HI Ed002 many thanks for all your great work supplying info in this v busy window.
Given Olise is now staying at Palace some paper talk now that we may be interested in Brennan Johnson. Do you know if there is any truth in this and whether there may also be other attacking/ striker options being considered?
{Ed002's Note - Not that I am aware.}
1.) 17 Aug 2023 17:17:35
Many thanks for quick reply.
{Ed002's Note - You are welcome.}
06 Jan 2023 09:37:25
Hi Ed002 in Zakaria's loan deal was there an option for CFC to buy? Having got fit he is beginning to look like a player who would make us stronger in the long term. Happy New Year to you!
{Ed002's Note - Yes there is an option to buy.}
1.) 06 Jan 2023 11:07:48
At the time 30 million Euro was reported.
2.) 06 Jan 2023 14:29:22
Thanks Ed00 and Nathswindon, good to know.
16 Dec 2022 11:23:05
Ed do you have any update on possibe Zakharyan to CFC situation?
{Ed002's Note - there are issues to be resolved but the club want it to happen.}
1.) 17 Dec 2022 11:01:59
Many thanks for this Ed, good to know that the club are still wanting it to happen so hope those issues can be resolved.
28 Nov 2022 20:09:02
Hugely hope ed002 that rumour about Pulisic to Man United is only paper talk? Hecwas the outstanding player on pitchbin England v USA game and someone who I'd hope we'd keep.
{Ed002's Note - We will see.}
1.) 28 Nov 2022 20:49:13
OK thanks for your response Ed. It seems to suggest Pulisic leaving is a possibility not definite. Would no like to see him go if especially not to a rival.
{Ed002's Note - There is no agreement with any other club.}
2.) 29 Nov 2022 11:56:41
Thanks for further info, appreciated.
08 Oct 2022 12:11:09
Hi Ed002 does the seemingly strong possibility of Nkunku coming to CFC in the summer mean that we no longer have any interest in Victor Osimhen? Giben that we were interested him during last transfer window.
{Ed002's Note - Chelsea interest has gone for now.}
1.) 08 Oct 2022 13:05:50
OK many thanks for update.

Drogba or Costa would have buried it.
Mistakenly pressed send before ready in last post and was want to finish by saying that my pre-season prediction was 5th to 9th finish. Reckon now we will be closer to 5th than 9th. might even make 4th. but our dodgy defense and ongoing problems breaking down low block opponent at the Bridge counts against us. But we are certainly playing entertaining football and for that I am grateful.
1.) 06 Oct 2024 16:51:27
Not sure the longer post got through. pity cos took a while to write!
{Ed014's Note - I put it up earlier, it finished with the letter I as if you’d sent to early.
2.) 06 Oct 2024 16:56:20
The word is lethal we don’t have a striker that’s lethal, to be fair anyone going forward I wouldn’t class
As lethal.
3.) 06 Oct 2024 16:56:57
Thanks for this Ed014 handn" t checked but a relief. not to have to try and rewrite it!

Some time ago I predicted we'd get more points away from the Bridge than at it because of most ' lower' opponents employing a low block and defending for their lives. While we are still without a Drogba or Costa style no 9 who can outmuscle serried rows of defenders and can dominate in the air in the box.
And so far so true.
5 points from 4 home games ( 3 of them against a Brighton side who played as if they were at home and with extremely high line) . 9 from 3 games away.
And with Cucurella and Fofana picking up their fifth yellows they will now get a audpension. We are picking far too many cards its like we want to break a record.
Sanchez some superb saves makes him my. MoM. even if there was yet another occasion when he could have supplied an assist to Forest. We didn't play badly but just weren't quite sharp enough in or around the box though once Forest went down to 10 men and especially in thec13 mins of added tine the chances came and Nkunku failed to convert superb cross ( from Mudryk I think) that most genuine number 9s worth their salt would have buried. There were other chances that went abegging and Palmer radar not quite its previous nigh perfect self. Mudryk scored that nice goal but also missed other chances though often from tight angles. The less said about the header Felix missed the better . further out than Nkunkus but put ludicrously far wide. Again a zdrogba or Costa
Anyway my prediction pre- season was that we'd finish between 5th and 9th. I.
1.) 06 Oct 2024 17:30:54
Madueke not Mudryk of course!
03 Oct 2024 21:33:42
Seemed to have much more energy second half and Neto goal a thing of beauty. Credit KDH foe debut goal.
03 Oct 2024 21:00:37
Not a great first half but nice goal from Viega and generally we looked v comfortable if a bit pedestrian
Would much like to see Chucky on second half for KDH who was OK but nothing exciting and whole team. lacked much intensity perhaps don't need it but 1-0 hardly acomfortable lead and for all our posession should have been mote threatening in box and scored more.
No- one really pulling strings in midfield and Nkunku hardly in the game but am hoping for much more energy, quick. passing and creation and conversion of more clear-cut chances. it's all been a tad dull and 2nd 11 compared to last two EPL games.
1.) 04 Oct 2024 22:21:51
Chukwuemeka was in the squad originally but pulled out unwell.
16 Sep 2024 22:50:14
Great for Conor G that he is already being hacked as a fan favourite in Madrid and scored his first goal for them.
1.) 16 Sep 2024 23:14:17
He's looking great for them isn't he, with a lot of energy. I think he'd be perfect for this team, worth a 65m bid in January?
2.) 16 Sep 2024 23:24:04
Yea really good news
Did you post about cho goal against liverpool
Or just the ones that suit your anti new owners sgenda.
