Chelsea Rumours Archive August 07 2012

I have 4 things to ask:

1)Leandro Damiao has put in another brilliant performance so Chelsea need look no further for their striker they so desperately want. Is there any interest in him?

2)When do we play our European Super Cup game against Atletico Madrid?

3)What is all this talk about Usain Bolt going on a trial for Man Utd? Is it just a joke or is it serious?

4)Finally, are Chelsea in the World Club Cup? If so who are we playing?

Thanks, RT {Ed018's Note - 1. not at the moment, 2. August 31st, 3. Ive got no idea, i believe it's Bolt who is trying to get a trial, not sure if United have spoke on the matter, 4. google }

2 and 4 for google mate. it's not hard

Questions 2 & 4. Unbelieveable. Some lazy sods out there. Or useless.

Hi Ed. The potential signing of Wallace could come about as we swapped Deco for a percentage of three young Fluminense players; Wallace, Afonso and Pernao. This now appears to have been great foresight....could we do something similar with Malouda? Thanks Steve {Ed018's Note - it would sure be nice, but i believe Santos was put of by what Malouda"s wage demands were gonna be}

What does this mean mate? So if we were to give Malouda to Santos we would be able to take three of their players in the future? Or have I got it completely wrong?

I believe it means if Malouda was worth £2m and we wanted to co own one of the clubs players who was worth £8m for example we would be given 25% of his rights. In the future if we wanted the players full rights for him to be illegible to play in the EPL we would then have to buy the further 75% of his rights. The upside is if the club in question wanted to sell the player Chelsea would also have to agree to sell their 25% if the buying club wanted all his rights.

Does this mean that Malouda won't be joining due to his wage demands? Will he still likely leave Chelsea this window? {Ed018's Note - its possible he will leave, }

Whats the point of signing both Azpilcuetta and Wallace if we already have got Kane and Hutchinson ..one of those will be enough i believe {Ed002's Note - To replace Ferriera and Bosingwa.}

We arnt good at bringing players through, name me anyone apart from terry who have come through the youth system to be world class?
mikel sort of youth, had great expectations: average
same essien
di santo
philiskirk

the only good one springs to mind is sinclair, but is he world class?

roman has the money to buy world class players, forget bringing them through

Simple I would have thought

The club don't feel they are good enough

You underrate mikel. Fantastic defensive mid who was crucial to our success last year.

Exactly, they arnt good enough, do you think piazon, kakuta and bertrand will be world class in a few years? i dont think so, they will be playing for lesser clubs like blackburn, telford or liverpool

Chelsea have changed their ways about handling the youth a few years ago we targeted the older big name footballer,now we are looking to get more young energy into the team..Ibelieve Nathaniel Chaloba or Todd Kane will be the next long term Chelsea captain.

We bought Sinclair when he was like 14. I wouldn't call him 'one of ours'. With our resources we'll have the best people to fid talent - world class players aren't a regular occurrence in any youth set up. Let's see how this batch comes along, e.g. Ake, Chalobah, Piazon, Feruz, Kane etc.

LJ

The fact you said Essien in that category shows your knowledge, and the fact you call him average is the stupidest thing I've ever heard.

Same Essien?

Essien would have been in a world XI until his injury. He was the best ball winning midfielder in the world!

Hi ed .. i have 3 questions.

1) The striker we are going to buy, is he going to play alongside Fernando Torres or are him and Torres going to take turns as the main man up front like it was Drogba and Torres last season?

2) Who is that striker most likely to be in your opinion

3)Will Oscar And Juan Mata be available for the Community Shield Match again Man City {Ed002's Note - (1) He will be a squad player; (20 You have to keep up with the posts. (3) No.}

1, take turns
2, damaio
3, no coz olympiks innit bruv

hi ed, hope your day is going well. chelsea has always said they were bringing in another striker. with the deal to bring in Moses nearly done. my question -: is this the back up striker chelsea wanted to bring in, and when we bring him in, is dat it, chelsea will not be bringing in no other strikers or wingers in during this summer transfer period. especially when we are loaning out romelu lakuku. {Ed002's Note - Moses will be a squad player. Chelsea still want to bring in a striker.}

Wish people would read post

Moses is seen has a replacement for Kalou not Drogba

To summise (poor Eds!).

Moses - potential signing to replace Kalou; Azpilicueta - potential signing to replace Bosingwa; Chelsea are still looking to bring in a striker (search for names previously discussed). There will be no other signings unless players leave which may influence Chelsea to go back to the market.

Hi ed looks like we're going to sign Moses now there saying he's a forward do Chelsea see him as a forward or do u think there will be another striker signed and play Moses midfield {Ed002's Note - He is seen pretty much as taking Kalou's role.}

Can anyone tell me the point of victor Moses signing! Has nufin to offer to the team at all. Waste of money and can be spent better! Also been reading on here bout Wallace can sumone tell me where does he play and is he any good. Thanks


Pinky {Ed002's Note - Wallace is a young right back.}

Moses would qualify as a homegrown player, so that is a consideration. He is a versatile player , which fits in with the current direction of the transfers and can play anywhere across the front. He is very fast and direct with a lot of potential to get better. If you saw Wigan towards the end of last season, Moses was outstanding. Just because he's not a household name don't rule him out just yet.

We would all love 20/30m players in
But the number of players needed makes it impossible
Chelsea not investing over a 5yr period put us in this position hence the input of young and cheap players with the exception of hazard and Oscar as far as cheap goes
Give Moses a chance good young squad player at that price

Moses had the most number of successful dribbles last year...its a need

He's better than sturridge

Better than Sturridge for me sums it up in one. A better descion maker, not a showboater, and for me far more explosive.
I am not sure it will be Moses in Sturridge out but if the sale of Sturridge were to fund Moses who will be on a smaller wage than Sturridge & maybe leave a small surplus then I would say good business.

Not only better than Sturridge but better than Kalou who he is in mind to replace

Typical of the Football Manager generation. Not heard of a player so he must be rubbish. Plays for Wigan so he must be rubbish. Some of the stuff that passes for opinion on here is quite frankly embarrassing.

Sources say Marseille have accepted a bid of €8.8 million (£7 million) for Cesar Azpilicueta

You heard anything of this Ed? {Ed018's Note - ive heard two seperate reports that are conflicting, yet it looks like the deal should be done soon}
