Seeing a lot of doom and gloom from various Chelsea places (and no I don't have twitter but maybe that's where it has started! ) saying that it's all well and good wanting to not overpay and not wanting to sign mediocrity, but that we aren't going to be able to get the top targets that we want in the summer if we don't get top 4, and that the teams around us all strengthening makes that much more difficult. I'm just wondering, Ed, if you can tell us how much the whole "top 4 finish" really affects a club's transfer activity outside of the money (which I understand is significantly improved getting into the champions league. Liverpool for instance built a lot of their current juggernaut of a team with signings made from outside the top 4 if I'm not mistaken? Thanks Ed.

{Ed002's Note - It makes it easier to attract players if CL is on offer.}

Ed002, you already gave a list of players that Chelsea are looking at, but would you be kind enough to say which positions in particular will need to be addressed?

{Ed002's Note - I gave you a list with positions included. There is no spearate "in particular" list. Of those players some will no longer be there (e.g. Bruno Guimaraes and Reinier Jesus) and others will come in to contention. If players decide to leave the club will also need to decide where is stands.}

So I just need to compare the INCOMING and OUTGOING lists then.
Thanks Ed!
