hi ed ny news on yaya toure he name has been bouncing around over the the internet for a possible chelsea signing {Ed018's Note - I don't see this happening}

Believable5 Unbelievable6

If we pay enough we ll get him

Agree0 Disagree0

Be a class signing but i dont think a) city would let him go to a prem club (unless hes contract has run out not sure) and b) hes made it clear he wants to be back at barcalona

Just heard Eden Hazard described as a lightweight ha!!!! and worth every penny you paid for him.......NOT...lol

Believable9 Unbelievable12

Yer and look at who described him as a lightweight .......... andy townsend not exactly a star player of his time go away manc fan

curt

Agree0 Disagree0

You obviously have not seen him play for lille.

Agree0 Disagree0

Judge him in 2/3 seasons when he has matured and has fully adapted to the english game.

Agree0 Disagree0

We got the same comments when Mata signed then those idiots went missing, now they've crawled out of the woodwork again. When did Townsend become the god of football?

Agree0 Disagree0

Also, last year Hazard was the most fouled player in the league and still played all 38 games. not bad for a lightweight

Vincent

Agree0 Disagree0

Created 6 goal-scoring chances, more than any other England player, according to Opta - even though he was played out of position for most of the game. If this is lightweight I'd like to see how he does when he gets accustomed to the physicality of the league. :)

Agree0 Disagree0

Good old kompany sticking up for his international team mate :D

James Milner should be a certain signing this summer as i think he will add modesty to a Chelsea team that is full of stars and is hard working and I see him as a long term replacement for Lampard what does everyone else think?

Believable7 Unbelievable15

I can see the merits of signing a player like him with regards to his work ethic, but i dont think we need him this season, unless hes going cheap and doesnt demand stupid wages. We have Rami for that kind of role now, wouldnt see Milner getting much of a look in ahead of Rami, Hazard, Hulk, Marin, Mata, Lamps etc. Good squad player though or cover for injury if the price was right.

PieZ

Agree0 Disagree0

I think Ramires has the qualities you mention in abundance.

Agree0 Disagree0

I think Rami and Milner would make a good in pair in holding midfeild.

Agree0 Disagree0

Milner is an average player at best, he has work ethic and thats about all he's got. Ramires has a better work rate and is a better player on the ball. Man City payed over 20 million for milner, rip off. Him and Downing shouldnt even be in the England squad

Agree0 Disagree0

I'd agree if it was on the cheap. In no way would he be 'a long term replacement for Lampard'. You can not replace the irreplaceable. He is a league, FA, and EUROPEAN CHAMPION ya know.

Melbourne CFC

Agree0 Disagree0

No just downing shouldnt be in the squad milners not as bad as your making him out to be

curt

Agree0 Disagree0

Man City won't sell Milner as he is a versatility player with a great attitude. Capable of playing DM,CMR/L/C,AMR/L/C he is vital in their system.

He is also better than you make out. However I agree with the above that Ramires is better.

Agree0 Disagree0

I think u must be crazy, James Milner replace Frank Lampard get real plz.

Agree0 Disagree0

Agree, Milner may not be bags of skill, but his work ethic and attitude is 1st class

man city going to try and take van persie for 25 mill if he doesnt sign a new deal at the emirates why dont chelsea go in for him aswel i mean 25 mill is a bargain for the way persies playing psg are willing to offer united 100mill for rooney i dont understand how that fat troll is worth more than persie (even though persies yet to prove he is good for more than a year)

curt

Believable3 Unbelievable9

Van Persie is going to want a starting spot, which he wont get at Chelsea, he's also 31 (I think?) so not one for the future. As good a player as he is we don't really need him and I very much doubt he would move across London for a bench-warming role behind Torres, a role that any striker we buy in is going to have to accept alongside Sturridge and Lukaku, unless they are sold/loaned out respectively.

PieZ

Agree0 Disagree0

Lol what a ridiculously stupid post.

