Are Al ain looking to sign Mikel?

Believable2 Unbelievable1

{Ed002's Note - John Obi will be available in the summer with interest from Al Ain and Monaco. The interest of Inter has moved on and I suspect that the interest of Napoli will left with Benitez. Real Madrid has spoken with his agent but not with Chelsea. Al Ain have made a very good offer to the player and I expect a move can be agreed with Chelsea.}

How can you say "finally he's leaving". He's been a tremendous player for the club and was instrumental to us winning the champions league.

Agree0 Disagree0

no way he was a 'tremendous' player bro all he could do is stay around a certain area and either pass it sideways or backwards. he's tracking and tackling is awful. yes he has had the odd good game (cl final for example) but he's very INCONSISTENT. people say here that he never complained being a backup etc well my view to that is that obviously he wouldn't complain knowing that he's rubbish while he's simply tagging along with the team getting good money and receiving trophy medals. who the hell would complain lol?

He may not be the most glamorous player we've ever had but he is certainly one of the most disciplined, which is equally as important. I think that when he leaves (if indeed he does) we'll certainly notice. Great servant for the club!

There are not many other players that can fill the role he has over the last 9 years. He has always been there when he needed him, not many other players could fill his role.

Eds do you know if the club will be applying for a work permit for Bertrand traore and if so would he qualify. Lastly has falcao completed a medical prior to his possible move to chelsea

Believable0 Unbelievable1

{Ed002's Note - (1) I don't know. (2) I know nothing of the medical but there were meetings in London yesterday and again today to resolve the two open issues.}

14 Jun 2015 21:50:22
Apparently he now qualifies for a work permit under the old rules. But if the new rules are implemented then it will be difficult. So hopefully Chelsea act fast and get him that permit. Traore would IMO solve the need for extra attacking midfield/winger depth.

Medical for Falcao who is in Copa America competition? No way! Watched Colombia match against Venezuela and none of the Colombia star players performed up as expected. Venezuela made Falcao and Cudrado looked ordinary. However, it does not mean they wouldn't do well at Chelsea. For instance, Costa didn't do well for Spain in the World Cup but did well for Chelsea. However, unless the pay cut for Falcao is real, 265k wages per week is too much IMO.

Agree1 Disagree0

{Ed002's Note - Medicals can be arranged anywhere in the world.}

Thanks for shedding light on that Ed. I have said that considering Falcao said he would not be bothered while the competition is on and the Colombia coach had said similar thing.

Agree0 Disagree0

Falcao deal is done. Now onto the next one.

Hi ED

Are you Chelsea still interested in Imbula?

Thanks

Believable0 Unbelievable0

{Ed002's Note - Recent discussions with a representative Marseille surrounded other players and further talk of a possible link between the clubs. She tells me there was no mention of Imbula. There is interest in him from elsewhere and Marseille are willing to sell - if Chelsea wish to rekindle interest it would need to be soon - and their focus is elsewhere right now. So not totally out of the question.}

14 Jun 2015 16:16:51
Damn, I'd much rather the club go after Imbula than Allan (who seems to be the target right now. The last player we bought from Marseille turned out to be a huge player, and I'm not even talking about Drogba :-)

Agree0 Disagree0

14 Jun 2015 17:00:28
Yeah agree I like the look of Imbula

Agree0 Disagree0

Yes I think he would a fantastic purchase. Rotate and play with Matic.
