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.

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

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.

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

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

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}

Cant see either of them signing to be honest

In London!! To do what??
BlueFox
Agree0

I can confirm this is true, there really are flights expected in London tomorrow
Agree0

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

I don't understand!
Agree0

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-

So what?
Agree0

Il be in london tomorrow too , whats goin on :P
Agree0

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

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

That's extreme...
Ash
Agree0

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.

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.

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

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

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}

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

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

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.

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}

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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}

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}