Agree0 Disagree0

Rvp has been top quality for the last few years. just injured a lot.

Agree0 Disagree0

Ridiculously stupid post ?? united fan by any chance or do you just not know what your talking about and piez persie is the same age as torres mate

curt

Agree0 Disagree0

RVP's 28 but i agree, although we are looking to get a striker even though we dont really need one with sturridge and lukaku

Agree0 Disagree0

We play with 1 striker, torres, lukaku, sturridge. & if we get hulk 4, thats plenty plus in say another 2 years we will have feruz & bamford

Agree0 Disagree0

Bit younger than I thought, my apologies. But as I said, with Torres given the main striker role this season, according to reports and rightfully so in my opinion, Van Persie wont want to play 2nd fiddle, not to mention Arsenal are hardly going to want to sell to us, and would the Arsenal captain leave Arsenal for Chelsea ? I'm not saying it won't happen, as anything can, I'm also not saying he isn't a quality player, I just don't see it happening.

PieZ

Agree0 Disagree0

What RVP won't start in frony of torres, sturridge or kalou get real

Agree0 Disagree0

Rvp is injury prone and rooney is still young .

Agree0 Disagree0

Fair comment piez i say chuck torres get van persie then :D lol oh and suddenly the post dont look so ridiculous to that manc fan that wrote it obviously too busy scanning every rumour page coz he has nothing better to do

curt

Agree0 Disagree0

I would take 100 million for rooney thats insane money

Agree0 Disagree0

I would take 100 pound for rooney to be quite honest

curt

Agree0 Disagree0

02 Jun 2012 17:52:40
brendan rodgers to try and bid for fellani if we are serious about signing him then he would be stupid to sign for the reds over us :D even hazard wasnt stupid enough to sign for the mancs over us

curt

Believable4 Unbelievable3

Brendan rodgers is now with liverpool , not any manc club.

Agree0 Disagree0

Yer ?? read the post properly it clearly states hazard wasnt even stupid enough to join the mancs over us :D

Ed any news on willian it seems he was an almost certantiy to join last transfer window but has the intrest been rejuvinated? {Ed018's Note - No}

Believable2 Unbelievable3

Thank god!

Agree0 Disagree0

02 Jun 2012 13:59:55
Anything new on Hazard ED the loose ends been tied up yet? {Ed002's Note - Nothing new but you can assume Hazard is effectively complete. There was no counter proposal made by Real Madrid}

Believable4 Unbelievable2

Chelsea fan page on facebook posted a picture on which one he was signig a Chelsea's kit in London for some fan. :)

Agree0 Disagree0

Nah hes decided to play for swindon town now lets stop talkin about him now :D

curt

Agree0 Disagree0

French media say the player may travel tomorrow to Chelsea after the belgium game and have a medical or be shown around s this true ED?

Agree0 Disagree0

02 Jun 2012 13:07:22
personally i think we need a solid defensive midfielder, any options?

Believable8 Unbelievable9

Yann M'vila

Agree0 Disagree0

Unless i am wrong Fernando (Porto player) is the only one we are interested in, M'vila is not being looked at and neither is Martinez of Athletic, despite how much people on this board seem want this to be the case.
Fernando looks a very good player, and i believe him and Ramires in the middle would be a fantastic, athletic and fast pairing.

Agree0 Disagree0

Next season you'll see Lampard playing deeper alongside ramires.

