Several news agencies reporting that we have had a £14m bid for Jovetic turned down. They say that Fiorentina would let him go for closer to £20m
He looks an interesting option?

I don't know anything about this guy other than he's a striker for fiorentina. Anyone know if he's any good ?

Ed do you know if we are interested in Jovetic? I heard rumour that in the summer we were interested but i understood he signed a new long term contract, which rather suggests he would be staying put. {Ed002's Note - There is an ongoing interest if available.}

He signed a 5 year deal last summer, so I strongly think it's unlikely we have bid for him in this window.

PR!

Personally, I don't think this is the kind of striker Chelsea need. Jovetic isn't pacy or very fast and he plays a similar style as Toress and we saw how that turned out. The kind of striker we need should be fast and skillful like Cavani,Higuain and Hulk or maybe Hazard. Ed, what players would you like to see put on a Chelsea jersey? {Ed002's Note - I have no or little opinion of the matter in terms of a preference.}

Im not saying this is false buy the daily mirror reported this, think about that for a second.

Torres is fast and skillfull as any striker on his day look back at his prime athletico and Liverpool days he'd beat any defender ,twisted vidic inside out a good few times n he's forms coming back

ED reports of interest in jovetic resurfacing, if I am not wrong AVB admires the player as there was reported interest in the summer too. Any developments you know of?

Kj {Ed002's Note - None. The player remains of interest to Chelsea if he is (a) available; (b) if he not priced too high. I have no knowledge of AVBs view of him but Cheslea interest goes back way befor he arrived as manager. The feeling was always that after signing a new contract that he would at least see this season out.}

Ed, Do Chelsea have any plans of replacing Nico Anelka in january? or are they prepared to wait untill summer? {Ed002's Note - There is no plan. Players are not always going to be replaced on a like for like basis. For example, if a right sided forward were to arrive it would allow Sturridge to be used in the centre.}

Patrick van Anholt on Loan fro Chelsea to Vitesse Arnhem till the end of the season.

AD (dutch national newspaper)
De Gelderlander (dutch regional newspaper)

To my knowledge vitesse already have 2 Chelsea players on loan and to their leagues rules cannot have another so this won't happen

Beleive it, it has happened

Van Aanholt came out to and said it him self

He will be going to vitesse , and who is the 2 players that are allready there ? Im sure it,s only 1 davilla ? {Ed002's Note - Kalas is there as well.}
