Hi Eds.

a) Do you know of any players, which are seriously being considered by the club, at the current time?

b) Are Chelsea looking to bring any players in before the Euros? -or will the club prefer to wait and see what happens with potential targets?

Thanks {Ed018's Note - both of these questions are discussed every single day.}

Believable0 Unbelievable0

What have you heard ed018? on hulk? {Ed018's Note - what Ed002 has said. it does sound like the deal will eventually go through though}

Agree0 Disagree0

Any other transfers regarding chelsea ED018 that you can think of? {Ed018's Note - nothing new that ive heard off latley}

Agree0 Disagree0

Chelsea not looking to step up the case? {Ed018's Note - im gonna say his mind is made up}

14 May 2012 20:28:28
Ed is their any way like the player-profiles website which i think is great to have a members area where you can post factual info? Also have comments disabled, im fed up of reading through 20 questions of the same bulls**t, when you've already answered the matter, HULK being the current prime example?

Thanks

What do you think chaps!

PR!

Believable15 Unbelievable11

Looks good expect meireles i think we should hold on to him i rate him in our midfield hes alot better than mikel n puts the work in every game

Carefree

Agree0 Disagree0

Rather have Lavezzi than Schrulle for 7m more and VDW then Azpil,Javi Martinez than Fernando and Lukaku and Sturridge should step up whilst allowing Torres being the main man might just get him to hit in bags of goals.

Agree0 Disagree0

Happiest man alive if that all happened

Agree0 Disagree0

And Meireles is a good backup to have.

Agree0 Disagree0

We don't need Schurrle and we don 't need Fernanod. Essien, Malouda, Drogba - we need them. They are fully experienced players with huge talent. And instead of Fernando I prefer Moutinho
Meireles OUT - Moutinho IN

Agree0 Disagree0

Malouda? where u been for 2 years
trout

Agree0 Disagree0

Agree with the poster but i like martinez holding. hu ever sd keep malouda essien ur a joke along with thm shd b kalou, mikel, bos,drog

Agree0 Disagree0

I put Fernando in there as he looks like he will be more likely of join and that he has a beastly tackler but I do agree that Javi Martinez would be the preference.

Also I really doubt Lavezzi is going to come to us.

PR!

Agree0 Disagree0

Bosingwa is out of contract in the summer, so we couldn't expect a fee for him.

Agree0 Disagree0

£13M for Essien we'd be so lucky. More like a couple of million at most to get him off the wage bill.

Heard Kagawa is not signing an extension and Dortmund are going to listen to offers. Any news on wether or not chelsea is going to bid for him??

Neo

Believable1 Unbelievable4

Mate use the search function. Ed answered this a couple of days ago. Although Kagawa is yet to sign an extension he is fully expected too.

Melbourne CFC

Agree0 Disagree0

While i appreciate ur suggestion, I was pointing out this question again cause the contracts talks have totally failed and its no longer a may-be situation. kagawa "is" going to leave, just a matter of where.

Neo {Ed002's Note - There is little question about where he will go.}

Ed 002

Are there any players under serious consideration that has of yet ' been unbeknownst' to this site and Chelsea fans in general?

I don't mean for you to divulge the details not would I like the trolls to start giving you a hard time, but sometimes it's nice to be surprised.

I would absolutely love hulk to join us. He would be perfect wide player who scores is quick skilful and powerful but it's same every year, always linked and someone has a sorce blah blah blah, can't see ur happening, he has 4yrs left on contract

Believable3 Unbelievable2

14 May 2012 15:49:00
Can someone please inform me what the latest is on Hulk?thanx

Believable3 Unbelievable3

For fear of Ed002 biting my face off, i am not sure as to what the current situation is but reports from Portugal a suggesting that a medical will take place once he returns from vacation.
on the other hand Ed002 said he has no interest in this report so take from that what you will.
i for one am quite excited by it and IF true it looks like we are looking to get our deals done quickly!

Agree0 Disagree0

HULK IS A CHELSEA PLAYER!

Agree0 Disagree0

Think this season+the city success gave Abramovic a scare..dont worry ed IS ALSO CRUEL TO ME AT TIMES {Ed002's Note - Only because you keep making a jerk of yourself.}

Agree0 Disagree0

Stop being so Harsh on Ed, trying her best to keep us updated with info then guys ask the same question about hulk like 5 times, when you could just scroll down at the initial question. {Ed002's Note - And we would appreciate it if folks started signing their posts please.}

Agree0 Disagree0

Is ED a girl?sorry ed..thanx for the info! {Ed002's Note - Maybe you will respect me now and stop being a jerk?}

Agree0 Disagree0

Still if Ed002 was nicer then it may encourage people to use the site more- is it n ot the Ed's job to answer our questions?
i have to answer the same questions on every job i do at work so no sympathy from here. anyway HULK!!!! {Ed002's Note - . I give up my time for nothing to keep this running and share information. You anonymously provide misinformation and then when corrected that Hulk had not signed you then grizzle on that he has and the type in caps that Hulk has become a Chelsea player. I have made it clear that you can keep folks up to date on Hulk as I have no interest in repeatedly being questioned by some glifnard like you. It is certainly not "my job" to answer your questions. You come back to anonymously bleat about me when all you can do is misinform the true supporters. And there is zero obligation on me to be polite.}

