ed018 do you think the club gave Hazard permission to tell the world where he would be playing? {Ed018's Note - i really don't know how that works as Hazard may have been one of the first big named footballer to announce where he is going via twitter}

Believable3 Unbelievable0

The club said he could as long as he didnt give any interviews ~ Skysports

Agree0 Disagree0

Hi ed, is there still ongoing negotiations for hulk? Thanks. {Ed018's Note - Hulk remains of interest, and i expect we will hear more regarding this in the near future}

Believable3 Unbelievable0

Sounds promising, hulk hazard mata, give Torres til January as if not performing with them quality players around him then a swap for falcao;

Agree0 Disagree0

28 May 2012 23:06:00
Hi Ed..
Thank you for updating all us Chelsea fans with your information.

In what position do you think Eden Hazard will play at in Chelsea now that he will join us. I know he can play wing and centre. {Ed018's Note - it wont be right back}

Believable5 Unbelievable2

ED018 which other position's do you see us strengthening now I would suggest a striker a centre mid and a right back and i think we will be fine ? {Ed018's Note - yea, a right back for sure. not sure if i see them pursuing a center mid this summer. we have alot of them in the team right now and hopefully Josh M. will see more time next season. and another attacking player for sure}

Agree0 Disagree0

The situation with Hulk is a bit strange ED018 would Chelsea play him through the Middle? another option may be schurrle my choice would be Falcao but folk at Chelsea have promised Torres more starts next year {Ed018's Note - Hulk usually plays on the right. i have a very hard time seeing Torres and Falcao in the same team}

Agree0 Disagree0

--------Mikel---Ramires-----

Hazard-----Mata----Hulk

----------Torres---------

That looks a good side we need a big squad Lampard would also get his fair share of games

BLUEBLOOD

Agree0 Disagree0

Ed you are a funny man! i love your responses into such broad questions!

!!Melbourne Chelsea Fanatic!!

Agree0 Disagree0

Lamps infront of mikel hes proved himself as a holding midfielder and mikels only had a few good games granted they were the times he needed to perform but besides the point

Agree0 Disagree0

Lol @ it wont be right back

Agree0 Disagree0

28 May 2012 23:03:30
ED reports now suggest the only thing stopping Hulk from moving to Chelsea is a £5 million pound difference in what Chelsea want to pay and what Porto want for the player is this accurate?

Believable9 Unbelievable1

Think Ed has confirmed this, are you offering?

Agree0 Disagree0

Can someone offer the extra 5 mill for hulk lol

Agree0 Disagree0

28 May 2012 22:43:00
When will Chelsea announce the signing of hazard if it true ed? {Ed002's Note - I would not want to guess.}

Believable5 Unbelievable0

28 May 2012 21:55:39
Hey Ed, would love to hear from u what u think and know about the Eden Hazard's rumours going around with the media reporting that he has chosen Chelsea instead of the Manchester duo, anything of note.
Dastanj {Ed002's Note - Right now Chelsea have the edge. There is no secret that there is interest and there have been discussions. Equally one advisor as you know has expressed (for a year now) concern over attitude and contact with the press (the pain in the neck factor) - so we need to wait some few days before everything finally settles but he has flown in and sat in on the discsussions over the past few days. One club (Chelsea) has spoken with LOSC and I suspect one or two more will have done today or will do tomorrow - and don't discount Real Madrid as one of those. Personally, a great deal if he cleans up his act - a problem at any interested club if he doesn't and even worse if he can't step up. So you can guess where I sit with this. And I am not 100% over Hulk either. If I had to wager my green back on this, it would be Chelsea with perhaps an announcement in a few days. All but done.}

Believable1 Unbelievable1

Sorry, could you clarify: Hulk is "all but done" or were you referring to Hazard? {Ed002's Note - Hazard.}

Agree0 Disagree0

28 May 2012 21:50:14
Hope its true.... If so ed when do u expect Chelsea announce it?! Cheers {Ed002's Note - We'll see.}

Believable0 Unbelievable2

28 May 2012 21:48:42
Ed, do you think he will actually sign, I know he has said he will but ya know, there's always the chance he could change. Also with him being in London this weekend, would that be a chance to finalise the deal?

