Hello eds
I was wondering who chelsea were prioritising between pedro and griezmann. I was also curious to know which one of these two you thought was more likely to be brought to the club
Great work on the page and thanks in advance

{Ed018's Note - I haven't heard anything recently about Griezmann and there's been plenty of talk about Pedro recently so it seems that's were they are trying at the moment}

Good Evening Ed018. Several sources are reporting a Chelsea interest in Alex Witsel. Are you able to share whether Chelsea are interested at all?

Thanks Steve

{Ed018's Note - I really don't know right now. I was under the impression that Aranguiz would be coming in so I wouldn't see why they'd be interested in Witsel unless something changed}

Thanks for the prompt reply. Your time and the great work you do on here is appreciated!

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed018's Note - thanks. Appreciate it. I've never claimed to have all the info Ed002 has but I've tried to help where I can and get involved in the discussions as much as I can}

As I understand it Ed18 is right and Aranguiz is our target but this may still depend on Mikel leaving. The odds on Witsel joining though have dropped which means a pound or so has been placed on him joining us and not moving to Serie A as was expected.

Ed18 don't be so sensitive mate, haters going to hate, just ignore them.

Agree1 Disagree0

{Ed002's Note - I am just going to butt in a little hear - folks need to ease off on Ed018 who is taking time out of his busy life (with a recent family addition) to help you out. He is putting a great deal in to trying to help out - mainly because I have no interest in doing so because of the abuse. Make the most of it.}

The abuse issue seems to come up every season, and not just here but on the other teams boards too. Would it be possible to bring in some system like only allowing people to post after they've been a member for say a month, and requiring a unique email address for membership?

It wouldn't totally prevent the abuse of course, but it'd force people to put work into it which would presumably cut the frequency dramatically. Especially if members abusing Eds were then banned of course.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed001's Note - we are going to gradually introduce changes to the registration system, especially with regard to email addresses, so they have to confirm their email address. They will also have to be using a unique email address not already in our system.}

Ed002, listen we all appreciate your hard work and that goes for you too Ed018. What ever you guys can share goes a long way and for most of us it means a lot. Don't want to sound like a broken record but for what it's worth we early respect you guys work and though the minority succeed every summer to ruin it the majority really do appreciate it.

Cheers. :)

Thanks for the update on that Ed001. It sucks that some people ruin the help you guys provide us with throughout the entire season, not just transfer windows. I completely understand why you guys withdraw from pages that you get abused on it just sucks for the rest of us that do appreciate it. Ed002 it's nice to see you still loitering around and keeping an eye on us! Will be good to have you back come the end of the transfer window! (Hopefully before if you can be persuaded. Maybe if we write you a poem? ;)) Now just to reiterate what Studley said, thanks for stepping up, you're doing a wicked job. It's much appreciated by the majority of us!

Also, congratulations on the recent family addition!

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed018's Note - thanks}

Yeah congrats ED018 appreciate all the more you sticking aroud with so much going on.And Ed002 i'm sorry once again you have had to suffer the mindless abuse of a few when are people going to realize these guys don't have to do this just get pissy because they don't get told what they want to here its ridiculous happens every year. Oh well we look forward to your eventual return Ed again sorry you've had to deal with the morons again. And Ed001 I agree with Cech the changes will be welcome take care guys appreciate the efforts

To go back to the preventative measures I (and I'm certain many others) would gladly pay a registration fee as another way to deter people from posting abuse. Throughout my many years on the site I've seen Ed001 talk about the up and downsides (mainly people feeling entitled to things) so I understand this is a very complex issue. As always thanks to everyone (including the posters) who makes this site an obsession for me.

Agree0 Disagree0

i second that would be more then happy to pay a small fee if it helps get rid of the muppets then they can go troll someone else.

Agree0 Disagree0

I honestly never see any abuse on this site compared to others, I think everyone seems pretty friendly. Still the first website I check when I hear a Chelsea rumour

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed018's Note - it gets deleted the majority of the time so it never even makes to the page}

17 Jul 2015 19:42:48
Ohh I never knew that. I bet some people can be abit of a pain then. Thanx for all the info you guys give us though some of us do appreciate it.

Hi Eds, with the number of home grown players within squads likely to increase in the coming seasons are Chelsea looking at any high profile English players? For example Barkley, Stones, Delph, Wallcot, Chamberlain etc.

{Ed018's Note - Stones is the only player on that list the Chelsea have shown interest in but I wouldn't expect him to move to Chelsea this summer}
