From players we are apparently still linked with :
Ins: bonucci, kante, nainggolan and morata
Out: matic, Oscar, Pedro
Just wondered what people thought on my ideas for signings.
Also ed apart from players coming in, are there any players looking to move.

Think pedro should stay in my opinion. Oscar can go, as can Matic, but only if it is true he wants to leave.
Ivanovic should be moved on, as too mikel and remy. Possibly baba Rahman.

03 Jul 2016 10:36:53
In: Kante and Koulibaly and Higuain for his experience.

Out: Rahman, Matic, Oscar and Pedro.

03 Jul 2016 15:00:14
Naiggolain will not be coming nor will Higuain. I would settle for Kante, Koulibaly and another forward.

05 Jul 2016 00:12:22
In: Kante Koulibaly and another forward
Out: Oscar Ivanovic Mikel Remy

Baba needs more time, trust me he will become a very good player.

Hello EDs put this at the top rather then the bottom to save you reading through my personal opinions but questions below basically go with what's been put.

1:New reports on Kante is there anything other then the previous interest you mentioned worth stating regarding Kante and CFC?

2:Eds Thank you for the info on Batsman a few weeks back again proven correct he looks set to sign any day interest in Morata has been widely discussed Ed018 mentioned the possibility of one other should Morata not be viable would you be able to tell us who?

3.Are the club looking at and out an out wing backs, do you know if Azpillicueta will be moved on or given a chance or is it bit early too say?

4:Any news on CB targets Ed seems to of all gone very quiet does the club still want the Napoli guy in or has interest moved elsewhere?

5:has the club received any official bids for anyone has of yet and do you see Pedro and Oscar moving on this summer?

As always thanks for your time and patience for answering mine and everyone's questions ED002 and ED018 and ED001 all done great job long may it continue its very much appreciated.


For fellow supporters who wish to have a read and say:

Some interesting news developing if true Kante favors a move to Chelsea over an array of top clubs, If and big if this is true what a fantastic signing he could be for so many reasons, young, proven, cheapish considering his ability and other targets we have been looking at and proven BPL player.

Personally think this Batsman kid from Marseille could be a very shred signing looks a little raw but the potential is plain to see. Finding the right partner is key though Costa would be a great match has he could provide the hold up play and act as the target man allowing Batsman to make use of his dribbling skills and runs in behind the last man. But its looking ever more likely Costa is on his way out. IMHO Lukaku is the right man to replace him big powerful 20+ goals a season proven BPL young and good future sell on value potential. i'm not so keen on Morata too similar to Batsman though he is clearly a good player. I would just rather have two strikers who offer something a little different. Who would you prefer to partner Batsman?

With Conte 3-5-2 system hardworking wings with crossing ability is a must if Cuadrado can be convinced to try one last time we may already have one spot covered, manbear was terrible last year and i don't think he could play has a WB he's displays at RB didn't fill me a sense of security or creativity though he is still a good CB with plenty of experience, Baba looks to be heading to Lazio thank god he is terrible he can't cross or defend, kenedy might be a good shout for LWB but still only a kid and of course Dave always gives 100% good solid LB but offers little to nothing going forward what's peoples opinions would you like to see him stay or buy in a proper LWB and use kenedy in rotation?

Okay CB clearly we need to Sign one but i don't think its a major prority, Manbear, Terry, Cahill, Zouma obviously it would be nice to get an upgrade on Cahill but the other three are good enough and now playing three it should provide the cover for terry now his legs are not what they were i suspect he will have a good season. I haven't mentioned Christensen only because ED made it clear he will go on loan for at least another year and may well be sold, i know lot of us would rather have him with us next year but it is what it is who would you like the club to buy at CB and why?

Okay so i think that's covered probable in positions now for outs. As i said above known Strong interest in Baba and Costa, both whom i believe will be sold, also think mikel time is up should the club purchase Kante or another cdm with fabbers and Matic and RLC i can't see him getting games may well be best for both sides to part ways, But a big one that sticks out for me is Oscar where does he fit in if Hazard stays he should play just behind top 2 with the other 2 midfielders playing deeper and fabbers and traore and RLC can all cover that number 10 spot again i think its best for both sides to contemplate parting ways this summer Same for Pedro he left Barcelona for games and he can't defend so playing has a WB seems unlikely i wouldn't be supprisēd to see him go he's hardly set the world alight, Falcao, Pato gone, Remy on his way out to, Begovic likley to go to get playing time although i guess depends on what happens should Madrid or Barcelona come in for Courtois though after last years displays and the Euro's i don't see why they would hopefully changing the GK coach will cheers him a little and he can regain some confidence in early part of the season. Thoughts on out goings guys?

If you managed to read through this thank you have your say, criticize if you wish i wouldn't say i know too much but just what i think we need sure will be many differing opinions its just nice to hear them. All the best everyone Lampsy_8.

{Ed002's Note - (1) I have no idea what reports you have been reading and I do not read newspapers - so I cannot answer beyond what has been said before. (2) I suggest you ask Ed018. At least three forwards are leaving this summer and I have no intention of writing long lists of players the club has shown an interest in. (3) I am not aware of plans to sell Azpilicueta but there is interest in him and much will depend on what happens with Cuadrado - and I have no intention of writing long lists of players the club has shown an interest in. (4) The club continues to be interested in centre backs and have explored taking Juan Jesus as cover - but there is a reluctance from someone at the club. (5) I am not getting in to answering vague questions.}

We're one of two clubs that Kante will consider this summer.
