Hi Ed,

Lots of noise today about our interest in Dybala, any truth to this?

Cheers.

Matt_24

{Ed002's Note - No he is heading elsewhere.}


1.) 29 Mar 2022 18:45:15
cheers Ed.


2.) 29 Mar 2022 20:17:33
I’m glad Dybala is going elsewhere, don’t rate him. On a separate issue what a waste of time these International friendlies are :what is the point of picking a team where at most three would start in a competitive game:Southgate is a joke.


3.) 30 Mar 2022 10:28:20
I agree. just to give a player a cap.


4.) 02 Apr 2022 07:56:04
Or maybe to work out who else he will take on his squad? And surely playing friendlies against different non European teams before a World Cup allows minor tactical tweaks ti be experimented on before the real thing? At this stage of our domestic season, when the first 11 players are probably from teams still playing many games, would you bother playing against weaker opposition those players you know will be in? Personally, I think bringing more players into the England team breeds confidence and allows the odd player (ie Bellingham ti take their chance to shine) . Also keeps the regulars on their toes knowing there is competition being looked at behind them. Surely fir all those reasons there some point to it?


5.) 02 Apr 2022 07:58:48
Although I must admit, I hate the international breaks as I can’t get my weekly dose of watching Chelsea. Good that we can finally buy tickets again.

Hey Ed, any truth to the stories that the club are looking to add a true DOF, specifically Ramon Planes?

Matt_24

{Ed002's Note - sort of but there is interest from another PL side. He was recommended to Chelsea by an ex player who declined to take the role.}


 

 

08 Jan 2020 16:03:41
Silly season is in full swing, Don Balon reporting that we are interested in signing Bale. Same outlet that stated that a reunion with he and Spurs was imminent.

Matt_24

{Ed002's Note - There is an active discussion with another side but not with Chelsea I am afraid.}


1.) 08 Jan 2020 16:36:06
I was riding it off as nonsense altogether, but it will be interesting to see if he ends up anywhere this window. Thanks for the insight, Ed!


2.) 08 Jan 2020 18:21:12
Another premier league club if I may ask Ed?

{Ed002's Note - No.}

Hi all, I'd just like to get your opinions on our possible January transfers. It look like we'll push to Callum Wilson and possibly for Pulisic (to arrive in the summer? )

What do you all think of this? I think Wilson's pace and genuine strength will be incredibly effective in our system. Pulisic would be interesting. I'm from the states, and while he is far and away our best player, I'm not sure that he will do well with Chelsea.

What do you think, and what other rumors have you heard about?

Matt_24

1.) 18 Dec 2018 16:10:47
Calum Wilson is the perfect January transfer. Fast strong and knows were the goal is, and come summer if we got a big name he would be brilliant back up, 24 and home grown. knows the league, Abraham 3rd choice next year?


2.) 18 Dec 2018 16:20:49
I believe that he is 26, but I still think he is plenty young enough! Do you have an idea of what "big name" you think would come in during the summer? I've been hoping for Icardi for the last few years, but I'm not sure that will ever happen!


3.) 18 Dec 2018 17:53:27
I think we have needs at LB, RW and CF.

Like many others on here i think that Ben Chilwell would be the ideal signing at LB, but I don't thing Leicester will sell him for anything other than a ridiculous price. To be fair, with his new deal, the club seem pretty content with Alonso so we probably won't see much movement here till the summer. I've mentioned him before, and I will mention him again, but Jay Da Silva is having a fantastic season.

Pusilic seems like a fair shout for the RW spot, I'd also like to see a move for Thorgan Hazard who is having a very good season in Germany.

I agree that Wilson would be the ideal signing for the CF position. Could even have the type of season that would eliminate the need for a "big name" signing.


4.) 18 Dec 2018 19:00:05
I’m not sure to be ho eat, I personally like icardi but he isn’t a Sarri type player of Sarri likes the target man who gets in the score sheet. Oscar did won’t be in the game for 75 min but 2 chances could bogey two goals, morata in theory is his type to link play and technically good but mentally he is so weak you have to feel for him. Mitrovic would be another one similar to Wilson for me. Good option but will only upgrade in summer, I honestly don’t know what strikers are about who are top class, the Cavani type except Harry Kane?


5.) 18 Dec 2018 19:22:34
I tend to disagree with your Icardi statement, I think he does well holding the ball up. IMO he's able to be more than a target man, his movement is very good, he's strong and has pace. I think Icardi would not only bring goals, but he would bring a similar scrappy attitude like Costa's, which I think we've been missing.

