well done gourlay saying to asia media there would b 3 new signings on tour
were so rubbish at transfers {Ed018's Note - maybe 1 but yea it doesnt seem like 3 is gonna happen by then}

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Can you tell us who this player may be? or at least give us some clues please? {Ed018's Note - i'm hoping that they can get the modric saga over by then but its doubtful. just wishful thinking or hoping}

Agree0 Disagree0

Ah ok. I really hope we get Modric wrapped up soon, although I can't see it happening while Tottenham are out in SA. {Ed018's Note -yea probably not gonna happen. iim just trying to be hopeful}

Agree0 Disagree0

Ya dont see him joining till end of month and on

Agree0 Disagree0

14 Jul 2011 19:58:17
does Falcao signing a new contract and now clause has risen end chelsea's interest in the player? {Ed018's Note - yea, i cant see chelsea paying 45 million for him}

Believable2 Unbelievable0

14 Jul 2011 19:12:30
ED, do you think will should go for some Brazilian attackers, such as, Pato, Neymar, Fred? {Ed018's Note - cmon, chelsea have been making attempts to sign neymar for a good year now, theres no interest in pato or fred}

Believable0 Unbelievable0

I'm a fan of pato but even I know his not coming

Agree0 Disagree0

14 Jul 2011 17:52:53
Do you think it is possible we can come up with a financial package acceptable to Aguero and his advisors Ed?thanks {Ed018's Note - its possible but it'll be alot more than chelsea would like to pay him

Believable0 Unbelievable0

But hes always said he would want to come to us {Ed018's Note - then he would probably need to take a bit of a pay cut}

Agree0 Disagree0

14 Jul 2011 17:24:34
It seems to me like we are taking huge gambles on players like pastore and neymar, would rather see us spend money on fabregas(45m)aguero(40m).but saying that I would just like to see some new faces asap for them to adapt to our play.we do the same every year waiting until the last minute and then expecting miracles from the player straight away instead of giving the new players a few pre season games to bed in.don't really want to see drogba, lampard go but they only have one season left in them, so if we can use them as bargain chips then I think we should.drogba +20m for Modric.At least he has come out and said he wants to play for Chelsea, everybody else wants other moves.I also think a good player would be Douglas costa as a replacement for essien

Believable1 Unbelievable1

14 Jul 2011 17:23:20
ED, do you think chelsea should push for Turan? {Ed002's Note - He was offered up as part of a deal where Drogba and cash would be given to Gala. He would be a good addition to the squad.}

Believable3 Unbelievable1

Has this offer been rejected? {Ed018's Note - yea, that was an offer from a while ago

Agree0 Disagree0

14 Jul 2011 17:21:02
I really like Sergio Aguero, and he wll be the greatest add to the squad. We have been chasing him for a long time (I remember those amazing goals that he scored us in the Estadio Calderon in 09/10 UCL), but he will go to City as they will probably loose Tevez.
Pastore will stay in Italy. I dont really know a lot about this guy, but all what I heard or read from him is that he is an amazing player, plus he is young. He would be the perfect add to the squad, but as I said.. he will stay in Italy.
So who remains? Chelsea has not shown interest in one of my favs player around all the world: Eden hazard. Even if we get Modric, pretty decent player, we still need a world class guy upfront who can supply our strikers. Aguero can play as linker btwn midfield and striker. He can play also as winger. Same than hazard.
But, what other options do we have?

Believable2 Unbelievable1

14 Jul 2011 16:58:34
Ed i noticed an earlier post in which you hoped Modric would not come or that ManU would make a bid instead, can you please explain why as i cant find where you have already stated why youdont want him, I understand its your personal opinion but im just curious as to why

Can anyone explain why were after the likes of De Maria Falcao and Rolando, and not making sure were getting a few between Neymar Aguero Sanchez Sneijder Pastore, apparently EPL is the best in the world but yet between the top 4 maybe 5 there is not even any supersars or up incoming talent.

The frusration is becoming un fu***n bearable {Ed002's Note - Modric is way overpriced for what is a decent player. I don't perhaps see him as a game changing player.}

Believable0 Unbelievable1

I agee, modric is currently at a club, that his talent deserves. Spurs are a just an above average side, just like modric. He is not good enough for our side.

