Hey Ed, this so call attacking midfielder we have been scouting from Italy is Lazio's Christain Ledesma. He is very versatile and creative but his fee would command 15mil pounds and he's 28. Lazio have shown interest in want away Fabio Borini and we could possibly do a swap. He was recommended by our scouts. What's your thoughts Ed? {ed's note - there is a shortage of players at their peak, but I am not sure that he is really the answer to that. Seems a strange one when Chelsea lack a holding midfielder, Mikel is just not good enough there. Surely that should be priority with the limited funds available?}

Chelsea Rumours
Chelsea may make a move for Phil Jones in January. Carlo Anchelotti witnessed the players talent last season and in our clash at Ewood park this season where the 18-year old center back got the man of the match. Since then Anchelotti has instructed scouts to keep an eye on him. Frank Arnesen has also scouted the player himself and he could influence a move in January. His price tag is thought to be 10mil pounds and Arsenal and Manchester Untied are also vying for Jones' signature but Chelsea is thought to be leading the race for him. What's your thoughts Ed? {ed's note - you know Arnesen has left and is not going to influence anything at the club anymore don't you?}

He's leaving at the end of the season Ed and hes left us with some names which can help the squad.

No Ed, he's Brazilian his team mate who is also linked with us and is on the brink of leaving, Fabio Coentrao is Portugese.Any truth in the above rumour ed? {ed's note - I do believe that Chelsea have a long standing interest in Luiz, as do many other clubs, but his price has always stopped him joining in the past. I can't see that changing, same with Coentrao, they are just too expensive. I am still surprised Luiz is actually Brazilian, I remember him playing for Vitoria at the age of 16, he must have moved at an early age.}

Concerning Luiz's price tag ed, Benfica will ask for at least 25mil but I think that Chelsea could offer 20mil plus a player probably Ferreira? Your thoughts ed? {ed's note - he was valued at well over 30m in Euros a couple of seasons ago, I can't see them dropping their price tag.}

Chelsea Rumours
Hey Ed any idea who this Serie A star is? {ed's note - I don't mate, I think you can safely rule out anyone from Milan as Carlo would surely know all he needs to know about their players. I would suggest it could be Coutinho as Chelsea did show an interest in him in the summer but were told he was not for sale.}

Do you think it can be Marek Hamsik, Javier Pastore or Josip Ilicic Ed? {ed's note - they are all possible, the problem with them is again price. While Roman would, I believe, get the chequebook out for the right player, it would be someone who would not just benefit the team but also the marketing men. That is why someone like Kaka would be of interest even though he would not be cheap.}

Chelsea to make a move for Benfica center back David Luiz in January.Anchelotti is known to be an admirer of the Brazilian but we face stiff competition from money bags City and Milan as they are using fellow Brazilian and friend Thiago Silva to influence Luiz to sign for Milan. If they are out priced they will turn to Phil Jones of Blackburn or Gregory Van Der Weil of Ajax. {ed's note - isn't Luiz Portugese?}

Chelsea Rumours
With Frank Arnesen leaving the club this could set back our transfer plans. Arnesen has been looking long and hard to find a new center back and an attacking midfielder for the club. Because of the fitness issues of Lampard and JT had put the scouting staff on red alert to find a couple of captures.Arnesen made a personal check on Blackburn's Phil Jones recently while his top men were in Italy to watch a Serie A star only yesterday.

The Chelsea chief was also lining up meetings with agents about players for those positions.

The move will also be a shock for Arnesen's army of staff. He has built up a team of trusted scouts who work around the globe and their future will be uncertain.

What's your thoughts on this ed? {ed's note - it is a very strange move, to cause all this turmoil to the club mid-season. It should have been done once the season finished.}

Not a rumour, we are an ageing squad who are in need of several reinforcments. Ed any ideas if we will be buying in january. In my opinion if we don't I can't see us winning a thing. {ed's note - I don't expect much to happen at all, but I do expect one signing defensively as Bruma does not seem to be trusted.}
We are in need of a striker as kalou is not up to it, Drogba is getting on and Anelka is not doing it at present any rumours on any possible signings.
