It's looking more likely we have our second signing in the promising Eden hazard for £28m
I'd say lille would want more than that for him, plus with the clubs interested it could turn to a bidding war
20 May 2012 23:45:16
Can someone Plz tell me where there gettin these hazard rumors from?! Thnks
20 May 2012 22:19:29
Hazard: "I will be
playing in London with the
Champions League winners next
season. I look forward to it."
Comeon!!!!
Samir
Not what I read, my agent spoke with Manchester utd and Chelsea and both gd offers and great clubs I am still not sure where I will be next season, blokes a nob
Pretty sure he didnt say that...
Hows the bloke a nob? when he's got life changing choices? mug
Not sure where you read/heard that Samir....it's untrue though. No confirmation as to any move whatsoever.
He has been telling every club in europe that he will be joining them for the last 6 months. That alone constitutes him as a bit of a nob.
Exactly its not just him these players have to think abt there familys and wether they would want to go to london or manchester or maybe madrid lol
The guy seems to want to get interest from as many clubs as possible. i'd imagine to get as good a contract as possible, as good a player as he is would he really be worth the hastle? he could be at a club for a season then want to force a way out to sign for another club
20 May 2012 22:12:43
man united fan here congrats on last night. after beating barca wow did u desirve it England still the main force in England .get in the blues !
I ment europe not England lol
20 May 2012 21:37:33
please Ed can you tell us what the hell is going with torres {Ed002's Note - In what respect? He gave an interview - big deal.}
An interview straight after the game when emotions were running high from the celebrations and him taking the mic and signing we are the champions at the parade today suggestions that he may be unhappy are false maybe unhappy with the playing time.
He has been moaning about the way the staff has treated him and he wants to know what is going to happen with him in the future.
20 May 2012 21:35:24
Where did u post the answer about rafael, cant find it hear in the rumours page. {Ed002's Note - There was no approach I know of.}
20 May 2012 20:58:04
are we getting hazard? yes or no ed? {Ed002's Note - Chelsea have no agreement with Lille.}
Do we have an agreement with the player?
JG {Ed002's Note - That would be tapping up. Clearly the Twitter generation should stick to Twitter.}
20 May 2012 20:58:57
Can I ask exactly what Torres said in his interview with Guillieme Ballague today? I didn't see it or hear it, I was at the parade all day. Also, ed; what is the Hazard situation, has it progressed or is it the same as last month?
Cheers all!
Double Winners 2012!
CFCFOREVER! {Ed002's Note - For about two years Chelsea have been keen on Hazard but just one person has concerns that must be addressed. Those concerns relate to his attitude (leaving the stadium after being substituted etc.) and his constant talking to the media etc.. The first may have been overcome, the second clearly not. His representatives are aware of this and met with a Chelsea Director to see if this opinion could be put to one side and to see if Chelsea would make an offer to Lille. The answer is no, so they wanted to organise a meeting with the permission of Lille for the player to sit down and discuss the issue to see if it could be resolved. Hazard is aware of all of this.}
Okay: I thought that was still the case ed, cheers for clarifying. :) Also, do you know what squad number Marin will take up next season?
Cheers,
Double Winners 2012!
CFCFOREVER! {Ed002's Note - No idea.}
ED did his representatives try and strike this kind of deal with any club or just chelsea is the player keen on a move or would his people like him to move to chelsea? {Ed002's Note - This was to address the concerns that Chelsea has, so ...}
He will say after the game 2ngt that he is join united {Ed002's Note - How much have they agreed to pay Lille for him?}
Can we infer that he is genuinely keen to come to us, given that his representatives want us to make an offer? Or is it the case that no other club has made an offer, and he wants us to start the ball rolling? {Ed002's Note - You can infer little from this.}
20 May 2012 19:56:18
Yo ed, about the rafael question i asked earlier there is no answer about it on the posts so, what do u know about it, did we approach united for the player? {Ed002's Note - I answered it elsewhere.}
Why would Chelsea approach Man U for a player that can't even defend?. Both of the twins are average at best.
20 May 2012 19:48:26
Still speechless after last night! And really in the dark over our instant future. I see no way that Drogba and the club won't come to an agreement. And when they do, i see no future for Torres at our club.
We should look to bring in Cavani as he is the closest one to Drogba's playing style i can think of. (Lukaku aside, of course).
JG
Cavani is nothing like drogba.
let Drog go, bring in cavani and play C and Torres together.
20 May 2012 19:34:40
Hi Rangers fan here massive congratulations to you on your victory i have always supported Chelsea as my English team like most Rangers fans and it was great to see you getting your hands on the cup well done it has been deserved over the years
Jeff Rfc
Well said!
20 May 2012 19:29:15
We only need three players: Right back, attacking midfielder and a prolific striker. Then Drog and Lamps can fill in when needed.
We don't need right back we have Ivanovic
Ivanovic doesnt want to play right back he prefers playing in the centre of the defence
20 May 2012 19:28:18
ED, Just read that Chelsea has beaten Man U and Man C to the signing of Hazard even before their champions league victory on BBC football gossips. How true is this? {Ed002's Note - See earlier answers.}
20 May 2012 19:21:31
This comments apparently made by Torres are being taken out of context and twisted by the media. Another thing i do not understand is when was Balague even able to have this interview. It was published like 9hrs after the final, barely enough time to stop celebrating and sleep. to me this just seems like he is trying to create a story to me, probably bitter that Barca didn't win.
Rowan
U cant blame him if he wishes 2 leave i thought when he came on he was amazin only real attacking player he should have had a peno when taken down media always seem 2 twist things though
Not disagreeing with what he said, but just think its been blown out of proportion. He will get 20+ goals in the league next year. Guy is class.
Rowan
Completely agree. He stated in his interview that because of the result and the fans that he is "very happy". I assume for any world class player not being included in a champions league final starting XI would be difficult to accept. Personally I think that he has a central role to play next year. When he come on in the 84th minute, or whenever it was, he played with a determination the likes of which I haven't seen in him for a while. After all, he did win us that corner which Drogba buried!
20 May 2012 19:02:36
Hi Ed, I've just seen a rumour on BBC saying that we have now moved into pole position to sign Eden Hazard from Lille. However, I thought that he was virtually certain to join united or city? Any truth in this rumour?
Jamie {Ed002's Note - I cannot say about "pole position" - and I have already explained what has happened.}
20 May 2012 18:48:46
Well done a performance full of determination and grit. You deserve it, Drogba is a legend. I'm a red and a scouser but it has to be said your lads did you proud. Well done again YNWA.
ROYZERED
20 May 2012 18:27:58
Man united fan here!.
Congrats,you deserved it.
Am from Nigeria,seeing man united fans,arsenal and liverpool fans come together to support chelsea was deeply moving.
After drogba scored the winning goal,there was wide spread celebrations,some folks undressed and ran around naked.lol.
Congrats once more.
Long live chelsea fc.
long live man united.

