Thanks.

Believable1 Unbelievable3

{Ed002's Note - You need to remove any thoughts of money but Chelsea's interest remains.}

08 Jun 2017 20:43:13
Very exciting player he reminds of a young Henry. Him and Lukaku? Well, now we are talking.

Agree0 Disagree2

08 Jun 2017 21:11:50
No selling Batshuayi, damn it! Don't do it, Chelsea.

Agree3 Disagree3

08 Jun 2017 22:05:11
Let's be honest here, there's no chance in hell that Mbappe moves to Chelsea. He wants Madrid, that's 1 problem already. Monaco would only sell for obscene amounts of money, and that's issue number 2.
Not happening.

Agree2 Disagree3

08 Jun 2017 22:35:06
Mbappe, Hazard and Lukaku? Sweet child of mine, now that would be special and I'm not even a big Lukaku fan! I'm excited just thinking about the potential!

Agree1 Disagree1

08 Jun 2017 23:11:13
Don't Monaco and Chelsea have good relations? That always helps in situations like these.

Agree1 Disagree4

{Ed002's Note - Yes they have a very good relationship.}

08 Jun 2017 23:48:06
Id be surprised if he doesn't end up at madrid myself personally.

Agree0 Disagree2

{Ed002's Note - You will be surprised then.}

08 Jun 2017 23:52:59
And they are interested in 2 or 3 of our players aren't they Ed002? Traore, Batschyuai come to mind.

Agree1 Disagree2

{Ed002's Note - Just Michy Batshuayi.}

09 Jun 2017 00:07:30
Ed in your opinion is mbappe likely to stay, and do we have a genuine chance of sgning him,
Thanks.

Agree0 Disagree1

{Ed002's Note - I would expect common sense to prevail and stay. But there is an interest.}

09 Jun 2017 00:46:16
Is there any truth that mbappe will talk to conte after the international break?
.

Agree0 Disagree2

{Ed002's Note - Of course not.}

08 Jun 2017 10:05:46
Hi Ed, it's obvious now that Costa will leave this summer just as u stated earlier. Not a fan of Lukaku but he's rumoured to be d likely replacement. However please could u help with information about Morata and Belloti, in particular, or any other striker as regards to Chelsea this summer. Sorry if it borders u but I don't seem to find any info on it using the search function.
Have a nice day.

Hi Ed002

Given Costa is leaving, Abraham will be loaned and Batshuayi may or may not find himself loaned too - how many strikers do the club intend to go into next season with? Last term we had Costa and Batshuayi, so is it fair to say they'll want two "senior" players available in that role, or three?

Believable1 Unbelievable2

{Ed002's Note - See another reply Dave.}

08 Jun 2017 20:27:43
Fantastic, thanks for taking the time Ed002. Safe travels.

Agree0 Disagree2

08 Jun 2017 06:01:58
Top strikers available / looking to move
Morata, belotti, lukaku, aubamayang, cavani maybe? Cannot think of many top strikers available and whom could improve us, morata and belotti who knows overs more proven but. Are they targets, who are targets to replace costa ed.

Believable2 Unbelievable1

{Ed002's Note - Andrea Belotti - Chelsea won't be held to ransom
Romelu Lukaku - The situation is still unchanged, the player would like to return and there have been apologies provide but there remains a concern - but a lot of efforts are being amde by an ex-player.
Bernardo Silva - I would remove all thougts of this happening.
Federico Bernardeschi - Chelsea very keen but Fiorentina don't want to sell but their hand could be forced by someone coming even close to their outrageous asking price - and there is interest from PSG and Inter as well.
Mbappe - Chelsea's interest remains.
Riccardo Orsolini – there is interest from Chelsea but he should move to Atalanta or Pescara as the other interested clubs will not be able to offer him first team opportunities.
Alexander Isak - Real Madrid, Chelsea and other keen - moving to the reserves at a much bigger club won't help him - very much up in the air and he should stay where he is for a while.
Alvaro Morata – interest drifted away after last summer - very unlikely.
Paulo Dybala - will stay at Juventus.
Antoine Griezmann – Chelsea has moved on – discussions between representatives of the clubs have come to nothing and his penchant for talking to the press is worrying - very unlikely.
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang – again interest has moved on whilst the player has his heart set on a move elsewhere - I think it is very likely a move to PSG will go ahead.
Douglas Costa - If Hazard were to leave Chelsea might well move for Costa.
Gabriel Barbosa - has been offered to Chelsea on loan but they could not guarantee him game time and have no interest.
Kasper Dolberg - plenty of interest but I don't expect a bid from Chelsea in the summer - kid seems smart enough to stay where he is.
James Rodriguez - offered to Chelsea but they are not interested at the asking price.
Moussa Dembele - Chelsea remain very keen.}

08 Jun 2017 20:25:48
Hi Ed002, thanks for the update, much appreciated. Is it fair to say Berardi remains of interest to Chelsea or is that a non-starter?

