No, but a bet on Modric.
Agree0

Sneijder is twice the player of modric, if only he would drop his demands? I think we would win the prem with him and our other signings. If we do get de bruyne we should keep him as he is good enough for the first team!

Chelsea FC are seriously considering a move for Napoli’s Marek Hamsik in light of the fact that Tottenham Hotspur will not allow Luka Modric to leave.
Tottenham’s Harry Redknapp had suggested that “someone” was trying to play with Modric’s mind so that the White Hart Lane side would then look to give up and allow the Croatian to move on however with only three days of the transfer window remaining, chairman Daniel Levy is standing strong on any movement.
Chelsea are in need of a playmaker and reports suggest they are willing to pay up to £40m in order to get the right player. Whilst Moutinho and Ganso have also been mentioned in the past, a deal for either of the two looks unlikely this summer however the West London club have now made enquiries into Hamsik who, on paper, would fit the bill perfectly.
Whilst Napoli’s stance is that they do not wish to sell, they are certainly to be tempted by offers around £35m plus, and a move for Hamsik this summer currently looks more likely than one last effort to land Luka Modric.
What do you think to this story ED would we be interested a superb player IMO ?
R {Ed018's Note - he may be under consideration but Napoli does not want to sell and that would make it very complicated this late}
Believable2
Unbelievable2
Would be a hell of a signing. Would fit in perfectly. Am I right in thinking he should be available for around the same price as Modric?

I am sorry if I am repetitive ed just few queries if you will:
1. Will de breyne be loaned if he signs?
2. How many new signings do you expect chelsea to make by the time this window closes?
3. Is there anyone else chelsea are trying to sign other than vdw, perreira, de breyne and modric before this window closes?
Thanks
Omega {Ed018's Note - he will more than likely be loaned back to Genk, 2 or 3 possible, they may need to look else where if they can't sign Modric, which i'm sure they are already doing}

ED's: If Alex leaves for Juventus or Arsenal do you epect us to sign a replacement Centre Half?
If so, do you think we will sign Gary Cahill or Scott Dann - either would strengthen the defence and both are English
Or do you think Oriol Romeu could be used as 4th Centre Half?
Keep up the great work {Ed018's Note - Romeu could be used there but Cahill could be a possiblity}

Ed,
Do you expect Benayoun to be used to bait to get modric or him to leave for a fee? {Ed018's Note - if Tottenham were to agree to sell Modric, i could see them wanting Benayoun in the deal:
Believable5
Unbelievable0
29 Aug 2011 21:04:23
Ed, report has it that arsenal are keen on benayoun, don't u think selling him to our title rivals would only make him stronger, moreover, i see no reason in selling one of the few creative players we've gat in the club. your thoughts on this Ed and the probabilty of the deal going through {Ed018's Note - its apparent that he will move on and from my understanding earlier this morning there were more than a few teams interested. i wont be to bothered if he ended up at arsenal.}

Proceeds from Benayoun will not cover even 30% of what is offered for Modric. The problem in Modric is not money

Hazard is just talk
Kalou is wanted by lille
Avb wants to keep malouda and his future is more than likely with chelsea
Finally, Modric WANTS to join chelsea however daniel levy and redknapp wants to keep him so modric with have to push to get out an chelsea guarentted will spend over the odds for him

one of the ed's.
what are the honest odds of getting modric, personally i believe he would be the perfect addition to our squad. he speaks perfect english and is very creative.
please respond ed?
and i know you answered about him a couple of days ago but chelsea transfers go so quickly i wondering where we stand with.. de bryne? and perreira?
blues boy. {Ed018's Note - i don't know the odds but im going but i think we will sign him. DeBruyne is very very possible and reports from Portugal say Periera is headed to Chelsea}

Very much appreciated. how come your answers are more conclusive than ed 002. {Ed018's Note - Ed002 is very informative on here, you have to understand that he does the majority of the work on the Chelsea site and helps on many of the other sites and doesn't have the time to be repeating himself all the time.}

Hi Ed have you heard anything about vdw proposed move to chelsea?