PR! {Ed002's Note - Most probably but London does not matter here.}

Believable2 Unbelievable1

28 May 2012 21:44:53
ED do you know if its conclusive that h
hazard has now signed or is it all just more mind games? {Ed002's Note - See other answers.}

Believable0 Unbelievable0

28 May 2012 21:29:44
Ed, if the suggestions are true that we have signed hazard, and signing of marin, does this mean hulk is out of the question? Conisdering hulk playsvon the Right and hazard and marin play on the left? {Ed002's Note - No.}

Believable2 Unbelievable0

28 May 2012 21:23:51
eds any thoughts on hazards coments on facebook & twitter? cheers {Ed002's Note - See below (or above).}

Believable3 Unbelievable0

28 May 2012 21:20:11
Hi Ed, any truth in this Hazard story or just the usual malarkey? Cheers,
The Oak. {Ed002's Note - See previous answers.}

Believable3 Unbelievable1

28 May 2012 21:18:50
Given that we've landed Hazard, do we still maintain an interest in Hulk? {Ed002's Note - Yes.}

Believable2 Unbelievable0

28 May 2012 21:17:22
Ed002 do you know what the fee for Hazard is? {Ed002's Note - Irrelevant.}

Believable2 Unbelievable1

28 May 2012 21:06:03
Ed I know u watch a fair bit of French football, have we got ourselves a little gem in hazard?

FT9 {Ed002's Note - A great deal if he cleans up his act - a problem at any interested club if he doesn't and even worse if he can't step up.}

Believable2 Unbelievable1

28 May 2012 21:01:18
Now who's next? Who else have we put offers in for Ed? {Ed002's Note - Perhaps at the end of the week we can look to such things.}

Believable1 Unbelievable1

28 May 2012 20:59:56
lets piss off the manchester fans and mock them about us getting hazard {Ed002's Note - Try and play nice - a firm hand shake and a well emant "hard luck".}

Believable5 Unbelievable4

1 player does not make a team, chelsea need a few more players to be challenging for top 4,

Agree0 Disagree0

28 May 2012 20:52:58
ED002 Have Chelsea agreed a fee with Lille even if Hazard has said he's joining us?

Zola25 {Ed002's Note - Think of it as a package not a fee.}

Believable2 Unbelievable0

Is de bruyne or kakuta part of the deal? {Ed002's Note - There is a chance someone may go on loan.}

Agree0 Disagree0

28 May 2012 20:52:03
I know Hazard has chosen us, but does this guarentee that we have/will sign him? Do we still need to agree anything with Lille? {Ed002's Note - Some fuffy bits need resolving.}

Believable2 Unbelievable0

28 May 2012 20:46:37
Eden Hazard has tweeted he has signed for us! Can you confirm this Ed? {Ed002's Note - Broadly, it is correct.}

Believable1 Unbelievable0

28 May 2012 20:46:36
ED002 Hazard has just confirmed he is joining Chelsea? what changed when was the deal done? {Ed002's Note - It is not entirely complete, but getting there.}

Believable1 Unbelievable0

28 May 2012 22:45:11
Hi ED, has it been confirmed by the club that Chelsea have signed Eden Hazard? Or is he just making more controversy on Twitter?
Thanks and good job on the site.

TM {Ed018's Note - he will be joining Chelsea, and will be confirmed in time}

Believable2 Unbelievable0

Thanks ED!

Agree0 Disagree0

28 May 2012 22:21:30
Hi Ed, do you think Chelsea will loan Hazard out next season??? {Ed002's Note - No.}

Believable1 Unbelievable9

^obviously not

Agree0 Disagree0

Has to be the dumbest question ever

Agree0 Disagree0

Please tell me this is a joke question. No wonder ed gets annoyed. Idiot.

BTJ

Agree0 Disagree0

Hi Ed, When is a deal actually completed and confirmed? Surely not when a player announces it? {Ed002's Note - No - but it is very likely to go through.}

Agree0 Disagree0

28 May 2012 22:11:23
ED02 or ED018 now that it seems we have signed Hazard is a move for Hulk off for now then? both similiar player's who play in the same position? {Ed002's Note - They are not exclusive.}

Believable3 Unbelievable1

ED02 what changed then did the person with the issue with Hazard change his view of him? {Ed002's Note - Not entirely but he has sat in over recent discussions.}

Agree0 Disagree0

Any idea why he chose us over united and city ED was it money or guaranteed playing time? {Ed002's Note - No idea.}

Agree0 Disagree0

28 May 2012 21:30:49
why couldn't he have just said he joining chelsea? it wouldn't surprise me if hes goin to united..this lad is capable of anything!