Agree0 Disagree0

Well if you had a sense of humor you would know that me typing HULK!!!! is just to wind you up as you obviously have a very short fuse.
anyway i posted twice in regards to Hulk, one was the report in which i stated "i know papers are not alway reliable" and the other was to ask if you had any news on it. I did not say anything about the deal other than what was in the report. By all means if you can show me where i missinformed anyone then please show me and i will apologise.
Then you were rude and accused me of misiforming so i put HULK IS A CHELSEA PLAYER!! to pee you off which clearly worked.
i assumed this was your job as you are on here a lot so apologies if that offended you. {Ed002's Note - Everything you wrote was misinformation - and this certainly isn't my job.}

Agree0 Disagree0

14 May 2012 15:43:35
Is Chelsea interested in Oscar Cardozo from Benfica? Personally think it would be a pointless signing especially for 20 million...Cheers {Ed002's Note - Zenit have made an approach to Benfica regarding Cardoza with Bruno Alves having spoken to the player informally regarding life in Russia.}

Believable1 Unbelievable1

14 May 2012 15:42:56
Ed002 a have a few questions for you if chelsea were willing to sell Luiz to Barcelona then surely his price would be around 35 or 40 million a similiar price to thiago silva? Also is there any truth that chelsea may use Torres in a deal for Falcao? {Ed002's Note - The price that Chelsea would want for Luiz is irrelevant, I don't see that it would make a difference. IF Torres tells the club that he wants to move on I am sure no one would stand in his way. IF Atletico wanted him back I am sure a deal could be done. IF Atletico were to agree to sell or part exchange Falcao then that might be an approach that could be taken IF Falcao wanted to join Chelsea and IF Chelsea and Atletico could agree the valuation of Falcao AND Torres.}

Believable0 Unbelievable3

IF Torres Ed002 i'll buy him for 20k

Agree0 Disagree0

14 May 2012 15:10:21
The david luiz to Barcelona rumour is gathering pace. Personally I think he is a back up to thiago of ac Milan if that transfer doesn't come off . I hope he stays I like him. Spready.

Believable1 Unbelievable6

Yes me 2 m8, david is quality. i think ivanovic will leave if madrid come knocking. cant have 2 leaving. need mre concentration on sorting out transfers of wingers and midfield. BLUEBOY1

Agree0 Disagree0

David Luiz won't be leaving Chelsea, do don't worry! He is seen as Chelsea's future number 1 centre back. If Barcelona come knocking they'll be told to do one.

Agree0 Disagree0

14 May 2012 15:01:45
Hey ED,

Yep so Hulk's agent has just said - "Hulk is but one foot in Chelsea.
Agreement shall be final only when
the player back from vacation".

Do you expect negotiations to conclude quickly? Or will this be dragged out like the Gary Cahill transfer?


Thanks ED!!

Samir {Ed002's Note - There are no expectations for this - it would be simply guess work.}

Believable4 Unbelievable2

See! told ya there was some pace gathering Ed002 :P {Ed002's Note - Actually you told us he had agreed to a move. I have no time for all of this BS I am afraid.}

Agree0 Disagree0

Brilliant news

Agree0 Disagree0

Ed do you think this is to get other clubs negotiating {Ed002's Note - I have explained the situation with Hulk and have nothing more to say on the matter. The truth seems to be of little interest.}

Agree0 Disagree0

Ok so as a chelsea fan i am a little excited by the prospect of him coming to Chelsea, all i did was provide some information that may have been useful to you or other fans.
I didn't state anything, just posted a report and asked if there could be any truth in it.
did someone steal the jam from your doughnut or something?

Agree0 Disagree0

14 May 2012 14:18:04
We should stop making 2 many big money signings and make more sensible signings that are still quality players like:

My INNS:Marin(8mil)
Krasic(15mil)
Joao Mountinho(20mil)
VDW(10mil)
Lewandowski(20mil)

Instead of: Lavezzi(35mil),Cavani(45mil),Hulk(85mil),Hazard(40mil),Higuain(35mil),Azpil.(20mil,for a RB!!)

I would say we can make the Lucas Moura signing for our one big signing because he's still young and will repay his estimated worth of (40mil) its just unecessary spending that much on players if we can also get quality for much less while they are younger and can be improved..cmon guys we don't want to be like Man City!We are a club not just a business .Letts have players that actually want to play for best club in the world.Cmon Chelsea!!! {Ed002's Note - What about your Demba Ba BS?}

Believable1 Unbelievable4

Yeah i will add him in there aswell!

Agree0 Disagree0

VDW wanted to play for valencia over us so how does he wanna play for us? BLUEBOY1

Agree0 Disagree0

Oh god, some people still beleive that Hulk will be sold somewhere near his clause-thingie, get real.

