Hi Ed, a) is it true that we are going to send a bid for Cuadrado or Lucas Ocampos? B) Are we still interested in Imbula? He has been great this season for Marseille and I rather have him over Khedira. C) do you think that we are going to make negotiations in January?
Thank you for the info!
{Ed002's Note - (a) Ocampos is for sale and has been offered to Chelsea. I am not aware of interest. Cuadrado is of interest, an auction is not. (b) Chelsea and Marseille have no discussed Imbulla for some time and Marseille are not expecting an approach from Chelsea. An enquiry was made regarding Imbulla by Arsenal fairly recently. (c) Chelsea are looking for players for next summer and if the option is there to pay in January and take delivery in the summer - then they will.}
Thank you, do you know what other players have been offered to Chelsea? So I guess that we are not going to incorporate new players in January to the team, right? Apart from Khedira, what other players do you think Chelsea is going to try to offer a pre-contract in January?
{Ed002's Note - I have explained before I will answer general questions but am not going to get in to specifics. However, subject to what happens with Cassilas, something may happen with Khedira in January.}
I understand, have you heard anything about john stones or coleman? Thank you for all the good work, we Chelsea fans are really grateful of all your information
{Ed002's Note - No - what do you seriously expect to happen in January?}

I don't think we need to add anything in January tbh! I'm very happy with the overall balance of the team. Now I would like to see sammy khedira replace mikel ideally for free in the summer but if it had to be January I wouldn't complain.
