I doubt chelsea are going to be signing anyone else's as mr abramovich is getting sued for 3.5 billion {Ed002's Note - That has nothing to do with Chelsea.}
You do realise that transfers arent always fro the owner right? Transfers come from the clubs sales
17 Jan 2012 23:27:16
Hi ED. Just heard a rumour flying around that we may have provisionally agreed terms with Eden Hazard ? Is that just a rumour or any truth to this story? Thanks mate. Great job! {Ed002's Note - No, that would be tapping up.}
That would ED, but if Lille has allowed to talk to players representatives? {Ed002's Note - I think you may be getting a little confused. There have been no discussions with teh player. Talking to a player's agent about whether a player would be open to a move or not is not something that requires the approval of Lille.}
Have Chelsea spoke to his agent ED? and asked if he would like a move to us? {Ed002's Note - I have explained everything I am able to share. I don't understand why you cannot be satisfied with that.}
17 Jan 2012 22:38:58
Watch this space Chelsea are to make a £23 million + Malouda for Hazard within the next 2 days
Dont lie mate Malouda isnt worth 12million+
And who said Hazards value was £35mil? Think before u call someone a liar. I'm telling u watch this space
Lille said they want around 35m for him so..
17 Jan 2012 19:49:29
Ed wat do you no about the situation with Eden hazard is there any think to these rumours {Ed002's Note - Read the messages.}
ED02 would Chelsea consider for Hazard to agree to the move but to stay at Lille until the end of the season ? {Ed002's Note - Perhaps, but it would not be an opening gambit.}
What happened to the guy that said Hazard had an attitude problem then ED? has he been won over? {Ed002's Note - He is being worked on still.}
Without his say so can the move not go ahead? {Ed002's Note - Everybody needs to be comfortable with players arriving.}
Have chelsea held informal talks with the player or his agent or is any move for the player well of that stage? {Ed002's Note - I have have explained the situation already in that Chelsea have spoken with Lille about their expectations.}
17 Jan 2012 19:37:22
Ed 02;
Read today that chelsea have signed 3 brothers ( the dasilva) from luton town, twins aged 12, & other brother aged 13. Do you have any info on these lads, I'm just curious, with this being quite an unusual occurance. thanks. {Ed002's Note - I know nothing about the game at that level - sorry.}
Theres an article about them on skysports web site
17 Jan 2012 19:37:19
Do chelsea want roberto firmino.
17 Jan 2012 19:09:14
Eden Hazard to Chelsea this week is not true. Nowhere near a done deal like people make out. Its likely that he will stay at Lille. Man City, Real Madrid and PSG apparently interested!
I've also heard that Chelsea will look for another striker in the summer. It depends on how well Torres does and if he makes the Euros or not - he could be excluded because of the form that Callejon, Soldado, Adrian etc. are in.
I've heard Liverpool might sign a striker who can score, but I think that might not happen either...
17 Jan 2012 18:05:27
Hey Ed: Among all these rumours i really want to see Goetze and Hazard to sign for
Chelsea along with the other players...What your say guys?
Hazard and the OM Rightback i see as most probable but i want to see gotze and hulk as well
Oh yes, especially the "other players"... You're cool mate. Whatever we do, i just want us to at least maintain part of our face we made over the last decade. I just don't want us to turn into an endless Arsenal type of project.
Goetze, Mata, Hazard are all very exceptionaly gifted young players. And all are what? 1,60m tall? Great feat to face the Stokes and Blackburns of EPL.
To make it work, you have to keep the ball at least 60% of the time, or more to be sucessful. Otherwise you get exposed in the back. For the poor version, check Arsene's project. The proper one is all well known to is all.
I am a little sad that we are turning away from what made us sucessful. We are loosing identity.
I have just said that i wanted to see the two players in Chelsea's shirt but that doesn't mean that i have told anywhere i only wanted to see this two player only...and for your information we have already sign cahill and we trying to sign aczlibuqueta...so effort are made in every corner...!!Blues for life
Gotze will not come to Chelsea, Hazard is a poss but will be last minute deal in excess of 30+. Porto will not sell till summer so hulk not in this window. Aczlibuqueta is in early stages so maybe stuck with headless chicken (bosingwa) till summer. Chelsea in need creativity on the right so fingers crossed they pull someone out the bag.
