ED is it true arsenal want essien on loan? {Ed018's Note - it looks that way, but i wouldn't expect Chelsea to agree to that}

Believable1 Unbelievable1

If Essien and Benayoun were to leave ED would we look for another midfielder? {Ed018's Note - if both were to, then probably. if just Benayoun, no}

Agree0 Disagree0

M'Vila or Witsel PLEASEEEEEEEEEEEE

Agree1 Disagree0

ED002 is it possible if we let Sturridge go we may sign Schurrle and Remy? {Ed002's Note - Unlkely.}

Agree0 Disagree0

30 Aug 2012 22:52:45
Chelsea to make an improved offer of £20mill for Schurrle if successful will look to offload sturridge on a loan deal to either Liverpool or spurs.

Believable5 Unbelievable3

Even tho they aint interested in selling at any price ,no striker then!

Agree0 Disagree0

Sturridge on has a year left on his contract. There's no way he'll go out on loan.

Agree0 Disagree0

Improved ? i swear our original bid was more than 20 mill lol

curt

hulk is flying to london to sign personal terms with a mystery club after they met his buy out clause!

Believable8 Unbelievable16

QPR? They're buying everyone else!

In all seriousness, no club will meet his buyout clause.

Agree1 Disagree0

No chance

Agree0 Disagree0

Zenit met the clause, porto rejected what makes u so sure

Agree0 Disagree0

I have been told by a friend that we may get Doumbia on loan from CSKA Moscow. Don't know how true it is though...

Believable0 Unbelievable12

Loan....

Various rumours stating Pato will be part of a bidding war between Chelsea and Real Madrid tommorow. What do people think of this? Would Pato be a great signing for us?

Believable4 Unbelievable9

I think Pato may be worth getting but on a free next year seeing as he hasnt penned a new contract yet, not worth getting into a bidding war seeing as he's more fragile than robben

Butler-

Agree0 Disagree0

No, he is injured, he is always injured this comes up every year.]

Scruffy

Agree1 Disagree0

He is injured, as he always is.

Agree0 Disagree0

Eds have we officially ended interest in hulk/cavani and started to look elsewhere. {Ed018's Note - both are looking very unlikely right now}

Believable1 Unbelievable2

30 Aug 2012 20:27:57
Ed, do you think it is at all possible to sign Falcao or Hulk? I highly rate both these guys and would love to see one of them at Chelsea. I'd just like to ask if we would make a last gasp effort, maybe on deadline day, to sign one. Falcao would be the best option because I could see him coming on as a sub or start when Torres is being rested and scoring a few goals. But Hulk would be just as good. Thanks
RT {Ed018's Note - I don't think Falcao is going anywhere}

Believable3 Unbelievable1

It would be pretty awesome though if we won, got on the plane with the trophy....... and Falcao.

Agree1 Disagree0

That would be awesome but I have HUGE doubts that it would happen!

Agree0 Disagree0

RDM says we have no interest in signing Falcao. Boo Hiss!!
Paulcfc

Agree0 Disagree0

Like Falcao would want to join us to be a benchwarmer haha

Agree0 Disagree0

30 Aug 2012 19:14:47
Chelsea FC will either sign falcao or hulk before the deadline or they might sign both what do you think ed ? {Ed018's Note - Both. No way}

Believable4 Unbelievable10

Cant see either of them signing to be honest

curt

Agree0 Disagree0

Would prefer Falcao.
Paulcfc

Agree0 Disagree0

Just cant see either happening tbh, the team sheet tomorrow night will tell us more about Falcao and didnt someone mention Hulks future would become public yesterday ?

Butler-

sources close to di matteo have confirmed that has booked a flight and will be in london tomorrow no club yet confirmed EE {Ed018's Note - What are you talking about}

Believable3 Unbelievable5

In London!! To do what??

BlueFox

Agree0 Disagree0

I can confirm this is true, there really are flights expected in London tomorrow

Agree0 Disagree0

What the .... are you on about im confused will di matteo be in london? i can see that considering we got the super cup so the only person i can think your talking about it remy unless your going to make some crazy claim of someone were signing

curt

Agree0 Disagree0

I don't understand!

Agree0 Disagree0

RDM on flight to London?

Agree0 Disagree0

Di matteo will be in london? and?

Agree0 Disagree0

He will of course be in Monaco to coach Chelsea on friday against Atletico, rubbish rumour

Agree0 Disagree0

I would assume he mean Falcao, despite RDM saying there is no interest, we'll know more when the team sheet comes in, if Falcao is missing surely that means hes moving to another club

Either way i cant see Chelsea signing him

Butler-

Agree1 Disagree0

So what?