Believable6 Unbelievable3

28 May 2012 21:27:35
Ed, will be Mata or Hazard wear the number 10 shirt for us next season? {Ed018's Note - really}

Believable0 Unbelievable8

Lol you're an person mate !

Agree0 Disagree0

Mata is such a nice bloke but cant see him giving up his number 10 shirt

Agree0 Disagree0

Mata of course. Hazard said that he wanted to play in the number 10 role....some parts of the media then twisted the story to say he wanted the number 10 shirt.

Agree0 Disagree0

28 May 2012 21:18:40
Guys 1. Its Eden Hazard and 2. Its twitter, until he has signed and he is at a Chelsea news conference i will not be getting my hopes up, he is my favorite winger and an amazing talent but we no how volatile transfers can be and especially how volatile he is.

PB

Believable9 Unbelievable3

Yer i gree ive asked ed on his thoughts.

Agree0 Disagree0

Pretty much a done deal. The club won't allow him to conduct an interview yet but have given him permission to tweet. All should be done this week, so its as good as done.

Agree0 Disagree0

Why would he want to insult Chelsea in that way?

Agree0 Disagree0

Exactly. There's teasing and then there is insulting. I doubt he would insult any football club, nevermind chelsea. That would ruin the guys integrity. Great signing

Agree0 Disagree0

I wonder if we are not announcing it because we want to announce with another piece of new e.g. Another signing. Never know. Fingers crossed

BTJ

Agree0 Disagree0

Ed002 has said Chelsea have spoken to LOSC today, and that he expects another interested party to make contact tomorrow. The reason it has not been announced by the club is because he is not a Chelsea player yet. He can say what he wants on Twitter, but we are surely in a strong position now. Still not completely sure about him and his tweeting, but he is obviously a gifted player.

Blue25

Agree0 Disagree0

28 May 2012 21:04:34
Fantastic signing.

Even more sweeter as we have signed him from the noses of both manchester clubs. This will HURT them.

Major coup. More to come but nothing will eclipse the HAZARD.

Nice!

Believable5 Unbelievable0

Sky sports news also have it on their breaking news banner; 'Eden Hazard announces he is joining Chelsea' ..... I'm not saying they are right, its just what they are saying

Agree0 Disagree0

I don't use twitter so dont know if this is true but if it is I wonder if that will blow away eds disdain for twitter? Seems it can be useful after all. {Ed002's Note - Wikipedia for the Txt generation? No.What about his recent twits? What about the death of Malcolm Glazer?}

Agree0 Disagree0

28 May 2012 20:47:14

28 May 2012 20:28:54
Ed. as we have parted company with drogba we are obv in need of a striker. Now we are linked with several and strongly linked with hulk. But as gourlay said last week that we may have 2 strikers who can score 25 goals a season in Torres and one more. Do we see hulk as that man or as a right winger which is where I believe he usually plays for Porto. Could we see hulk and another striker arrive in the summer. We def need a striker in case Torres does not start scoring?

BTJ {Ed002's Note - Hulk would not be a replacement for Drogba.}

Believable4 Unbelievable0

So can we expect us to try to sign a striker and hulk? Or will it be one or other

BTJ {Ed002's Note - Hulk is an unrelated issue to one striker or one and a young one.}

Agree0 Disagree0

28 May 2012 20:39:24

Thanks ed for the great work you are doing. Amongst chelsea, man city and man united, which one of these clubs has held talks with Lille football club in regards to hazard? Hussein {Ed002's Note - At least Chelsea.}

Believable1 Unbelievable0

Hey Ed002 your a great guy and you always make me laugh, you seem so educated also. I can only imagine what a great catch you are for any future potential suitors....

So i was just wondering...who is Hazard joining?

OsgoodIsKing {Ed002's Note - Post of the day. I am pretty sure my wives are not keen on other folks coming along and taking care of my personal needs. And of course wife #1/#3 was at Berkeley with me when we did our original degrees, so we are in good shape education wise.

