Hey Ed and guys Noticed this on the Spurs page thought us chelsea fans could also help out will take 5 mins of your time to sign A relation of one of the Editors sadly died a while back in a swimming pool, he was only 12, but could have been saved with a diffibulator. His father is trying to get support for an e-petition for diffibulators to be available in all public buildings. If this is something you consider worthwhile, perhaps you would think about signing it:

Blueben {Ed002's Note - I am not allowed to sign it Ben but many have been doing so, thanks.}

ED002 if Newcastle have indeed agreed a fee for Yanga M'biwa will Chelsea not try to also try and agree a fee for him? {Ed002's Note - I would doubt it.}

ED do you know if Stories that Cole has agreed a 1 year deal correct? {Ed002's Note - Please read the posts.}

Maybe Chelsea made a mistake on sturridge.. He has done really well.. He should of got a chance.. He couldn't have been worse than Torres

No mistake Sturridge flatters to decieve and sooner or later it will all go what's up!

He was too greedy and was not a team player..... looks like he may be learning... pity its too late for his Chelsea career

Bluetrick

Learning?he is there 2 weeks getting more of a chance than he was given in two years, unfortunately I'm beginning to grow fearful of chelse Fc future under emanelo, gourlay and buck, I know roman keeps an interest of course but ultimately his advisers seem to be getting it all wrong.ie managers and loyal players that still have a lot to give and a simple comparison if you had a dog for a few years with as many new owners it would need re training by each and it would be confused no different with the team and managers .in my opinion ancellotti should be still here

You are joking. Sturridge was greedy arrogant and not a team player. Everything was about him, taking on stupid shots from all angles. When if he had passed to someone lose we would have scored. I also blame him for Torres problems last season, when avb was playing him. On numerous occasions he could have played Torres in but didn't this was because if Torres started to score he knew he would slip down the pecking order.
So good riddance I can't believe that liverpool were stupid enough to give us 12million

Selfish because he was fighting for acknowledgement of being a quality goal scorer he's 23 and Chelsea will be proved wrong as Liverpool have Suarez that doesn't mean hel go down the pecking order already working linking up in games and I fear by the end of the season there'll be two x Liverpool compatriots laughing how KFC overtook cfc in the league. Out with Fernandez and Benitez I say

" He should of got a chance "

It's "should HAVE", not "should of"

Ed 002 Apparently Ashley has signed a new contract..is this correct and if so how long for?
Thanks
S.S. {Ed002's Note - The only offer he was given was a one year extension - so if he has signed it will taken him until June 2014.}

Ok thanks.

This now gives us 1 1/2 years to sign Luke Shaw

We have Kalas who is 1st team ready next season and Ake and Chalobah who are going to be on the fringe of the 1st team. If we are going to buy a CB then their is only 1 option in my mind and that's Mats Hummels. Has the pace and build of Luiz and the style of Terry, perfect defender for the EPL and already world class at his age.

PB

Hummels hasn't got the pace of Luiz, Luiz is very quick.

Subotic for me BLUEBOY1

I mentioned Hummels a few days ago cause I completely agree with u! If we are to bring in a cb it has to be him even though he will cost quite a bit, and I'm not sure he would want to leave Dortmund. He's a great leader, probably one of the best passing CB in the world, knows how to play a certain style of play, has gone to big competitions with Germany and speaks fluent English!

that Newcastle United have agreed a fee with Montpellier for star defender Mapou Yanga-Mbiwa. The 23-year-old French international is now set to fly into England next week for talks with the club's management to finalise a deal.

Any truth In this ed?

WheelyCFC {Ed002's Note - It is perfectly reasonable - certainly a bid was made.}

Just the kind of player we needed, so probably is true. VBS

Cheers.
Do you reckon Chelsea bid for the player or do you see him signin for Newcastle?