Agree0 Disagree2

{Ed002's Note - His club are talking to Roma.}

08 Jun 2017 20:35:33
So Ed, would you say our best and perhaps only bets are Lukaku and Dembele?

Thanks for the update btw!

Agree0 Disagree1

{Ed002's Note - I didn't say that.}

08 Jun 2017 21:04:47
Way I read it was:

Belotti - interest but not for daft money (selling club want to squeeze it)
Lukaku - player wants it, key personnel unsure
Bernardeschi - interest but not for daft money (selling club don't want to)
Mbappe - interest
Dembele - interest

That's a pretty decent list of players the club is interested in. Some serious talent.

Agree1 Disagree1

08 Jun 2017 21:08:10
People read WAYYY too much in to what Ed002 writes. He's merely saying who Chelsea are interested in, not who they will sign and who they are prioritising over one another.

Agree1 Disagree3

08 Jun 2017 21:14:23
Well that doesn't sound promising on the attacking front. Thanks for taking the time, Ed002!

Agree0 Disagree2

08 Jun 2017 21:41:36
Thanks ed. Good stuff.

Agree0 Disagree1

08 Jun 2017 23:40:42
No mention of Sanchez, anything Ed? Thanks for time on response of above post.

Agree0 Disagree2

{Ed002's Note - Right, there is no mention of Sanchez.}

09 Jun 2017 00:54:47
Hi Ed. I noticed a name missing from that list so I assume that we have no interest. The player I speak of is Icardi. Is there any interest from us or any team for that matter or is questions about his attitude/ arrogance putting teams off.

Agree0 Disagree2

{Ed002's Note - The interest is from Real Madrid and it will likely come to nothing.}

09 Jun 2017 12:16:33
So realistically 3 strikers in the game.
Lukaku, Mbappe and Dembele.
And if Hazard leaves Douglas Costa.

Agree0 Disagree1

08 Jun 2017 02:30:20
Hi Ed.
Just a question for you,
as Liverpool declared officially that they are no longer intrested in Virgil Van dijk.
It means as of only chelsea and man city are interested in signing him.

So do you think we have really good chance of signing him?

Also if the price quoted by saints is too high, will CFC look for alternatives like- rudiger, manolas, bonnuci, de vrij etc?

Believable0 Unbelievable0

{Ed002's Note - Chelsea have already stepped back from any deal due to the asking price. The club will buy a centre back and will take one back from loan. A couple will also leave in addition to Terry.}

08 Jun 2017 20:40:02
Ed, could you let us know if anything has changed regarding Bonucci and Chelsea apart from continued interest?
Is Juve open to talk?

Thanks in advance!

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed002's Note - Juventus will listen to significant offers.}

09 Jun 2017 00:17:33
Ed what other centre backs are chelsea interested in
Thanks.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed002's Note - They have looked at a lot.
Stefan De Vrij - Chelsea are concerned by his injury history.
Alessio Romagnoli - first choice after the time wasted on Kalidou Koulibaly during the summer but will be difficult to bring him in and the club have moved on for now.
Leonardo Bonucci - might well be too expensive even if he could be persuaded to move and Juventus are prepared to sell.
Aymeric Laporte - interest has gone and he will be heading elsewhere.
Kostas Manolas - interest has gone completely.
Ruben Samedo - looked at CB cover but won't happen and heading elsewhere.
Presnel Kimpembe – talks held earlier in the season but nothing will happen.
Boubacar Kamara - perhaps one for the future - plenty of interest but still very young and during discussions recently Marseille said he will sign a pro contract with them.
Ben Gibson - has the advantage of being home grown but Chelsea's HG issues have eased and his value for money is not seen by some at the club so nothing will happen.
Michael Keane - home grown is a bonus but likely to be priced out of a move to Chelsea.
Doria - Marseille are still keen to move him on but I think all interest in having him as cover at Chelsea has long gone.
Antonio Rudiger - Roma would be open to an exchange involving Fabregas but the player wants a move to Inter and will likely get it.
Virgil van Dijk - has been looked and is considered by Chelsea to be overpriced - however Southampton has told Chelsea that van Dijk is not for sale.
Davinson Sanchez - is being pushed by an advisor to Chelsea.}

09 Jun 2017 00:44:31
Thanks ed, possible to do a list for fbs/ wbs and midfielders
Thanks.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed002's Note - Not right now.}

09 Jun 2017 01:09:41
Ok thanks for this ed, why have we not been linked witha any rwbs? Considering we only really have moses?
Are chelsea planning on signing one.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed002's Note - Ola Aina and Cesar Azpilicueta are both able to cover but Chelsea has looked at others.}

09 Jun 2017 08:13:35
I'm wondering regarding Davinson Sanchez, Ed. Is he being pushed by one of his own advisors, or is it an advisor of Chelsea that is pushing the club to move for him?

