Is it true the Uefa Club coefficients have been abolished ed?
{Ed002's Note - You need to be more specific.}
12 Sep 2014 00:51:46
Taken from the Man United page. If this were to happen UNBELIEVABLE JEFF!
{Ed002's Note - It is fair to say that there is the possibility of Ronaldo moving in either January or next summer if a tense situation with Real Madrid cannot be resolved. Jorge Mendes has spoken with the player and the club and he has indeed raised the possibility of a transfer when meeting with Chelsea at Cobham as recently as Wednesday. He may well have raised the matter with Manchester United as well. However, I would doubt a move to Manchester United would be possible in January and regardless of that wages would be a major stumbling block. Next summer? Anyone's guess at this time and much will depend on what happens this season.}
1.) Really? I thought he and Jose had a bit of a fractious relationship? Can't see it myself, though I'd be chuffed to bits!
2.) If we got him and Pogba we would have the strongest team in the world imagine that lol ahh what it is to dream lol
3.) I would just be happy with Pogba
4.) This is hard to imagine considering his well publicized opinion of Jose. I would imagine that real would push for hazard in the deal and for me I would choose Eden all day just based on age. As others have said just give me pogba.
5.) I would prefer lampard out of all 3 to be honest

hi ed018, do you know which clubs are seriously interested in Cech?
{Ed018's Note - Real Madrid and maybe PSG or Monaco could be}
1.) Ok cheers ed018, just one more question though, I see on another page that ed002 has said that a premier league club has made an offer for Lucas Silva of Cruzeiro with the option of a loan back to Brazil. Chelsea have been linked with him in the past couple of days and I was wondering whether it was indeed us?
{Ed018's Note - I have no idea. Sorry}

A lot of reports this evening suggesting we have agreed a 25m euro fee for Filipe Luis.
1.) 16 Jun 2014 22:19:44
Silly money for someone who will be 29 start of the season.
2.) I know he is older but he is a ready made replacement for cole for the next 3/4 years and is experienced and solid. I think it's a decent buy if true.
3.) I've tried but there's absolutely way I can justify us spending 25m on a 29 year old when there are plenty of options out there. Heck shaw is less expensive at 35m than Luis is at 25.
4.) 17 Jun 2014 20:06:27
I'm afraid I'm unimpressed with shaw, we would have to pay around £30 million for him and I can't help but feel that fee is purely based on age. He likes to attack yet rarely scores or assists and his defending from what I've seen is poor. He's not the type of player Chelsea need, as for Luis he is more experienced and a more mature player, he can defend but he too likes to attack. Personally there are very few options to replace cole and perhaps he should have stayed for another year
02 Jun 2014 19:29:33
Thank you Frank Lampard for everything you've done for the club! Absolute legend and for me one of the best ever midfielders to grace the premier league. It's obviously upsetting to see him go but I think the timing is right. He will never be replaced but let's hope we go out and get a quality CM like Pogba or Kroos now :)

