Hi Ed002, first of all thanks for keeping us updated - your efforts are appreciated. Do you think Chelsea will bid for Veratti? I read he wants to leave PSG this summer but probably to Juventus any truth?

{Ed002's Note - The club are interested but the player is keen on a move elsewhere.}

I'd hope we at least try a big bid for him, Conte and good wages could make him change his mind.

Ed 002 - Do you see Barcelona making this transfer happen given their wage problems under ffp or still Chelsea has an edge concerning wage issue?

I feel like Bakayoko is our main target (which i'm not happy about) so would love to hear of any other feasible options which i could get my hopes up about? Also pretty keen for Moses.

Don't think any of us are mate but I fully believe in Conte. Rumour has it we're going to go 3-5-2 next year with Bakayoko, Kante and Chalobah in midfield to win the ball back after Lukaku's dreadful first touch.

SFL. Everyone knows lukaku got poor first touch, however i hope conte can improve it.
Do not forget Lukaku is really good in front of goal.
Scoring 26 goals for team like everton, where creativity is not upto CFC level is a great achievement.
I also believe with coach like conte and players like hazard, cesc, pedro etc Lukaku will do better for us if join back.

if his touch will improve with hazard cesc and pedro, how come it hasn't improved with hazard, de bruyne and Nainggolan?

Cat, because he doesn't play with them week in week out. Just like England team mate. If they all play together at club level, there is more of an understanding. You don't just expect to throw together 11 players and expect them to gel straight away. If they played consistently every week together you'd see more of a link up play between them all. Look at Fabregas and Costa.

i know the difference between international and club level, my point is his touch will not improve playing with better players at his age, end of next season he is 25 years old, he has played enough games at international level though, he went to a world cup for 4 weeks plus a 4 week training camp before and still no better touch, we shouldn't pretend he's something he isnt, he's a big powerful target man, he don't have a good touch or great link up, he don't have great mobility or work rate, let's just accept what his strength is, and stop pretending or hoping that he becomes something he clearly is't.

Hey lads, I know a good friend of Bakayoko, anyone that has been on here as long as I have knows I don't do stuff like this for fun so obviously I'm being serious, he gave me some info but I don't think it's my place to go into detail but what I can say is that the deal should go through soon enough; i know it's not saying much but from what he says Bakayoko would be a blue. Have a good weekend guys.

We've got our very own insider blue! ;-) I trust you to not just post random BS, ELI. Indeed you've been on here for a long time.
I hope you're right, and I think we're lucky that Bakayoko wants to join us.
