do we have any intrest in douglas costa and are we getting mouro cabello?
trout {Ed002's Note - Manchester United, Chelsea, Rubin Kazan, Napoli, Arsenal, Manchester City and no doubt many others have been interested in the player in the past year. The other player I do not know.}

Mauro Caballero?

If Moutinho was available for the right price would Chelsea consider buying him ed or has that ship sailed? {Ed002's Note - I doubt it.}

ED how strongly are we linked with Lucas Moura and Hulk? i believe either one of those will be excellent for Chelsea?Thanks {Ed002's Note - I have explained the situation with both and don't know how to sensibly categorise "strongly".}

ed002 are chelsea, or any other premier league club, looking at debuchy, the lille right back? should play for france at the euros now and i think he could be a star of the tournament. {Ed002's Note - Debuchy is of interest to Valencia. This is their Plan B to the slow-moving Van Der Wiel situation. AC Milan, Manchester United, Bayern Munich and Palermo have also shown varying degrees of interest.}

ed now that higuain is staying it doesnt seem like they will be getting cavani this summer so does that give us a better chance of getting cavani and who else is interested in cavani and do you think we could get him as napoli looks like they wont be in the champions league {Ed002's Note - I would not be so sure that Higuain will stay regardless of what anyone says. Manchester City, Real Madrid, Juventus and Chelsea maintain an interest in Cavani. As has been explained Real Madrid wished to fund a bid through selling Higuain in January to Chelsea and having Chelsea step back from bidding. Cavani has an initial preference for Madrid rather than London and apparently no interest in moving to Manchester. Probably something that will get more publicity in the summer.}

Although a summer clear out is on the cards, a element of experience is still going to be required in the middle of the park. I for one would like to see Frank change his game slightly and play a more holding role with Rami, pulling the strings and setting up counter attacks. Therefore we most deffently need a right winger who is able to pick a pass and also gets back to defend. The a top draw right back, someone who first and for most can defend, then look at getting forward. And possibly a new striker if drogba leaves. Wouldn't spend a fortune as we have fernando, but someone who will be a good team player. I'm not going to suggest names as we have scouts for that, just putting my opinion out there. If I could pick any 5 players to leave though it would be :
Kalo, maluoda, bosingwa, Essien, and drogba.
Replaced by: Erickson, Moura/ Douglas Costa ,Richards and huntelaar

No doubt none of these will sign, but we have a good squad, just need to get our young lads playing competitive football. Be it on loan or in the first team.
Opinions welcomed.

Ramires plays much better in an attacking role

Agree0 Disagree0

I would still like to see essien and drogs around tho.....

i love those boys. essien getting to his best for one last stint would make us so proud.

Agree0 Disagree0

Not a bad post.
I personally would keep drogba and let the rest go.
Sign. Hulk, richards, hamsik and if possible Moura/ costa?
Luke

ED002 if the Qatari billionaire does invest some money into Chelsea will he also give Chelsea money for transfers? {Ed002's Note - I have no idea what you are talking about, sorry.}

Believable2 Unbelievable1

Khalid al thani was in talks with chelsea over investments and i was asking if he was going to invest money into chelsea would give us money to buy some players {Ed002's Note - The talks were about commercial opportunities. This is why I try and avoid discussing anything financial.}

Agree0 Disagree0

Probably stadium related.

Agree0 Disagree0

I believe that at this time it is purely linked to the battersea project if it gets off the ground. Spready

Are chelsea still interested in Giovinco who has been in excellent form in recent weeks? {Ed002's Note - D’Amico talks a good story and interest in Giovinco from Chelsea is being overplayed, but if he is made available by Palma that may change. The player has been looked at on a few occasions but there has not been any discussion with his club. Wolfburg and Roma have certainly shown some interest.}

Its everywhere this morning that danny simpson is on his way to chelsea any news on this ed?
Carefree {Ed002's Note - When you say "everywhere" what do you mean? I got off my plane a little after seven and heard no announcements at Heathrow. Since then my wife has said nothing about it either. So aside from some conjecture about interest which may well be true, I know nothing.}

Believable1 Unbelievable2

Wait ed, i thought you were a women? {Ed002's Note - It is not, as far as I know, possible to be a women. I could be a woman.}

Agree0 Disagree0

Well im confused :/

Hey ED,

I just wanted to know if there is any genuine intrest in Lavezzi, ive looked back and i can be sure. Thanks. {Ed002's Note - There is interest in Lavezzi from several clubs including Manchester City, Chelsea, Juventus, Zenit, PSG and particularly Inter and AC Milan. I think it would take a very high offer - more than 30M euros, some trading or a third-party ownership deal bid to get Napoli to sell the player who is unwilling to extend his existing contract which runs to 2015. Inter have offered 15M euro plus Marco Faraoni, Goran Pandev and Joel Obi but that offer is not acceptable to Napoli.}

Ed, I have written this post several times but it hasn't been uploaded on to the site. The question I was asking was, what players in Germany are we looking at? Obviously we all know about Marin, and now Schurrle, but who else/

Would be much appreciated!

PR! {Ed002's Note - The original question was about players the club have been interested in - and much of that interest has gone. Offers have been made to Muller, Subotic, Schurrle and Goetze in the past. Interest has been shown in Farfan as well. Marin has arrived and there is further interest in Schurrle.}

Cheers mate!

Ed do you know much about Wellinton the Brazilian striker from CSK? Any chance you could do a player profile on him so we can see who would be interested pls.

Thanks in advance Dan J {Ed002's Note - You have the wrong Ed for that, sorry. I will ask but he gets lots of requests.}

Has anything changed r.e Higuan ED? all signs seem to be he had decided to leave Madrid and Pastore said in some french paper that Higuan has asked him about life at PSG? {Ed002's Note - Nothing has changed. Higuain has interested PSG all along - I have told you that. Higuain has strong French ties and there is a very good chance he will move there.}