20 May 2012 18:19:58
Hey ed, do u know anything about chelsea approaching man u for rafael.
DASTANJ {Ed002's Note - See previous answer.}
20 May 2012 18:14:31
Apparently Torres has handed in a transfer request. This is from twitter so it's probably a lie.
Scruffy
Torres has not handed in a transfer request! Someone has twisted the story which involved him saying he had some concerns that he needed to discuss with the club. I think Torres wants to stay at Chelsea but only if he is told he will be playing a bigger part in the first team and for this to happen Drogba must go!
I agree, or else we'll need to convince the likes of Cavani, Higuian etc to come play second fiddle to a 34 year old Drogba, don't get me wrong, Drogba we'll always be a legend but i think it's time we looked foward and that's a new chapter. I'm not at all surprised with Torres' concerns.
20 may 2012 18:02:26
congrats on last nite lads from a rangers fan blue is the colour
20 May 2012 18:00:22
Well done Chelsea. Im an LFC supporter but you did a job on both FCB and Bayern, so enjoy the feeling, youve earned it
ps not meant as a moan but personally I thought letting John Terry change into full kit including shin pads and join in the celebrations was an absolute farce ( sad man ). He deserved to be red carded and should have taken the consequences like a man.
Tel 1949
He didn't actually wear shinpads, he just wore the kit, along with the other suspended players, and players that weren't on the bench, just to fit in with the photos that were taken, so they didn't look out of place with their regular clothes or suits.
20 May 2012 17:58:44
Do you think that Chelsea will assure Torres that he is a big part of their plans?
20 May 2012 17:51:11
Ed what players are out of contract at the end of may? {Ed002's Note - None.}
ED have Chelsea made a apprach for Rafael da silva from Man utd? {Ed002's Note - Not that I am aware - seems very unlikely.}
Drogba, Kalou and Bosingwa are out of contract at the end of June (not May).
20 May 2012 17:40:00
Will winning the champions league make a big difference to who will be the manager of Chelsea at the start of next season? Would love Jose to come back and us to be the first club to win it two years in a row. {Ed002's Note - I doubt it but in some ways it could make it more difficult to find someone to take the side on.}
20 May 2012 17:09:43
Cant wait to see what Hazard comes out with tonight most probably will just be rubbish.
Scruffy
Why whts he doing??
20 May 2012 16:56:22
Hi Eds, i think your doing a great job and im really enjoying this site but i have one question about Torres:
i think he has been performing well in recent PL games but he hasnt played in the finals and thats understandable because Drogba is a big game player.
Its come out that he is not happy with how things are going, broken promises by the club and its partly down to his perfomance. I would really like him to stay but what do you think will happen to him, do you think he will stay or move on?
Thanks, Ollie22 {Ed002's Note - If he wants to leave and an acceptable offer is made then the club will not stand in his way.}
Do you expect him to leave though ED02? {Ed002's Note - There has to be a very good chance.}
Cheers, Do you know if any clubs have an interest in him? {Ed002's Note - Juventus is a possibility, but we will see.}
Juventus? They surely have other targets such as Cavani, so he cant be one of their top choices! I dont know why Torres would move to Italy, Its not a great league?
So Drogba and Torres are likely to leave? that would mean having to bring in 2 top quality strikers ED.
20 May 2012 16:56:16
Contrags to Chelsea and Ed002.
From Jim22 (LFC)............
20 May 2012 16:32:19
hey Ed, is it true that we are really willing to pay 200 to 250k per week to hazard....coz if we are it is ridiculous......hazard is completely insane and stupid to even think about that sort of money......he expects to be paid much more than the likes of Drogba and Lampard who won us the CL...he may be a fine player but to think he would bully his way around on the basis of some good performances in an average league and against not even average sides just shows his disrespect for the game and pure greediness. {Ed002's Note - I have no interest in discussing wages, sorry.}
20 May 2012 16:25:04
Interview with Torres an he says how he wants to sit down with board and find out his place in the team and he doesn't want to be but part player, u really think. Ow that he will move on and falcao wil come to us, the new European champions, that sounds nice hey lol
Torres will be the main man next year.
I think he is getting good again.
20 May 2012 16:21:49
super well done chelsea you were brilliant hope you retain your cup next season from a chester fc fan
20 May 2012 15:57:11
ED002 what is the situation with Hazard? Will he reveal the club he is going to tonight? are man city still favourites? {Ed002's Note - Whilst he may yet again reveal where he wants to play, until a fee is agreed with Lille nothing can be formalised of course. Previously he has given plenty of hints - playing in North London, playing in blue, playing in Manchester, a stepping stone to Spain, moving to PSG ....}
20 May 2012 15:27:16
Ed are PSG still in the runnin for Hazard, or is it just The 3 English clubs {Ed002's Note - PSG are not.}
20 May 2012 15:26:30
Im a Sheffield Wednesday fan but I just want to say well done. Nail biting game but you pulled off in the end. It's been a blues season lets hope next years the same
20 May 2012 14:53:19

