Any interest in Kovacic Ed? And do you think there is a chance he might leave Madrid?
{Ed001's Note - there is a chance as they need to offload a few to build for the future. He is one that is potentially available but he is not currently, as far as I am aware, being pursued by Chelsea. I seem to remember them showing interest before he joined Madrid though, so it could change if the price is right in the summer.}

Cheers mate. Do you think he could fit in well here? I think he’d be perfect for us.
{Ed001's Note - he would be an upgrade on Fabregas imo. A good fit alongside Kante. He is basically what they seemed to think they were getting with Drinkwater before they realised he wasn't actually that good in reality. The 'pinpoint' passes to Vardy that impressed at Leicester turned out to be into a vague area for Vardy to chase. You don't get that kind of space to hit, nor do you have a frontman with that kind of pace to get it if you did.}

I think he’d be good next to Kante also. He’s very under-rated Kovacic he’s a deep lying playmaker who can dribble and he’s also deceivingly quick. Even if we can’t sign the big names like Savic and Vidal for there I’d definitely like to see Kovacic in especially next to Kante and RLC that midfield would have everything.
{Ed0333's Note - that would be tasty indeed

Can any of the eds give an update on the list of players Chelsea are interested in for the summer and do you see Hazard and Tibo leave in the coming transfer window?
Thanks.
{Ed001's Note - the club has to sort out the manager situation before player movements can be truly organised. If the right team comes in for Courtois ie Spanish capital-based, then he wants to go. So that is very possible.}

What do people think he is worth? Young keeper I’d want £60m plus, and get oblak or Allison.
05 Apr 2018 13:27:01
Butland. Every day of the week. £40m and he’s ours. Get shot of Courtois and Hazard and re-invest the money.
05 Apr 2018 14:04:36
Not Allison - did you see him last night?!
05 Apr 2018 15:53:19
It’s got to be Oblak? But why would he want to join us in the Europa.
05 Apr 2018 17:24:07
I saw courtois v Barcelona get nutmegged from byline and from 18 yards away, won’t judge a keeper on one bad day, his quality keeper,
05 Apr 2018 17:28:40
He still conceded 4 against Barcelona, where as Butland has NEVER conceded any! ;)
But all seriousness, foreign keepers need settling in time, remember what De Gea was like when he first arrived at United? Butland counts for the home quota too. A good World Cup and wouldn't surprise me if other clubs went in for him.

Butland is average 😂.
06 Apr 2018 08:20:03
If we got Butland, it would be another great statement. A statement that we have no ambition and that we’re a team that’ll only buy second grade players.
