Ed02:

Is there any truth behind the Demba Ba bids from West Ham and Newcastle United?

Also is Mata happy to stay at Chelsea or is it just a case of no realistic offers have come in for him yet?

Finally I know it's more summer news than current but I was wondering if you have any info on whether we're going to hold on to Courtois or let him go with all the interest from other clubs?

{Ed002's Note - (1) I am not aware of a bid from WHU or NU but there is certainly interest from WHU and Valencia. (2) He has not said that he wishes to leave. (3) There is no plan for Courtois to be sold.}

Nice one cheers!

If we do offload Ba in the January window I assume that increases the likelihood of signing a new striker or will we struggle with Eto'o and Torres to save rushing into a buy?

{Ed002's Note - Chelsea are looking to bring a forward in and have plenty of options regardless.}

I've just read that Barca are going for Ter Stergen so I don't see them going for Courtois as well :)

I was more worried about Atletico Madrid taking him because he's obviously established himself there, he's enjoying his time there, Atletico are flying at the moment and we'll still have Cech come the end of the season and I highly doubt either will settle for playing second fiddle.