Agree0 Disagree0

I agree, we are dragging it on abit arent we.

Agree0 Disagree0

14 Jul 2011 16:51:36
If Tottenham do accept player+ cash for Modric, apparently Chelsea would be willing to give tem eith Alex, Mikel or Sturridge. The obvious choice would be Sturridge, but who do you think Ed?

By the way, I am completely against this idea and hopefully Chelsea do not even suggest doing this. IF we do get Modric for a player, I would hope it is Mikel, then I wouldn't really mind. {Ed002's Note - I have no interest in speculating on such matters, sorry.}

Believable2 Unbelievable0

I think sturridge should stay he has talent but people can't see it

Agree0 Disagree0

14 Jul 2011 16:42:17
ed i personally think well get
aguero
lukaku-maybe loan out
di maria
de bruyne-loan out
modric
fernando
rb?
courtois-loan out

ed any of them u agree with or could happen {Ed002's Note - There is clearly interest in many of them.}

Believable1 Unbelievable3

14 Jul 2011 16:38:23
ed reports saying we bid 15 mill for lukaku weeks ago but anderlecht want to replace him first {Ed002's Note - Chelsea told Anderlecht the maximum they would pay for Lukaku which was far below their 30M euros valuation.}

Believable0 Unbelievable2

14 Jul 2011 16:33:18
Ed surely chelsea wouldn't let sturridge go he already said he wants first team play at chelsea and if he doesn't get it he is going else were he is to good to not start in my opinion.... {Ed002's Note - I don't suppose he will be going to Liverpool."

Believable0 Unbelievable0

14 Jul 2011 16:30:29
Hopefully Aguero and Pastore are on there way to Chelsea would be great to see the Argentinean style of football at Chelsea, all we need now is Tevez and Messi ;) Haha

Believable5 Unbelievable2

14 Jul 2011 16:28:29
ed is it true that sturridge is on the verge of signing with Liverpool {Ed002's Note - No.}

Believable1 Unbelievable1

14 Jul 2011 15:21:19
Have Chelsea's contingent in Colorado regrouped after discussing strategy over the weekend and have they gone back to South America Ed?thanks {Ed002's Note - One has gone to Los Angeles and the other returned to Argentina on Tuesday.}

Believable0 Unbelievable1

Has he gone to Los Angeles to discuss Di Maria with Real Madrid? As I do believe they are playing LA Galaxy there soon?

Or is it just a coincidence? {Ed002's Note - For an answer to that you need to wait until the weekend.}

Agree0 Disagree0

I've just checked and Madrid do play Galaxy this Saturday. What is it that we need to wait for? To see if Di Maria plays? {Ed018's Note - Di Maria is in Argentina for the Copa America}

Agree0 Disagree0

So what is it that we need to wait for?

I would love Di Maria at Chelsea, he is a great player. {Ed018's Note - Doesnt mean there wont be discussions and i agree, i'd love to see him playing left wing for us}

Agree0 Disagree0

Ah ok, thank you. I will be keeping my fingers crossed that this one comes off.

Agree0 Disagree0

Are newcastle not in america?

Agree0 Disagree0

14 Jul 2011 14:40:55
big rumours here in newcastle that tiote is off to chelski. makes sense with essien out as he's the next best thing in the premier league (in terms of playing styles). hope its not true myself but it would be a very good addition for chelsea. peace.

Believable4 Unbelievable4

14 Jul 2011 14:28:06
Ed002, why dont you want modric at chelsea? cause he is overpriced? or do you just personally preffer some of our other targets instead of him? {Ed002's Note - I explained that already.}

Believable1 Unbelievable2

I honestly have to ssy modric wouldnt be worth the money
hes young, lamps hasnt got all the time left in the world.. he would be a brilliant signing.. who else out there would be a good addition to the midfield of a top prem club and one who has previous prem experience? None... i think your mad for not wanting him

Agree0 Disagree0

14 Jul 2011 12:47:59
I have heard that Redknapp and Levy have accepted that they will have to allow Modric to leave but they are wanting 30 million and Sturridge. Surely that is too much Ed? {Ed002's Note - Yes - unless it is a loan of Sturridge. Hoepfully Manchester United or someone else will step in with a bid for Modric.}

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Why do you hope that ed? {Ed002's Note - He is too expensive for what I see as a decent player only.}

Agree0 Disagree0

Ed002, I know you are not a big fan of Modric, just like I am not a big fan of Sneijder. Do you think United will make a move for Modric, or do you believe Sneijder is OT bound?

