At the moment it seems Palmeri was wrong about Capello to become next manager (Thank God).
Kalou and Bosingwa not to be offered new contracts. (Not confirmed)

Anyone else think this Hazard story is getting a bit pathetic! I realise he's a quality player but to string clubs along is just a joke. I like the look of Lucas Moura, however what club rejects a £32 mil bid for a 19 year old! It's ridiculous! They're talking as if it's a derisory offer! What do other people think, and who do people want?
I'd love to see the following players but don't like to see fantasy football teams so these I think are realistic!
RB - VDW
RW - Moura
CM - I'm not really too sure, Schweinsteiger would be my favourite but we all know it's unrealistic! I'd like to see McEachran or Piazon get a chance but I've got a bad feeling Josh isn't going to cut it :( Piazon on the other hand is a genius!
CF - Falcao or Cavani
Let me know what you all think to my suggestions and if you think any of them could end up at the Bridge next season!
Chelsea Nick {Ed018's Note - at least if Hazard sticks to his word and announces where he is going next week, it'll negate a whole summer of questions of "who is in the pole position to sign him"}
Anyone whos had a proper look at lucas would understand why they would turn down that kind of money, yeh he may only be 19 but he could already walk into near enough ny club in the world and instantly improve the starting 11. the kid is everything that a world class player should be, and at only 19 is still no where near his peak which is scary. we get him and in a couple years we'll have to best player in the world at our club, eventually possibly even one of the best ever

Has the Hulk deal been agreed? {Ed018's Note - no}
23 May 2012 22:12:12
CFC have approached AM for Falcao. They are asking 60M Euros. Source: Ta Nea newspaper.

Hazard to united moura to us. Spready
23 May 2012 18:34:22
Hi Ed great site.
Two things. Do chelsea need to go through the qualifing stages of the champions league next year as they took tottenhams spot?
And is there any truth in a 100m€ bid for both moura and neymar ?
Thanks {Ed018's Note - they are directly into the group stages i believe.}
23 May 2012 18:08:03
Hey Ed, With Villareal being relegated it's most likely that Giuseppe Rossi will be sold. Any idea of who is interested in him? Thanks =] {Ed018's Note -there is some interst from some teams in Italy}
23 May 2012 16:33:30
Do chelsea want christian eriksen {Ed002's Note - Liverpool, Manchester City, Arsenal, Chelsea, Bayern Munich and AC Milan have shown an interest in Eriksen. He has already rejected both Manchester City and Chelsea but AC Milan remain the most interested club. The Milan Press Office are convinced of interest from Manchester United and they have let it be known that they expect a bid to be made by for Eriksen who remains adament that he will stay in Amsterdam for two more years before moving to Spain. Expect AC Milan and Roma to press if a bid is made by Manchester United.}
Such a shame that Chelsea could of had Eriksen for free but decided he wasn't good enough when given a trial when he was younger! Such a bad decision!

My preferences on players needed:
Cavani would be my first choice as a striker,second choice would be falcao used in a swap deal for Torres.
LW:Hazard,this guy has bags of skill and quality similar to a young arjen robben.Second choice would be jordi alba from Valencia.
RW:first choice would be hulk,second choice di Maria.
RB:Van der Weil or Richards unless ivanovic is happy staying in this role.
CAM:first would be Modric,second Lucas moura.
CDM:Javi Martinez
If we could purchase 5 of the above players I think we would have a great chance of pushing on in the league and retaining champions league.
I dont rate modric whatsoever and he certainly isnt worth 40 million or whatever spurs want for him. Moura everytime.
I agree with Modric not being worth £40m but with them not being in champions league ,they may be willing to sell for £30m which I think he is worth in today's market.With regards to moura,I don't watch a lot of south American football so I can only go on what I have heard.
I don't see Modric as a consistent performer week in week out. He plays well for one game then doesn't do a whole lot for a while. Same as a lot of spurs players (Bale)
Well spurs wont get anywhere near that and they will proberlly sell him to real madrid instead of us, has for hazard playing on lw he would proberlly be put in CAm to play for chelsea.
if we are going to buy anyone from tottenham it really should be kyle walker especially if we sell ivanovic most of the defence would be english and would constantly be playing togther
Modders not worth more than 25 mill
Hazard is right wing, di maria is left, alba is a left back, & modric over moura get real BLUEBOY1
This isn't football manager, we're not gonna be spending well over £100mill with the financial fair play rules coming in. I reckon we'll make 3 signings, with only 1, possibly 2 being an expensive one

