ED,
After the match against Norwich City, it is much much clearer, we have a big big hole in the middle.

Our midfield is too wide open, no ball control, miss passes, no spread formation... and many more..

It can only be managed by, a center play-maker, synchronizing all the players in the middle and penetrating the opposition defense.

So, as you say, there is 100% chance we will sign a new play-maker; we fans are desperately looking forward to it, before the transfer window closes.

Another important thing is start Torres in the middle with Mata on the left and Lukaku / Sturridge on the right.

Long stay Chelsea. {Ed002's Note - I think you are perhaps reading something in to something I said that is perhaps not there.}

Id send torres out to the championship to find his level,hopeless tart he is,thx for the 50m,jimmybosun,

Hey ed, do you know anything about us being interested in Robben?

Believable2 Unbelievable5

Not a chance. not. a. chance.

Agree0 Disagree0

He is a player we sold, that should tell you enough.

Agree0 Disagree0

I know Mata and Lukaku were only on the pitch for 20 minutes, they looked bloody fantastic. Mata was making the runs, making the passes and even getting a goal in the making. Lukaku looked dominant and definitely one for the future. I still think we need that creative midfielder whether it lies in Ganso/Modric or Moutinho we need one
Cheers blue for life.

Believable5 Unbelievable1

Although they (Porto) were out-classed by Barca, I was impressed with Moutinho in the Super Cup game. A better player than Modric in my opinion.

Agree0 Disagree0

hi ed,
this isnt a rumour but there are many "reports" from other nations.

are there any nations that are particularly reliable or unreliable?

such as brazil, holland, france,spain.

much appreciation from a loyal blue. {Ed002's Note - It simply depends on teh news sources from those nations.}

Ed002: i know that fanatix is a lunatic site and whatever is being written out there never happens, but talksport is reporting we gave signed vdw for 32 mil euros. It sounds like a load of bs based on the amount quoted, unless they value both transfer fee and wages for, say 5 years.

I know you are out in France, but if hear anything, please update. Thank you much. Enjoy your time {Ed002's Note - I will.}

another signing comes in and we loan him out too??? explain what the point is?? we need a creative midfielder to sit in behind Torres.....Mata looked immense today as did Lukaku....but on another note Malouda was pathetically poor again as was Hilario.....surely we can get Courtois back to cover while cechs out.... {Ed002's Note - Chelsea are building for the future and it seems you have no nterest in the future. There is little point in me trying to explain to you.}

Believable4 Unbelievable2

I understand ed, we are building for the future but we are struggling in the present.

Agree0 Disagree0

Explain to me how hilario was "poor".

Agree0 Disagree0

We will have to loan Davila out as he does not currently qualify for a work permit.

Agree0 Disagree0

The team is now in a transitional phase. Players like anelka malouda lamps and the Drog can't keep going. The players coming in lack experience and are not yet ready for the first team so a loan is logical. Simples

Agree0 Disagree0

Then we buy a player and loan him out , blood him now and let Cech fight for his place , cech can be a bit of calamity at times , he needs competition and ross turnbull and Hilario dont provide this .

Agree0 Disagree0

27 Aug 2011 20:36:52
Do you reckon we even need a new right-back just yet? Bosingwa has been incredible in the last 2 games, we all know how good Ivanovic is at right-back and we could do a lot worse than have Paulo Ferreira as our 3rd choice right back and I'm sure even David Luiz could cover there in an injury crisis

Believable7 Unbelievable1

I think Luiz would be fantastic at right bk or holding mid as he prefers to play higher up the pitch. I think at CB he can sometimes become a little exposed and be forced into some rash challenges. Avb should really look at turning him into one of the best holding mids around or wing backs.