Sydney! {Ed002's Note - I suspect Sneijder is OT bound - or will end up there. But I see no reason why MU should not bid for Modric to ease my pain. And I will answer your question about "packages" when I get my head together - I have been on a plane all night and am not 100% with it today.}

Agree0 Disagree0

Thanks Ed, appreciate that. I understand that Nike could pay a part of his wage through sponsorship endorsement? Chat about it in a couple days mate.

Sydney! {Ed002's Note - Sure.}

Agree0 Disagree0

Modric is a top class player

Agree0 Disagree0

I agree with Ed002, I think Modric is over priced and over rated. Getting 2 quality wingers with pace should be our top priority.

Agree0 Disagree0

14 Jul 2011 12:45:57
Agree with Ed. There is going to be a twist in the tranfer saga. Imagine this: Real need one more striker. Say they get Neymar. Then, this leaves Tevez and Aguero available for MC and CFC?
Now say they get Tevez. This leaves Neymar and Aguero. Ok Neymar may decide to stay in Brazil but then MC and MU must fight for Aguero. But MC will not move for Aguero while Tevez's situation is undecided. What a saga

Believable2 Unbelievable0

Then CFC and MU would battle for Aguero and chelsea would be more likely to get him as United have signed Ashley young?

Agree0 Disagree0

14 Jul 2011 12:27:45
ED, I've noticed a lot of people involving VDW in their chelsea teams, but does chelsea have an intention of signing him? {Ed002's Note - He has been a long term target of the club and now we are seeing interest from Inter as well - I guess signally Davide Santon as moving on. It is possible that AVB will not be keen on signing him. Earlier in teh summer Chelsea made an approach to Ajax to take both VDW and Eriksen. Chelsea must already have know that Eriksen would be most reluctant to move to Chelsea so it did, on the surface, appear to be an odd thing to do.}

Believable0 Unbelievable0

14 Jul 2011 10:47:55
Perhaps Barca might not get Sanchez, apparently Chelsea have had contact as Udinese want more than 26m euros. Any truth in it Ed? {Ed002's Note - I would not expect to see Alexis Sanchez at Chelsea this summer.}

Believable2 Unbelievable4

Sometimes you just have to have hope. Pretty much all we (the fans) can do. {Ed002's Note - We new from the very sart that the potential transfers of Pastore, Aguero, Sanchez and Neymar would be a problem for whichever clubs get involved and drag on all summer. Nothing should be a shock.}

Agree0 Disagree0

But is there a very slim possibility? {Ed002's Note - OF course there is. But I made it clear back in May that the transfers of Pastore and Sanchez would turn in to the saga's of the summer. Now we have Tevez in the mix there may well be a twist or turn to come.}

Agree0 Disagree0

14 Jul 2011 10:30:20
Are chelsea still interested in Falcao? {Ed002's Note - Yes.}

Believable6 Unbelievable1

So why aren't we signing him. I remember your comments on a first team guarantees. We can't meet them. Their stance doesn't change, so what's the point in being "interested"? {Ed002's Note - He is still in Argentina and it is in the hands of his agent. Porto want him to sign an improved contract. These things can take time.}

Agree0 Disagree0

Y wud we b interested in a player who signed a new contract 2 days ago {Ed002's Note - You have replied to an old post.}

Agree0 Disagree0

14 Jul 2011 10:29:49
Are we still likely to get Lukaku ed? {Ed002's Note - Nothing has changed - Cheslea are interested at the right price. 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. That is where we stand.}

Believable3 Unbelievable0

14 Jul 2011 10:29:24
ED, Do you think chelsea should buy a CM or just give McEachran some much needed playing time? {Ed002's Note - McEachran is not yet ready for week-in/week-out first team football at teh highest level. He could still go on loan.}

Believable4 Unbelievable0

14 Jul 2011 10:24:37
ED do you think we should start thinking about a player such as Pato? He very quick and is a good creative player. {Ed002's Note - Pato is not a target right now I am afraid.}

Believable3 Unbelievable0

14 Jul 2011 09:40:40
Dear ed,
Wats the status regarding Daniel De Rossi?or tiote n Parker are our primary targets? {Ed002's Note - Chelsea have an interest in De Rossi but Roma are trying to put a new deal together for him. No idea about Tiote or Parker. Fernando is a firm midfield target but Porto will not want to sell him.}

Believable4 Unbelievable0

I thought porto has a release clause on all their players, does anyone know what fernando's might be

Agree0 Disagree0

14 Jul 2011 09:08:40
Ed, is any bid for Di maria, likely to be dependent on what happens with Neymar? I.e no chance of both?