Reports tonight saying Colwill will likely leave permanently this window. Shocking decision from the club if this materialises.
1.) 13 Jul 2022 19:21:26
I hope that isn’t true.
2.) 13 Jul 2022 19:32:18
If it is true, my guess is he wants to leave and as we all know we very rarely keep players who want to leave but I agree it would be a shame.
3.) 13 Jul 2022 19:41:50
agreed. even if we get 3 cb this summer there will be space next summer with Silva likely being done. I hate the thought of having these players and having to buy them back in 3 years for stupid money.
fair, we can keep everyone but the youth structure needs to be used a bit more!
different sport, but Leinster are a good example of a model to follow. hope i don't get lynched for suggesting that LMAO.
4.) 13 Jul 2022 20:05:43
I don’t know why it is assumed Colwill wants to leave, we all know Broja and his representatives are agitating for a move. The alternative answer is that TT doesn’t really bring on young players because he wants immediate solutions. If we buy Ake for 45 million and let Colwill go I will be well and truly miffed .
5.) 13 Jul 2022 20:22:25
so do I. he only needs to look at Chalobah.
I also don't get why we need 3 CBs.
surley Ake and Koulibaly is enough with Colwill get minutes. don't get why he wants Kimpembe too.
But if we do I hope a clause is put in his sale.
I hope he doesn't keep Sarr over him . that would be criminal.
6.) 13 Jul 2022 20:36:22
I’m only assuming he wants to leave because I find it hard to believe we wouldn’t want him to stay.
If he and Broja want to leave it’s a shame and I will be as disappointed as I was when we have lost young talent before without giving them the chance they may deserve.
I haven’t got a clue about either players contract position and we have other young players on the threshold of the first team squad who may also want to leave .
7.) 13 Jul 2022 20:54:17
Wheely you are correct Colwill or Sarr is not a comparison.
I couldn’t understand how TT picked Sarr over Chalaboa on several occasions last season. Sarr is truly awful and surely we should be looking to sell or loan him rather than Colwill.
8.) 13 Jul 2022 21:17:25
Lampard with all his mistakes and failures, did at least one thing very right and that was bringing in the youth to the main team. I doubt we will ever see a manager do that.
9.) 13 Jul 2022 21:29:09
We have to remember Ashk to a certain extent Lamps didn’t have much choice but to give some youngsters a chance. For me that made his first season 4th position ok.
Of course some will say he didn’t handle the Tomori
situation very well.
10.) 13 Jul 2022 21:24:13
Ashk, I was no fan of Lampard as a coach but you right he did take a chance on young players.
11.) 13 Jul 2022 21:47:33
tbh Lamps had no choice.
12.) 13 Jul 2022 22:18:05
To splash a hugely significant fee on Ake who we sold years ago because he was not good enough to start for a title challenging team, and City (who we are trying to close the gap to) are now selling because he is not good enough to start for a title challenging team is non sensical for me. How many CBs do we need? One of Kimpembe and Ake makes sense but both is ridiculous and considerably bloats the squad and reduces our chances of signing top tier CBs next summer when the likes of Gvardiol may be available. We’ve already lost the likes of Tomori and Guehi and we’re going to make the same mistake again. I don’t blame the lad if he wants to leave, good luck to him.
13.) 14 Jul 2022 17:15:39
Of course Lamps had a choice. He still had more senior players in the team and could have used January window to make sign someone. In his second season he also gave James, Mount, Billy and Tammy lots of game time even though we bought many new players.
I disagree about the Tomori situation. I believe it wasn't Lampard's fault that he left.
Anyway, Lamps is still bringing on some youth to Everton as well.
He might not be a top coach yet but you have to give it to him that he is giving youth a chance.
14.) 14 Jul 2022 21:03:44
Ashk, that’s why I said “some will say” about Tomori.
There were such a variety of reported reasons for Tomori leaving and one was his relationship with Lamps. Another was the players attitude to training.
I haven’t got a clue but as I say, some blamed Lamps.

