ED018 OR ED002 a few questions

1) My opinion is know that Lakaka looks a deal done the next signings will be a Left centre mid and a Left winger what do you think?

2) Anelka or Kalou must be leaving or even both ?

3) If we sign Fernando we will have way too many Midfielders do you think we will sign him?

4) A left winger seems our biggest problem with Lakaku signing do you think we could tempt Hazard? who is fed up of lille?

Cheers Blueblood {Ed018's Note - 1. i think Modric wil be priority. 2. Yes i'd expect Anelka to leave. 3.Fernando is possible, and if that was to happen I'd expect Mikel to be sold. 4. I don't know what they have planned as far as targets for left wing at this point, we tried with Neymar and asked about Di Maria but i'm not sure whats next if anything.}

ed , you seen the game today and do you not think if rangers get into Europe loaning us a midfielder or striker would be good for you'd , give them experience of playing week in week out and then they would come back to yous with slot of first team experience also a better player , good luck for the season mate TRUEBLUES CHELSEA RANGERS {Ed018's Note - I can't see Chelsea loaning any midfielder to Rangers, and i'm not sure if i'm reading your question right, but Rangers are already out of Europe}

Believable0 Unbelievable2

Europa league mate :) think theyd game experience {Ed018's Note - they got knocked out of the Chapions league qualifying. there is no Europa league for them}

Agree0 Disagree0

They are in europa league they play maribor, ed. {Ed018's Note - my bad then}

Agree0 Disagree0

As a rangers fan i would happily take mcecheran on loan lol
super young player

There seems to be some rumours that Josh McEachran is off to Rangers for a season long loan. Is there any truth in this? I personally think this would be a bad idea and should stay with Chelsea this season. {Ed018's Note - I have not heard this and this would not be a good idea}

Believable1 Unbelievable2

Ed keep up the good work . Do you know if lukaku will be a regular starter {Ed018's Note - he wont be a starter, i dont' think AVB knows whether to start Torres or Drogba at this point. Lukaku is for the future}

i,m a rangers fan and was wondering why chelsea seem to be wanting to get rid of sturridge all the time,,,,,,the boy is class and will save you a fortune in the market,,,,go on give him a chance,,,,,davy the bear {Ed018's Note - he's not going anywhere this season, if they send him on loan its a big mistake}

With the recent departure of Yuri Zhirkov and the lack of consistent form of Florent Malouda and Gael Kakuta i think it is now time Chelsea looks at bringing an out and out attacking midfielder/winger.

The three choices that stand out to me are-

1. Eden Hazard - Pace, trickery and creative. Excellent attacking ability and provides the much needed pace and direct attacking we lack.

2. Adam Johnson - Quality crossing and ball control. Also he is young and english and also brings out right width to the field.

3. Hulk - Pace, POWER and finishing he is a complete attacker. He is built for the premiership and has all the qualities we lack when attacking. Unfortuantly Porto wont be willing to sell unless a ridiculous offer comes in for him.

Here are three options i think we should explore and along with a attacking midfielder like a Luka Modric or Douglas Costa and the breaking news of Lukaku joining us well have a real go at all this seasons competitions.

Believable2 Unbelievable0

Good list but would prefer Di Maria over Johnson, although he is english which is a bonus.

Agree0 Disagree0

06 Aug 2011 21:19:04
De Bruyne taken off on a stretcher with a serious injury unfortunately.
He was one of our targets at one time and still maybe, although things stalled due to us wanting him to go on loan according to the Eds.

hi ED
do you think lukaku will arrive in time for stoke? {Ed002's Note - No idea, sorry.}

Believable2 Unbelievable3

You dont seem to be the biggest fan of guessing at timescales ed002. understandable :) {Ed018's Note - well its doubtful he will be included for that match}

are arsenal most likely to sign dann ed02? {Ed002's Note - I suspect Liverpool are.}

Believable2 Unbelievable1

06 Aug 2011 20:19:05
If lukaku does come we must get rid of anelka or kalou because we are also in need of a winger so we would have a surplus of forwards.