Azpilicueta. How is it possible to spell it that badly wrong when his name is all over the internet and all over this page! Do people actually read the posts on here before posting something of their own?!
Why all the clamour for a right back. Now we have Cahill put Luiz or ivanovic there both are good in that positon and it would give luiz chance to get forward more.
If you have luiz or ivanovic as first choice right back then where is our cover for terry and cahill? We do need to sign a right back..
To the guy a few posts above who said were losing our identity. you think its a bad thing that were not that club who overpays for players and pays double the wage other top premiership clubs pay? As i am only a supporter im not going to complain about CFC spending big but again were paying gary cahill around the same wage that spurs pays Luka modric and look at how spurs at playing.
Paying Cahill about as much as Spurs are oaying Modric has got nothing to do with Spurs way of playing. Spurs have players in key positions who are right in prime of their careers and so is Man City. Where both us and Man Utd are frankly in transition.
Our core is nearing their twilights and we have an exceptional young talent at our hands, but only what - three players who should be in their prime now? Cech, Essien and Torres, who have all been unlucky for various reasons.
When i mean we are loosing our identity it has got nothing to do with how much we spend, it is about who we target and how AVB wants this team to play. From the grand plan it looks that Barca is a blueprint, while we were built in completely different why, hence the struggle in the change.
Anzhilcutueta will sign this week {Ed002's Note - I am wondering if Azpilicueta will have second thoughts given the problems the fans will have with his name.}
17 Jan 2012 17:48:41
Good to see Josh McEachran's loan move to Swansea be completed. Swansea is a good footballing side and hopefully he will get an opportunity to show what he can do and develop. He has lots of potential but is still 1 or 2 years away from being involved in Chelsea's first team in my opinion.
Match made in heaven. Under Rodgers he'll excel and show his worth. Sinclair has done fantastic and Josh is twice the footballer he is.

Ins:-
Cahill
Aczlibuqueta
Hazard
Outs:-
Anelka
Alex
Malouda
Simple as that guys.
No way hazard is coming before the summer. I can see azpilicueta coming though.
Stop getting everyones hopes up with your hopes and dreams!!
Be nice, but doubt it! Wht u think ed? {Ed002's Note - Please just read the posts. All of these players have been discussed.}
Where are people getting the b in azpilicueta?
17 Jan 2012 15:33:08
Do chelsea want real socidad sensation antoine griezmann {Ed002's Note - Valencia, Marseille and Lyon have shown some confirmed interest in the past and repordedly Barcelona tool a look at one time. The only club that made serious enquiries in the summer were Athletico Madrid and we are aware that such a move would have been acceptable to the player. Chances of a January move anywhere are very slim.}
17 Jan 2012 14:39:01
ED002 a couple of questions for you Have Madrid now approached Lucas Moura and a summer move to madrid is now likely?
Have Chelsea said they willing pay 40 mil euros for Cavani to Napoli
And has anything changed with the Hazard situation i.e a lot of reports he is close to agreeing personal terms with Chelsea? {Ed002's Note - (a) Not that I am aware; (b) I am not prepared to discuss money; (c) Nothing has changed today.}
In reply to answer 2 ok forgot the money have chelsea contacted Napoli? {Ed002's Note - Cavani is not an option at this time but REal MAdrid and Chelsea share an interest. Hence the Higuain situation.}
When will chelsea decide to make a bid for Higuan? {Ed002's Note - I suspect that they will not be bidding right now.}
So if Chelsea want Higuan they have to agree not to bid for Cavani,But Cavni is the preferred one out the two for Chelsea? is that correct ED? {Ed002's Note - I don't think I would want to commit to there being a preferred option, but when Real Madrid offered up Higuain they were asking for a clean run at Cavani as part of the deal. But they were also looking for too much money for Higuain. So for now, and nothing is certain, it appears that there will be no bid for Higuain.}
If madrid keep there stance on there price and cavani doesnt pan out, is there any one else chelsea have been monitering? {Ed002's Note - There will certainly be other options - we just need to wait and see.}
17 Jan 2012 14:30:37
Chelsea are in negotiations for two very exciting players. They hope to steal a march on their rivals by signing them in this window.
