's Note - Pedro will not be moving to Chelsea this summer.}
Aaah poo. id love that to happen
10 Jul 2012 21:47:51
Will Romeu feature much next season Ed ? {Ed002's Note - I am not sure what will happen with Romeu to be honest. When Di MAtteo took over Romeu was injured and then sick so he appeared little later in the year. He has said before that he wants to play regularly so a loan may be possible. A return to Barcelona if Chelsea make him available or he requests a transfer request would not be out of the question. I think we will know more as the summer moves on.}
11 Jul 2012 02:04:21
Hi Ed002,
I read your list of names that Chelsea have had some sort of contact with over the summer. One name that stood out to me in particular was Andre Schurrle. Are Chelsea still after him or have all talks broken down due to an unwillingness on Leverkusen's part?
Thanks {Ed002's Note - Chelsea have had an interest in Schurrle for a year and having lost Anelka, Drogba and Kalou, and with Malouda and Sturridge not certain on staying, are continiung to look to strengthen attacking options. An offer was made and rejected - although it was much less than reported. The club will likely go back with another offer but will not be held to ransom.}
11 Jul 2012 00:20:40
Any interest in Senad Lulic and Cristian Sapunaru ED? {Ed002's Note - Sapunaru would I think fall in to the same category as Maicon if he were bought. Lulic I don't know about.}
10 Jul 2012 22:25:33
Hi Ed's
Thsi is not a MOTD day fever after the euros, but do we have any interest in ''KUBA'' Blaszkowski from Dortmund. Having watched him for Dortmund he appears to have all the right attributes for the right side of our attack, good assists can score goals, fast, hardworking and knows how to track back.
He looks as if he has a good attitude and has experience of a league similar in style to the premiership.
For me a better option than HULK who I think although talented has a pre madona attitude and explosive temper. {Ed002's Note - Anyone who has asked about Blaszczykowski has been told that he is not for sale.}
11 Jul 2012 00:09:09
Ed are you confident Chelsea can meet the financial fair play rule with the money being talked about for potential new signings?
Jim {Ed018's Note - yes, and i wouldn' worry that much about the ffp rule all that much}
Why not it could mean no european football if you dont comply. {Ed002's Note - It is not something to worry about just yet.}
11 Jul 2012 00:01:13
Ed are Chelsea going to make an effort to increase the number if hone grown players
Cheers ed, your such a legend
Jm10 {Ed018's Note - Ed002 answered this earlier today}
Ah yes I see, sorry for that. Won't happen again
Jm10 {Ed018's Note - no worries}
11 Jul 2012 00:15:25
Does the interest in Oscar mean that Roman is probably looking too move on Frank? {Ed018's Note - very doubtful this year}
11 Jul 2012 00:09:03
Ed. I've always stayed out of the hulk talk but now it's all died down I was wondering of it was all paper talk or is there a genuine chance he will play for cfc? Thanks, James. {Ed018's Note - yes there is a chance yet}
