ED002 a Question for you rumour mill has it that AVB may be a candidate for the liverpool job?
BLUEBLOOD {Ed002's Note - It is more a statement rather than a question.}

Ok then do you think he may be approached ED? {Ed002's Note - I don't know.}
Agree0

I would be shocked if he wasn't. They way Henry runs his Socks (Boston) and the way he prefers stats and other geek stuff to actual man management - AVB would be just perfect for him. Just perfect.

Obviosly kenny was still in charge and the owners are in america at the moment vut there where rumors avb was seen at liverpool airport on tursday afternoon ,liverpool looked into avb before kenny,i think with time hes got some potential but still wouldnt like to see him sucseed in the prem
Carefree
Agree0
Disagree0
Wouldn't like to see him succeed? Why? So few managers these days seem to have any idea what they're doing, avb would be such a refreshing change.
Agree0

Because we sacked him if he strives in the prem we look like mugs for sacking him thats why i wouldnt like to see him do well in the prem

Ed, would we be interested in martin skirtel, looks like he wants to move and he can be a fine target for us, his form has been great and he is a textbook CB like terry?? {Ed002's Note - No.}

Ed002: anything on Cavani? Ed, i assume you understand the way the club recruits the players and could you tell one thing: we are interested in Falcao, Hulk, Lucas Moura, Jovetic, Schurrle and surely some others who don't get his much attention. Those mentioned are all attackers: forwards, strikers, wingers, you name it. But i understand the club sees certain areas it wants to improve. How many attackers do you think Chelsea are after?
For instance, if we sign Hulk, does it have an effect on further interest in Moura or Jovetic? Are Falcao and Hulk related?
JG {Ed002's Note - It will impact targets if a player is signed but the club needs to take the vies that signing players at the "highest" level is tough at best.}

hey Ed is it true that there would be more no. of bayern fans at the final due to the fact that the season ticket holders for bayern would be allotted a separate quota of seats? {Ed002's Note - No. The season ticket holders have to give up their seats and have them re-allocated. The hosting club have an additional allocation but they are normally used corporately.}

You call yourself a supporter you should be ashamed if we win the champions league witch we will we have more silverware then city mate.Toure wants another challenge it may be chelsea but barca looks more realistic

I agree. Completely pointless even talking about Yaya Toure no chance whatsoever of him coming to Chelsea.
Agree0

Worse team than city because of one season?? come off it mate, are we a worse team than arsenal, spurs or newcastle coz we came 6th?? Nooooo.....that said Toure wont come to us, he wont leave city
Agree0

Yes i am a supporter, and no im not going to be ashamed of having a opinion.
Scruffy
Agree0

We are not a worse club than city have they been to a champs league final yet no they have not i'd sy we are a better club than them still.
Agree0

Toure is a pr**k anyway. I agree he's a gd player but I wouldn't want him. When we played city he couldn't get close to mata so just resulted to kicking him. I know some ppl will say he did his job but I just don't like that about him.
But I agree he won't come to us anyway. Probably his agent just wanting to get more money for him. That's what he's all about at the end of the day. Otherwise why would he have left barca.

Hey ed, a report said that fiorentina are willing to sell Jovetic if the right offer is made. If that is the case will we revisit earlier interest.

Assuming the future of Chelsea could be...
GK: Courtois, Blackman, Delac
D: Kane, Ake, Cahill, Luiz, Ivan (?), Bertrand, Hutchinson, Kalas, PvA
M: Ramires, Romeu, Mikel (?), Mata, Marin, Chalobah, Swift
F:De Bruyne, Davilas, Kakuta, Lalkovic, Lukaku, Studge, Feruz, Piazon
...who can name the realistic targets for the realistic gaps? I'm talking 2014-15.
Although midfield has been our strong point in the past, I sense a distinct lack of "Lampardism"...

Just saying, there is a young lad also called Mitchell Beeney, plays in goal for the youth team I think, but hes an unbelievable talent too, and certainly one to look out for.