As for Hazard I guess right now Chelsea have the edge. There is no secret that there is interest and there have been discussions. Equally one advisor as you know has expressed (for a year now) concern over attitude and contact with the press (the pain in the neck factor) - so we need to wait some few days before everything finally settles but he has flown in and sat in on the discsussions over the past few days. One club (Chelsea) has spoken with LOSC and I suspect one or two more will have done today or will do tomorrow - and don't discount Real Madrid as one of those. Personally, a great deal if he cleans up his act - a problem at any interested club if he doesn't and even worse if he can't step up. So you can guess where I sit with this. And I am not 100% over Hulk either. If I had to wager my green back on this, it would be Chelsea with perhaps an announcement in a few days.}

Agree0 Disagree0

28 May 2012 20:13:29
Ed if we sold brani do you think we will sign another cb or we try to bring up youth players like kalas and bruma {Ed018's Note - Bruma will be on loan again next season, not sure if Kalas is ready yet but it could be an option. I'd rather not see Ivanovic sold though}

Believable1 Unbelievable0

I don't want via sold, versatile centre back can't beat it! That bloke is seriously strong he's solid at defending, plays with determination BLUEBOY1 {Ed002's Note - A lot is expected of Kalas and two youngsters. I am pretty sure that Bruma will not play for Chelsea again.}

Agree0 Disagree0

28 May 2012 20:12:39
The eds have not said a lot on the hazard matter today! Why tht :/....??

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Because people are getting their Hazard fix from Twitter. The Ed's will announce something when it needs to be announced. {Ed002's Note - I can say that Chelsea have spoken with Lille and I ssupect at least one of the other interested clubs will either today or tomorrow.}

Agree0 Disagree0

Ed002 said earlier he was travelling at the moment.

Blue25 {Ed002's Note - Correct, I was travelling. No I am going to eat.}

Agree0 Disagree0

28 May 2012 20:09:14

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news but Hazard has signed a 5 year deal with Manchester United. The twitter Chinese whispers all pointed to Chelsea, but ive heard he wants to play for United. Hope im wrong but we,ll soon find out

Believable4 Unbelievable19

Stop making up rubbish and just wait for it to be announced!!! I swear some of you are more annoying than hazard himself!!!!

Agree0 Disagree0

Agreed just wait till he picks the team hes joining and then take it on the chin if he doesnt choose chelsea we can step it up for hulk then

Agree0 Disagree0

I think we should buy Hulk regardless of whether we get Hazard or not.

Agree0 Disagree0

He is going to chelsea

Agree0 Disagree0

Yer should still get hulk but i mean that can be concentrated on if hazard just says the team instead of draggin it on all night

Agree0 Disagree0

Well this is awkward. 100% truth behind this apparently.

Spot on mate waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

Believable3 Unbelievable8

Hamsik has just signed a new long time contract in recent months.

Agree0 Disagree0

I think u will find that yr post has no substance an is another ridiculous prediction from someone who clearly pays way too much attention to rumours on social media!!
Thank u

Agree0 Disagree0

The fact he has signed a new long term deal means nothing. look at falcau last year. although it is still unlikely

Agree0 Disagree0

28 May 2012 16:29:38
Does anyone know when the transfer window opens:
When players can actually sign on the dotted line,Marin and possibly hazard,hulk {Ed018's Note - July 1st for players not playing in England}

Believable1 Unbelievable0

28 May 2012 13:38:18
Hey Ed without throwing names out there Chelsea look set to sign 2 players buy next weekend do you also feel this is a likley scenario also.

BlueBen {Ed018's Note - its possible, but there's no timetable to get these deals done}

Believable2 Unbelievable1

28 May 2012 16:03:29
Which right backs are we looking to possibly sign this summer?
Is Richards a possibility since he isn't first choice at City anymore?
Thanks {Ed018's Note - there is interest in Azpilicueta and to some degree interest in Van der Wiel. I wouldnt expect Richards to be a possiblity}

Believable2 Unbelievable0

I think Chelsea would be appealing to Richards as he would have the chance to play with basically the whole England defence and therefore the chemistry between them would help him get picked.

Considering the sulking that went on regarding him not being picked i'd say that playing with our defence would be attractive; and he'd probably be first choice.

Agree0 Disagree0

I can't see Man City selling any of their players to us....being a direct rival, etc.

Agree0 Disagree0

28 May 2012 13:38:23
Eds reports that hazard is having medical at Chelsea.Can u confirm this as he's not currently with the Belgium squad. {Ed018's Note - i'm not sure that the report was correct}

RMC(Radio Monte Carlo,France): "Eden Hazard has chosen Chelsea. Chelsea FC will pay a fee close to €40m, including bonuses."