Agree0 Disagree0

27 Aug 2011 20:32:12
has Ulises Davila gained a work permit or is he being sent out on loan? he looks a great prospect and would hate to see it wasted. thanks {Ed002's Note - He has no work permit at present.}

Believable1 Unbelievable1

So there is a possibility he will get one? {Ed002's Note - He will get one but he will be out on loan this season.}

Agree0 Disagree0

27 Aug 2011 20:26:42
Hey ED have you got any information about the new Mexican kid we have just signed. {Ed002's Note - It has been on the cards for a while and he will be going on loan.}

Believable1 Unbelievable0

27 Aug 2011 20:25:38
Hi Ed, i just got news from a reliable source that there was pressure on AVB to play drogba so as not to make him feel that he is second fiddle to fernando..wats ur say on this Ed {Ed002's Note - Pressure from whom? It is not how it works I am afraid.}

Believable2 Unbelievable2

27 Aug 2011 20:02:52
wat s the news on kakuta, he s no where to be seen wat r the plans for him ed? {Ed002's Note - He will be going out on loan - a deal was struck with LOSC but that did not appeal to him so a loan in the Premier League is being sought.}

Believable3 Unbelievable0

"ed" do you think that arsenal could be an option or would we be unwilling to loan to a rival. i think he would suit their style of play and would virtually walk into their current squad. {Ed002's Note - There would be no problem loaning to them but I doubt i will be an option.}

Agree0 Disagree0

27 Aug 2011 19:50:08
pls Ed, apart from our latest signing(davilas) do u think we could sign more players before the transfer window ends and if yes,what areas do u think we could strengthen before the window closes. thanks Ed {Ed002's Note - Please read over the posts from the last couple of days - I have explained where we are at present. Perhaps search the Chelsea Rumours on de Bruyne.}

Chelsea have signed the Mexican Ulises Davila

Believable7 Unbelievable1

27 Aug 2011 19:37:24
Ed, its on d chelsea website that we've signed 20 yrs old attacking midfielder ulises davila, but my question goes thus, why should we sign a midfielder that will not break into the first team straight away, u and i know that lampard will continue to play for us(unless a renowned midfielder is signed) without posessing that creativity needed. i don't know if player power plays in here but all i know is that it s***s sometimes to see this happen. pls Ed could you share your thoughts on this with me..thanks.. {Ed002's Note - He will go on loan to the Netherlands. The club has lots of players who will not break in to the first team right away.}

Believable3 Unbelievable0

Davila is a striker

27 Aug 2011 18:29:39
Hi ed do you know anything about Drogba's injury it looked nasty he was on the floor for ten minutes {Ed002's Note - Nope, sorry.}

Believable0 Unbelievable1

Ed wld u pliz call or find out about drogba. I would appreciate you maybe far from him now surely you can do something. thanx {Ed002's Note - I'll get right to it. I am sure the club will say something at the appropriate time.}

Agree0 Disagree0

Drogs has been released from Hospital after a scan with mild concussion.

Agree0 Disagree0

Mild concussion he was out cold for ages they had to lift him on the strecher

Agree0 Disagree0

He went down like del boy in ofah,when he fell through the bar,lol

Reports of signing vanderwiel for about 30m euros. Any truth Ed? {Ed002's Note - I know nothing of it I am afraid. I have not been around today and I am not in England - perhaps late this evening there will be some news.}

Believable1 Unbelievable1

27 Aug 2011 14:03:38
Ed just a thought but didnt AVB agree to come to chelsea as long as he had full control over football matters i.e transfers.All players brought in and still getting looked at are players we were linked with long before AVB took the job.Neymar,Ganso,VDW,Modric,Lukaku.
Not that im complaining but im sure the manager can only be judged on his buys and tactics,like last season carlo i feel was bullied into playing certain formations and players that he didnt want.He was not allowed to purchase players which he wanted and i believe thats why there was a sense of discomfort in our squad last year.3 points today and nothing less is needed,lets kick start our season and get torres firing.In AVB we trust.2 more players needed i think and we can push on for all trophys.
A CAM and RW.Hazard and sneijder would be my pick,im sure there would be ways around sneijders complications. {Ed002's Note - There was no such agreement.}

Believable2 Unbelievable1

27 Aug 2011 18:00:48
Ed: I really feel we need a creative midfielder, a genuine right winger with a driblling quality...and if this things are fulfilling than i believe that we are going to be the champion of the europe which not only our owner but we are also eagerly waiting to see...