Unbelievable performance from the boys. So proud right now. For those of you saying sell Kante last summer, where are you now? What a player.
MB.
1.) 06 May 2021 02:05:51
i said it at the time. a truly world class player. should we win the CL this year, he has to go down as a club legend and a premier league legend.
{Ed0666's Note - you’ve had some amazing players in that position over the years. Makalele, Ession, Kante.
2.) 06 May 2021 08:23:37
Essien still my fave.
21 Apr 2021 12:50:48
Hi ed 002
On another club page you mentioned that Chelsea, and possibly some other 'founding' clubs were misled regarding the ESL proposal.
Appreciate if you don't elaborate further on this, but do you think the details on the above will ever ever released? Will relationships between certain clubs/ individuals be significantly tarnished now?
Thanks.
{Ed002's Note - There is no point in explaining.}
1.) 21 Apr 2021 14:21:22
Okay, no problem. Thanks for all the information over the past 72 hrs.
30 Aug 2020 10:19:44
Does anyone know if Anthony Barry has been brought in to specifically look at the defence/ set pieces?
1.) 30 Aug 2020 11:08:54
Judging from yesterday it doesn't look like it!
2.) 30 Aug 2020 11:59:25
Yea Turvey because in weeks of training he'll sort it all out. Get a grip will ya.
3.) 30 Aug 2020 13:39:27
Firstly he isn't a defensive coach and secondly are you saying the current management team aren't capable of organising the defence for set pieces?
4.) 30 Aug 2020 15:04:27
What on earth are you talking about? You're basing your observation on a friendly a week after pre season has commenced when we've half our players back. So yea get a grip 😂.
5.) 30 Aug 2020 20:14:14
Are you saying he's a specialist defensive coach?
Why are our CB incapable of marking the opposition properly at set pieces?
6.) 30 Aug 2020 21:34:41
People need to remember it was a friendly where we had majority of our 1st team players out. Save the bull for another time.
7.) 31 Aug 2020 12:43:47
A friendly very adjacent to the new season given the Internationals.
The players only had two weeks away before starting training.
The only first choice CB who didn't play was Zouma.
Set pieces are one of the most basic requirements for any team with ambition.
They haven't been drilled properly since the current manager took over and we're performing scandalously again against Brighton.
The excuse of a friendly/ pre season doesn't wash with me given the small amount of downtime between seasons.
29 Aug 2020 16:24:24
Anyone know why Zouma is not in the squad today? Is he one of the players in quarantine?
1.) 29 Aug 2020 19:28:35
no idea . possible injury? I'd like to think he will partner Silva this year. Rudi and Andreas are not gd enough.
2.) 29 Aug 2020 23:27:29
Completely agree mate, hoping he’s not sorting out a transfer away. Much better than Rudi and AC in my opinion.
29 Jun 2022 22:46:27
I’d much rather Raphinha to Dembele. Dembele much too injury prone and not proven in the prem.
01 Oct 2020 13:36:23
To you knowledge Ed, is the circa £10m loan fee that Villa have paid for Ross Barkley somewhat accurate? Seems like a huge amount and a good deal for us if true.
{Ed002's Note - The figures only become accurate when included on FIFAs TMS.}
29 Aug 2020 11:14:48
Believe Ed02 previously said he was on the list of goalkeepers we were considering but wages would be huge and he was expected to sign a new deal at AC. Sounds like Mino just trying to get the highest wages possible for his client. Personally I’ve always thought that Donarumma is somewhat overrated - decision making and handling didn’t impress me much whenever I’ve seen him play. Ed01 what are your thoughts on him as a keeper?
{Ed001's Note - he is still young, but I do agree he has not made the progress he should have so far. A step or two up from Kepa, but not sure it is worth spending big on him as he will not fix the issues at the back. Though Silva will no doubt be a big help in the short term, he is only a short term fix. Donnarumma is very confident though and that will make a huge difference as that inspires confidence from defenders.}
28 Jul 2020 21:00:23
Hernandez looks fantastic from what I’ve seen. Has everything to become one of the best. Not available according to ed002 though.
06 Jul 2020 00:09:18
If they want to include players let’s include De Ligt in the conversation (I can dream) .!
13 Jul 2022 22:18:05
To splash a hugely significant fee on Ake who we sold years ago because he was not good enough to start for a title challenging team, and City (who we are trying to close the gap to) are now selling because he is not good enough to start for a title challenging team is non sensical for me.

29 Jun 2022 22:48:43
Have no idea why the club is looking to bring Ake back. Proved not good enough for us originally and now City want to discard him. Defensively he’s always been shaky and reliant on his pace. Will stunt the progression of players like Colwill too.
20 Jun 2021 11:08:19
Certainly not getting my hopes up ed02, believe you mentioned Gosens wanted to return to Germany anyway. Do Chelsea hold interest in another left back should both Alonso and Emerson move on this window?
{Ed002's Note - Yes but Chelsea also want to sell two other LBs and make a decision on Maatsen.}
19 Jun 2021 19:11:56
If both Alonso and Emerson were to leave I would love Gosens at Chelsea. specialist wing back and would provide great competition for Chillwell.
{Ed002's Note - I would certainly not hold your breath.}
21 Apr 2021 14:21:22
Okay, no problem. Thanks for all the information over the past 72 hrs.
