one more question if I may Ed002, this thing the mirror is saying about a 70 £ mil clearout this summer is absolute bulls**t right? of course some of the players on their list might be leaving, but all of them, and at those prices are VERY unlikely right? I mean Essien at 10 mil £, he might had a season abit below his standards, but come on, he still has highest passing succesrate in league. {Ed002's Note - I am sorry but I never read the newspapers, so I don't know what they have said. But £10M for Essien seems rather low.}

Hey Ed002, hope you are doing good. After Villas-boas apointment there has been some papers linking us with Moutinho, is this pure speculation or are we actually interrested? {Ed002's Note - I suspect it is speculation. The suggested money id on the very high side.}

Hi Ed,
With wallace being a prospect for the future.
Do you also think (like me), that the long term plan for the central midfield places, are likely to be taken up by Josh Mc holding & Piazon attacking. {Ed002's Note - Well, broadly that may be the idea - but they are real young right now. I expect that McEachran will get the chance of a loan. Lucas is arriving in January - we takle it from there unless AVB has other ideas.}

Hey ed, could you pleaseeeeee shed some light on the Neymar situation. Has he agreed a deal with real madrid or not? Because i cannot see how a player can change his desire so quickly from signing for one club to another. Zahavi was in brazil so why hasnt he negotiated the deal yet? as i thought he was a TOP agent {Ed002's Note - You need to understand that nothing was going to happen in the short term. Feel free to complain about Pini until you hear through the press.}


Fair enough Ed, so that means all is not lost regarding his signature? one last thing....do you think he will sign before copa america starts?

{Ed002's Note - After months of abuse of me, you now have a new Ed to abuse. Ask him.}

Hi Ed002, hope u had a good time in tel aviv and ur other travels!

we spoke about wallace a while back but how likely would u say chelsea to sign him is?

Thanks keep up the good work and forget the numpty's!! {Ed002's Note -Hi - Wallace will happen. A better question may be "would Chelsea use any of their Fluminense options as trading for another player?" Perhaps something to think about in the longer term.}

Any Ed.

Firstly, Now that AVB has been appointed do you see a paradigm shift in regard to acquisitions over the summer or will our previous targets remain so?

Secondly, is there any proof to the rumour that AVB has a contract guarantee NOT to be sacked in the first 2 years of his tenure?? {Ed002's Note - No, and No.}

Ed002... Is there any chance you could grab your teddy from the corner and learn to ignore the idiots? {Ed002's Note - The problem is that I am accused and abused that a certain player has not joined, regardless that the international transfer window is not open. Somehow it is my fault. I am subjected to a foul mouthed attack and I am unwilling to tolerate that. It is not just once that this has happened. It is easy to ban folk, but for me I have tried to be honest in sharing things but it remains clear that, at least for Chelsea, this is not the forum to do so.}

Fair enough but are you still confident we will land him as before?{Ed002's Note - You just have to wait. I explained that nothing would happen until after the game was over. I will wait until I hear further news now.}

Where do you see Falcao fitting in to the current team/system if, as reports suggest, we are trying to sign him. His playing style seems to be very much suited to a 4-3-3 formation which isn't something that our current formation/group of players really suit, no more so than Torres.

Would it be fair to assume that fairly strong changes are expected with both the playing staff and naturally the system that the team is playing. I understand we are not playing Championship Manager here, but is the appointment of AVB at such a young, precocious age seen as a fresh start by the club and the heads at the top, by which the club can start to head out of it's current transitional phase by looking to move on some of the older players?

---------------------------------------------------

4-3-3 has been Chelsea's formation for the best part of the decade! Of Course he would fit in! But on the other hand, we already have Torres and Drogba to fill the position that Falcao plays, so I doubt he would get into the starting line-up.

Also, Hulk would be PERFECT for Chelsea's 4-3-3 formation, and he would play RW, but his release clause is close to £100mill so unfortunatley it would be highly unlikely that we sell him :(

Moutihno is also perfect for chelsea as an attacking midfielder, and it is likely that we would buy him.

