Luka Modric to Chelsea a lot of journalists think this is a move that well may happen.

BLUEBLOOD


Ok. We all know that. He's in that same group of 25 other players the journalists think we are signing

He is the player we need in midfield the missing link. .


I don't disagree at all. He is a very good passer of the ball. He sees the whole field. Something we are lacking in our midfielders. It doesn't mean we are gonna make a move for him though

Van Aanholt is CD. A.Cole is over 30. Who do You think is going to replace Lampard? RW is problematic and bringing VDWiel is not any better solution than Bosingwa. Anyway Ivanovic was the best EPL RB in season 2009-2010 not to mention that he was and is first choice RB in CFC. I would like to see Fabregas in CFC but it is not realistic. Lukaku is probable replacment for Drogba. Actualy all depends who is will be new manager and what kind of tactics will chosen(4-4-2, 4-3-3, 4-5-1).

{Ed002's Note - Van Aanholt is a left back and very similar to Cole.}


like the Ed said van aanholt is a left back and one who i think will be a very good player for chelsea in the future. arsenal is not selling us fabregas so don't even worry about that. josh mc. could very well be lampards future repolacement. there is nothing saying we have to sell him this year. if they were to target a pastore or sneijder than it may be a diiferent story. and i do believe chelsea will eventually sign lukaku as drogbas replacement. i personally think drogba is ready to move on. ivanovic is a good right back but he does not want to play there and van der weil will be better attcking.


How many games Van Aanholt played this season? When Cole could not not play LB possition was covered by Zhirkov or Fereira. i didn't say that is going to be sold he will end his career in CFC, but he needs back up. McEachran is more DM than CM he might develope to become good player but CFC needs back up for Lampard ASAP. I've said that signing Fabregas is unlikely his price is 60m. There was rumour tha Ozil might be available for 25m due to Sahin coming to Real on the other hand it is also unlikely because Canales is on his way to Villareal to replace Rossi who is probably go to Barca as back up for Messi&Xavi. Modric is not better player than Kranjcar far worse than Diego. there are no signs that Ioan Gorcouff is CFC targert. Kaka is priced 50m-to much. What are the options? All depends what is going to be tactics of newcoming manager. Is it going to be 4-4-2 or 4-4-2 diamond or 4-3-3. If it is 4-4-2 CFC doesn't need Neymar. Kakuta didn't shine as LW last season and Malouda is 30-31. Anchelotti tried to play 4-4-2 diamond problem was AM since Ballack and Deco left, Lampard is much more CM.

Hey ed, Wagner Riberio - neymar's agent- 's comments on twitter aren't looking too good.
-"Neymar this happy at Santos, do not want to relocate this summer. Want to play much the world interclub en Tokio."
If they're right, are we going to give up or pursue it further? Surely we must spend big this summer?

{Ed002's Note - I gave you everything you need to know about Neymar previously.}

He also said him and pini are not in or around london? Is he lying then ED002? To be honest i don't think he would tell people the truth on twitter anyway.

{Ed002's Note - As I said when you first mentioned all of this they have not been in London. What do I need to do to stop you asking about Twitter.}

I know its very frustrating for you ED002 but one minute the deal is on the next off, He say's a move looks impossible for the summer or is he just saying that. . They may have had talks but not in London as first reported has anything changed on the deal?

{Ed002's Note - I cannot possibly be expected to explain what he says on Twitter. I gave you very exacting details. I sure as hell will never do that again.}

Yes lampard does need a replacement for the future. That's not gonna be Diego or Charlie Adam. Ashley young will end up at united or Liverpool and I think there are better options out there that Chelsea will eventually show interest in. We have Van Aanholt who will be Cole's backup and future replacement so I don't see LB being a big concern right now. Bosingwa will be sold and Chelsea will try and sign a new RB. What your suggesting does not improve Chelsea in my opinion

I think we all know that if neymar does make the move to Chelsea it will be for more than 23 million. People need to stop believing what they read on twitter. I can create a account saying I'm wagner ribiero and say neymar is going to the Columbus crew.