Believable1 Unbelievable0

27 Aug 2011 17:08:32
been a chelsea fan since i can remember and i dont think ive ever enjoyed a match as i did today mata and lukaku looked amazing and ramires is the most under rated player in the prem. even if we dont sign anyone else i think we will be fine, just have to sort out the defence because at times it looks unorganised but what a great game. arsenal fans must be so gutted right about now

Believable4 Unbelievable4

Christ, you're easily impressed...as they say, one born every minute.

Po

Agree0 Disagree0

Mate I thought we were a shambles at time our midfield must be the slowest in th premier with mikel keep passing sideways and malouda lauhing when he loses the ball , ive seen better performances then this . the score papered over cracks .

Agree0 Disagree0

Not at all, i just think we're witnessing a new era at chelsea. i think this is finally no longer mourinho's team who i will always love and be grateful to but im optimistic for the future, especially as we're not even playing to our potential yet. and i disagree about mikel, does well as a holding midfielder and his passing range is actually better than given credit for. plus our signings this summer have been great and loads of youngsters coming up.

Agree0 Disagree0

Not a great performance but many posotives to be had from it/ Mata looked good Sturridge and Luiz coming back I am quietly opptomistic

Agree0 Disagree0

27 Aug 2011 15:22:41
Watching the CFC-NC game. First 20 minutes are the worst i have ever seen from Malouda. He is just horrible. Almost every pass is misplaced and wrongtimed. Pure horror.

Believable10 Unbelievable2

Hope Mata is played instead of malouda now in every game

Agree0 Disagree0

27 Aug 2011 15:10:38
Hi ed...as I think spending money for a player like ribary will be mistak for the club nothing more it would be better to go for our old player rubben he is more better than ribary.

Chelsea squad -

Starting 11 Next Week -


Cech

Bosingwa - Luiz - Terry - Cole

Ramires - Lampard - Mikel

Sturridge - Torres - Mata


Bench -

Hilario - Van AnHolt - Ivanovic - McEachran - Malouda - Drogba - Lukaku

Players Left Out -

Nicolas Anelka
Salomon Kalou
Yossi Benayoun
Gael Kakuta
Ryan Bertrand

When next weeks match comes around Daniel Sturridge will be available to be pick again after his suspension will have been lifted and should start, along with Juan Mata having over a weeks training with his new team i also see him starting. The notable left out players as listed above all should be looking for other clubs to continue there careers because i really cant see them making an impact for Chelsea anymore.

Anelka, Kalou and Benayoun should all be moved on and sold which would also free up some non home grown quota spots and also bring in excess of £15m and free up around £150,000 - £200,000 a week in wages which is close to £10m over a season. I also expect Ryan Bertrand to be loaned out for the season. Gael Kakuta could be sent out on a season long loan for be kept as cover if Kalou is sold and could feature in early FA cup and Carling cup games.

I believe Chelsea has a bright future and if some of the dead wood is sold we will be able to not only reduce our wage bill which is our biggest outgoing but free some places in the squad for academy players and players for the future like Lucas Piazon who comes in January and Mikel Essien who will be back around Febuary.

We had a weekend off.. So im just in london to chill and watch a few games, nothing more. .

Surely can't be true,can't see him going to London to chill and play games? Can do that in Holland something is defiantly going on here, ED have you got anything yet? {Ed002's Note - Nope - I have been travelling. Equally I am in Toulouse to watch a game and "chill" (you know, hang with my posse).}

27 Aug 2011 12:58:34
Eds, in your own opinions do you believe that with the current Chelsea squad as it is, AVB will be able to compete with the likes of Barca and Manchester United for the CL and PL. I have my doubts as I still think we lack a little down the right and in the centre of midfield, but at the same time I believe in AVB. {Ed018's Note - we certainly will be able to compete on all fronts but i do agree that we need another central midfielder in there}

Believable5 Unbelievable2

I think we need right winger rather than a central midfielder...