Agree0 Disagree0

Il be in london tomorrow too , whats goin on :P

Agree0 Disagree0

Yep, RDM will return to London....on a plan following the Super Cup game. Exclusive!

Agree0 Disagree0

Why will RDM be in London tomorrow? Please tell me

Agree0 Disagree0

I think he means Remy - but the post is also saying it could be Spurs or Chelsea

Agree0 Disagree0

What on earth this bloke is on about? BlueAndWhite

Agree0 Disagree0

30 Aug 2012 16:55:39
Spurs had bid rejected for remy, dunno how much he'd cost if we wanted him

Believable2 Unbelievable4

30 Aug 2012 15:57:14
Like i said yesterday, Loic Remy will sign for Chelsea before the deadline. Spurs were interested but they have been told the player only wants Chelsea. Not clear on figures but ive been told Kakuta will be included (either permanetly or loan). Medical will be done tomorrow in France, Remy has been carrying a slight niggling injury in recent weeks, but everybody close to the deal dont anticipate any problems
Im 100% certain on this deal, ill leave my name and email address and if the deal doesnt happen i want the Ed's to ban me permanantly from this site
ShedLower

Believable4 Unbelievable13

If we get someone like Cavani or Schurrle you will be forgiven ;)

Agree0 Disagree0

Love it

Jm10

Agree0 Disagree0

I'll believe this more on hope than anything else, I think it'll be great buy, what do eds think on either player or a deal

Agree0 Disagree0

That's extreme...

Ash

Agree0 Disagree0

I don't know if the information about Loic Remy is true or not, but if it is how about another striker as well, we'd then have 4 main strikers available, and like the two Manchester clubs we'd also have strength in depth up front also. As it's patently clear we need to have 3 or 4 strikers at the club, not just the 2 we have at the moment.

david

Agree0 Disagree0

Wow confidence! I believe if it happens it would be a good signing.

Agree0 Disagree0

Spurs get bid turned down. :a website

Scruffy

Agree0 Disagree0

That's a big statement your making there mate.

Agree0 Disagree0

Thanks for posting that loic really appreciate it welcome to cfc
gareth 1973

Agree0 Disagree0

Looks like your banned then

Agree0 Disagree0

You're banned

Agree0 Disagree0

Both United and City play with 2 strikers, we only play with 1. Therefore we don't need 4 strikers and should be happy with 3.

Agree0 Disagree0

Ban you permanently? why? afterall it is a rumour site, if you are wrong then let it join the thousands like it,, hope its true tho

Agree0 Disagree0

Gael Kakuta is joining Vitesse Arnhem on loan so please stop posting rubbish.

BlueFox

Agree0 Disagree0

Spot on about Kakuta....best ban him now Eds! Lol. ;-)

I hope the signing comes off but I really have no idea if we will manage to sign a striker tbh.

Agree0 Disagree0

Di Matteo says Benayoun and Malouda haven't travelled to Monaco.

Benayoun says he's looking at potential loan deals and is in talks with 2 PL clubs.(From his official twitter)

Believable7 Unbelievable0

Suggestions are the two clubs may be Fulham and West Ham. Not sure about Malouda.

Blue25

Agree0 Disagree0

They never get picked so its possible

Hi Ed, what's the chance Chelsea bid for Neymar on deadline day?
Sorry for the question as I know your sick of hearing it.
But if all else fails they might throw a 60€ million bid to secure someone.
Thanks. {Ed018's Note - I don't know what the chance is, but that'd be fine by me}

Believable5 Unbelievable7

Id take neymar anyday

suppose theres always a chance we bid for him the question is wether it would be accepted

curt

Agree0 Disagree0

30 Aug 2012 14:26:21
Ed, sorry to keep the striker questions going, but can you answer this one pls. Llorenta is looking for a new club, I know other clubs are interested, how ever if someone came up with a sensible offer then surely it would be excepted? In my eyes his better the Remy, so are we interested as a last resort now deadline day is upon us? Again sorry for another striker question as I know you get more than your share. Thanks
Dan73 {Ed018's Note - I'm sure if Chelsea put in a good offer then there would be a chance he'd sign, but I've heard nothing linking Chelsea to him though. That could change last minute though}

Believable0 Unbelievable1

He has a 36 mill buy out clause which athletico are adiment to be met. This i why so many team are pulling out.

Agree0 Disagree0

He's just not versatile he can only play up top while players like cavani hulk and remy can play out wide as well. To me he doesn't make sense.

