I think steve clarke should be consided for our manager. Worked well under jose, done well at liverpool and doing a great job at west brom. Also a chelsea favourite, I think he should at least be in the mix. I love jose but I think he would make too many squad changes as he likes teams to have a lot of strength and power. Where our players are more lean, skillfull players. Dont get me wrong I would love to see jose return but i'm thinking more long term as he only lasts two or three years at a club and moves on. I would take a top four finish over any trophys this year with rafa moving on and a top forward in falcao or cavani coming in along with fellani and schurlle in summer.

To be honest Mourinho has done the Merry-go-round, having played for the top clubs in the top 3 leagues. I feel if he were to come back to England next year it would possibly be for a longer term than his normal 2-3 years.

Agree0 Disagree1

He doesn't need big strong powerful players. Alonso, modric, khedira, ozil, di Maria, ronaldo, benzema, higuan.

Jordan

No disrespect to him, but we need someone better than Clarkie

Agree0 Disagree1

I would class Alonso, Khedira, Ozil, Ronaldo, Benzema as strong powerful players Jordan? DJ

Think that's a decent comment if mourinho comes back it will be for gud till he goes off to manage Portugal like he always said he's been around different clubs now won things but not enjoyed it as much as England we don't want anyone else but him think Chelsea fans now need to get of the di Matteo horse and stop booing all the time he is a legend but if you look back things started to Mis shape when jose went nobody change the formation or tactics nobody, we were so easy to read I think the formation can work wen we had duff / robben essien at his best but with other managers we didn't have the rite players but now with hazard/ Moses mata Oscar rami we do we just need Jose back. And Steve Clarke (chelsea legend)is we're he is today because of mourinho and di Matteo legend but I would bet if Jose was here. Over the last few years I no he hasn't but if he was I would bet we would of had more than 1

Agree1 Disagree0

No more than luiz, moses and ba. Ozil I woudn't class as strong and powerful.
Those player are reasonably stong but there game isn't based around they're strength, unlike essien, drogba and ballack(sort of).

hi ed
who do you think could replace lamps at the end of the season if he does not sign a new contract?
thanks {Ed002's Note - The summer is a long way off right now and things will change in terms of targets, availability, who the new manager likes etc..}

Believable1 Unbelievable1

What new manager ed? Thought Chelsea had a manager :) who's on the short list?

Craig {Ed002's Note - Chelsea has a manager until the end of the season. I have explained that.}

Agree0 Disagree0

We have Kevin De Bruyne coming back in the summer and Oscar will hopefully play alongside Luiz in CM.

Oscar, Luiz, Ramires, Mikel, Romeu, McEachran

We have enough CM's

PB

Agree0 Disagree0

McEachran is never going to play regularly for chelsea...mid table player at best...

Agree1 Disagree1

Wat is wrong with everyone on this site benitez is the manager the new.manager will be decided in the summer and the eds have already told people who interests chelsea when a players signed you will hear about it get a life will you all

is there any developments with isco. I have read that we have first tabs on him in summer. is this true {Ed002's Note - Barcelona, Manchester City, Real Madrid, Juventus and Spurs had previously shown an interest in Isco and he came close to a move to Dortmund, who may still follow up the matter .There were some unsubstantiated rumours of interest from Manchester United and Arsenal. Chelsea had someone watch Isco in a recent game against Granada and again very recently. AC Milan might also look to the player if he does not move before the summer. If Malaga are forced to sell even though they don't want to right now, they have discussed future options on the player with a couple of clubs and I would suspect Chelsea, Juventus and Real Madrid are best placed right now to push a deal through - although Manchester City could well make a bid. A move in January is by no means certain and Malaga are looking to have Isco sign a new long-term contract because they do fear a move for the player this month. Malaga wanted 21M euros and are now negotiating an increase in a termination clause to 42M euros, using a pay rise to tempt the player to agree.}

A lot of talk regarding Lampard. Do you know if he's signed a pre contract with LA Galaxy ed? Or is he any closer to leaving? Thanks in advance DJ. {Ed002's Note - Forget the concept of pre-contracts with US sides as they don't exist the same as they would if he were joining Epanyol or another continental side. As we stand right now all I can really do is confirm what we know and that this will be his last season at Chelsea.}

Believable0 Unbelievable0

So he's going to Espanyol?

Agree0 Disagree0

There are some gullible people here!

Agree2 Disagree0

There certainly are, but do you know who they are...

Hi ed002. You have said previously that you think Torres will almost certainly be gone by the end of the summer, was just wondering whether any clubs have shown interest during this transfer window?

MB {Ed002's Note - There has been a discussion with Atletico Madrid.}

Believable1 Unbelievable0

Is a move before then likely?

Thanks

Miketheblue {Ed002's Note - I would think it doubtful.}

Agree0 Disagree0

Cheers,

MiketheBlue

Agree0 Disagree0

Ed, how did the discussions go, do you know? Is there a proposal involving falcao or just a straight up purchase? Danny {Ed002's Note - THis was dealt with a week or so ago.}

Agree0 Disagree0

Say no more I'll try search function

Hi ed just wondering if the rumour tha Chelsea are after another striker??i herd aspas is there any truth wiv this?thanks dean Swansea, Maritimo, Watford and Reading have shown an interest in Celta Vigo's Iago Aspas over recent months and Swansea have carried over their summer interest and are pushing for a January move still. The player is by all accounts not for sale in January unless someone matches the Iberian termination clause and I am not aware of interest from Chelsea.}{Ed002's Note -

Hello Ed002 and fellow Chelsea Fans,

Ed I noticed you and the other Eds are beginning to feel as though Helping here is more trouble then its worth, I would like to take this opportunity to ask the people who are being abusive to stop, not every question can be answered the way you want it to be it is a rumors site not a fact site after all and without the Eds we would have 0 information so please think before you type for everyone's sake.

Ed002 you seem to be under the impression that our business in this window is more then likely not over yet, would you please mind writing one of your lists on who you are aware we are showing a degree of interest in please.Your time is appreciated buy the majority of us here on the Chelsea page.always has to be a person set to ruin it all.