Ed, is there any chance of Wesley Sneijder joining us? with Villas Boas now as manager because he clearly represents the overall complete number 10 creative player that Chelsea desperately need. {Ed002's Note - He has been looked at so there is a chance.}

I have just seen a report that Chelsea are looking for buyers for Fernando Torres...
Surely Chelsea are not going to sell him without giving him the chance to show what he can do in a system suited to him???
Your thoughts Ed??? {Ed002's Note - None.}

Hi ED! You dont really think that Chelsea would sell David Luiz after only having half a season with them would you? Roman would be making a huge mistake if he does as he is the future of Chelseas back line!
Your thoughts on this please ED!
Thanks again! Love this site! {Ed002's Note - If the players says he wants to leave, then of course.}

OK thanks! Do you know if he is interested in a move?

{Ed002's Note - Last I heard was just before the end of the season and he was very happy. There was a couple of players who were unhappy and they will be leaving in any case.}
Ed002 Who were unhappy players?

{Ed002's Note - We are not going there either.}

Ed, When do you think the Neymar situation will become clearer? frankly i have no idea what to believe, sick of the media, contrasting reports, but maybe they lean towards madrid? So do you know, are we talking days? weeks? Whats your feeling? Stay Rm or Chelsea? I dont care about facts or anything, just your gut feeling...coz mine is a bad one :(. Thanks Ed. {Ed002's Note - It is impossible for me to say anything about Neymar right now because it will lead to a major amount of grief from certain posters.}

The Daily Star report Porto striker Falcao has pleaded with Andre Villas Boas to bring him to Stamford Bridge. The striker has now become Chelsea's number one target and the Londoners believe they can sign the player for around £25m. As well as Falcao, Chelsea are set to bid for Barcelona's Dani Alvez. The new Chelsea boss is ready to signal his intent by offering £27m for the right back and is willing to use David Luiz as a make weight in the deal.

Staying at Stamford Bridge, the Mirror have today claimed that Chelsea are set for a transfer clear out with new boss Andre Villa-Boas highlighting the age of the squad as a massive obstacle in their quest for European success. The newspaper reports that Frank Lampard, Nicolas Anelka, Florent Malouda and Didier Drogba are set to be shown the Stamford Bridge exit in one of the biggest shakeups since Roman Abramovich's arrival.

So Ed, Barcelona rumor about bidding for DAVID LUIZ seems to be gathering pace.... Chelsea play their game but only demand players in exchange....I think Iniesta and Dani alves for Luiz would be fair!!

Chelsea will not sell David Luiz. He is loved by the Chelsea players and Roman is a big fan. He would not have spent that much money on him otherwise. Do you honestly believe we would sell him after 5 months? Honestly.

Chelsea defender David Luiz has emerged as a shock target for Spanish giants Barcelona.


According to Catalan publication Sport, the Brazilian international is seen by the Barcelona hierarchy as an adequate replacement for Carles Puyol, whois entering the twilight of his career.

Barca are being cautious over any such move, but are thought to be preparing a bid in the region of £30 million for the centre-back.

Hi, do you know of any players Porto were interested in? Or players that AVB admires particularily, just to get a gauge on what kind of players might be targeted by Chelsea. I realise that a new manager brings his own ideas so i was also wondering whether any of the long standing targets, Neymar, Pastore, Lukaku etc etc would no longer be targeted? Or whether it is to early to answer any of this? Thanks.

ed 02, now that santos has won the copa libertadores and they qualify for the world club championship does that mean neymar is going no where until january 2012 when that competition ends. and pls wats the update on sergio aguero since no one seems to be paying the amount alethico madrid is asking for. thanks in advance {Ed002's Note - The game was only last night so only now will any discussions begin. It is much too early to say what will happen, but I have explained a proposal has already been discussed that Neymar stays with Santos until January. Nothing has changed at the moment with Aguero. It is the same clubs interested and as has been said all along - it is all about money.}