Benayoun, Kalou and 8-10 million to secure Hazard as RW. Shock 27 million bid for Ribery and deal being prepared, (30 million and Malouda) for Sneijder. If Hazard and Sneijder (Or maybe Ribery) come, this will have been a very productive Transfer Window.

3 Players to arrive by the end of the transfer window. Modric around 32-35 mill, Alvaro Pereira for around 18 million. The final player will be a defender, Alex is on his way out so Chelsea will do a deal with Bolton for Gary Cahill, fee around 10-12 million but will also involve Josh Mceachran going on a season long loan deal.
Departures:
Benayoun - not sure which club but will defo leave
Alex - Juventus or possibly Arsenal
Kalou - AVB wants him gone but there have been very few interested parties. Maybe the French team Lille will make a late move.
Malouda - Not definate but if Pereira comes in then Malouda may leave for a Italian team.
Also forgot to mention that Chelsea and Genk are close to agreement on Kevin De Bruyne. 10 mill fee close with Genk keeping him on loan for the season.
Happy times

hey ed i was looking at some stuff on this page and VDW has agreed terms with chelsea and reports in holland are saying a fee of 32 million euros has been agreed and also loads of stuff on twitter and everywhere is saying that chelsea have agreed a fee with totenham for luka modric after apparently he has quit totenham and has been seen clearing out his locker any truth {Ed002's Note - Sorry, I know nothing about it.}
Believable3
Unbelievable2
Look, from what i have gathered it is just paper talk. All of it was made out of vdw teeet about his flight to London, then one wrote, the other quoted and thats the end of it for now. He is our target still, though.

29 Aug 2011 01:21:27
Ed, if we fail to capture modric... Are moutinho and sneijder possible targets? {Ed018's Note - maybe, Moutinho wants to stay at Porto and we would have a hard time ever coming to terms with Sneijder's wages}
Believable3
Unbelievable2
Hi Ed what kind of wages is sneijder looking for. I don't think Modric will come but I hope so. {Ed002's Note - A lot.}

Tevez is great player but we have enough strikers.
Callum
Agree0
Disagree0
Can I ask why exactly? Tevez is an awesome talent, and the type of player we lack. He creates, scores goals and can run at defences with pace and tremendous skill. He has the ability to changing a game at the drop of a hat. Dont see any reason why you would'nt want him, please explain? {Ed018's Note - i really don't know. he is a great player, i just teams are afraid to spend alot of money on him for him to turn around and to want to go home 2 months later}
Agree0
Disagree0
29 Aug 2011 01:08:51
Eds, what are the chances of a last minute bid being placed for Tevez? He'd be like our answer to Rooney or Aguero. So far I dnt think we have a player like tht. {Ed018's Note - not gonna happen}

Believable4
Unbelievable0
29 Aug 2011 00:02:31
I really dont understand the speculation surrounding Periera. He wouldnt be a starter in our team so paying £20+ million for a squad player doesnt make sense. Also why would Periera want to leave a 1st team LB Porto position to come and be a "squad" player at Chelsea. I really dont understand this at all.
PB
Believable3

Who says he wouldn't be a starter in our team? he is versatile and can play anywhere down the left side.
Agree0
Disagree0
Its called money
Agree0
Disagree0
Ashley Cole and Mata will start all day over this guy, Bosingwa and Sturride down the other side, he has no experience at all in central midfield. He is a work horse but doesnt exceed greatly at anything more of a jack of all trades. Just doesnt justify the reported £25m for a squad player at all.
PB
Agree0
Disagree0
I agree, I mean why not use the money towards a a Tevez or sum1?
Agree0
Disagree0
I meant he is willing to leave his 1st place position at porto to sit on the bench at chelsea and earn at least double the wages he currently earns
Agree0
Disagree0
Gentlemen - he was not our target before AVB came. The manager knows the player, apreciates his versatility and already knows our teams strenghts and weaknesses more than we do, even if it hard to accept. So why shouldn't we back our man to make his decision and live by them.
