Ed002 madueke keeps being linked with other clubs, what is the plan for him? Is there interest and could he leave?
is there any interest in chilwell and casadei?
is it true we are talking with Napoli and they are willing to negotiate price and not just ask for the clause? Thank you.
{Ed002's Note - There is serious interest in NM from Newcastle. Manchester City interest in BC has gone but Manchester UNited have him on a list of options. The new coach has ostracized three players and Casaidi will likely return to Italy.}

Casadei leaving is crazy.

Ed may I ask which other players have been ostracized?
{Ed002's Note - It is unimportant.}

Hi Ed, are the club open to letting Madueke leave and is the player looking to move?
I think it would be strange to let him go so soon. I rate him quite highly and was thinking this season was his chance to stake his place in the starting X1.
Thanks.
{Ed002's Note - If the right offer comes.}

If the right offer comes in, I get it, but I like Madueke - not a typical academy product / a bit of the streetfighter about him. Can also come inside and go outside the fullback, which is useful.
Maresca mentioned him in an interview the other day as someone who he hadn’t been convinced by when arriving but who has made progress. I’d prefer to keep him for a season.

Thankyou for the reply Ed. I hope he stays.

2 of the 3 being ostracised are clearly Gallagher and Chalobah. Very disrespectful towards two players that have been at Chelsea for probably 15 years and have been among the better performers in the team.

Jackson, I will except it’s not a good look but it’s not unusual when a manager doesn’t rate a player. I’ve said it before Raffa didn’t rate JT.
There is a part of me that wonders why the club bothered offering CG a contract extension on improved salary terms.

The extension offered to Gallagher doesn't really indicate that they want to keep him in my opinion. The current ownership are handing out 7 and 8 year deals to anyone, but they offer Gallagher a 2 year deal? To me that indicates they wanted to increase his market value a bit before selling.
Very disrespectful all of it to do that towards our last season's best midfielder, who also captained the team most weeks.

Very interesting, other than palmer who plays inside aswell he is our only true rw, if he went who would we look to go for? Johan Bakayoko who ed002 said is on the list and agents pushing towards us but his quotes saying he wants a team in the champions league. Marcus Edwards who we have on our list but not really consistent or a lot of end product. ed002 any other options? who do you see us going for and who would you go for? Thanks.

Jackson, JT was our club legend and a legend and our manager didn’t want him in his team. These things happen.
As I said I don’t think the club should have offered him to what amounts to a contract extension albeit with a substantial wage increase. You either want him or you don’t.
The captain thing was his because both James and Chilly almost spent the whole season on the treatment table. It might be me but I never saw him as a leader but he is a very hard worker and I would like him to reach an agreement with the club.

Exactly Jackson. Clearly Gallagher and chalobah who have been ostracised. It is a truly abhorrent treatment of two players that were among our best last year.

Funny how we all see/ read things diferently, I would have thought the 3 were Chalobah, Lukaku and Kepa. CG not even back from his holiday yet but I feel he might become number 4 if he refuses a move this window.