WheelyCFC {Ed002's Note - As far as I am aware Chelsea has not bid, although were obviously at the game on Wednesday.}

19 Jan 2013 13:58:51
Athletico's discussions with torres, was there an end resylt from the discussion s or is it ongoing, is there a likelihood of a bid?
Cheers ed blue blood {Ed002's Note - I think there is a good chance he will be moving back there in the summer. They will likely be losing both Falcao and Adrian and are actively looking for replacements.}

Hi ed.. Who are athletico looking at.. Thanks. {Ed002's Note - Atletico have looked at a number of players - Yilmaz, Torres, Martinez, Llorente, Oliveira, Michu, Rodrigo, Huntelaar and expect them to look at Baptistao.}

ED002 are we interested in Luke Shaw as a possible replacement for Ashley Cole?
Johnnycfc {Ed002's Note - Chelsea approached Southampt a couple for times, the first about a year ago, in respect of Shaw and has been told he is not for sale.}

This is the best way, a player who actually has a passion for the club, just like lukaku. BLUEBOY1

These are players we should do everything to bring to the club. Very talented, loves the club and will play his heart out for the team. In our current setup, only the Brazillians seem to care. I'll love to see Courtois, De Bruyne, Lukaku all back next season to form the spine for the team, plus a few additions.

Do ya think 1 of the reasons lamps isn't being offerd a new contract is because of 'player power' and the obvious uneasy relationship he had with AVB.. Its the only reason I can think of considering there isn't even any negotiations and the last 5 or 6 games proved what he still has to offer on the pitch. {Ed002's Note - No.}

Did you see his game v Southampton?

I did read or hear somewhere that roman had really hoped that avb was the new special one and was disappointed when he wasnt given a chance by the senior players that's why I think cole and lamps are going (both still great players) and I don't think terry will be too far behind as RA wants the scales of power tipped in his direction.

dave

I don't think Terry is going to be far behind Lampard and Cole, as far as his playing days at Chelsea are concerned. But, although I read the same or a similar article about RA not being happy with them not supporting AVB, I don't think that is the reason.

I've said before that Lampard is now a bit part player, still quality and the bits he's saved for should be the big bits vs Man Utd etc. as he has looked tired against the likes of Southampton recently. He also remains one of the highest paid players at the club and weather you are disillusioned by modern football or not the fact is owners see it as business. Having your highest paid player/worker not playing/working every game/day doesn't make much business sense. He could take a pay cut, which I'm guessing was discussed a week ago when his representatives apparently met Chelsea to discuss his future, but with big offers coming from elsewhere I don't think this is a realistic option. He'll move to LA on Beckhams old contract and have a great couple of years earning a fortune whilst his Mrs try's to break into American TV. Plus he'll always remain a Chelsea legend.

Terry is slightly different, still a regular starter, and arguably one of the first names on the team sheet in defence. His injuries are beginning to turn, from little knocks that kept him out for a week or two, to little knocks that keep him out for a month or two. I don't think his back problem will ever go away and back problems tend to lead to other problems due to bad posture etc. I think he'll be around for another two years but don't see him playing for another club anywhere. I'd like to think he'd go strait into coaching and eventually end up in the Chelsea dugout.

Players like Lampard and Terry do not come around very often, the are legends and we are the lucky ones to be able to say we watched them at Stamford Bridge. But they do have to move over for future stars such as Chalobah to come into the team, a player who I have little doubt will hold a similar legend status with fans in ten years time.

Sorry for the length and repetitive nature of some comments.

your sentiments are very good about lampard, however he did want to stay he did offer to cut wages but even then he is being shown the door . You refer to business, I agree but I would also say that you don't let your most trained/experienced staff leave UNTIL their replacements are fully inducted and as good as the midfield is everyone on hear is saying it just lacks experience when trying to keep the ball or just calm things down. So we know lamps would prefer to stay we know the manager would want his general to stay to help convert the newbies but it isn't happening because he crossed swords with the owner. Also I do think terry won't be long because like you say his niggles are becoming injuries so much less playing time similar to lamps and RA won't want to pay his (terry's) wage. it will be a shame but it will happen, not to take into consideration what terry has done to darken chelsea's name in recent years
