Sorry ed who is this fernando everyone is going on about, been away for a week and seem to have missed this. What club does he play for and is he any good. Cheers Calum {Ed002's Note - Porto - he is a fine player.}

Believable1 Unbelievable0

If Chelsea do sign him ed02 Thats the end for Mikel then surely for the depth we have in that DM position as it is {Ed002's Note - Perhaps. Whilst he offers much more than Mikel, I think he is perhaps overplayed under the banner of defensive midfielder.}

Agree0 Disagree0

ED02 did we follow up with any interest with De Rossi? {Ed002's Note - IT came to a pretty abrupt dead end.}

Agree0 Disagree0

Ed , what position does bertrand play and is he any good :) would he be a good addition to the Glasgow rangers team , also have a good time tomorrow with the two best sets of fans in world {Ed002's Note - Bertrand is a left back/left wing back. I don't know if he would be an improvement over what they have or not, but he is a decent player.}

Believable0 Unbelievable3

Its QPR hes linked with not the real rangers

Agree0 Disagree0

Are you joking? 2 best sets of fans in the world? We wouldn't associate ourselves with your lot

Agree0 Disagree0

Is the so called real rangers the support who get banned from europe and destroyed manchester or are we talking about Berwick Rangers

Looking like Ryan Bertrand is going on a season long loan to either QPR or Rangers, sky sports source.
I personally think this would be a excellenrt move for the player and the club. Firstly he will get 1st team football to a high standard with either club and also we have sufficient cover in that position.

ed02 some reports say there will be more discussion for lakuka over the weekend but the sporting director has gone back to belgium and said it can last up until august 31 {Ed002's Note - So as we figured, it can stretch out.}

will lakuka be loaned out ed? {Ed018's Note - i doubt he would be loaned out if Chelsea complete the signing, he seems very willing to fight for a spot and i'm sure that was discussed in the negoitiations}

Believable1 Unbelievable0

ED018 mate with him arriving that must mean Anelka or Drogba will leave i think Kalou will leave also,Btw mate have you heard anything from the meeting RG and AVB had? {Ed018's Note - i expect Anelka to be leaving. I really dont think Drogba will go though. I haven't heard anything from there meeting. Those discussions don't usually leave the room}

Hope he comes sooner rather then later

Still 3 weeks to so I'm expecting at least one major signing before the window closes. I wouldn't be surprised if they are working on some transfers behind the scenes at the club.

Believable4 Unbelievable2

Lets hope so because currently we may have improved the squad marginally but we havent signed on player who is capable of challenging for a 1st team slot this season.
And if we signed Lakaku the same would true.

Agree0 Disagree0

05 Aug 2011 15:31:18
Ed have Chelsea made a bid for fernando he's a great player {Ed002's Note - Chelsea held discussions over Fernando about three weeks ago - it was mentioned at the time. I don't know what the financial state is at present.}

Hi Ed, can i just ask about a couple of rumours, there have been a lot of random ones recently and i was wondering which (if any) are correct, or at least based on some truth. Just to clear it up for myself and others who use this site.
1) Pato - Chelsea (and Kalou to AC)
2) Hazard - Chelsea
3) Fernando - Chelsea
4) Hulk - Chelsea
5) Alex and/or Branislav out
6) Interest in Muller/Kroos? (not sure if these are rumours or just names people want Chelsea to be linked with)
Cheers Ed.
Nick. {Ed002's Note - (1) There has been periodic interest in Pato - I am not sure if it is old stories being recycled or not at present. (2) Nothing at present that I know of. (3) Serious interest. (4) Nothing I am aware of. (5) One or both will likely leave. Alex is most likely. (6) No idea, sorry.}

Cheers, thats great

Romelu Lukaku now has an agreement with Chelsea
According to Het Laatste Nieuws, Lukaku has reached an agreement with Chelsea. Today Herman Van Holsbeeck is negotiating in London. The contract might be signed next week.

Hi Ed,

Am i right in saying that a deal is almost complete for Lukaku?
And has Zhirkov signed for that Russian side with the mad name. Apparently the fee is £15m.
Finally what is the situation with Modric, there are a number of reports saying we are bidding between 30 -38 mill. I know you shouldn't always believe what the media say, but it must come from somewhere. And if he is meant to be our marquee signing why aren't we breaking the bank to get him, cause thats what it'll take. Or is Levy just holding out for the highest fee?? {Ed002's Note - (1) See an earlier answer about Lukaku. (2) Zhirkov has moved to Anzhi - I don't know what the fee is but suspect if will be less than £15M. (3) I know nothing of the Modric situation - sorry.}

what is the point of getting Romeu if barca can get him for just a bit more in one or two years time? It s like chelsea is just a feeder club for barcelona. Thanks for good answers Ed

Believable1 Unbelievable0

Worst case we make money on the deal and have covered Essiens abscence.