Agree0 Disagree0

Even though Mikel has played alright, he's far too too too slow at releasing the ball for attacks, and even if he releaeses early he passes back

Agree0 Disagree0

We dont need a defensive midfielder at all we have mikel romeu essien meriles and lampard and ramires can play there if we had ferando who would you take out the team.
jambo

Agree0 Disagree0

Essien might be going so will merieles mikel aint that great or is romeu that leaves rami and lamps lamps will need resting now and again rami wont always play deeper buy fernando even though i personally think we should look at mvila

Agree0 Disagree0

Someone like yaya toure who can also go forward

Agree0 Disagree0

Dembele or fellani there tanks personally I'd rather have dembele because he's got more flair and Chelsea need more of this

Agree0 Disagree0

De Rossi from Roma would be a good signing, but very unlikely

Agree0 Disagree0

02 Jun 2012 13:04:04
hi

there have been rumours about chelsea being interested in Šime Vrsaljko (right-back for Dinamo Zagreb). he definitely looks like a good prospect. any truth to this?

thanks! {Ed002's Note - Vrsaljko was looked at. But not first choice for Chelsea.}

Believable6 Unbelievable1

I saw this lad playing for Dinamo, Might not be our first choice but he'll be a top player for someone!

Surewould

Agree0 Disagree0

Who is first choice ed? {Ed002's Note - VDW and/or Azpilicueta.}

Agree0 Disagree0

02 Jun 2012 12:56:37
Ed 002 If Mereiles leaves, will the club replace him and if so do you know who they are considering?
Do you think Paulo will stay?
Many thanks {Ed002's Note - It is still early and players will be coming and going. I am not going to guess.}

Believable4 Unbelievable2

Not sure why he's leaving, unless it's his choice. But if it's the club's choice rather than his, what's the reasoning? Shouldn't Essien be sold first? Meireles contributed more to the cause last season. Moreover, Essien has been woeful for three seasons.

Agree0 Disagree0

02 Jun 2012 11:04:11
Looking forward to todays friendly. Very big one for us fans because we'll most likely see some of our future stars in Lukaku, Courtois, Hazard and KDB! Ed do you know if all these players are regulars for the Belgium side and if we'll see them start or just play a bit tonight? {Ed002's Note - Try google.}

Believable6 Unbelievable3

I could imagine hazard lukaku and courtois will be starting lukaku is there main striker i think and courtois has had an amazing season not sure about kevin though

curt

Agree0 Disagree0

Hi ed do you think chelsea will try for ronaldinho. he is a free agent and i belive he would still be a ver good addition to the squad. if not do you know if theres a chance he could play in the premierleague next season (im a huge ronaldinho fan) Thanks ED :) {Ed002's Note - No.}

Agree0 Disagree0

Hes not good enough for the prem anymore his top level playing days are well and truly over

curt

Agree0 Disagree0

I do t think kdb will play, I think he broke his toe 2 months ago

Agree0 Disagree0

Lukaku nn hazard starting courtois on the bench minoglet is first choice nd kevin de bruyne not in the squad

Agree0 Disagree0

The potential of the Belgian national side is ridiculous! They have so many great players, they could be the best team around in a few years, it might sound unreal but it's true! Courtois, Vermaelen, Vertonghen, Kompany, Witsel, Hazard, Defour, De Bruyne, Lukaku. All very good, or potentially very good future players!

Chelsea Nick

Agree0 Disagree0

I said that they will win the world cup in 2018 lol hazard starts from chelsea thats it

Agree0 Disagree0

02 Jun 2012 11:02:25
with our new signings coming in and if we do get a holding midefielder like fernando in your opinion ed do you honestly see a place at the club for the likes of merieles malouda and mikel because we would have lamps rami romeu and another holding midefielder if we were to buy one and even luiz could cover there if needed

curt {Ed002's Note - I expect Merieles to leave, maybe Malouda.}

Believable5 Unbelievable2

Thanks for answering that never really rated the pair of them anyway malouda had one above average season our last prem winning season but then that was probably mainly because the team were flying that year

Agree0 Disagree0

Is Meireles unhappy? Or is it the club's preference that he goes? {Ed002's Note - Players don't need to be unhappy.}