sussex gooner
You're deluded mate, deffo not getting modric, hulk i doubt it and when ibrahmovic leaves without bothering to rebuild it will be very very very funny.
Spurs man COYS
Haha bitter spurs fan ^^^
Typical spurs fan ^^ have fun in the europa league
Well Mr Spud you must have enjoyed last night then LOL!
It was the perfect night knowing you lot are relegated to the tin pot Europa League.
Now watch your best players walk and we will see where you end up next season.
One thing is for sure we wont be outside the top four so looks like a return to the mediocrity you so richly deserve.
Go back to your inbred life you spud person , modric will leave you now your in that tin pot europa league so glad we won the champs league you can only dream about trophys like this you muppet, whats it like to win f all you loser of a club.
20 May 2012 14:27:29
hi ed hazard to annouce who he will be signing for after to nights game apprently any ideas
jambo thanks and keep it up
20 May 2012 13:32:28
British PM David Cameron watched Chelsea's dramatic penalty shoot-out triumph over Bayern Munich alongside German chancellor Angela Merkel.
The pair saw the final moments of the European Champions League final played out on television together with other world leaders attending the G8 summit at Camp David.
As the drama approached its nail-biting climax Barack Obama was said to have diplomatically positioned himself between them as "referee". - great story

Drogba is the biggest Chelsea Legend ever. I think last night pushed him over Zola if he wasnt already. One of (if not the) best striker ever to play football.
D-Dot (Arsenal Fan)
20 May 2012 12:05:33
Expect us to sign Hulk and Modric this summer with Marin already coming in :) pretty good signings
I'd cut your Hulk expectations dead. Looks like we're buying Hazard instead! Far better player and wants to go to Chelsea for guaranteed first team football as he doesn't want to be on the bench at City
20 May 2012 11:43:01
European Champions! Brilliant eh? But we must thank the Editors who have been with us all season, I we all appreciate what you do!
It's been pleasure with you chaps as well!
WE'VE DONE IT LADS!
PR!
20 May 2012 11:36:50
Fantastic team performance yesterday buzzing from the game! I'll be at the Parade this afternoon who's gonna be there? I think us fans need to show Di Matteo what he means to us deserves the job after winning the CL! Theirs only one Di Matteo!