Robin Bairner(French football editor): "Eden Hazard to Chelsea is a done deal"

"Belga news agency reporting Eden Hazard will join Chelsea this afternoon"


ED, were the concerns by the Chelsea advisor over Hazard resolved then?

Thanks!

Come on Samir, let's just wait and see! You seem to be nearly as obsessed with Hazard as he is with himself. :-)

Don't listen to twitter re: Hazard. All this stemmed from an ''article'' in le10sport? which said Chelsea had won the race. Yet this article was never actually found because it was started as a rumour on Twitter.

Believable1 Unbelievable4

Sky sports just said hazard will tell which club he has chosen today at 4pm on twitter

Agree0 Disagree0

28 May 2012 12:59:30
Any truth in these Hazard rumours as in if he's on his way for a medical

Believable6 Unbelievable2

28 May 2012 12:59:07
Ignore the twitter talk about Hazard, but there is going to be an announcement this afternoon. Alot of the National papers are suggesting it will be Chelsea signing him and the same goes for the French press.

My only problem is that he would want to play as a No.10 and for me that is Mata's best position as well. Would he be satisfied with a role on the left?

Believable7 Unbelievable1

Where did you find out there will be an announcement?

Agree0 Disagree0

In the London Evening Standard (paper)

Agree0 Disagree0

I think Mata is gd on the left as well! Would be a gd pair up mata and Hazard and hulk

Agree0 Disagree0

Why does 10 automatically mean on the left?

Agree0 Disagree0

Number 10 is just a number, nothing to do with position! hes a winger, simple as that

Blue John

Agree0 Disagree0

Matta wouldnt need to go on the left he could stay in the center chelsea could play 4-5-1 i mean torres will score loads with that sort of supply and using lampard as a aquad player hazard lampsy mata ramires all of them amazing at going foward to back up torres if that is the midfield we end up with i honest think it is the best attacking midfield in the world

Agree0 Disagree0

I think if he joins, Hazard and Mata will switch around a lot during matches (between CAM and LAM), to confuse the hell out of defences that use man-marking systems, with either Ramires or Hulk bombing down the right *mouth waters*

Agree0 Disagree0

Luis Saha has said Hazard will join Chelsea? Agreed! I'd put Hazard Left, Mata Centre, Marin Right, Hulk as a Striker with Ramires and Young Josh sitting deep in midfield.

Agree0 Disagree0

.........ramires..lampard.......
Hulk.......mata.......hazard
.............Torres....... Sounds gd to me but I ain't believing until it happens. BLUEBOY1

Agree0 Disagree0

He's an attacking Mid now, hasn't played on the left all season. 20goals and 16 assists have come from that position. He's played on the left for Belgium, 1goal!!

Agree0 Disagree0

So where would Marin go in this dreamteam?

Agree0 Disagree0

Hazard is better than mata, end of.

Agree0 Disagree0

Mata better than hazard mate

Agree0 Disagree0

Marin would be on the bench, he wasn't bought to go straight into the first team.

Agree0 Disagree0

I think marin is better than all of them..... mata is goin to sruggle gettin in if we sign hulk. FACT. {Ed018's Note - Mata is not gonna struggle to get in the starting lineup next season, utter nonsense}

Agree0 Disagree0

28 May 2012 12:06:15
Hazard tweeted he has made his mind up, I know he like attention but is he on way to cobbana for medical??

Believable3 Unbelievable3

I know ed brushes off the twitter talk but alot of journos are reporting its a done deal. Should be further developments today I guess

28 May 2012 11:52:45
Good afternoon guys,I've made my mind up,See you later Thanks.

Newspaper editors are now reporting he will undergo a medical at Cobham Training ground later today having been given permission to leaving Belgium's training camp.

Fantastic news if true!
Zola25

Believable11 Unbelievable1

Over the last few weeks can understand why someone at Chelsea is wary of him. Have not seen him play but he is highly rated and with CFC MCFC MUFC all after him he must be good. Seeing the rumours of that he has chosen us picking up pace in the last hour. Let's hope so

BTJ

Agree0 Disagree0

Where u gettin the newspaper comments from?
Cheers

Agree0 Disagree0

He actually wrote a bit before that he was struggling to work out what to have to eat, later on he tweeted he made up his mind, could be something misinterpreted.

