ED how much of an impact on transfers would it make if we didnt qualify for the champions league next year? {Ed002's Note - I rewally don't know. I would expect that there would be some impact.}

Granted player's would want CL football but to miss it for one year would not be the end of the world surely some of our Champions league displays will have impressed some of these player's they would not get that at Tottenham or Arsenal

I personaly think it would be a hudge impact big player leave clubs all the time to chase the champions league dream with out it they will just pass by

But even if we do not make it the club should still go all out for the preferred players that they wont this should be the year where we are transitioned also i think whoever the manager may be may impact on transfers if it's a top manager player's will come

Chelsea inns:C.Azpilcueta "10mil",M.Marin "8mil",M.Rodriguez "free",E.Cavani"40 mil",A.Robben "18mil",G.Ramirez "15 mil"....What do you think about my players coming in you see any of them arriving?

Marin is lol, i want azpilcueta i reckon 15m , maxi no thanks, cavani yes please depends on CL football, robben i dont want , ramirez would be a gd edition BLUEBOY1

C.Azpilicueta (Most Likely)
M.Marin (Certain)
M.Rodriguez (No Chance)
E.Cavani (Possibly)
A.Robben (Possibly)
G.Ramirez (Not Likely)

Azplicueta is a must buy I think but we need to to qualify for CL, E.Cavani and Robben I think there is no chance! maybe G.Ramirez but I don't rate him too much, my selected transfers would be spanish guys Lorente or Soldado and Alba + Navas

18m for Robben? Hilarious.

Robben has 1 more year of contract so 15-18 mil euros is possible price. He is one best players in the world 28 + he might consider rejoining cfc.

Chelsea have reportedly been alerted by the news that Bayern Munich winger Arjen Robben is ready to quit the Bundesliga club following a row with team-mate Franck Ribery. The 28 year old Dutch international had been stalling on a new deal for some time and was subsequently linked with a myriad of interested parties and with just over a year to run on his current deal, the Bundesliga side may be forced to consider offers for the wide-man.
Robben was a big success during his previous stint at Stamford Bridge, notching up 19 goals in 105 appearances for the Blues and picking up two Premier League titles in the process before he left for an unsuccessful spell at Real Madrid. A move to Bayern Munich helped resurrect a career that was stagnating at the Bernabeu but now a move away from the Bavarian club could be on the cards.
Chelsea are looking to bring fresh attacking options to the club and given that Florent Malouda is likely to be offloaded this summer having played only a bit part player role this term coupled with the fact that Salomon Kalou and Didier Drogba will be both be out of contact at the end of the season, has left Roman Abramovich looking to bring in a ‘marquee’ signing or two.
Abramovich is keen to flex his financial muscle and whether Roberto Di Matteo is confirmed as a permanent successor to Andre Villa-Boas may not be relevant to the club’s transfer intentions. The Italian already confirmed this to be the case when he revealed that he was not involved in the decision making process that led to the signing of Marko Marin last week.
Given that Daniel Sturridge has stated his preference to play in a central striking role a move for Arjen Robben could prove all the more relevant and Chelsea are more than capable of meeting any asking price for the Bayern Munich man and are reportedly willing to offer a pay packet in excess of what his side currently afford him.

What are your thoughts on this ed?
Could it happen?

KTBFFH {Ed002's Note - An advisor to Chelsea was asked a couple of days back of the club would be interested in Robben - and that message has been passed to the club.}

Rather we should sign the young players... we should go for hazard,neymar,moura etc

Hi Ed, I know that its been stated several times about nothing happening with Neymar until after the olympics...but i was wondering if at that point chelsea are likely to hold an interest in the player? He doesnt seem to have an attitude that would sit well with Jose, Im not sure if Pep leaving would change anything with Barca and seemingly City will land Hazard. So IF we wanted him and he was willing to leave Brazil perhaps we would be back in with a shout. But my question remains as to whether Chelsea still hold an interest in the player? {Ed002's Note - I don't really want to get drawn in to making any further comments on Neymar but I would probably not hold your breath over him moving to Chelsea.}

Arsenal fan here,

As much as i hate Chelsea, I have to give credit where it is due, Marko Marin is a fantastic signing and for 7 mil he is a BARGAIN.

For those of you that might not know much about him, he is a very skilled winger with a lot of dribbling and passing abilty, speed and vision and i can't wait to see him in the EPL.

And also well done on making the CL, i hope you lose but still, well done.

Cheers,

Nick.

Why do you hope we lose?!

I hate how supporters don't support other English clubs. I supported Arsenal against Barca the other year. It's ridiculous

Looks like Chelsea are going to approach everton about Fellaini, if they do they should save their money and part ex one of our older stars. As like with any used car, I'm sure any of Chelsea's old or bald stars would become evertons pride and joy! In this case one mans junk is another mans treasure. Not slagging anyone off, but some of our older players could easily be first team players for a mid table team. I read yesterday of a potential switch for robben, hope that doesn't happen, sturidge will come good next season I'm sure. This is his first full season in the first team and ge has made a impact. We need to get another player in his prime to replace Essien, and bossingwa. After that we just need pace and creativity. Hope tonight Torres is like a Spanish bull in a china shop, tearing the Toons defence to pieces.
Ed what do you think Josh will go back on loan next year, due to his lack of game time this season? If so I think Wigan would be a good option ( if they stay up ) as they seem to be good at developing younger players.

Cheers Dan J {Ed002's Note - There is no point in me guessing what will happen with McEachran but another loan may be an option.}

Just can't see Fellaini playing in a Chelsea shirt next season..

Hmmmmmmmmmmmm who is the team behind chelsea in the table.

hey ed,

do you expect jovetic to come to chelsea this summer?

thanks,
cali {Ed002's Note - Arsenal did show previous interest, but Roma, Chelsea and Napoli remain interested if and when he becomes available.}

Ed, guillem balague just said that nuri sahin has been transfer listed. Is there any truth to this and do you think chelsea would look to sign him? Thanks {Ed002's Note - Sahin has had injury problems this year but rumours do persist about his long term future. If he were to leave I would very much suspect a move to Italy (possibly with Juventus) or a return to Germany would come before any thoughts of a move to England. Malaga also spoke to Madrid about the possibility of a loan.}

Hello Ed, is Chelsea looking at Ben Arfa? Cheers. {Ed002's Note - No.}
