Hi eds have you heard anything about us having offered £34.8m for FC Porto's Jackson Martinez, which triggers his release clause? Thanks {Ed018's Note - not yet}
Believable3
Unbelievable2
Jackson is signing a new contract at Porto with an increased release clause of 50 million ending Chelsea's interest in signing the player
Agree0

Ed018, you say 'not yet' therefore do you expect us to bid for Martinez, as reports are stating he is in contract talks to increase his release cause, meaning we would need to act quick if we were to bid, thanks. {Ed018's Note - I would say you are correct. If his release clause goes up I wouldn't expect Chelsea to make a move}
Agree0

Why would Martinez agree a new contract with a higher release clause if he knows Chelsea will only buy him if it remains as it is? Why would he essentially stop himself from joining a top club? Doesn't make any sense to me.

Hi Eds. Do you envisage any interest in Suarez now that the Rooney deal looks dead in the water? Anyone interested in Torres as I'm assuming we;ll let him go? {Ed018's Note - no I just don't see that happening from the little info I've heard. Torres is avalible but I don,t know of any interest in him}

Wont Real Madrid be light with Strikers if they sell Benzema since they have already sold Higuain.

That's why there is no chance of this happening!

Following the rejected bid for Lewandowski you mentioned, will Chelsea follow up with an approved offer or look elsewhere? Thanks in advance {Ed002's Note - The issue is the player not the money.}

Hi Eds, I was wondering if there is any thought that Torres will leave in this transfer window?
Thanks {Ed018's Note - if they could find a buyer then he would probably be off}

Hey Ed, glad to see you're back. Are the rumors true that Monaco need to sell Falcao? IF this is true, could you foresee us going for him again? If not now than possibly the winter window? Again, glad to have you back. Cheers {Ed002's Note - No.}

Ed002, does Rooney's revitalised performance today represent a 180, and a desire to stay at MU or do you think our deal is still on the cards and it was kind of an audition, a stake for a 1st team start at the mighty blues?
Ps SO good to have you back, thanks for all your work on the site! {Ed002's Note - I really have no idea.}

Are chelsea interested in Gundogan ed002? {Ed002's Note - It looked like Gundogan would be sold in the summer and there was interest from Rubin Kazan and Manchester City. However, with Goetze going a season before expected, Dortmund will look to keep the player. It has been suggested that Manchester United might try and strike a deal for the player this summer that is not activated until next summer - that seems unlikely to me. Enquiries have been made by Arsenal, Chelsea and Real Madrid. I would think he will stay where he is this summer.}

Ed002 apart from Willian and a striker are the club looking to strengthen in any other areas before the transfer window closes? {Ed002's Note - There has been interest in a Mangala and Khedira as I explained, and there is interest in three youngsters for the future.}