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed002's Note - It is an advisor to Chelsea.}

09 Jun 2017 09:46:37
Ah okay, thanks for that, Ed. I misinterpreted and thought he was being pushed to Chelsea by an advisor. So it means he's being pushed as a CB option for Chelsea by an advisor. Thanks for clearing that up :-)

Agree0 Disagree0

08 Jun 2017 01:31:13
Ed002, you said Matic is a maybe to leave, so I was just wondering what clubs were interested in him? Thanks =].

Believable0 Unbelievable0

{Ed002's Note - Juventus and don't rule out Manchester United.}

09 Jun 2017 00:43:11
Ed could we possibly use matic in a potential deal for sandro?
Or bonucci
Thanks.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed002's Note - Try not to complicate everything.}

08 Jun 2017 16:34:31
Is Llorente still being considered, or is he less likely to leave now that Swansea survived?

Believable0 Unbelievable1

08 Jun 2017 17:49:41
Think if he leaves he goes back to Spain?

Agree0 Disagree5

08 Jun 2017 21:09:30
Why would you want Llorente here anyway? not shone in a crap team by a long shot. No where near good enough for Chelsea squad.

Agree0 Disagree2

08 Jun 2017 00:27:00
Greetings

What is the latest on the future of fabregas?

Thanks.

Believable0 Unbelievable1

{Ed002's Note - If a replacement arrives he will leave. Juventus, Milan and Roma would all be interested - and perhaps not rule out Manchester United. Else he stays.}

08 Jun 2017 00:41:30
Who are we looking at to replace him Ed?

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed002's Note - Bakayoko but that is proving difficult (after Kessie proved difficult) or Tolisso. Tks with Lyon over another player so that will be discussed I would think.}

08 Jun 2017 02:21:27
Don't want to see Cesc leave he's fantastic for rotation and we will play lots of games next season. I'd definitely take Tolisso over Bakayoko though.

Agree2 Disagree1

08 Jun 2017 02:36:19
SFL no way we can afford to loose cesc, he is the best passer of the ball in EPL.
And if we want to upgrade him then it has to be someone like verrati, which seems highly unlikely.

Agree1 Disagree1

08 Jun 2017 07:20:45
If we fail to get Bakayoko and a PL rival swoops in, then we'll regret it for years to come. I hope the people in charge pull through on this one, as we need him. It's massively important we get him.

Agree1 Disagree5

08 Jun 2017 15:11:39
hes awesome isn't he jackson i hate to player compare but he reminds me of a 27 year old yaya toure.

Agree0 Disagree1

08 Jun 2017 15:59:24
I love him, Cat, really do. He's actually not incredibly big or anything, but he plays in such a strong manner. Players bounce off of him. Defensively he's a monster, but he also seems really solid on the ball and has some impressive passes in him.
I'd love him in our team. Shame it won't happen this summer.

Agree0 Disagree1

08 Jun 2017 16:52:21
We wouldn't have won the league this year if it wasn't for cesc.

Agree2 Disagree0

08 Jun 2017 01:17:47
Ed what if matic were to leave aswell? Is matic a possiblity to leave.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed002's Note - Sure, there is a chance he will leave. Players come and go - they are simply transient employees of the club.}

09 Jun 2017 02:08:34
Ed if matic and cesc went could we not go for bakayoko and tolisso?
Thanks.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed002's Note - Why do you have to try and complicate matters so much?}

09 Jun 2017 02:23:15
Sorry ed, i just want both players as i think they both have different qualities that we need.

Agree0 Disagree0

08 jun 2017 00:24:44
conte told costa his not in his plans next season, huge!

with michy wanting out we must be after 2 strikers ed? when's next update on targets?

Believable0 Unbelievable0

{Ed002's Note - Costa was always going to leave this summer so that his not major news. There is no change in the targets at this time.}

08 Jun 2017 00:42:11
Where will costa go as atletico Madrid have a ban?

Thanks.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed002's Note - His agent will have some ideas about China still.}

08 Jun 2017 07:35:35
And people doubted me when I said that Diego would still go. Conte hasn't been happy with him since Jan and Ed002 has said it all along that he will be sold this summer. Now it's just about getting the best price for him.

Agree0 Disagree3