Ed002 seems as we have an agreement with Anderlecth for Lukaku, do you know what the fee is? {Ed002's Note - No, not yet. And it really doesn't matter.}

Believable0 Unbelievable0

I guess your right. I just feel like we are getting him rather cheap and made a really good deal. Atleast not paying as big an overprice as we did with torres, but i guess you cant compare since the circumstances where really different

Agree0 Disagree0

Yes we have it just been announced on cfc website

Agree0 Disagree0

On Sky Sports News they said it is believed to be around 18 million pounds

Agree0 Disagree0

The deal for Lukaku did not hinge on the amount itself but on the downpayment up front.

Statement from the Anderlecht website :-
The RSCA and Chelsea FC have reached an agreement regarding the final transfer of Romelu Lukaku. Subject to the results of medical tests and the conclusion of negotiations between the player and the English club, Romelu Lukaku will therefore evolve in the colors of the training from the London season from 2011 to 2012."We regret the departure of Romelu, we discovered and which was formed in Sporting, but the agreement is a win win situation for the player and the RSCA. Management is committed to finding a good replacement in the short term" , said general manager Herman Van Holsbeeck. "We wish him every success for the rest of hisArvioi knns

Believable3 Unbelievable1

Welcome Lukaku.
You see fans we will be bringining in young talent..have faith...
Now lets say thanks and goodbye to anelka and or mabe kalou.

C'mon you Blues.

Agree0 Disagree0

Excellent signing from the club, well done roman, could this now be the ennd for either anelka or kalou and finally sturridge has to be in the team what a player who can give us the width we need.

Is chelseas intrest in alexandre pato real or is it just rumour ed? {Ed002's Note - Maybe - it is certainly not clear whether it is an old rumour being recycled or not.}

ED, Have Chelsea signed: Gael Etock,Thibaut Courtois,oriol romeu,Islam feruz and piazon is
that all because we were supposed to spend big {Ed002's Note - They have either signed or about to sign. Efforts will no doubt be made to sign others.}

Believable0 Unbelievable0

We have bid for Sanchez, Aguero, and Pastore and have bids on the table for Neymar and Modric - how many do you people want?

Yuri Zhirkov has completed his trasnfer from Chelsea. source - sky sports.

Defender Yuri Zhirkov has completed his move from Chelsea to Anzhi Makhachkala, the Russian club has confirmed.

Good move for all parties and hopefully the start of our pursuit for either Eden Hazard or Adam Johnson.

Believable6 Unbelievable0

This is good news, i think zhirkov had potential but was never allowed to release it, so for him its a good move, it frees up a space for us to sign a good replacemnt.

but........wait till roman wants to buy him back for double in 2 seasons when he looks good

Javier Pastores recent comments, soource skysports.

"What I am experiencing is very nice," he told Eurosport. "This will be an important moment in my career, the most important so far.

"I am not joining a league as big as England or Spain, but Le Championnat de France will bring me a lot on a personal level and for my sporting improvement.

"At Chelsea or in another club, I would have not played as often as I could hope. I believe at Paris I will play and will be able to show my value."

Sounds like he doesnt believe in his own ability or he is just making excuses to hide the fact he has gone to psg for money. If Chelsea were going to pay £35 -£40m for him he would have been starting or at least being prep'd for life in the premier league and playing a massive role this season. Excuses i believe.

ed Shinji Kagawa wud b perfect any interest {Ed002's Note - Not that I am aware of.}

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Sure he would only Dortmund won't sell him for any amount

What will happen if alex goes ed02 will rajkovic take his place if his visa gets sorted? But if it doesnt is dann a viable option? Also is bosingwa staying? {Ed002's Note - Keep in mind Luiz came in in during the January window. It is unclear who is staying and going at the moment.}