Agree0 Disagree0

27 Aug 2011 12:42:47
Dutch press reports are saying that Chealse have agreed deal with Ajax for Van Der Weil, so if he is on a plane to London he is heading to Chelsea for medical.

Believable6 Unbelievable1

Bulls**t

A month a go i would be the first to celebrate this, but Boswinga has been very good this season (going forward at least, not sure about defending?), i hope a new RB signing wont disrupt his confidence.

Hi Eds, The talk is that Gregory Van der Wiel is on his way to London to talk to an unspecified club. Any truth in it? Thx {Ed002's Note - Not sure - I have explained what little I know in a response to another post. It would be good if Gillhaus has persuaded him.}

Hi ed is it through that chelsea is preparing a bid for Ribery? {Ed002's Note - Personally I rather doubt it. If there is interest in a Bayern Player then Robben remains more likely - but that would depend on Pereira not happening as well.}

Would love to see Robben back at the Bridge.

from the (verfified) Gregory Van de Viel twitter "in the plane 2 London".Any thoughts on that one ed. {Ed002's Note - I don't know anything beyond what was discussed teh other day - that Chelsea have been trying on and off all summer but the player was keen to stay at Ajax another year. If he is flying to London then it seems he has been persuaded that a move is a good plan. There were no financial issues and Ajax would welcome the money.}

Hi ed...as I think bidding 40millun for modric it is alot of money,with this much money chelsea can buy a player like sneijder and neymar why the club want to spend this much money over modric,if spurs do want to sell him. {Ed002's Note - I know nothing of such a bid for Modric, but it is perhaps not as simple as you think buying the likes of Neymar and Sneijder.}

Believable3 Unbelievable0

27 Aug 2011 08:24:40
Hi ED: Can you please answer one question?Why we are after Modric so much...as it is clear that tottenham(spelling) are just playing with us and the player is too overpriced at 40 million...I don't believe that we didn't have any other players for that role in our list...Instead going for him why are we not going for the other players??And if Modric really wants a Champion League games regularly and a world class team why he has been so mum on the matter??Chelsea for life {Ed002's Note - I know nothing of Chelsea's interest in Modric I am afraid, so can't help you. However, Modric has remained "mum" on the matter as he is contracted to Spurs.}

Hi ed love the site, any chance of ganso or neymar going to Chelsea,, thanks ash {Ed002's Note - There is a chance in the future but I very much doubt anything will happen this summer. Chelsea do have someone in Brazil with a view to talking to Santos, but they are not going to entertain any though of a deal in the short-term. So again, nothing changes.}

Believable3 Unbelievable0

So this story of Neymar to Real Madrid has softened lately. There was another doing rounds about a sort of pre contract. I know this ain't valid per se, but do remember the how Figo went from Barca to RM? I remeber watching a documentary, where Figo was telling a story about that transfer himself. He said that he signed a pre contract agreement with then and now president of RM and that revoking that deal would cost him more, than he would earn at Barca in a few years.

I've read here that you have dismissed this "pre-contract" idea, but this was done by the same people back in a day and i am afraid it could be done again.

This is one of those times where i want to be wrong. I hope i am. {Ed002's Note - It would be illegal so it is simply not going to happen. Any contract has to be with his club.}

Agree0 Disagree0

26 Aug 2011 23:40:21
hey ed, what are our chances of signing Luka modric now that tottenham have declared he will stay and play at manchester city. If chelsea put a bid in of £40 million surley ed, that will be enough to tempt spurs. What do you think? {Ed002's Note - No idea sorry.}

Believable2 Unbelievable1

Oh yeah lets just mug romans money away for over priced players. ie torres. laughing stock