I know chances of Neymar to chelsea are very slim now, but recent articles make it seem he might not join madrid.

So i guess my question is, is Di maria only on the cards if Neymar ends up @ madrid? {Ed002's Note - Nobody knows what will happen to Neymar. I doubt he will be moving to Real Madrid this summer - but again much will depend on what happens regarding Carlos Tevez. Santos are adament that he is staying but know they cannot afford to keep him and Ganso without significant sponsorship. We knew from months ago that the world Club Championship was also likely to be an issue. Barcelona do not have the cash to facilitate a transfer this year. Chelsea are biding their time at present but are likely to accept paying now with a transfer in January - if a deal can be struck without too many issues.}

Believable1 Unbelievable1

14 Jul 2011 08:01:12
Dear ed,
Can u enlighten us about the current situation regarding the following player:-
1) Angel Di Maria
2) Samir Nasri
3) Luka Modric
4) Gary Cahill
thanks
BW {Ed002's Note - Chelsea have been interested Di Maria for some time and, at the right price, a formal approach could be made. Chelsea have no interest in Nasri. Modric seems to be coming to a head with the player requesting a transfer request - I don't know of any details. I don't know of any interest in Cahill but Rolando and, possibly still, Subotic remain targets. Much will depend on what happens over Rolando I suspect.}

Believable1 Unbelievable1

14 Jul 2011 02:22:50
are the scott parker rumours based on any truth whatsoever? i'd love to see him back at the bridge. he's an end to end midfielder but could definitely play in the makalele position to allow players like lamps and hopefully modric to attack? {Ed018's Note - it seems like there is some truth to them. west ham would like to loan him out as opposed to selling him allowing them to see if they can make it back to the premier league. but chelsea may not be able to gurantee 1st team football, it could make it difficult for the move to happen and teams like spurs, everton may look at parker as a good player for their teams}

Believable1 Unbelievable0

I hope not, parker over achieved last year, i dont want him back

Agree0 Disagree0

14 Jul 2011 00:39:42
ed18- when you say you hope we try get a winger after the Modric transfer saga, do we not have enough people capable of agreeing a deal to do more than one at a time, or does roman do all deals himself {Ed018's Note - it just makes sense to wrap up one deal before closing another, that doesnt mean work isnt being done for other targets}

Believable0 Unbelievable0

14 Jul 2011 00:25:30
ED018 just incase you dont know Modric has handed in a transfer request earliar this evening {Ed018's Note - yes, i just got word on that as well}

Believable0 Unbelievable0

14 Jul 2011 00:10:25
ED, do you think Chelsea should consider offering Anelka, Malouda and some cash to Atletico in exchange for Aguero? {Ed018's Note - Yea i would do that. but does chelsea or atletico want that, thats what matters}

Believable3 Unbelievable0

Athletico are interested in Alex too, surely Alex & Kalou plus cash would be a great deal for us

Agree0 Disagree0

14 Jul 2011 00:09:14
Do you think Chelsea should just give Yossi Benayoun a chance as our Creative midfielder ED? He's been looking good in training from what I've seen. {Ed018's Note - i think benayoun will get playing time this year, i dont expect him to start often but he will be good coming off the bench}

Believable3 Unbelievable1

Scored a beast of a goal yesterday {Ed018's Note - yea it was nice, maybe a bit lucky}

Agree0 Disagree0

But it was only against a league 1 team :/

Agree0 Disagree0

14 Jul 2011 00:04:26
Is it true we are considering Chiek Tiote ED? Thanks {Ed018's Note -newcastle have denied that there have been any enquiries for tiote from chelsea}

Believable2 Unbelievable1
