ED002 if another club does indeed try to sign Luke Shaw this summer could this force Chelsea to try and sign him quicker then expected like what happened with Oscar? {Ed002's Note - Right.}

Why not sign him and let him go on loan for a season or two when he'd be perfect to replace Cole?

Agree0 Disagree0

Yesloan him back to Southhampton for 2 seasons, and then let him replace Cole

Agree0 Disagree0

'Cos Saints don't do loans. In the 4 years that Cortese has been at the helm we have loaned one bloke from Spurs when we were in the Championship and he played for about 10mins. Now that the Cortese scare has been binned I really don't see him going anywhere FOR NOW unless you make a ridiculously stupid bid well over the £10M rumoured. Cortese is an extremely proud and ambitious man and letting Shaw go would be against every public statement he has made. Yes, Shaw is a Chelsea fan but he stated in January on the official club site, when there were similar rumours, that he would be signing a 5 year professional contract with Saints when he turned 18 in July. My only doubt about him staying at Saints FOR NOW is that we may be considering bringing forward another young full back, Matt Targett, who many consider will be even better than Shaw. That said, Shaw is a big, strong lad for his age and is getting better when going forward so he may end up pushing further forward hence the comparisons to Bale. I appreciate we are a small club relative to Chelsea but we really don't need the money and are fully expected to make major signings ourselves without selling our prized assets as in the past. Of course i'm biased but not arrogant and IF he went anywhere I would expect it to be Chelsea 'cos that's where Shaw would want to go but not FOR NOW.

Well said, SaintGazza. We keep giving them the facts but they seem to have difficulty digesting them. (I think Ed. has had the same problem. )

There was a quiet statement made by our manager in the last few days which confirms our young players are staying at the club. Don't expect that will get any coverage but there you go.

Is it feasible that Chelsea will announce the appointment of Jose as manager and the signing of cavani on or around 6 June. Or am I still living in cloud cuckoo land? {Ed002's Note - I don't know where you live.}

Nice one ed, I knew I shouldn't have asked such a stupid question.

Hi ed good luck with the upcoming summer transfer window rush on this site, I just saw Cavani's agent say that there could be an important piece of news regarding his future in the next couple of days, would you happen to know what that might be? Cheers as always {Ed002's Note - Not in the next two days, no.}

Afternoon Ed, hypothetical question, If Santos was to accept bids for Neymar from Barcelona or Madrid, would you think Chelsea and Bayern would also lodge a bid?
Thanks

If I understand correctly, Cavani and Lewandowski are preffered options now since Falcao is no longer in the frame. ?

Ed, do you believe mourinho will be our next manger? Thanks. {Ed002's Note - It is likely.}

Hi ed I'd just like to hear from someone who has some knowledge on this. If/when mourinho comes back will be be bringing Ronaldo with him? I'd like him to come he's arguably the best player in the world and for other Chelsea fans to not want him to come is stupid of them {Ed002's Note - I would doubt it.}

Hey. Sorry if this just sounds like me throwing names about, but do you know if any teams are interested in Blaise Matuidi? He's come on leaps and bounds in the last couple of years for PSG as a deep-lying playmaker and I was wondering if Chelsea or any other teams have shown interest? Cheers {Ed002's Note - I don't see him moving this summer.}

Believable0 Unbelievable2

Oscar and mceachran can do this job. And in three years time well have two of the best.

Courtois was excellent in the copa del rey final. He will be a fantastic keeper for many years, to let him leave would be a massive mistake even if it means losing Cech.

Hi eds sent a couple of questions in today and thanks for answering them but I got one more. The schurrle deal that Chelsea are so called trying to pull off is that on hold because there wanting to see what the new manager thinks or is there just complications to it, I no there's rumours with de bryne (spelling) trying to get some sort of loan to them to smooth things over. But what am saying is the new manager who ever it maybe must have a say on if he comes in or not surely or we are not getting anything sorted with not knowing who's bringing the players in or who wants them. Many thanks {Ed002's Note - The issue is to do with the loan of Kevin De Bruyne for two years and nothing to do with the new manager.}

Believable0 Unbelievable1

I assume we only wish to loan him for 1 year? {Ed002's Note - No, the problem is that De Bruyne has no interest in moving to Leverkusen, although efforts are being made to persuade him.}

Agree0 Disagree0

When does his contract expire? {Ed002's Note - 2017.}

Agree0 Disagree0

Hey Ed, other than wanting to sign at least one more striker what other positions do Chelsea feel needs improving? {Ed018's Note - a center back and center midfield are positions they might look to improve}

Believable3 Unbelievable1

Ed any chance that Real Madrid would sell verane has to be one of the best CB at 19-20 years old. Thanks ed. {Ed002's Note - I don't see there being any chance of Real Madrid selling Varane.}

Hi ed do u think there's a good chance that lewandowski could be bought by Chelsea this summer many thanks {Ed002's Note - Dortmund and Lewandowski have been trying again but are still unable to reach agreement over a new deal and they probably won't. Whilst there is no agreement in place for him to join any other club, it is clear that there is interest from Manchester United and interest from Bayern Munich, who Dortmund would prefer not to sell to. Arsenal were represented at a fairly recent game in Stuttgart and I suspect Lewandowski was of interest to them but I suspect that will not go anywhere. Real Madrid and Chelsea will both look to Lewandowski if they are unable to bring in the players they are currently looking to - and that is seeming a lot more likely now.}

Believable1 Unbelievable1

Hi ed thanks a lot for answering, the last bit of the answer was its 'looking more likely now' am taking that as our first targets don't look like being pulled off and coming to us. Thanks again for your time {Ed002's Note - There is no point in me trying to explain in any detail as it will simply attract abuse, but he is certainly being considered by Chelsea.}

Agree0 Disagree0

As I understand Falcao was probably first choice as such, and with him looking likely on moving to Monaco and all the problems with Cavani last summer possibly being the same this summer, Chelsea will now turn their attentions to Lewandowski and or other possible strikers like Yilmaz. This may to be completely right, but that's my general understanding.

Agree0 Disagree0

18 May 2013 10:04:27
Everything seems to have gone quiet at the Falcao to Monaco front. have there been any developments in the recent days? {Ed002's Note - There is nothing of note to say right now.}

hi ed002,

Can u explain the efforts chelsea made last summer to sign Cavani? {Ed002's Note - Napoli rejected two offers in the summer that equated to roughly 55M euros - one from Chelsea in cash and one another involving Giovinco and Matri plus a pile of cash that was offered by Juventus.}