Agree0 Disagree0

tom lfc fan

blown away by your summer acquisitions, in fairness i felt you were very lucky to win the champions league, some very dogged performances showing grit and steely determinism rather than beautiful flowing football

however with the additions of hulk hazard marin and de bruyne and likely van der wiel to what you already have i can see fantasy football in the cards for chelsea fans
your new front line is mind blowing and a match for anything in europe, kind of scary for the rest of us. its gonna be hard to cope with all four each possesing an individual goal threat aswell as linking up well, torres has needed a creative player behind him ala gerrard and to a lesser extent meireles and now you have meireles hulk marin mata and hazard all capable of threading balls through for him. my mind is blown by this front line

Believable12 Unbelievable4

Half luck half self belief that we won the champions league thanks for the post though considering your a red

curt

Agree0 Disagree0

we weren't lucky, Barca and Bayern missed penalties to beat us in normal time, we took our chances they didn't end of. Liverpool were lucky gerard took a dive in istanbul and the ref was gullible enough to give a penalty. jog on fool.
Kenny

Agree0 Disagree0

He was trying to be polite and we get moronic chelsea fans like you any chelsea fan that isnt dillusional will admit we were lucky to win the champions league but we had self belief infact kenny im not lowering myself to your level

curt

Agree0 Disagree0

Agreed whats kennys problem

i think ven te most ardent chelsea fans would admit you were outplayed by both barca and bayern but won out due to sheer determination hard work and grit

now you re adding hulk marin hazard, thats a lot of flair added to the grit that is alreayd there

you cant really win things without style and steel

Agree0 Disagree0

We was lucky but the heart hard work and solid tactical displays we showed meant we did deserve it ina way but kennys just a person so should be ignored

Agree0 Disagree0

02 Jun 2012 10:38:30
Hello ED!

Wanted to know which strikers are we currently interested in as back up for Torres; from the comments made by the club it seems he is the sure starter so probably rules out a big buy like Cavani or Falcao. A while back you mentioned Schurle and Jovetic. Is it still the case?

JoeB {Ed002's Note - There remains interest in all of those players to one degree or another. Interest in Markovic has waned because of the price and the interest in Schurrle stems from last year but he remains in the thoughts I understand.}

Believable3 Unbelievable1

In fairness we have sturridge lukaku and hulk can play there for me personally id go for a cheap striker possibly schlurre who knows but torres will come good next season i believe he can

curt

Agree0 Disagree0

Agree I think schurle would be a cracking buy!

Agree0 Disagree0

02 Jun 2012 10:20:38
Ed. Interesting what you say about Ake. We all know the Gael Kakuta has not developed into the player we thought he would but there are four, maybe five, players that seem to have at least the same level of expectation.
Is there a concious move to add say three or four of the youth to our squad this year? {Ed002's Note - There is a view that more players will make it though as the years progress but you cannot forget the ages of some of these players and the enormous step up. Expectations for several are high.}

Believable1 Unbelievable2

02 Jun 2012 10:04:45
be good to see hazard playing tonight see what hes capable of doing even though we know how good he is hopefully lukaku will start for them aswel and maybe kevin too

curt {Ed002's Note - I spoke with someone from Fulham last night and it seems that Dembele is a possibility for Chelsea although Fulham would still like him to sign a new deal. Again Manchester United is seen as a possiblility and it is suspected that Spurs will show interest as well. His price should discourage any interest from France. I am also told that Dembele has been told that if he were to move to Chelsea or Manchester United he cannot expect to be first choiuce and to think carefully before deciding to move.}

Believable3 Unbelievable2

Yer i would see him struggling to play a part in our plans too i could find out more from my mates dad hes involved mildly with fulham when they was in europa he would be sat in the meeting with uefa after each game so he might be able to shed some light on the dembele situation

curt

Agree0 Disagree0

To the OP....de Bruyne will not feature tonight as he is currently injured.

