Chelsea Editors, thanks for all the hard work and to pay back for it, next time you get a question about anything we regularly talk about (A new RB, new wingers, striker etc), just post the below paragraph in a cut-and-paste job to save the effort of needing to answer the same things you have over and over again.
Dear All,
This transfer window, we will try and bring in two or three players provided no players leave. The positions we are looking to fill are RB, RW/LW and Striker/CF. These positions may change if any players leave or if a youth player is promoted. The main targets for RB and RW/LW are Cesar Azplicueta and Victor Moses, from Olympic Marseille and Wigan Athletic respectively. Numerous strikers have been discussed. These include Edison Cavani (SSC Napoli), Radamel Falcao (Athletico Madrid), Leandro Damiao (Internacional), Hulk (FC Porto) (Who could also function as a winger in the above positions referenced) Wilfred Bony and Robert Lewandoski (Borussia Dortmund). If the player you are about to ask has been omitted from this list, we are unlikely to have any chance of signing them. We have already discussed the above players at great length and nothing new can said about them at the moment. Please stop asking about transfers such as Neymar, Ganso etc as they have already been spoken about at length and nothing has changed. Also please stop picking random names out of the air or other random players linked with transfers as we are unlikely to be linked with them. Please save the Editors a lot of effort and if you think the question has already been asked, use the search function and check before you ask.
Cheers all.

Niceone cfcforever fair play! BLUEBOY1

Hopefully Ed, unfortunately, why be sensible and read that when they could bother you with the same question ten times a day without having to care what you think?
CFCFOREVER!

Spot on, That should be temporarily made the title of the page ;)

Rich

Not entirely correct though, as chelsea arent looking at victor moses for the rw/lw position, he will be a squad player. if hulk or cavani are not signed a few players already at chelsea would start over moses

Please could you explain the neymar situation one last time.

Samir {Ed002's Note - Try the search function please Samir.}

In all fairness, I appreciate the post, and no disrespect, but expect Chelsea to be linked with a couple of other players, mainly just paper talk, but fans want to know the right from wrong, isn't that what this site is all about? Yes the repetitive posts are just annoying, but linking with new players I find necessary. Sorry to any offence.

Devon.

To the above post, whilst you are correct in the fact that Moses will be bought as a squad player and not necessarily a starting place, you'll find CFCFOREVER correct in saying that Moses is the target for RW/LW. With the players we have at our disposal, we're currently looking for cover for Hazard, Marin and Mata who will undoubtedly be the starters for those positions. Not to mention that RDM likes to play Ramires in the RW role and Sturridge can also play there. Therefore it is highly unlikely we will pursue a RW that will demand a starting place in the line up.

Random players out of thin air... like Oscar?

I think this post shall shut down the site, as after this there would be nothing to ask to EDs. No one would dare to ask any questions if you create so much havoc. Just leave it.

CFC Rules

To the pedantic poster above....it appears the word "competition" was missed from the original post in regards to the players joining. Give the original poster some credit instead of picking holes!

Yes true, but if hulk is signed then he is more than likely going to be starting as a right winger, where he is currently playing for brazil.

are we going to sign cavani or hulk before the transfer window closes?

are we sending thorgan hazard on loan {Ed002's Note - I would doubt it.}

Pretty happy we lost today further proves how much we need a striker if we do not sign another striker we could be in some trouble anything knew on the striker hunt ED? {Ed002's Note - No.}

Happy we lost? Unbelievable.

There were next to no chances created and we were far too slow in our build up play....how would a striker fix either of those issues? What today did prove is that there is a need for quality throughout the squad to drive competition for places.

Again everyone is going to blame Torres
Again he had no service
Time to look at other players to blame

Agree with the post above Torres had no service once again!

It's because we play slow football which stems from the back four and Mikel!

What's the point having all these creative players if we're going to play around the back 4

No service? How about go get the ball and stop waiting for it!

He didnt do anything to get the service, another idol ball watcher, different story for Spain though.

Can't blame Mikel his job is to defend and to play it to Meireles and Lampard

This is laughable. Torres didn't get any touches early in the game so he had to drop deep into an overly crowded midfield. Name one clear chance he had in the game. He was the best player we had in the attacking third no question.

Tk

Meireles not good enough for Chelsea
Essen not the player he was

Any truth in the rossi rumours ed? {Ed002's Note - I don't know of any Rossi rumours.}

Looks like Moura to Inter, a move Ed has long maintained is the preferred outcome of Moura's agent. I take it we will not intercede and have dropped all interest at this point? {Ed002's Note - Chelsea drew a line across the matter when they hit a price at what they thought was already more than he was worth to the club. There were some recent discussions but it was in relation to a proposal that was never going to be acceptable to Chelsea.}

Hi ed with more reports of dan Sturridge being unsettled ,if he was to leave would we then look to bring in two high profile strikers or keep lukaku rather than sending him out on loan . Thanks for your time
Mickeydroyledge {Ed002's Note - We would wait until it happens.}

Hi ed, I know its just throwing around names, something you're not particularly fond of, but would Chelsea be interested in Yann M'Vila. In my eyes he would fit our 4-2-3-1 system perfectly and complement a more attack minded centre-mid like Ramires well.

Rowan {Ed002's Note - There is no interest right now.}

U agree we need a solid player in that position, and there are so many choices Javi Martinez, Fellani, Capoue and Yann so why dont we try on capture on of these talent as we have a far greater reutation than their clubs.

I think thats a brilliant idea, but i cant see it happening. I think after a few improved performances from Essien, he will stay and fill that role. But M'Vila would give us defensive solidity, good passing game and a lot more pace. We could end up with a brilliant attacking team, especially with Luiz and Cole in defence too
