Ed do you know what the connection is between Chelsea and Vitesse Arnhem? Does Chelsea want Wilfried Bony and can we expect more players on lone next season at Vitesse Arnhem? {Ed002's Note - There is a connection between the clubs and someone is very close to both. It is perfectly possible that there will be further loans between the clubs. I would not expect Bony at Chelsea.}

I'll much rather we get Burak Yilmaz. Won't cost a fortune, pure class and has played at the highest level. Burak, Ba and Lukaku will do me. We can always bank on our midfielders for goals anyway! A worldclass defensive midfielder plus De Bruyne back and a little tweaking in defence, we'll be fine.
BB. {Ed002's Note - Gala are after a fortune for Yilmaz as they are aware of plenty of interest. They have expectations well beyond what was previously agreed with Lazio and Lokomotiv Moscow. Atletico Madrid remain very keen to discuss a move for the player.}

Ed, do you know what price Gala are now demanding for Yilmaz? {Ed002's Note - I really don't want to get in to discussing money uless I have to.}

Ed, is it true that chelsea had a 21 million bid rejected for Burak Yilmaz? {Ed002's Note - Not quite. Chelsea proposed a number to guage the reaction of Gala and it was suggested that they might like to come back and propose a much larger number. This was on Monday.}

Believable2 Unbelievable0

Ed, do you expect further interest from Chelsea in Yilmaz? {Ed002's Note - The point is he remains one of the players the club is interested in but they won't pay the price being asked.}

Greetings. Do you expect Chelsea to bid for Neilton of Santos come this summer? Cheers {Ed002's Note - I doubt it. Chelsea approached Santos about Neilton before Christmas and there is interest from Porto, Braga and no doubt others. I don't know if the enquiry led anywhere.}

ed, how long where Chelsea watching Oscar for before we bought him, and was there anyone at the club who pointed him out as a target or did he just shine out in the I believe U20 brazil squad, he is fast becoming my favorite Chelsea player.

Thanks Ed
Happy Easter
One Bomb Tom {Ed002's Note - Oscar was of interest since the U20 World Cup in 2011 and it was due to one person that the interest was there. The original plan was to move this summer but interest from elsewhere forced a move for him last summer.

Thanks ed

Any chance of finding out who the person was that the initial interest stemmed from Ed002? Understand if not.

Cheers {Ed002's Note - It really is of no relevance M.}

Agree0 Disagree1

Fair enough, just think it would be good if some credit was given to some of our backroom staff by numorous people on here. Cheers anyway ed. {Ed002's Note - He is not "backroom staff".}

Agree0 Disagree1

Thanks anyway ed, appreciable your time in answering.

Ed is it true we sent scouts to watch eriksen of ajax

Pinky {Ed002's Note - Chelsea have people watch many games but there is little need to specifically watch Eriksen. He has had two trials at Stamford Bridge.}

Ed, how much likely is it that we'll land Falcao? And btw, any truths to that Arsenal takeover bid? Will it go through according to you? {Ed002's Note - I cannot reasonably answer "how likely" questions. There are very significant changes in the pipeline for Arsenal leading up to the end of August 2014 - you need to ask about this on the Arsenal page.}

Morning ed can you clarify if Chelsea still have an interest in Jackson Martinez of Porto please {Ed002's Note - Yes but a move to Chelsea is very unlikely. Porto but they are prepared to cash in on Jackson Martinez with interest from Atletico Madrid, Chelsea, Manchester City, Juventus and Barcelona. Porto will seek his full release clause of 40M euro but would likely need to settle for less. Two bids from Juventus were turned down. Atletico Madrid are seeking further talks and seems his most likely destination right now.}

How many strikers do Chelsea ideally want in the first team? If Chelsea buy 2 strikers in the summer and bring Lukaku back, will Ba likely be sold? {Ed002's Note - Why over-complicate matters?}

Which positions are priorities for Chelsea in terms of signings this summer? Thanks,
Sam {Ed002's Note - Two forwards are the priority.}

Believable3 Unbelievable0

I would have thought that the priority is a prolific striker and a midfield enforcer, someone in the mould of Benat.

If we are after 2 strikers then I would assume that Falcao will not be one off them.

Chelsea have said that they will be in the market for upto 3 players, my prefernec would be:
Falcao (with Torres going the other way)
Isco - I believe we have first option the him.
Benat -