Agree0 Disagree0

02 Jun 2012 09:08:29
Do you feel that the likely destination for Hulk and Hazard is the blues now? I mean, Hulk says he is leaving it to his agent but he must have some part to play, and Hazard says he is joining the 'Champions League Winner' but we all know he can change his mind a lot. Many thanks Ed!! {Ed002's Note - Deja Vu. Please read answers to other posts.}

Believable2 Unbelievable1

Why do we have to go over this again and again and again they will both most likely be chelsea players by the end of the summer hazard deffinately seriously eds how do you put up with this

Agree0 Disagree0

02 Jun 2012 08:51:45
Ed, can a player have his medical and be guaranteed as a chelsea player before the 1st July? {Ed002's Note - Only if being purchased from a club playing in England.}

Believable1 Unbelievable1

Hasn't Marko Marin become a guaranteed Chelsea player? {Ed002's Note - The transfers cannot complete before the window opens. This is hopeless trying to explain.}

Agree0 Disagree0

02 Jun 2012 08:32:17
If the Hazard + Hulk deals are completed would you say that Marin's chelsea career looks bleak already with us having Mata aswell? {Ed002's Note - No.}

Believable1 Unbelievable6

He will still have a career with us but he wont be as big a part of the plans i would think

curt

Agree0 Disagree0

It all depends on our formation and performances of players whether he is a starter. But if he doesn't start I would expect him to come off the bench almost every game for Mata, Hazard, Hulk or even Torres.

Agree0 Disagree0

02 Jun 2012 08:28:12
Would you say that Pep Guardiola is likely to come to chelsea ed? {Ed002's Note - I cannot say if Guardiola is "likely" to come.}

Believable4 Unbelievable3

02 Jun 2012 00:36:53
Do we have any intrest in Hamsik. Great player imo. Would love to see him at chelsea.
Thank, Luke {Ed002's Note - No. Hamsik has signed a new contract and will probably not be moving.}

Believable2 Unbelievable2

02 Jun 2012 08:26:10
Dear Ed. Please can you tell me the latest on luka modric joing chelsea. are we going to make a bid for him? {Ed002's Note - Not that I am aware.}

good times to be a chelsea fan

hulk marin de bruyne and hazard all in the bag
you guys look like you ll have some attack next season and prob wont even miss drogba

an enviable front four, the only one to match citys front four to be honest, you ll be some side when they have all settled


tom1975 lfc fan

Believable7 Unbelievable1

Good to see some other club supporters arent jealous thanks for the comment lets see what we can do next year

Agree0 Disagree0

A little envious maybe, who wouldnt be envious of that forward line, always expected torres to come good especially now that drogba is gone and he ll be the main no 9

such attacking potential in mata hazard hulk marin and honestly didnt understand why meireles wasnt played off torres last season, they had a good understanding at liverpool

can see chelsea really having a go at city next season

Agree0 Disagree0

Of Course we gonna Miss Drogba :) Love The Man

Agree0 Disagree0

We will always miss DrogBAzooka! :)

Agree0 Disagree0

02 Jun 2012 04:31:21
Are we interested in Fellaini? {Ed002's Note - Not that I am aware.}

Believable3 Unbelievable0

02 jun 2012 02:03:37
ed - do you think chelsea will purchase another striker even if hulk and hazard come to chelsea, sturridge may be sold, lukaku may go on loan, malouda may be sold, drogba is going, what do you think !? {Ed002's Note - Chelsea are looking for another striker regardless. If Sturridge wants to leave the club will not stand in his way. Lukaku may go on loan. Malouda may leave and Drogba has gone.}

thans. {Ed018's Note - No absolutely not}

Believable0 Unbelievable13

Y would cfc do that do u no who we've got playing and Saha ex yod

Agree0 Disagree0

Are you serious? Don't be a mug and ask stupid questions. These players are too old why when we are trying to lower the average age? They not good enough for Chelsea either. Think b4 u post crap

Agree0 Disagree0

Agree0 Disagree0

Your an idiot!! How about we go for Michael owen and owen hargreeves too! Or how about Andy Johnson! What a mug you are!
