Ed what is a homegrown player? Blueblood {Ed002's Note - I know it is confusing, but it is a player of any nationality who spends three years playing in England between the ages of 18 and 21. Homegrown of course was something else entirely back in the day.}

Believable1 Unbelievable0

Oh that means Victor Moses would class as homegrown :)

Agree0 Disagree0

Hence the interest.

IB.

Meaning Chelsea are playing things very slyly at the moment. Players like Piazon and Lukaku will be homegrown if they stay at the club for 3 more years. Will be the same with the Mosunda brothers in a few years right ED? So in a few years Chelsea will have a lot of homegrown players for the FFP rules?
Chelsea Nick {Ed002's Note - It will be the same for anyone who qualifies - but it is nothing to do with the FFP rules.}

Agree0 Disagree0

And also why Mikel is classed as homegrown, and wont be sold while he is capable of backing up the holding midfield role (and why Mireles and Essien are likely to be sold first) - however bad the supportiers think he is.

Agree0 Disagree0

Ed, isnt a player that is trained by a club in english between the age of 15 and 21? {Ed018's Note - I think it's 16}

Agree0 Disagree0

Hi Eds,

thanks for all your ongoing good work. Q for Ed002; everytime someone asks about Modric, the implication from you is that we never have had any interest in him as a player (or otherwise). Was the continuous speculation last summer all fabricated then? Even the bid Spurs said to have turned down?

I'm just wondering what got the ball rolling really.

Thanks for your time,

AG {Ed002's Note - Please read the other posts.}

Believable1 Unbelievable3

My understanding ed002 is that we failed with bids for modric last year? Hence why we bourght mirelas (excuse spelling) as a panic buy right at the end of the transfer window because we needed that type of player. 1 more q, do you think chelsea are happy with mirelas cos im not convinced! Wud love Modric at Chels! DJCHELSEA4EVA {Ed002's Note - A better question would b is Meireles happy at Chelsea.}

Agree0 Disagree0

I know the answer to that question tho ed002, We are european champs! of course he's happy at Chels! Come on Roman get your check book out again! HULK, MODRIC AND A RB WOULD BE NICE!

Agree0 Disagree0

How about this for a squad of 22!
-----------Cech/Courtois------------
Azpiliqueta/keane-Luiz/Ivan-Terry/Cahill-Cole/Bertrand
Ramires/Mikel-Modric/Lampard
Hulk/Mosses-Lucas/Mata-Hazard/Marin
-----------Torres/Lukaku------------
Players to sell! Essien,Malouda,Mireles,Struiddge.
Would like to know what fellow Chelsea fans think? 5 players to sign 4 players to sell.

Agree0 Disagree0

Even consider selling essien and we'll have words

Agree0 Disagree0

Why the hell would you sell Sturridge and then go buy a greedier player in Moses. Fans need to stop wanting every player, we seem to be linked with. Raul has done good, he just needs to focus a bit more in his role and Essien needs a bit more time.

Agree0 Disagree0

Thanks for your reply Ed; I have been reading all the other posts over the last year or so, the more recent ones will resemble something like:

Ed is there going to be any interest in modric again this summer do u think? {Ed002's Note - Interest in Modric? Again?}

I've also seen you mention that you were not aware of any interest; does that mean that could well have been interest that you weren't told about? Or there wasn't any and the papers made it all up?

I realise it is probably the latter; was just wondering.

AG

Oh, and I also tried the search function, but it mainly just brought up people's dream teams; one was just a list of players that the poster admitted was "every player he could think of,"

Agree0 Disagree0

Essien isn't the same player he used to be, if you've followed chelsea closely it should be common knowledge. Long term injuries to his knees have taken their toll, i'm willing to wager he'll never return to his rampaging best of a couple of years ago. Plus he's heading for 30, chelsea would be wise to cash in, we have Ramires now.

Agree0 Disagree0

Is Meireles happy at Chelsea? Do you expect him to leave? {Ed002's Note - There is a good chance he will leave.}

Agree0 Disagree0

is it likely that certain transfers or deals have already been agreed, and the parties are waiting until 1 July to announce them.
Do you think you might be in line to be canonized in the future you have the patience of a saint. Saint Ed sounds good. Ben {Ed002's Note - There is nothing agreed and not shared that I am aware of at this time Ben.}

Ed did we ever have interest,or ever bid for modric,keeps coming across from you that this is the case,was it all media speculation as usual,dont want to leave my name in case you slaughter me,cheers... {Ed002's Note - I have no knowledge of any deal for Modric.}

Agree0 Disagree0

Thanks for that straight forward answer ,ed

Ed are Chelsea interested in Pastore again? {Ed002's Note - No.}

Believable2 Unbelievable2

21 Jun 2012 10:43:08
hey Ed...why do Chelsea have completely given up on modric??he is still the same player as he was last year and we were going all gaga over him.....and this time he is actually available...he is the ideal man for us.....a deep lying playmaker with hazard,mata,ramires and torres in front. {Ed002's Note - I have no idea what you are talking about - sorry.}

Believable0 Unbelievable5

Do we have intrest in Modric still? to put it another way. DJCHELSEA4EVA! {Ed002's Note - Still?}

Agree0 Disagree0

Run Forrest!

Agree0 Disagree0

Yes still?

Do chelsea want sergio canales {Ed002's Note - Canales missed most of the season with a crutiate injury but remains at Valencia. He is on a loan to buy deal and will probably not be moving next season. I suspect that the player has no interest in a move away from Spain as demonstrated by the previous interest of Manchester City and Arsenal being rejected.}

ED any interest in Rafael Da Silva from Chelsea?

Always Blue {Ed002's Note - Not right now.}

Ed could please confirm if Chelsea are considering bids for the following players this summer? M'Vila, Modric, Cavani, Adam Johnson, Neymar, Falcao, Srna, Walker, Lahm, Muller, Di Maria and Topal. Thanks for your time. - James13 {Ed002's Note - Please read the posts Adam. Try the search function - it can be fun.}

Believable4 Unbelievable2

You're on form this morning ED002.

IB.

Agree0 Disagree0

What happened to common sense... Fair play ed for restricting what you say haha

And to the guy who posted that, do you honestly think all of those players will be in blue next year? and please tell me you didnt add topal from Valencia on that list

hey ed, just wanted to know what happened to our bid for Azpilicueta, has it been accepted, rejected or still under consideration by marseile and is there a chance of us making a bid for schurle?
Thanks for all the time u spent on answering our questions, it means alot to us fans.
Dastanj {Ed002's Note - There is nothing happening in respect of Azpilicueta right now. There remains interest from Chelsea and elsewhere. Schurrle interest goes back to last year - at present I don't know of a plan to bid.}
