Ed reports again that were in for diawara
Any truth
Thanks.

Believable1 Unbelievable1

{Ed002's Note - Bologna's Amadou Diawara came close but did not move to Chelsea in January but Chelsea do, like Napoli, Roma, Juventus and Manchester City, maintain an interest in the player and may move to agree a summer move in the coming weeks. Spurs, Sevilla, Marseille, PSG, Valencia and Fiorentina have also had the player watched this season and one or more may look to making an offer. Bologna has met with Romawho want an exchange and loan against a sale of Diawara whilst Bologne want cash.}

He could be an interesting acquisition. Still very young but I've read great things about him. If he's not overly expensive I wouldn't mind him joining, as we seem to be a little light in central midfield.
However, I'd like it even better if Chalobah finally got a chance in the 1st team. Physically he looks much developed after his year in Italy and there's no doubting his natural talent.

Out of contract John Swift joins Reading signing a 3 year deal. Was with Chelsea for 9 years.

I think we will come to regret selling John Swift.

He will be a Premier League player in 3 years, with Reading or someone else. Good talent.

Massive shame, was always a fan looks like he has the right mentality to make it to the top.

Barbosa is on his way to Chelsea! Wonder if he first team class.

Hope he joins. Looks good. Would be good to get in him and around the first team squad, maybe get him a loan next season once he's settled perhaps?

Not keen on pinkys direct " he's coming" statement I hope he does along with Kante but I'm very superstitious that if we get ahead of ourselves it won't happen. So sitting fingers crossed for barbosa, Kante, jou mario, koulabally and a striker. Probably asking a bit much but you can hope.

Agree0 Disagree3

{Ed002's Note - And of course Felipe Anderson. And perhaps another goalkeeper.}

Oh ed you tease!

Ed teasing us like a £20 stripper.

Barbosa AND a striker 7052andrew? with Michy, Costa and Traore already? (Presuming Remy will leave) . Don't think we need that many.

Agree0 Disagree1

14 Jul 2016 15:03:25
Oh pinky, you're getting us all excited. It's the hope that kills us. :-P.

Agree0 Disagree1

14 Jul 2016 16:06:53
And Andrew, I think you might be hoping for a bit too much there. Mario, Barbosa, Koulibaly, Kante. I can't see all of those happening.
A CM and a top CB and I'd be happy already. Barbosa probably won't join Chelsea, and I hope the club steer clear of Felipe Anderson. He performed worse than Salah in the same league.

Agree0 Disagree1

{Ed002's Note - I am sure the club will listen to your advice.}

14 Jul 2016 16:14:32
Joao Mario does not look great at all, if we're going to play a midfield 3 then where would he fit in? He wouldn't even get on the bench, especially the price of him. As for Koulibaly, is he really premier league class, I would rather spend a bit more for an experienced defender like Bonucci and also bring back Christensen. With Terry, Bonucci, Zouma, Ivanovic and Christensen playing for the three spots at the back.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed002's Note - Bonucci is not an option. Christensen won't be at Chelsea next season.}

14 Jul 2016 18:37:46
Mickydavies, when I said a striker that's on the assumption that Costa will leave this window. And yes it was wishful with list of names. But imo we need CB, cm, and a striker.
But no doubt we will see in time.
Just as an aside I thought conte did well in his press conference.

Agree0 Disagree0

14 Jul 2016 16:47:46
Hi Ed, when you say Christensen won't be at CFC next season - do you mean 16/ 17 or 17/ 18?

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed002's Note - The coming season.}

14 Jul 2016 21:35:41
Hahaha Ed, simply my uneducated opinion of course ;-) the club employs people that know a whole lot more of football than I do, so I'm not too worried.
I'm just not a big Anderson fan myself, and I'm trying not to hope for Barbosa as I don't want to be sad when he then doesn't join. Rather be a little less optimistic and then pleasantly surprised if he does join us.