Congratulations from a Manchester United fan
I was in Moscow in 2008 and one of my remaining memories will always be the humility and respect shown to Manchester United by the Chelsea fans. Part of me wished we could have shared the trophy but you lost on the horrible lottery of penalties.
Well you won one last night, what a great feeling. The irony though is wouldn't Drogba have taken the final penalty in Moscow over Terry

Hi ed, i hope you had a good time celebrating last night!
but back to transfers, their is a really good piece in the sunday telegraph about hazard, saying that their was a breakthrough in negotiations on friday? true?
thanks ed
COE (Champions of Europe) {Ed002's Note - Thanks and please see other answers.}
20 May 2012 09:32:42
Chelsea can sign whoever they care to but they should pleeeeeeeeease leave Drogba for us. Even if he has to sit on the bench get only 10mins of play to keep fit. He can always come handy when occasions like that of bayern presents itself. Chelsea for life.
20 May 2012 08:42:45
Just want to say congrats to all chelsea fans players and staff. You showed a never say die attitude.

20 May 2012 08:39:48
Still trying to find words to describe how I'm feeling!!
Never been confident with Cech for pens but - wow - he was amazing!
Bosingwa and Luiz put in solid, no fuss, performances but Cahill and Cole were a class apart last night!!
I can't remember Obi Mikel having such an assured performance both defensively and with the ball! Lampards use of the ball was, as is the case 90% of the time, exceptional!
Bertrand, considering he was playing out of position and making his Champions League debut, looked every bit the quality youngster we all know him to be! Kalou and Mata, although quiet offensively, also put a big shift in for the team!
Drogba? Well he was just not going to lose that game, him slotting that pen away went straight to number one on my all time footballing memories list!!
Surewould
20 May 2012 07:58:36
Ed, have u heard anything about chelsea reaching an agreement with Lille for Hazard this past friday?
Congrats to all blues fans, this is our time. Like the saying goes "it was written in the stars for this to be our time". Love u all.

dear ed..is it true that hazzard will come to chelsea? {Ed002's Note - It is not possible to say that he will come for sure.}
20 May 2012 06:57:46
Congratulations!!
Nobody can take that away from you, you done it the hard way, barca in the semis and then bayern in there own back yard, you have waited 5 long years to put right the night in russia when we beat you on pens. Drogba is just the man!! the old school defo deserve a CL. WELL DONE AND ENJOY. cya nxt season.....

Hi Ed, Needless to say absolutely overjoyed at the win, hopefully Di Matteo will be given a chance now. On to different matters, obviously lately there has been a lot of paper talk about the potential transfer of Hazard. In his classic fashion he has fuelled the rumours with the Manchester reference on twitter, vintage Hazard antics. This aside, I was wondering do Chelsea have a genuine interest in him and is there any potential of an attempt to sign him this summer? I understand the issue most likely remains with his attitude, however he would be a wonderful addition to the team. I would like to see us match Manchester City's ambition.
So proud to be a blue today.
Thank you for your time, you do a great job.
Joe {Ed002's Note - Nothing has changed in respect of interest but there was been a proposal made to see if Chelsea's well known concerns could be addressed to see if Chelsea would be willing to put an offer on the table.}

Hazard rumours starting to kickstart again, anything genuine or just paper talk?
20 May 2012 01:02:59
Congrats to all blues fans.
Hey ed, did chelsea have any recent discussion with Lille about Hazard as reports suggest they had a breakthrough in negotiations on frigday. Any truth in that?
DASTANJ. {Ed002's Note - As I mentioned, all that has happened at the moment is that a representative of Hazard has made a proposal (not on Friday) about trying to resolve the concerns the club have to get them to put a firm offer on the table.}
The concerns the club have are that he has basically prostituted himself around the top clubs of Europe, he needs to stop talking and let his agent get the best footballing deal for his client, hes going to get paid roughly the same i would imagine where ever he goes, he doesn't need to be commenting on every club daily though, which is why i believe the important person at Chelsea has a problem with his attitude.
PB {Ed002's Note - Broadly the issues with the player are twofold: (1) he has had some well publicised issues at Lille (leaving the stadium after being substituted etc.); and (b) the constant "playing" with teh media as you say. The same person has additional problems with his agents who are being seen to be perhaps "prostituting" the player for gain. Financial agreements have to be negotiated with Lille rather than agents or representatives. Lille are willing to talk to any interested parties once the season concludes in France - which is today.}
20 May 2012 00:56:34
Chelsea to sign Hazard, if he sorts out his attitude he would be a wonderful addition, he is my favorite winger but he needs to sort out his attitude.
PB
I did post a source link to this but it hasn't been included for some reason.
