Ed, Chelsea can sign players that play in Europe I'm June 1st and international players on July 1st. Is that correct {Ed002's Note - No - Anyone outside of England and Wales will be July 1 on.}

Ed, do you think Chelsea would ever make a bid for Messi? Or is that not even reasonable to consider {Ed002's Note - It has never been on the cards. Occasionally there is an untouchable, and I guess Messi is one.}

Is mata still a target? Thanks ed;)

{Ed002's Note - There is no effort being expended on Mata so probably not right now. Could be returned to.}

Hey now that moves for Lukaku and Aguero seem unlikely because of one's price tag and the others wages respectively, do you know who have Chelsea moved for as an alternative? {Ed002's Note - All things are still possible but Chelsea are fairly settled in to dealing with the Neymar and VDW situations first. They are the priorities. There are other players still on the horizon, such as Willain, and will eb dealt with as needed.}

Ed do you know when lukaku's contract expires cause im sure it is at the end of next season which makes no sense for me cause surely it is better for anderlecht to get 15 or so million for him now than lose him next season for free because i doubt he would want to sign an extension if loads of top teams are after him {Ed002's Note - He is contracted until June 2015.}

Ed, Is Chelsea after anyone else other than neymar. Seems like I don't hear anything concrete in the media. Or are they just being very quiet about their dealings right now {Ed002's Note - Only Barcelona have a real interest.}

Has interest dropped in Mata?

Hey Ed, are Chelsea looking at Lukaku as an alternative to Sergio Aguero or is he target on his own? {Ed002's Note - Lukaku is not a target anymore. Chelsea, Spurs, Real Madrid, Juventus, Barcelona, Liverpool, Arsenal, Ajax, AC Milan have shown an interest over recent months. Anderlecht want €30M and priced the player out of the market. His agent is now hawking him around a number of clubs trying to muster up interest. Chelsea may be interested at a lower price.}

ED002 what do you make of the tabloids stoires that Chelsea are closing in on Neymar and Roman will personally meet with the player £23 mil is what is quoted surely it will be around £35 mil?

BLUEBLOOD {Ed002's Note - I don't read the tabloids. Sorry. I told you the situation with Neymar, are you not satisfied with that?}

ED can you tell us what all these discrepancies are, as I'm aware the only one is hiddink next Friday.Which I'm assuming means he is our number one target, but if this is true I don't see a point in putting him in charge for one year and then starting again.I think we should get a manager in this year on a 3 year contract, let him build a team, with at least 5 new faces coming in.Mourinho clearly doesn't want the job otherwise he would be here already.rikard, redknapp, or even Benitez.A lot of people would not agree but Benitez took lfc from being a top 5 team to 2nd in the league, 2 champions league finals, won FA cup.In an ideal world I would have mourinho or villa boas from Porto.But they already ruled themselves out. {Ed002's Note - As I have said, repeatedly, I really do not want to speculate whilst nothing is decided.}

ed do you think hiddink will arrive for 12 months if turkey fail to win friday with the view to moving upstairs after the 12 months as director of football at chelsea letting pep see out his 1 year remaining at barca before moving to chelsea as pep has not said he wouldn't be at chelsea but just wants to see out his remaining contract i think the jigsaw is now becoming clear and if pep does come to chelsea after his year left at barca and hiddink moves upstairs i think chelsea have finally got it right in all areas with neymar possibly joining i think the future looks awesome {Ed002's Note - It is not a matter I am prepared to discuss untyil all dependencies are complete.}

Chelsea web pages don't mention Modric.
He is nowhere near good enough for chelsea.

Ed, is it kinda pointless for any questions about our next manager at this point. Do we all just need to be patient and wait til next weekend and see what Hiddink does? {Ed002's Note - Sort of.}

Believable6 Unbelievable0

29 May 2011 13:04:20
I was just on the Chelsea website and it said we are interested in Luka Modric. Is that true ED? {Ed002's Note - Well if the club say that then .....}

Hi ED are we interested in Hazard or Sanchez or Both? {Ed002's Note - Not at the moment.}

Believable1 Unbelievable2

29 May 2011 12:04:20
Ed, I hoestly believe our new manager will be Pep Guardiola. Regardless of what he has said about honouring his contract he is the only manager that can provide Abramovich with the kind of football he craves. Your opinion? {Ed002's Note - No it won't.}

29 May 2011 11:44:16
Hi ED could you list me all the players we are interested in please? Thanks. {Ed002's Note - It is impossible to do that with any confidence but talks are ongoing with folks like Van der Wiel and Neymar.}

Personally i think we should get a foremer Chelsea player to manage us for next season, what do you think ED?
I also think we should play are youngsters more ie Van Aholt, McHearan, Sturridge brume ETC because they will get more experiance and then if ever need a young player then we won't have doubts because they will have expeirance, what are your thoughts on this?

{Ed002's Note - A former player will not give any benefits as manager. Bruma and, possibly, McEachran will go out on loan. The others will probably get game time as you suggest.}

ed, Any interest in Marko Marin from Werder Bremen? {Ed002's Note - There has been confirmed interest from AC Milan and Chelsea in the past. There seems to be no effort going in that direction right now.}

Chelsea, will not send Josh out on loan.
At 17, last year, he played in numerous games.
With lampard & Essien, still not fully recovered, he will get even more chances next year.
Watch him shine in the Euro U21 tournament in a couple of weeks.

Chelsea to send Milan Lalkovic to Gillingham for a season long loan.
Jeferrey Bruma to Wigan for a half season loan. Connor Clifford to Southampton for season long loan. Josh McEachran to QPR for half season loan.
***************************************
I would rather McEachran went Germany than QPR! No need to loan him out anyway.

If Hiddink decides to not take the Chelsea job, which I believe he will, where does Chelsea go from there. Villas Boas wants to stay at Porto, Mourinho is staying at Madrid, Guardiola just said he's staying at Barca. What options would we have left if Hiddink says no

My source has informed me that Drogba is on the verge of jining Galatasary and Neymar is the man lined up to replace him. Abramovic has sanctioned a kitty of £28M for him specially. However, nothing will happen until a new manager has given this the green light.
