A lot of people putting teams on for next season and David luiz is not in most of them.So would I be right in saying sell him to barca £30m.After all Gary Cahill has shocked me,I didn't think he was that good until I watched him every week for Chelsea.The guy is a class act.

Luiz should stay hes needed decent player will adapt to prem soon and qaulity penalty last week.

Your right about Cahill much better than i thought as well. But for me Luiz is awesome, quick, 2 footed and can head, ok he will always make the odd howler but when he gets more experience he could be the worlds best. JT wont go on for ever and Ivan is a better Rb than a CB in my opinion so dont think it will be too long to see Luiz and Cahill as the 1st choice partnership

ESPN reporting Abramovich has decided to offer RDM a 1 year contract, is this true ED? {Ed002's Note - It is very likely but there is nothing certain about acceptance.}

Hi ed do you have any idea if RDM will accept or is he likely to want more than a 1 year deal? {Ed002's Note - As I said an inch or so above - "nothing is certain about acceptance".}

IMO the most important signings for us are a RB (as we don't have one atm, Ivanovic wants to play CB, and I'm fairly sure the prospect of playing RB all season will not appeal to him), and a Right winger, as again we do not have a natural right winger, Ramires played there under RDM but he is a CM.

Other signings for me should be one or two more attacking mids (depending on whether Malouda is staying), and another CM/DM if Essien goes.

We have signed Marko Marin from Werder Bremen. He is a natural right winger and i expect him to slot into the first team. On top of this we have Sturridge, Ramires and potentially Hulk who can play there so we should be good in this position come next season

hey ed. aussie chelsea fanatic once again. with the fifa club world cup coming along it is a showcase of chelsea vs athletico. i was wondering if courtois will be able to play against us. i will presume that he wouldnt but i thought that it is a huge experience gainer for him and want to know if you think that chelsea will let him play....


cheeers {Ed002's Note - The Super Cup and Club World Cup are different things. The Super Cup will be played in Monaco on August 31 - if it is a non competitive game he can play. But I have no time to check. The Club World Cup is in Japan in December.}

As there is decent prize money (last year the winners had $2.5 million) I doubt that he will be allowed to play. {Ed002's Note - That would not be a deciding factor and I am sure an exemption could be requested - and Chelsea would certainly not object.}

ED with Hazard in London during next week for the friendly with England will Chelsea use this as a chance to speak to the player? {Ed002's Note - Why?}

Because we want to sign him ED? {Ed002's Note - In order to sign a player the two clubs have to reach agreement on the transfer fee. Why would it be any different with Hazard. And have you thought that perhaps not everybody at Chelsea wants to sign Hazard.}

Then when will this Person let Chelsea know whether they have his permission or not? Can he not try and talk to the player to iron these issues out? {Ed002's Note - We will see what happens but nothing has changed as far as he is concerned and I would have thought that Hazard's recent behavior would not have helped matters.}

Chelsea should not even sign this kid he would be disruptive in the dressing room going on how arrogant and childish he has been over the last 6 months. I would much rather see a player such as Hulk who has seemingly expressed a desire to play for Chelsea.

Ed, will all loaned out players come back from their respectives clubs, even if they are going back out on loan to the same club e.g. Coutrois?

PR! {Ed002's Note - Yes, everyone will return if only for an assessment and talks.}

Won't Bruma stay at Hamburg, because his loan has been extended already. {Ed002's Note - No, there is an assessment for insurance purposes and paperwork that needs to be done if nothing else.}

Hey Eds, first off again thank u for the hard work put on this site.
Was Marin transfer to Chelsea quickly done coz of increased interest from Roma (i heard a bid was made by them) or Marin was already a transfer target for this summer and Chelsea wanted to wrap up things early.

Cheers,
J. {Ed002's Note - There was interest from other clubs ensuring Chelsea made a bid, yes.}

I think Chelsea should go for Arjen Robben instead of this wavering Hazard. He's got better experience, has pace, a fine footballer too and will be willing to come to Chelsea. Plus, for his age will be alot more cheaper and will achieve same result if not better than Hazard. Or, what do you think guys?

I actually don't think he will be willing comeback. Agree e would be great buy but don't think it's possible.


BTJ

I agree iv posted about this all ready but everyone jus hurls abuse at u for mentioning it

I thought we needed someone to assist Torres not want all the glory for himself.
Cfcmatt

That would be a poor investment, how long do you think Robben has left in top flight football in comparison to Hazard? It's clear to all footy fans that Robben is operating at his optimum level while Hazard has room for growth, more years of service to offer and not to mention resale value. It really doesn't need a scientist to decide which is the safer bet

To old for us now, we need a rejuvenation. Plus Hazard is more versatile in where he can play.

He just signed a new deal before the champions league final,

Carefree

Think as he has just signed new contract for the price we would have to pay I think going for the younger player in hazard would be best option, I love robben and think he is brilliant but hazard will become one best in world

hi ED
have chelsea got any serious interest in neymar?
also do you think we will go back in for lucas?
seems we want to try and build a team of lucas' {Ed002's Note - We will see more clearly what happens in Brazil during June.}

26 May 2012 09:37:00
Are Chelsea still in the race for signing Neymar ?

LOLZZZ {Ed002's Note - Race?}

No race for neymar. but chelsea should go for giulllispe rossi from spanish club virraeall {Ed002's Note - Never going to happen.}

If chelsea are going to enter a race for Neymar, I hope we don't sent Ron Gourlay, he doesn't look like he'd be too quick over a 100 metres

u guys are forgetting someone.......the cheapest and the best of the lot....shinji kagawa.....only around 20m....go for him chelsea!!!

i dont think any player playing outside england, spain, germany, italy or portugal should get a valuation of more than 30m.....its only because they would be untested against quality opposition!!


that is why i say again...go for kagawa!!

Dont go for kawaga from dortmund go for honda from cska moscow

Please do your best to make sure hazard doesnt come to chelsea. He is such a cocky chap and hes not that good anyways.

Finally someone who agrees with me on hazard i dont want him at the bridge either rumour has it hes chose united anyway so have fun united the only player under 25 id pay 30 mill for is aguero i wouldnt even pay that for messi its the team that makes him good not the player himself ur all disagree but whatever ronaldos the better of the 2

You wouldnt pay 30 million for messi?

He is very good but he has major attidtude problems

Question for ed,

If a player is on loan e.g. courtois at atletico( provided he stays) is he allowed to play agaisnt us if we versed the loan club in a match? Is this a rule implemented by fifa or is it a agreement between the parent club and loan club? Im thinking about the european super cup.

jono {Ed002's Note - No, he cannot play in a competitive match. The European Super Cup may be classed as a friendly though so I am not so sure with that.}

Hi,ed is it true that chelsea may bid for their former superstar robeen? {Ed002's Note - Very unlikely.}