Agree0 Disagree0

14 May 2012 13:59:54
ED last year this time after Demba BA's loan spell at West Ham i made a suggestion that we should sign Demba Ba as a back-up and you rubished it by saying that he isn't good enough now Chelsea are linked with him like 2 say i told you so... {Ed002's Note - Twitter I suppose.}

Believable2 Unbelievable1

We have lukaku feruz bamford sturridge

Agree0 Disagree0

Why would we sign Ba to sit on the bench? Is he better than Torres - no. Is he better than Drogba - no. Hulk - no. Falcao - no. If we sign Ba we are accepting we are a 'fighting for 4th place' side.

Agree0 Disagree0

14 May 2012 13:41:18
hi ed what do you actually know about the hulk rumours {Ed002's Note - I know nothing of what these rumours say - Twitter perhaps. What I know is what I have said about talks and no agreement.}

Believable1 Unbelievable1

14 May 2012 15:19:19
Not twitter, a Portugese newspaper, Desporto.

desporto.sapo.pt/futebol/primeira_liga/artigo/2012/05/13/hulk_tem_acordo_com_o_chelsea.html

Reporting that a deal has already been agreed and will be completed after Hulk has had a vacation.

Not saying that I believe it, just giving you the source where these "rumours" are coming from.

Ed ive just seen malouda has now joined the injury list who of the eligable players for champions league are injured?
Cahill,luiz and malouda is that it? With them 3 injured and 4 banned we r in a whole heap of trouble lets hope there fit in time any updates on them? Thanks

Carefree {Ed002's Note - And Mikel. There will be no updates today - the team played yesterday.}

Believable0 Unbelievable2

14 May 2012 12:22:38
Ed 002 Do we have any serious interest in any midfield players currently?
I am thinking more in the Essien/Lamps mould.
Is Mereilles still wanting to leave?
Thanks {Ed002's Note - Mereilles may well be leaving. I cannot categorise the players Chelsea have an interest in by comparison to others. Sorry.}

Believable0 Unbelievable1

OK thanks.In that case are we interested in any midfield players ?
Most rumours seem to be about strikers/rb from what I have seen. {Ed002's Note - I rather think midfield options are still being considered Marin has been signed, much is expected of Romeu and Piazon etc..}

Agree0 Disagree0

14 May 2012 11:08:32
hi eds, is there any more news on Chelsea's reported interest in Lucas Moura, Neymar or Hulk?
I have heard that Chelsea have had a bid for Hulk accepted from a section of the Portugese press is there any truth in this and if so is there any indication as to how much? Thanks

James {Ed002's Note - No, there is no news.}

Hi Ed, this one might be a bit out of the blue but do we have an interest in Kroos? I read somewhere that Bayern may be looking to sell some players to make room for new players, do you know if there is any truth in this? {Ed002's Note - Whilst Bayern may be looking to sell players Kroos is not one of them.}

Believable0 Unbelievable3

14 May 2012 06:38:57
Hey Ed,
Do you know how the club sees Sam Hutchinson's future at the club, long term? Could he play in the Champions League final if either Cahill or Luiz can't get fit in time.

Also, do you think any more deals will go through before Euro 2012, considering that clubs don't want to face inflated prices after Euro 2012. {Ed002's Note - Hutchinson's future as a squad member is entirely dependent on his fitness. It is possible that he could end up playing if Cahill or Luiz can't get fit in time and the team have been trying various options during practice. It is difficult to say when transfers will actually complete - the transfer of Cahill is one that dragges out.}

Believable2 Unbelievable2

14 May 2012 06:35:41
I for one will be gutted if Robbie doesn't get the job, a couple of weeks ago everyone was siging his praises and he could do no wrong. Since then his rested players for the final resulting in us having a poor run in. If we don't stick to a manager and give them time we will continue to have the same problem year in year out. Look at man u with fergie, he required time, Harry at spurs is the same, Mancini at city also, this lost is endless. Next week is one of the biggest games in the clubs history and everyone is writing the team off already. Very proud supporters indeed!

Dan J

Believable3 Unbelievable2

Could not agree more, RDM had a tough descision to make regards going for fourth or risk losing more players for the final to an already depleted team, I would have done exactly the same thing he has done.
Regards giving him the job he has turned our season around, yes we did not get fourth and if we are honest he was given the job several weeks to late to do a great deal about that as the damage had been done, nobody belived before he took over we would win anything let alone be in the final of the biggest cup in club football.
The guy clearly loves Chelsea and has the clubs best interest at heart, lets give him another season and if it does not work out we can change things, we do need to stick with someone and get some stabillity at the club.
I can see us getting some "big name" and then dumping them halfway through the season as its not working out.

Agree0 Disagree0

Thats not entirly true i dont think youll find the fans lack faith in his ability to manage players but in all fairness he hasnt really implicated that much change the pints gatheredin the league was only 1better then AVB and he hasnt changed the squad problem he just brought back the old guard and even though the cup sucess is fantastic and he got the old boys playing again, reailty is we need to rebuild a team for the next decade and while it would appear he is a capable man manger he has no expirence in buying and selling players at this sort of level he may do very well he may not but you can only make your decision buy the merits you see in front of you so while i do back RDM i just dont feel as though it is the right timming is right for him or chelsea for him to take the role.