Tk

Agree0 Disagree0

30 Aug 2012 13:57:34
Just a quick question ED. With Juventus looking at Berbatov and Bendtner does that mean their move for Llorente has collapsed? Thanks =]
Hunter {Ed018's Note - I heard they had pulled out of any deal for Llorente last night. That could change though}

Believable0 Unbelievable0

No chance chelsea might go for Llorente ed018? {Ed018's Note - Not as of right now}

Agree0 Disagree0

30 Aug 2012 13:21:39
Hulk and remy to sign on deadline day.

Believable9 Unbelievable13

Hulk no, Remy yes

Agree0 Disagree0

30 Aug 2012 12:12:41
Hi ed, you think Sturridge will be allowed to go if we dont get a striker in?
Just with Moses in I cannot see Sturridge getting a look in anyway and Piazon proved a clever option up front in pre season {Ed018's Note - No}

Believable1 Unbelievable4

Sturridge is better than Moses and Piazon as a centre-forward

Agree0 Disagree0

Piazon is better than both of them put together you person.

Agree0 Disagree0

30 Aug 2012 10:58:23
ED Will Chelsea sign a striker before the end of the transfer window? {Ed018's Note - We shall see}

Believable5 Unbelievable1

Where's that back to the future sports almanac when you need it hey Ed

NP {Ed018's Note - I was just watching that movie yesterday. Great movie}

Agree0 Disagree0

Has ED002 told u anything ED018 or have you not spoken to him? {Ed018's Note - I have not spoke to him in a week}

Agree0 Disagree0

30 Aug 2012 10:39:13
heard a rumour that chelsea are fighting tottenham for the signature of loic remy so thought id ask the eds if they know anything of this?

curt {Ed018's Note - I had mentioned yesterday that Remy could be target now. I don't believe he is first choice but could be an alternative to other options}

Believable0 Unbelievable1

Ah right ok thanks couldnt find anything on the search so thought id ask

curt

Agree0 Disagree0

IMO a very good option, has a proven goal scoring record, and can play wide right if needed, so will be able to play with Torres as well as back up to him.
Plus he has played in the champs league so has that experience.

Agree0 Disagree0

30 Aug 2012 07:44:20
Chelsea will not sign another striker before tomorrows deadline day. Guaranteed.

Believable13 Unbelievable11

I don't think it is the end of the world if we dont sign a striker. I think Moses is more than capable back up to the other two. There is more than enough creativity in the team and whoever plays as the lone striker will get loads of chances. Saying that I would like to see someone come in.

James26

Agree0 Disagree0

They are certainly trying their best mate. Wouldn't be so sure either

Melbourne cfc

Agree0 Disagree0

I don't see moses as a backup striker but I feel we have depth to play 6 midfielders like Spain did in Euro's if of course Niño or Danny can't play for any reason.

Agree0 Disagree0

I think it would be unwise not to, if Torres gets injured we only have Sturridge to look to and by the sounds of it he wants a move to Liverpool or Spurs. I like Piazon but its way too early for him to go full out in the 1st team. Im pretty sure we will get a striker by tomorrow night and maybe even a CB or DMF. scott m

Agree0 Disagree0

Youngster Nathaniel Chalobah will be loaned out until the new year likely club to be Crystal Palace

Believable7 Unbelievable1

If they can give him 10-15 games that'd be just great!

Agree0 Disagree0

30 Aug 2012 00:48:01
Ed.. With all the talk of Sturridge leaving, if it did happen, would Chelsea try and sign two or still just the one? Just wondering because if they sign one and let Sturridge go.. Then we're back to the same picture with just 2 strikers which is what the club is trying to improve on....!

Thanks

Ash {Ed018's Note - i can't see them signing two strikers. signing one has proved challenging enough}

Believable1 Unbelievable0

Okay thanks Ed, I just don't see why we'd put ourselves back in a position we're so desperately trying to get ourselves out of!

Ash

Agree0 Disagree0

30 Aug 2012 00:08:29
Anything new regarding Higuain as our target for a new striker?

Wild {Ed018's Note - no Higuain as far as i know is not avalible}

Believable1 Unbelievable1

Cheers

29 Aug 2012 23:51:26
Eds sorry if you have answered this but are there backup options to hulk, cavani or schurrle. Or will we make do with the players we have. I think Ben arfa would of been a good choice for RW and maybe Defoe as backup for Torres. Then next year go for a big name striker depending on how well Torres does this year.

NWBLUE {Ed018's Note - Remy has been mentioned. Defoe is not an option. I don't see Ben Arfa moving either}
