ive heard that real madrid have officially made a bid for neymar, is this true? and do you think the bid will be accepted because i think chelsea is in need of a flair player such as neymar and i think i speak on behalf of most chelsea supporters when i say we would be dissapointed if he didnt join us {Ed002's Note - It is not true at this time.}

{Ed002's Note - Some weeks ago Chelsea agreed to meet Porto's buy out clause but AV-B made it clear that the time was not right and he wanted to stay longer at Porto to see how they get on in the Champions League. I am out of the country right now and the only thing that could have changed is Hidding deciding that he would not take the manager's job because one of the two other candidates had made himself available. Hiddink was a reluctant fill in for one year only at manager level. Given that I don't know if Villas-Boas has made himself available, for me this remainjs only a possibility at this time. However, I am also someway from the UK and access to news. I have had one call only to say this was not the case. We can wait to see.}

ED who is the third candidate? Is it Pep G or Jose?

{Ed002's Note - Mourinho.}

If AVB does become manager ED002 will transfer targets change will be he allowed to bring in who he wants? and if he does become manager will Guus be DOF? {Ed002's Note - Why don't we just wait and see what happens. Keep in mind the club has a number of advisors.}

Ed... would you happen to know why Alexis sanchez has choosen barca over chelsea?
chelsea needs pacy mildfielders who are versatile and creative. Ed.. do you think by signing one of the current rumored targets like javier pastore, wesley sneidjer or luka modric will solve the challenge or we need to sign two of them? in regards to wingers, who do you think chelsea would target now that sanchez is gone? van der wiel and subotic are potential targets for chelsea this summer. how will they fit in the squad noting that terry, luiz, alex, ivanovic, bosingwa and cole are already in the first team squad?

{Ed002's Note - Well, he is from Chile so a common language in Spanish. They have a similar culture. The weather is better than England. They are European champions.}

Hey Ed002... i dont suppose you can shed some light on the rumour from Portugal about Villa Boas being lined up to take over at the Bridge...? As an avid blue i was hoping for Hiddink personally... i'm not sure Villa Boas is what we need right now... too soon for him i'd say. any thoughts?

I hate asking direct questions, and usually back you up when the grumpkins on here do it, but i figured if someone knows it'd be your good self :)

cheers!! {Ed002's Note - Some weeks ago Chelsea agreed to meet Porto's buy out clause but AV-B made it clear that the time was not right and he wanted to stay longer at Porto to see how they get on in the Champions League.

Just heard that villa boas is going to be the next chelsea manager as cfc has agreed to meet the release cause and roman also wants to take falcao away from porto to make the manager feel more comfortable. what's your say ed? {Ed018's Note - they havent agreed just yet.}

Do you think VB will be the manager soon though? Do you think we would move for Hulk or Falcao? they are both great talents even if we didnt get VB. Thanks :) {Ed018's Note - i think so. hulk and falcao? maybe if other things dont work out}

David Villa to be sold to Chelsea to fund Cesc Fabregas transfer
Barcelona are considering selling David Villa to Chelsea and using the money from the transfer to buy Arsenal captain Cesc Fabregas, according to a report.
The Champions League winners are hoping to add Udinese winger Alexis Sanchez and Villarreal forward Giuseppe Rossi to their squad, as well as Fabregas, but only have a £40 million transfer budget.
Coach Pep Guardiola is apparently now considering sacrificing Spain striker Villa to add a further £40 million to the kitty.
The 29-year-old, who joined Barca from Valencia in a £34 million deal last summer, is likely to be offered to Chelsea, who are in the market for a new forward.
Their top target Neymar looks set to snub the Blues to join Real Madrid, but Villa would be an attractive alternative, not least because he has experience of playing alongside Fernando Torres.
A source told the Sunday Mirror that Guardiola would be reluctant to sell Villa, but is ready to take a pragmatic approach in the transfer market.
Ideally, he wants to keep Villa especially after the impact he made in his first campaign with Barca. He sees David as a big player as his side push for more trophies next season, the insider said.
But he also knows that he may have to sacrifice Villa to finance incoming deals. And Manchester City and Chelsea would be very happy to buy Villa.

Roman Abramovich is said to have already agreed to pay Porto's £13million release clause to let the 33-year-old leave for the Premier League.

Hey ed, if the 50mill bid for aguero is true, will athletico accept the bid? but will aguero's personal terms will be a problem? and finally, can aguero be an attacking winger as well as a striker? thanks ed. {Ed002's Note - I am sure there will be another package offered up, but talk of a "£50m bid" is irresponsible by the papers.}