Believable0 Unbelievable0

06 Aug 2011 12:08:22
Ed ..Is the AVB quote that we dont need to add to the squad a current one?
And more importantly is it a cover for ongoing negotiations?
If not we are destined for a glorious 3rd in the league this season {Ed018's Note - i think he made that statement right before their first preseason match, i'm not sure if he has stated that again. Chelsea have been rather quiet in regards to their buisness this summer and i still believe we will sign a few more players}

Believable2 Unbelievable0

What's happened with kakuta. Not heard anything of him all pre season. Do you think he'll be with the first team or loaned out again? {Ed002's Note - He is at the U20 world cup.}

Believable2 Unbelievable1

He'll be sold soon i reckon.. lot of uneeded hassle he has been with the transfer embargo

Agree0 Disagree0

He hasn't been with the transfer embargo. Where have you been? He had first team appearances with us last season until he was loaned to fulham in January. ED-any idea how he performed in the under 20 world cup and if he'll be loaned out again? {Ed018's Note - i haven't been leeping up with the U-20 world cup at all. He's another player i think Chelsea need to keep this year and give him some time to see if he will be apart of their future plans}

Agree0 Disagree0

06 Aug 2011 04:04:54
ED,
Are we connected to any of the Left Wingers?
Di Maria would have been a good choice. But suspect, Real Madrid would let him go. Juan Mata is poised to stay at Valencia.
Arda Turan would be a very good option. So, I suppose, we should have looked and might be looking desperately to an option.
We may proceed without an Attacking Mid (if none of the bids can be finalized.) till half season as we have Lampard, even Mceachren, Benayoun, Ramires all fit.
As Zhirkov leaving now, the need for the left wing is even prominent.
Aren't we? {Ed002's Note - There will probably be a left sided player coming in over the next few weeks. But at the moment it seems that Malouda will probably be staying so it may be more of a left sided midfield player. Although right-footed, de Bruyne remains the most likely option if the "loan" issue can be resolved.}

06 Aug 2011 02:50:40
Hey Ed, are Chelsea still interested in Willian and what about his much more talented team mate Douglas Costa? {Ed002's Note - Willian gives no more that Kakuta and probably remains of more interest to Arsenal than Chelsea. I suspect that Douglas Costa will be hitting some headlines over the next few weeks and he looks likely to move. I am not so sure Chelsea will have any interest, so we have to wait and see what the response is to the first move, whcih will almost certainly come from Roma.}

reports from santos manager are saying that if ganso wishes to leave the club they will have no problem with that. but with a number of clubs beleived to be interested in him i think we need to act quickly and with no nonsense and get tthis deal completes ed018 have you heard anything along these lines thanks {Ed018's Note - i have not heard anything but AC Milan and probably PSG would be leading the race to sign him.}

Believable2 Unbelievable1

I wasnt aware we were interested in Ganso, and i thought he had his heart set on AC... {Ed002's Note - Ganso has his heart set on AC Milan as you suggest, but Milan still have a non-EU quota issue to resolve if they are to sign him. The quota's can be increased by borrowing from other teams in exchange for players on loan - which seems to me like it should not be allowed, but it is. Chelsea are keeping a watching brief as they continue their long term interest and I imagine that the reported Manchester United interest is similar. PSG, Inter Milan and Barcelona have also shown an interest in the player. Anzhi Makhachkala have had a 40M euro bid rejected. I suspect he may stay in Brazil until next year and mover to Milan then.}

Agree0 Disagree0

06 Aug 2011 00:08:04
In your opinion who do you think would be a better fit for chelsea. Yann M'villa or Fernando as i see them both playing in a similar role and both being available around the same price £15m - £20m. Thanks {Ed018's Note - i would prefer Fernando}

Believable3 Unbelievable0

Whats with all these people wanting Yann M'villa, he is not that great, and i havnt read or heard anything to suggest we are or ever have been interested in him {Ed002's Note - Inter, Arsenal, Manchester United, Juventus, Genoa and perhaps Liverpool & Chelsea have shown an interest or enquired about M'Vila this summer. He will likely move to Inter MIlan or possibly stay with Rennes where he signed an extension.}

Agree0 Disagree0