CFC missed Ozil, Khedira & Sahin. Each trasfer was around 10mEUR. Lampard has to be replaced in future. CFC does not have RW as well as back up LB. New manager should consider signing Diego, Adam, A.Young good LB maybe even Clichy cause CFC can afford him as well as one more RW as back up for Young. Bosingwa shoud stay. CFC also needs one more CD.

Just wondering If everyone a break down of who everyone would prefer for the next striker, so I'll suggest click 'believeable' if you want Aguero or Pato, and 'unbelieveable' if you want Cavani or Hulk.

Now a few rumours to ensure this is in teh right section.

Yet another potential new keeper, Romanian giant 23 year old Costel Pantilimon, of Politehnica Timisoara is also attracting some interest.A Croatian source has stated we've signed a pre contract with Ante Vukusic, which seems to be a good idea, he's very promising. Also we may be after Hannover 96's young Bosnian striker Almir Kasumovic again.

There is also strong speculation we may be back in for Ganso, given the potential issues with the strange nature or the Italian rules for out of continent players that have existed since last year and being able to borrow allocations from other clubs, threatening to scupper potential moves to either Milan or Juve, (good news for us, I would want to maintain the Neymar Ganso partnership if possible).

The likely clear out of unwanted players is also slowly being established, Micheal Mancienne, Jack Cork, Hilario, Fabio Borini, Ryan Bertrand and Paulo Ferreira seem likely to be moved on. Personally I's like to see Mancienne and Borini given another loan, they seemed to be developing well not long ago, and I don't believe we should be too hasty, we have a small enough squad as it is (Squad size is another problem that needs to be addressed but putting a winning XI on the park should be the primary priority). Jeffrey Bruma, Jacopo Sala, Gorkhan Tore, Josh McEachran and Milan Lalkovic and Patrick van Anholt all seem set for loan spells as well and Kakuta is probably an even chance to be loaned out again.

We need to stiffen up our defensive midfield our current combination of Mikel, Essien and Ramires works alright, but having Essien and Ramires capable of getting further forward is an asset (my Nigerian friends would at this point note that Mikel plays much further forward for them too). Gueida Fofana, Vadis Odjidja-Ofoe and Kwadwo Asamoah are all youthful, strong exceedingly capable defensive mids, ideally I'd sign two and loan one out for a while.The big name in this field is Moussa Sissoko, I would argue that his 30 million Euro buyout clause is probably worth it.

As for a box to box mid, my preferences are for the likes Joao Moutinho, Steven Defour, Josip Ilicic or Armin Bacinovic. Nuri Sahin is a RM player now, which is a great shame, we've now missed out on three young Bundesliga midfielders (Sahin, Ozil and Khedira) all to Real Madrid.

Next season when Cesc hopefully returns and Barca youngster Thaigo Alcantara (and perhaps his younger brother Rafa) is suddenly pushed to the outer should be considered for a contract. Joao Moutinho is apparently also a Barcelona target, he would go some ways to cover our current midfield frailties, look for example at what Raul Meireles has done for Liverpool.

The young Shaktar Donetsk pair of Alex Teixeira and Douglas Costa would make fine additions. Teixeira was the star of the U 20 World Cup in Egypt in 2009, while Costa has been dubbed the next Ronaldinho. We are already interested in their club compatriot Willian. One of them alongside Alexis Sanchez should be signed for the right. Kaka mow also may be in on the right.

Ed, theres so much bull**** flyin around about our club regarding transfer targets I don't no what to believe. Modric, can't see it! Aguero, from the sounds of things were either to tight or he's to greedy for a deal to ever be done. Lukaku, again the price tag is to much. Neymar sounds like it may happen alongside VDW. But tbh im beginning to find all this guessing abit repetetive and draining to say the least. {Ed002's Note - You pretty much nailed where we are right now. Don't worry about things too much. There is a balance that needs to be recreated with younger players. They may not be the high profile names - Ramires is going to get better and better. Neymar will probably come. A new cycle.}