3.) 17 Sep 2024 05:17:31
A member of my family who understandably loves all things Italian made reference to some bloke he called Captain America as scoring about one goal in every three games since ACM signed him. He also told me about another bloke who is setting the world alight at my favourite Italian team Napoli.
4.) 17 Sep 2024 08:41:44
JBS, why do you keep posting about A. Madrid players? this is a Chelsea page for Chelsea banter.
5.) 17 Sep 2024 09:21:53
What is this censorship?
Of course JBS can make this post with it being normal and not malicious. You guys should take a breath.
6.) 17 Sep 2024 09:37:32
In fairness it's nice to see chelsea graduates do well even if it's for other clubs.
Lers be honest about CG though, he did not want to sign the contract that was put to him.
Also it was nice to see CHO score but how many times will he do that and indeed how many matches will he play this season.
Let's concentrate on getting behind the team because until at least until January, they are the ones playing for the shirt.
7.) 17 Sep 2024 10:33:01
I’ve wished all our ex player all the best at there new clubs and that’s it for me. The king is dead, long live the king!
8.) 17 Sep 2024 10:37:31
As far as “censorship” is concerned, if it exists, in my opinion it has to work both ways.
9.) 17 Sep 2024 10:41:15
Emil, the censorship comment made me laugh. Some very upset people on here.
10.) 17 Sep 2024 11:40:09
Not sure where you get "upset people" from standard? weird comment yet again. It is however a banter site and opinions are allowed both ways. As Tom rightly says, we all wish our previous players all the best and I include Lukaku, Tammy, Conor, Jorgingo, Havertz, Mount etal in that list but this page would become confused if all we did was speak about them. As an example I could talk about how well Havertz and Jorginho are doing at Arsenal but it would dilute what this page is about!
11.) 17 Sep 2024 11:49:20
Standard, out of all the comments on this site over the last few months you posting that comment has given me the biggest laugh I’ve had in ages! Unbelievable.
12.) 17 Sep 2024 12:01:07
WSOTS. I’m not sure how JBS has got mixed up in a pleasant post about an ex player that is perfectly reasonable for a fan to post.
The comment that is more telling is the gola post and in my opinion valid.
13.) 17 Sep 2024 12:33:12
The simple point is that CG has just left us and joined a new club. CHO left us some time ago now and has scored quite a few goals already for Forest including against us. But am delighted that CHO seems to be fulfilling his potential as am delighted for CG's good start as I'd like him at the Bridge.
I think any reasonable CFC fan would and should be pleased for him too. And any player who was a product of our academy who is doing well in their career even if not with us now. Except when they are playing against us!
14.) 17 Sep 2024 12:57:59
JBS, absolutely mate and as you say good luck to all the ex Chelsea players.
I know I’m pretty much alone but I couldn’t see the lad who now plays for AM getting many games for us this season anyway.
15.) 17 Sep 2024 13:06:46
West Side of the shed. mate my. memory fading but think this is first time I've posted about an AM player.
16.) 17 Sep 2024 13:31:27
Tom thanks for your posts on this thread mate you are v often a voice of reason.
17.) 17 Sep 2024 13:39:50
JBS, that’s very kind but I prefer the cantankerous old git label.
18.) 17 Sep 2024 17:16:22
Well COG for short you can be Tom! But a vital one in the wheel of course.
19.) 17 Sep 2024 20:22:05
I like that, so Tom is now named COG.
20.) 17 Sep 2024 21:49:09
I’m happy with COG. Could be lot worse.
04 Oct 2024 08:51:35
Thanks Zola for asking about Duran and Ed002 of course for your very full and interesting reply.
19 Sep 2024 16:16:15
Good to know, thanks Zola250 for asking and Ed002 for answering.
19 Sep 2024 16:16:15
Good to know, thanks Zola250 for asking and Ed002 for answering.
11 Sep 2024 18:01:09
Belated many thanks once more Ed002 for your insights on this.
11 Sep 2024 17:59:53
You mightb be right Tom if only especially if the new manager doesn't fancy playing him of course. Completely agree that what one saw of him before the injury was someone with great skill set and goal scoring in him and overall of huge potential.
08 Oct 2024 16:25:06
ArsenaL, Spurs, West Ham, Leeds for many years. by 2000s Liverpool and United had replaced West Ham and Leeds.
07 Oct 2024 06:06:32
Good points fuser and agree with most of them. I think Jackson and could have been substituted earlier but do think that if Nkunku and Sancho had been on field at same time they might have produced a goal via quick footwork in and around box as at Bournemouth
Gusto also had a v poor game on whole and not back up to form. of last season yet at least. So many overhit crosses into the box from far out on right and few [ were there any? ) From byline.
Point is we also lack a forward/ striker who is very good in the air like a DD or even a defender as good in air from set pieces as a Terry or Silva. So that route to beating a low block not a likely v fruitful one as our two dreadful misses demonstrated. And Enzo corners awful and set pieces yes generally poor yesterday.
As said in my quick post match review Sanchez my MoM for saving us one point at least though he remains dodgy with ball at feet passing out and one time almost led to a Forest goal. But his shot stopping looks confident and agile at the moment and long may that last.
06 Oct 2024 17:39:16
Had to be optimistic as in last few games Tom being pessimistic and me being optimistic had seemed to. produce good results! But yes a lack of science at work and I was aware that Forest had conceded few goals and beaten Liverpool away.
Yet after we equalized and once Forest were down to 10.men tiring as 13 mins of added time we should have scored two more given those iron cast chances for Felix and Nkunku and there were others. Mind you Forest might have scored one or two more themselves.!
06 Oct 2024 17:30:54
Madueke not Mudryk of course!