Eden Hazard from Lille, but Chelsea need to trigger 33m Euro buy out clause or wait until the summer where Madrid and Man City could also be interested.
Cesar Azpilicueta from Marseille, Chelsea are at an advanced stage for the right-back and hope a deal can be concluded.
Alex is in talks with QPR in a 4.5m deal.
Kalou, Drogba and Malouda will await until the summer until making moves.
AVB is also looking to off-load Boswinga, Mikel, Bruma and Kakuta.
Summer targets are Modric or Mountinho,
Cavani or Higuain, does that means Torres days are numbered....No.
But it would surprise no one if he went back to Spain in a 25m deal to Malaga.
17 Jan 2012 14:04:29
Chelsea are in negotiations with two clubs for two very exciting players and hope to steal a march on their rivals by signing them in this window.
Eden Hazard from Lille, although Lille prefer to sell in summer and hope to get a bigger price with Man City and Real also interested. B
17 Jan 2012 14:01:54
Heard from a good source from inside the club that Chelsea will make a 30.5 million pound + kalou offer for Eden hazard before the end of the week!
ED, can you confirm this? {Ed002's Note - I cannot confirm something someone heard when I wasn't there.}
What I mean't was can you confirm that this rumour has any truth in it at all?
For example, do you're sources know anything about this?
Thanks {Ed002's Note - It is simply speculation. I have explained what I know to be the situation.}
17 Jan 2012 13:42:28
Chelsea weighing up a bid for hazzard ,representatives will be in france by end of next week to talk to Lille ,+ a rb will be signed by the end of jan ,herd from a very good source, all in all looks to be a very nice transfer window in blue ,oh and Torres won't be going anywhere until at least summer when Chelsea will hold talks with him keeping an eye on pato and the goings on in Italy along with two other un named strikers if Chelsea and or Torres decide the time is right to leave
I hope we could get hazard, but it's seems unlikely! We need to buy players with real quality to compete with the likes of man city now! I would love to see youngesters like ocampos,Lucas n Van de wiel!
17 Jan 2012 12:43:16
Why is every post about monetary of new signings ( i agree with the eds, it gets complicated discussing value of bids ) ,, a player is said to be expensive when ur not willing to meet his tagged price or negotiate around it. Anyway, we have grown a reputation of paying to those who we really want in a blue shirt ,, you've got the Torres deal as biggest example :)
17 Jan 2012 12:06:16
Chelsea In and Outs before the close of Window:
Hazard £25m Malouda going the other way
Benzema £15m Drogba possibly going the other way
Cahill £7m
Lahm + Scheizteinger £22m
Also after Rene Adler and Goetze
Follow @MJBarry24 for up to date Chelsea rumours {Ed018's Note - Lahm and Schweinsteiger for 22 million. you really think Munich want to sell them. not a chance.}
Bayern wouldn't sell there captain and vice captain for anywhere near 22million, ridiculous
Swap Benzema for Jovetic.
And swap Lahm + 'Scheizteinger' (??) for Joao Moutinho (not till next summer mind) and you might actually be reasonably close...
...oh yeah and swap that 25 in front of Hazard for something more like 35+
Lol some people really have no idea about values of players and the difficulty in regards to bringing in players in January. I can personally only see maybe one more signing being made this month and if Hazard is to come to Chelsea, he will not be coming until the end of the french season.
Lahm and shweinsteiger for 22mill WORST RUMOUR EVER!!! and love the way you casually throw adler and gotze at the bottom like it means nothing!
Not a great advert for your twitter. None of those seem likely to me, other than Cahill obviously. Benzema is currently the first choice striker for Jose at Real, why would they sell, and i dont think i need to say why the Lahm et all signing is absurd.
