Only rumoured prices and nothing is signed but could be £65m for barkley, dzeko and the wing back who was lined up possibly by juve for Sandro. That's good business especially if Emerson is as good as I've read.

I think that would be good piece of business for us.

Dzeko is more than an able back up for the latter part of this year and even next year. I wouldn't be surprised if his scoring ability keeps Morata on the bench if the latter keeps missing like he does. I still would like chelsea to try and go for Icardi in the summer but maybe I am being too optimistic here.

Alonso has been good since his arrival. However, alongside Moses he has been coasting due to the lack of competetion. I feel Emmerson will give him a run for his money.

Prior to his injury, he had a really good year at Roma. From being a back up he was one of the main cogs in the team. Typical brazilian, full of skills, dribbles and bundles of pace. I think it will be a good move. He will have to work hard but let's be honest if he does well he takes Alonso out or atleast puts pressure. The latters pace is what restricts him and physique is more of a cb's.

Yes I really rate Dzeko especially useful in Europe. Very happy to have him as a backup striker.

Dzeko played and scored twice against us in europe this season, so cannot play. For me he will start in league games and Morata will be saved for Europe.

Let’s be honest, he’s not the world beater that we need and neither is Emerson. I think we are happy with these players because of the players we were originally linked too.

We should have bid for Sandro again or at least waited until summer. We could have kept Baba Rahman as back up to Alonso and then gone all out on Sandro.

Dzeko - I think will be a shrewd signing but he wasn’t exactly banging them in for City when he was playing there. So he does come with some scepticism. I am hoping I am wrong (but if it was me in charge, I’d have bought Tammy back from loan) .

But this is all talk, until we get them over the line. Fingers crossed we do, but feel we could have signed better.

That is not good business! We're usually very cannot with our business but the last couple of windows we've been below par and keep enquiringly about mediocre players!

Dzeko and Emerson are squad players, dzeko is the target man conte wanted so I'm happy enough with that, will be a good number 2. Emerson I've read good things about a and was one off juventus options for Alex Sandro replacement so there must be something there, Barkley i'm really happy about (£15m is brilliant ) and think he can be contes box to box man like pogba and Vidal were at juve.

and like I keep repressing we need to add that pace and skill, we've all seen Pedro is yard or so off it but does pop up with goal or 2, willian is great against lesser teams but is so frustrating and his end product needs finding, as gutted as I am with Sanchez and Aubameyang going to rivals I think we can save this window, Mahrez should be one we go after next. Really worried bout tomorrow game with so many injuries and tired legs, iquziel (spelling) is rapid and loved to run at players which isn't ideal.

Hi Ed001,

Would You be able to confirm either way if Chelsea FC really are interested in or negotiating for any of the absolute dross We've been linked with recently?

Dzeko is a quality player and for Me the only question mark is His age but Carroll and Crouch would be actually Criminal.

I'm hoping You can shed some light on this and any other info You may have on Chelsea's pursuit of a Striker.

Thanks in advance.

{Ed001's Note - well there must have been genuine interest in Carroll as he had asked to be allowed to join you before his ankle problem was discovered. I don't know about Crouch, he does have an offer to consider from another Prem side, but I don't know which one. The BBC certainly believe it to be Chelsea though. Dzeko yes, during talks with Roma the question was floated as to his availability. It is perfectly possible Crouch was just seen as a short term, cheap and homegrown answer to tide you over until the summer.}

Crouch and dross in the same sentence? Are you having a laugh, the man has 22 goals in 44 games for England!