Hey ed great job man
Just wanted to know the name of players whose contracts are expiring in the summer
and what is the situation with schurle and vdw {Ed002's Note - Drogba, Bosingwa, Kalou. There is nothing new on Schurrle or VDW.}
Do you know if the club will be offering Boswinga and Kalou new deals ED?
SHED END {Ed002's Note - There has been no decision that I know of.}
23 May 2012 11:54:48
Hi ed are chelsea interested in Llorente? i think along with Torres he would be brilliant {Ed002's Note - Fernando Llorente is interesting Spurs, PSG and Manchester City. Barcelona are considering their future options which may involve a move for the player.}
After watching the Europa League final, if you have to pick Llorente or Falcao, there is only one man! If you're spending that much money you might as well buy the best around! Everything about Falcao oozes class.

23 May 2012 10:38:45
Hi ed, With Drogba leaving, i was wondering what Chelsea's plans are with Sturridge, is he part of our future, play as a striker? {Ed002's Note - I don't suppose anyone has considered it.}
23 May 2012 13:10:15
Journalists have been summoned to Stamford Bridge - something is afoot. Gourlay is running round like a blue arsed fly.
Smilie
Is this for real? If so manager news or hazard news?
Ed can you enlighten us?
FT9 {Ed002's Note - Hazard news?}
Ed - Really or you pulling our leg?
Where did you get this info from anyway about journalists? {Ed002's Note - You, I assume, do not understand the question mark.}
Is it news about hazard ed?
Shaun {Ed002's Note - No it is not.}
Ed do you know what it is about? Anything of importance {Ed002's Note - Do I know what about what?}
What is gourlay going to report then? News about RDM ?
Come ed, don't keep us in the dark ;) {Ed002's Note - It'll be on both Twitter and Facebook any time now.}
Rather the honest answer from you ed?
Most of it is seemed to corporate stuff according to Rob Beasley. But it must be something important to actually summon journos to attend. Doubt it is about Hazard though. Possible news about the naming rights to the stadium maybe.
Smilie
Any news on what it was yet smilie or ed ?
ChelskiBlueBoi
Any news???
23 May 2012 12:55:08
Is Doumbia still an option if the likes of Falcao, Cavani and Higuain don't arrive? Sure Drogba would put in a good word whilst they are on international duty
23 May 2012 12:48:05
Is there any news on Gotze? I seem to remember there being interest in Jan, but i have not read anything since so i am assuming either he is unavailable or no longer a target for us at least?
Talksport today said chelsea have bid 32 million for him
23 May 2012 12:15:14
What arw the chances of hazard and hulk joining chelsea?
I think we will sign hazzard but not hulk might do but probably wont
Hazard is going to man utd
23 May 2012 10:18:33
Is it true that offers have been accepted, and negotiations are over with Hazard, and now we are just waiting his decision?
23 May 2012 08:13:47
Ed, have Chelsea had any offers accepted by clubs for there players? If so who?
FT9 {Ed002's Note - Yes, Marin.}
Yap eden may join chelsea as well as modrich
Who ever this Modrich is, I hope he's good.
23 May 2012 07:53:08
Would I be right in thinking that if we buy Hazard we won't be able to fit Moura in the team- vice versa? It would be nice to think we could have them both, can we?
23 May 2012 00:36:58
I know Chelsea have no interest I David Villa, but do you know what the situation is with him ed? He's currently injured but i heard Barcelona were looking to sell him to raise money. {Ed002's Note - He will likely be sold.}
Cheers, Do you know which clubs would be interested in him should he leave Barcelona? {Ed002's Note - No. At his age and value it will be tough to find a side. He has never wanted to play outside of Spain and I don't know that there has been any change in that view. Perhaps a deal inclouding another player is an option?}
Thanks! Maybe a return to Valencia as part of the Jordi Alba deal? {Ed002's Note - Perhaps.}
23 May 2012 00:03:31
Hey Ed, i was just wanting to know if you believe bertrand is a genuine replacement for cole. i know cole definately has more than a few years left but coming from someone with the knowledge would you say his potential is first team at chelsea cheers.
Aussie Chelsea Fanatic! {Ed002's Note - Much is expected of Bertrand.}
What will happen with van anholt then?
kings xi punjab chelsea brisbane roar {Ed002's Note - He will return to the club in the summer.}
22 May 2012 22:23:47
Ed, is Ivanovic likely to be first choice right back next season? Or are we looking at any others? (if so who)
Also, i'm interested to know who looks most likely to be leading chelseas strikeforce next season. {Ed002's Note - Try the search function.}