I think we will need another CB. Preference would be Hummels still only 22ish i think and so much power and defensive ability.
We will need a world class RB and I would go for VDW but seeing as though he isn't keen on Chelsea than Cesar. Still 23 and has a lot of overlaping ability up the wings and great defensive talent.
Di Maria to be brought in. World Class winger!
Fernando or Moutinho added to midfield depending on how Romeu progresses. Mikel Gone. Moura to play as a CM, CAM in the hole like Mata as well as Winger, but won't come until 2013-14 season.
Get rid of Davilas, possibly Kakuta. Higuan to be our main striker with Marin/Paizon on his left, Di Maria/Moura on his right. If Marin hasn't shone by then, i think Munian would be best choice for LW in 2/3 years
GK: Courtois, Blackman, Delac.
D: Cesar, Ake, Cahill, Luiz, Hummels, Ivan, Bertrand, Hutchinson.
M: Ramires, Romeu, Fernando/Moutinho, Marin, Mata, Chabolah, Moura, McEachran
F: De Bruyne, Di Maria, Lukaku, Strurridge, Feruz, Piazon, Higuan.
Line Up 2014/15
1-4-1-2-3
GK: Courtois
D: Cesar*** Luiz*** Hummels*** Bertrand
DM:***********Romeu************
CM:****************Ramires***********
CAM:*******Mata*********
W:Di Maria/Moura********Piazon/Marin
F: ********Higuan/Lukaku***********
Subs: Cahill, Chabolah, Fernando,Moutinho, Piazon/Marin, McEachran, Moura/Di Maria, Blackman, Lukaku/Higuan

Mceachran? sturridge mikel shouldnt be here nxt year let alone 14-15
Agree0
Disagree0
I like Melbourne CFC's gap filing. Just the sort of insight I was interested in. However Di Maria (scared of physicality?) and Moura (Inter perhaps?) are long shots in my book. Glad to see I'm not a million miles of with my thinking and that people value the Romeu's of this world as much as I do. And yes, a proper RB is absolutely essential.
To answer the McEachran comments, unless he puts on about 6 stone in muscle (both physically and mentally), I worry he could be sold. (Rami being a prime example of mental strength).
Sturridge has a use, he is considerably better than a lot of premier league players, including Walcott who people keep making Chelsea-related noises about (madness if you ask me). Mikel I included simply because for someone that hated Mikel up until this season, I now also see a use for him.
Cheers all!

Heres a little info for all those who think hulk is the answer to all our "creativity" needs. I looked up his stats and he has an an awe inspiring 0 ASSISTS! And he barely has any caps for a player of his age and supposed calibre. It's probably just me but I don't see him as the way to go.Nova

Barely any caps for who?..and hulk has 15 assists this season mate...are you from Sa with using the word "awe"?
Agree0
Disagree0
Not sure what stats you looked up however I suggest you look harder! There are reasons for the lack of International caps for Brazil...during your research you should be able to find those reasons out too.
Agree0
Disagree0
Dont know where you get your stats from Original Poster you are miles off! Barely any caps for brazil is no big deal either considering the players that he is competing for a place against!
Blue John

Think he talking about international. But shows how much he knows of hulk, and how un often he's seen him play BLUEBOY1

Look at ramires he aint been slected

Completely agree with all reasons given by poster 2, 3, Blue John and BLUEBOY1. OP is an "internet football fan" methinks.
Watch him, he is a beast and would boss the EPL.
Agree0

Hulk only started doing well at a older age and is competing with Loucas Moura for his position in the Brazil team ,Moura is 19 so Brazil are thinking about the future and that Moura will be one of the best ever in a Brazil shirt..that is why Hulk has had limited opportunities not because he isn't good enough.
Agree0
Disagree0
How many goals has he scored, I read that this year he played 26 scored 16 and 11 assists but that is from Wikipedia, I think he is top top player
Agree0
Disagree0
That is only league games shown on wikipedia
Agree0
Disagree0
We should rather go for hazard...i know ed will say that he has a attitude problem...but after playing so many years for the club some senior players doesn't show the same...i think they all are professionals and we should buy hazard.

Hulk from what I have seen is overated

Morning Ed, just read that yaya toure wants to leave Man city as he has achieved all he wants to there, his agent is linking Chelsea and Bayern for him along with a possible return to Barca, he has even gone as far as saying Yaya would drop his wage demands to join these clubs. Would Chelsea be interested in him? Or is it all cock and ball?
