Eds i'm asking on the chelsea page as he's a player we have been linked with, Has rakitic signed or close to signing for barcelona. So reports say he's signed for £18m

{Ed002's Note - There is a chance that Rakitic will agree a new deal with Sevilla who want to keep him but offers from Atletico Madrid, Barcelona and Real Madrid are being considered. Chelsea have rekindled interest with some recent discussions and the chance of a player moving in exchange - and have recruited some assistance to try and get a deal done, but they are not confident it can be. If Atletico can hold on to Koke it is likely Barcelona will push for Rakitic.}

Just of curiosity about lampard, did he turn down a new contract or was one never offered?

{Ed002's Note - One was offered but it was never going to happen. They will not offer another to FL now.}

Hey ed, was reading the liverpool page and you mentioned that it might be too late for them to make a move on ryan bertrand. Would you be able to expand on this at all, understand if you don't wish to.

{Ed002's Note - There are other clubs (Hull and Spurs) showing an interest and Liverpool are not.}

I'm sorry but I will be utterly pi$$ed off if we sell lukaku, has given his all and has had 2 good seasons in epl for 2 different sides, yeah he might have upset Chelsea but we have treated him so bad.

Has anything changed ed? Or still the same as before

{Ed002's Note - Certainly Chelsea has not treated Lukaku badly. You are miles off the mark there. None of what has happened is Chelsea's doing.}

I believe the person to blame is lukaku otherwise he wouldn't be eating so much humble pie.

I really hope he doesn't go permanently. I think we will be demanding a very significant fee for him and with Dortmund having just bought Immobile and Roma now looking elsewhere maybe another loan is a possibility. I doubt we will sell to Spurs. Maybe Atletico are the only team who could yet still get him.

MB1, I believe we've considered and spoken to BVB about signing Aubameyang so he could be a replacement for him. As for the fee, the figures being mentioned in the papers are roughly what we paid for him 2/3 years ago.

I'd hope we make a little profit on him if we sell him. He should definitely command a fee larger than what we paid, the guy just had 2 good seasons in England and is still only 21.
Aubameyang is an interesting player and if Lukaku is sold I think he's one of the better choices to go get.

I know we have been in correspondence with BVB about Aubameyang but Aubameyang has been operating on the right side of midfield for then this season. With Lukaku and Immobile being two out and out strikers I don't think it will appeal to them much.

What has lukaku done?

{Ed002's Note - It is unimportant and we don't discuss it.}

Yes I know ed what I mean is never giving him a chance when we first got him

Hi ED, (1) are we signing any of Pogba, Koke or Kroos even if we sign Fabregas or just one among all? Personally I prefer the other targets 2 Fabregas.(2) Again, now that Costa is a done deal, which other strikers are we pushing for @ d moment? Thanks

{Ed002's Note - (1) I can tell you where interest is in players, but in most cases I cannot say who will actually sign. (2) Nothing has changed.}