Agree0 Disagree0

Because Barca will only buy him back if he is a stand out, or at least greatly improves. i would imagine chelsea will use him sparingly over the next year or two in order to ensure this doesnt happen

Agree0 Disagree0

05 Aug 2011 12:34:09
In regards to Fernando, why would we consider him if we just signed Oriol, another DM? Woudl with mean that Mikel could be on his way out or that Oriol we feature more in the reserves and get a call up when needed? Any thoughts? {Ed002's Note - He would be a great buy and offers a lot more than Mikel.}

Believable2 Unbelievable0

I would asume, but obviously dont know, that if Fernando came Mikel would be on his way. Oriol is only 19 but AVB has big plans for him, and really rates him so i can only imagine that Oriol will get playing time, which might not be possible with two more senior DMs infront of him. From what i have read Fernando played every game AVB managed at Porto, and was a key reason as to why they never lost. I would like to see him at the club because he seems more dynamic than Obi and obviously knows AVBs style, but obviously only if other midfielders are moved on, we already have more than enough

Agree0 Disagree0

Lukaku deal agreed. To be completed over weekend or early next week.

I have been reading a few rumours about malaga coming in for torres. Personaly i can't see this happening because it took us ages to get him and then to sell him after 1/2 season makes no sense Ed's, please tell me this is not true? {Ed002's Note - No, it is not true.}

Where is this coming from?

What is it with these people posting this tosh on the site all the time.

Agree0 Disagree0

Idiot

Agree0 Disagree0

Get back to your liverpool rumours site you sad little man. Don't go posting rubbish on others sites purely for the fact that you've shelled out £40 mil on Downing and Henderson. Sort your life out.

Ed is it true we are holding talks with lukakus agents and anderlechts reps today? Thanks {Ed002's Note - I am not sure what was planned for today but there was a discussion yesterday and all I know is that there remains the disparity in price. As such, I am not so sure much has really changed. I assume Van Holsbeeck must be willing to negotiate otherwise I don't suppose the trip will be any more worthwhile than the last one. I am aware of the rumours that a deal could be reached sooner rather than later, but it will very much depend on Anderlecht dropping their asking price.}

Believable1 Unbelievable2

Thanks ed, what is your personal opinion on Lukaku as a player? {Ed002's Note - He is just a kid and probably needs a great deal of work before he would be ready for teh first team.}

Agree0 Disagree0

Ed02 if he does sign anelka

Agree0 Disagree0

Will anelka leave or drogba if he does sigb we are striker heavy ed02 {Ed002's Note - Drogba will leave if he wants to, Chelsea will be happy for Anelka to leave and I suspect Kalou's future at Chelsea is no too bright.}

Agree0 Disagree0

According to the Turkish press yesterday, Hamit Altintop wants out of Real despite only having been there 5 minutes, and not having played a game
yet- talking about going back to Galatasary in January to get some respect. Although at 28 he is perhaps a bit old, an attacking mid able to play on both wings can surely get a bit of respect at CFC
Just a thought

hi ed
with oriol joining chelsea do you know if barca have a stipulation that he can,t play if we draw them in the cl. {Ed002's Note - I have no idea, sorry.}

Believable0 Unbelievable0

You can only do that with loan players.

Agree0 Disagree0

05 Aug 2011 00:25:08
Clinching deals for De Bruyne and Lukaku would do for me. De Bruyne could replace Zhirkov in the squad, with PVA being Ashley Cole's understudy. Lukaku is still very raw, but with unlimited potential, he could be very useful as a impact sub. Modric would complete the squad but we are talking about crazy figures so we will see.
If Modric does come then i think Josh will go out on loan.
Excited and Nervous feelings are starting to build, new season is getting closer. Come on you Blues

Any development on Rajkovic getting his work permit? Would be great to have in the team. {Ed002's Note - An application is to be made under the talent exemption.}

Hi ed002, do u know the hold up regarding Tevez moving from Man City? It's been a long time since he said he will be leaving, I'm surprised teams aren't knocking at the door. The reason for me asking this is because I think this move will get the ball rolling as regards to more signing being made. Oh and are Chelsea considering an approach or does he just want to escape the uk? {Ed002's Note - They need a club to buy him. Inter's offer is not good enough and they are holding out, I guess, on an offer from Real Madrid.}

We have bid on table for neymar, and have done for quite a while, any reason why it's taking so long for any news to come out, has the bid been
Accepted or rejected, is it a case if waiting o talk to player or what? Cheers Matt {Ed002's Note - There has been no shortage of news about Neymar - it just flip-flops on a day-by-day basis. The player wants to stay at Santos at least until Christmas and possibly longer. Everything we knew originally is still true - but the price has gone up another 10M euro. It'll drag on.}