28 May 2012 11:48:56
There's a story going around that Lucas Moura is off to Real Madrid because Wagner Ribeiro 1. owes Florentino Perez money; 2. ballsed up the sale of Neymar to Real; 3. feels obligated to set things right as a consequence.

Real Madrid apparently alienated Neymar because of Perez's insistence that the deal be pushed through before 2013. When the player and his family expressed doubt and sought to delay the transfer, Perez turned overbearing and attempted to browbeat Neymar's dad into submission. This did not go across well. Neymar signed a new contract with Santos instead and disassociated himself from Ribeiro as a result. The player is supposedly set on Barcelona now.

Ivanovic has said that he will stay, Real Madrid have said that they are interested. Despite, the Van der wiel deal going close to through he will probably stay and VDW will act as a Bosingwa.

ED002 Eden Hazard has just said i have made up my mind see you later guy's as you said Chelsea would not sign the player without the person with the concern's consent so this must rule us out? {Ed002's Note - Twitter again? I would not rule any of the clubs out right now.}

Believable2 Unbelievable0

Yes ED but it is on his official page not a fake page but his own which he updates Do you know of any updates? {Ed002's Note - Clearly you have not yet grasped what this kid is like.}

Agree0 Disagree0

I don't think he could make up his mind what to wear each day, let alone which club to join. He is using Twitter to generate more and more social (and media) interest in himself....which in itself is, quite frankly, boring to the extreme. {Ed002's Note - It would be reasonable to say that at least one club has now spoken with LOSC.}

Agree0 Disagree0

What are you on about mate? Chelsea wouldn't have entered this race if they werent going to buy him! The person who has a problem with his attitude has probarbly been conviced and as for the deal. I remember recently there was a meeting with Hazard or his reps, im not not sure who to discuss the problem and it was likely resolved then allowing Chelsea to pursure their interest further so Chelsea are not means out of it :) Ollie22

Agree0 Disagree0

Maybe he has made up his mind that he likes baked beans instead of spaghetti hoops. I must admit i am just a tiny bit excited if this is true

Agree0 Disagree0

Who is that Club ED is it Chelsea?

Agree0 Disagree0

Ed who has spoken to lille?

Shak

Agree0 Disagree0

Have we discussed terms with him? If we haven't, and he's decided, then surely it won't be us he's coming to. Can Ed confirm if we have discussed personal terms with him? {Ed002's Note - With him? No. With his representative, yes.}

hey ed.....just wondering that if Courtois is loaned back to athletico madrid next season, is he allowed to play against us in the super cup???i know the rule exist with FA but have no idea about UEFA...are the loan players allowed to face their primary teams?? {Ed002's Note - I don't know.}

Believable0 Unbelievable0

I think the rule applys to european football as it does to fa im not 100% sure it depends wot the terms of the loan deal is if the super cup is classed as a "friendly" then he will probably be allowed to play likely hood is he wont be playing i might well be wrong though

Agree0 Disagree0

As far as I know it's something the respective clubs has to agree on.

Hi Ed s

Although i visit the site everyday and have done for a couple of years,i dont post very often.However i have a question for you. Are we at an advanced stage of negotiations, with any potential new signing at the moment? Ed, i dont need names just a "yes or no" and thanks for your great work.

Kind regards

Is it true Chelsea have set up something like an under-25 transfer policy? It was a bit of dodgy rumor I heard, but it would mean a player like Higuain couldn't join.

Devon. {Ed002's Note - All clubs look to having younger players - but policy, no.}

Believable2 Unbelievable0

Higuain is only 24.

Hey ED have chelsea signed hazzard yet or any other players? {Ed002's Note - Marko Marin.}

Ed - the club are potentially signing a fourth Belgian in Hazard (if it happens).

Is there an intentional policy to group talented players of the same nationality together (better bedding in and cohesion maybe?) or is Courtois, De Bruyne, Lukaku and potential signing Hazard purely coincidence.

Cheers {Ed002's Note - No, just coincidence.}

Add fellaini aswell lol

did chelsea's board set a deadline to which a new manager will be appointed ?

LOLZZZ {Ed002's Note - The board would like the managerial situation clarified as soon as possible, but there are no fixed dates.}

Hazard signing would be great if it can be done. Not going to get my hopes up high because after all its been like a hollywood flick and im sure theres more twists yet. Hulk on the other hand will be a good signing if we can get him for around 30 mil.

Anyhow good work Ed, not been on much but i have been following posts here and there. Thanks again for the work.