Lahm and schweinsteiger for 22mil?
yeah....apparently messi's on the market for 1.5 too.
17 Jan 2012 11:57:38
Ed02 ancelotti said that psg have been offered torres along with a few other strikers have chelsea offered PSG torres? {Ed002's Note - No, Chelsea have not offered PSG Torres.}
Sounds like Ancellotti sour grapes to me. Torres to stay and come good. It WILL happen, I am not a disillusioned Blue, he is looking better and better and I'm sorry but had he scored that AMAZING overhead kick at the weekend, the papers would be scrapping for the headline "Torres Returns"!
Think it's more agents asking for potential buyers, maybe Torres wants out of Chelsea, hope not because can't wait for Nando to start banging in goals,
Carlo just said their agents had approached him - not the club. It could be true. Then again it may not but I don't see why Carlo would do something like that.
17 Jan 2012 11:16:11
Apparently we've bid £14m for Jovetic and as someone suggested were going to bid around £25m for Hazard. These figures are way off, Florentina rate Jovetic in the £20m+ region with Hazard being at least £35+ closer to £40m. Can people stop posting crap saying we've agreed terms, bids of £14m and £25m are going to be accepted and the players want to come. We have interest in these players yes but the figures are alot higher and agreed terms couldnt be any furthur from the truth. Stop bombarding the Eds with pointless, factless posts and if anything is offical or confirmed, the Eds will be the 1st to let us no.
PB
I agree with the poster stop living in dream land these players will cost a lot more! And Chelsea being Chelsea won't pay the money that will get them! Them days are gone {Ed002's Note - You perhaps want to wait and see what happens.}
Except your own post is speculative, with figures pulled from nowhere. Very much the same crap you accuse others of posting, and equally pointless. {Ed002's Note - I think it is better to simply ignore discussion about actual figures.}
Who has said weve got the players for that amount! its rumours. everyone knows hazard will only go for 35 million. no one has actually said weve got him. his agent said he expected chelsea to make a bid of around 25 million plus!
Gentlemen: lets agree on one thing - Chelsea can pay any amount for the right player. Chelsea set their valuation, the selling club theirs, a player and an agent are the third party involved. If all these fall right, then you will see top players arriving. What difference does it make 25 or 33, if say players weekly expectations exceed some 200K£.
Chelsea can attract top talent and pay for top talent, so please 14 or 20 is just figures, theres so much more about it than transfer fee.
I expect a forward before the window shuts if all fall right for the club.
There's no point guessing at figures. Players like Hazard will only be sold for a price that clubs are willing to pay. Listen to the eds and wait and see what happens. It's completely pointless just guessing at figures day in day out.
I've got a feeling that we're going to put in a lot of effort over the coming week or two to sign Hazard.
All the signs are there, all we can ask for is that Chelsea as a club make a genuine effort. If that happens I'll be happy in the knowledge that we're on the right track, even if he ends up not joining.
17 Jan 2012 06:49:37
Ed002: per our intetest in Hazard there come rumours that Real are also interested. Read a few times, that so is the player. If it is only between us and Madrid - and the player chooses way south, this could make DiMaria available, who is our first choice. Isn't it? {Ed002's Note - It is impossible to say. I very much doubt that Real Madrid are going to be interested in Hazard at this time.}
You never know but Real doesn't seem to need this sort of player at the moment. Hazard would realise he would walk straight into the Chelsea team and be a linch pin in an exciting new team.
17 Jan 2012 04:17:17
Eden Hazard is looking likely... Apparently a bid has been made for Jovetic also
Apparently a £14mil bid was rejected for jovetic, they want £20mil for him.
17 Jan 2012 00:18:40
Sportsmail revealed at the weekend that Hazard’s agent expected an offer of around £25million to come from Stamford Bridge for the Belgian playmaker, and now sources at Lille believe the player has provisionally agreed terms with chelsea.
What you think of this ED... {Ed002's Note - I have explained everything I know about the Hazard situation and that Cheslea have spoken with Lille about their expectations.}
