Ed002 on the City page:

'Kai Havertz (AM) another David Silva replacement - but heading elsewhere. '

As good as deal done for me.

To be fair, Ed did sort of say that a couple of times on here already. Since then, I’ve been sleeping a whole lot easier, goes without saying things can change but « it should be » done. Good times ahead lads, good times.

Brilliant that it’s happening, but not surprised as Ed’s said it should happen, more surprised as I though foden was the David silva replacement.

ED002, any update on Willian and if he does decide to leave . who are we looking at to replace him?

{Ed002's Note - Nothing has changed.}

Lol. Love the optimism.

TBF if Willian does leave who are our options as CHO hasn't developed as hoped and it would leave us short on the wings. I much prefer Werner down the middle although appreciate he could do us a job there if needed.

Could I perhaps ask for some info on the following players Ed and where they might end up after the summer;
Baba rahman
Bakayoko
Drinkwater
Kennedy
Batshuyai.

{Ed002's Note - Baba Rahman (LB) is available and happy to stay at Mallorca but Chelsea don't want another loan but have no other viable options. There was a discussion with Rennes but they have a preferred option.
Danny Drinkwater (CM) Chelsea want him moved on - available.
Kenedy (LM/LW/LB) Getafe were expected to take up their option and maybe sell him on - that has cjanged with the pandemic - avaiable.
Michy Batshuayi (S) Chelsea had no interest in letting him go in January and Chelsea will want a sale this summer. Crystal Palace may offer an option - Marseille would do but they have FFP problems and other issues to deal with first. Fenerbahce will look to a loan to buy or a very cheap buy. Leeds or Newcastle may provide a solution. His agent is working hard to define the options.}

Hi Ed002, would the Crystal Palace option for Batshuayi include Zaha?

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed002's Note - No.}

03 Aug 2020 11:46:18
I would like to think we might eventually get some cash for Michy and Bakayoko?

Much appreciated Ed.

TomB, think PSG and Bayern have had a look at Bakayoko, but where he is on their lists of preferred targets, no idea. But he does have potential suitors.

Thanks for the information Fuser.

Hi Ed hoping for a little more info on a matter you’ve discussed early last month. I know you have no interest in the defence in general having received grief on here from the ungratefuls but I wanted to know if there has been any additions or updates to the list of goalkeepers Chelsea have declared/ shown an interest in that you provided. It seemed to sum up as; Cakir (Club willing to listen to offers for him), Onana (Again given Van der sars comments seems like Ajax would be willing to do business), Donnarumma (high wages putting Chelsea off), Strakosha ( Lazio not willing to sell), Maignan and meret have been watched along with Musso.

Can any of these be scratched from the list Ed or is there one or two new names the club has decided to look towards since the season has all but come to a close.

{Ed002's Note - The GKs are part of the defence and the list changed a while ago.}

03 Aug 2020 10:08:36
I know it’s all part of the defence, but your stance seemed to have softened last month regarding the GK position specifically and was super grateful for the last list. Fair doos if your not willing to provide more, it is your info and you can obviously decide what to do with it.

Agree0 Disagree0

Ed02 please update us on the defence. We are crying out for info!

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed002's Note - THis is simply tedious.}

03 Aug 2020 11:02:58
Come on guys, I think Ed02 has made his stance on the defence quite clear.

Agree0 Disagree0

03 Aug 2020 11:13:39
Seriously guys? Can't you just accept no for an answer? I get frustrated seeing questions being asked to the Ed's about the defence knowing full well that they won't provide any info, so god knows how's the Ed's feel. Can we just all act mature and accept someone else's decision?

Agree0 Disagree0

Doesn’t look like we will be getting any info on defence this summer lads. Someone took a cheeky shot last month for an update on the GK position and Ed gave us that last list but looks like GK info is being quarantined along with the rest of the information on defence. I personally think we will only get a LB this summer and let Emerson go with Alonso staying and stick with Reece and Azpi at RB and Zouma Tomori Christensen and Rudi as our CB when the window closes. Also see Kepa staying and fighting for his place alongside a reasonably priced new GK (Pope, Onana or Cakir), Kepa is frustrating because he is probably one of the best distributors of the ball with both feet in the world from GK which seems to be a massive skill to have in modern football but he is terrible at the absolute basics of Goalkeeping including positioning, strong wrists and attacking Ariel balls. I think clubs are viewing the January window in a more positive light after the recent successes of Van Dijk and Bruno Fernandes and May rely on incorporating it into their season plans more than they would have in the past, I think CB might be saved For 2021 onwards if we can’t get what we want this summer, we didn’t sign anyone in January because we couldn’t get what we wanted and I don’t think that stance is going to change.

If you look on the European site or other teams sites you can sometimes find references the defenders that Chelsea might be interested in.

Also, they are always good for a laugh.

Yeah my bad, sorry Ed02! Won’t ask again.