Remember that Sarri used Mertens and Hazard, who are smaller players, as a #9. But I do remember that he wanted a reunion with Higuain, so maybe he does prefer a big man. Only time will tell!


6.) 18 Dec 2018 19:53:19
J don’t know which Jay Da Silva you’ve been watching but he’s only played less than half their games. He can’t even get in the side ahead of Lloyd Kelly. We need to cut his loan short and send him somewhere else. I like Wilson but the price is a joke why not Vardy? A short term option who’s homegrown until we can find a world class striker. Vardy is a leader too he’s horrible but he’s what we need I’d try for him and Chilwell in a double deal very unlikely but it’s what I’d like to see.


7.) 20 Dec 2018 01:36:04
vardy a good shout fast agressive an finish good player.


8.) 20 Dec 2018 17:09:38
Vardy is 31!


 

 

09 Nov 2018 18:01:15
Seeing that we are interested in Denis Suarez from Barca. Does anyone know if this is true or not? Can’t see us having space for another midfielder honestly.

Matt_24

1.) 11 Nov 2018 05:23:27
I read somewhere that Sarri likes him and went for him on more than two occasions when he was at Napoli.

Hi Ed,

Do Chelsea (or any top 4 side) have an interest in Kalvin Phillips? Think he's a very good player, could do well for us.

Matt_24

{Ed002's Note - Chelsea has no interest but a couple of the others have shown a prior interest.}


1.) 12 Sep 2021 22:58:31
I hope Chelsea don’t have an interest in Phillips he is nothing special and wouldn’t get into any top international team: lucky for him Gareth Southgate is England manager.


2.) 13 Sep 2021 06:56:26
Think Leeds are very average and don’t play anywhere near as exciting as people seem to suggest. Bamford and Raphinha are good players and Phillips is ok but no where near good enough for us.

Been a while since I’ve posted, but I’ve been lurking this page for sure. First, happy holidays everyone, may 2021 be significantly better than 2020.

Today’s result was concerning in the way that we look tactically lost and the passion was non-existent. I am starting to have small worries, but I’m sure I’ll be back onside by the time Monday rolls around. Frank and the lads need to hash it out or we could be in danger of missing the top 4. I have confidence we will start to fire again soon, it just takes one goal/ assist for Havertz and Werner to come back to life. Ziyech will make a massive difference IMO.

Anyway, happy holidays to everyone. KTBFFH.

Do we intend on playing a few friendlies before the season? Haven't seen much outside of the Brighton friendly, which could be off because we play them on match day 1.

Matt_24

{Ed002's Note - Nothing has been arranged yet as far as I know.}


1.) 25 Aug 2020 16:29:10
Thanks ed!


 

 

03 Jul 2020 16:22:22
Hi Ed,

Was there an agreement in the Hazard deal for any add-ons should Real win La liga or the CL? No problem if you don't want to get into that.

Cheers.

Matt_24

{Ed002's Note - Yes there are add ons.}


1.) 03 Jul 2020 22:03:33
Thanks Ed!


2.) 04 Jul 2020 09:46:43
Let's all be Madrid supporters and hope they win the title at least!

Yet another PSA, those on twitter who claim the be experts are not reliable. Most podcasts are simply recycling stories and putting their twist on it, purely based on opinion.

The Havertz and Chilwell sagas are getting out of hand on this site and some are quite literally abusing the Eds and their information AGAIN. Let them play out, we will see in due time if they will happen or not. This page doesn't seem to understand that redundancy of asking the same questions is not only annoying to the eds, but to the other readers as well.

Matt_24

1.) 22 Jun 2020 20:07:42
To be fair, this is a rumour / banter site, if people want to talk about the transfer Rumours and speculate on how we would line up and what the team needs from their point of view then they should be allowed to, it’s easy to just scroll away if you don’t want to read about a particular subject but everyone is free to share what they want as long as it is respectful, Chelsea/ football related or any other thing that is deemed important by majority on this platform that’s said, I do agree that asking Ed the same question on the same players is a bit tedious and I understand it can get annoying.

With regards to the insults it is something that unfortunately cannot be stopped, I don’t know if it’s only on the Chelsea page but it seems more often than not that we are the only ones that manages to chase Ed002 away so maybe that’s our cross to bare. Off the top of my head I know about 15 regular posters and though the page is never the same without Ed’s information I’m sure most of said regulars will keep the page lively.

Some only ask Ed because they trust his input, I for one have cracked my head thinking of a way Ed can give information like he used to with the lists or his podcasts and then maybe he doesn’t reply to random questions or repetitive questions only if something changes then he can update the list if he wishes while the regulars just tell others to RTP or use the search bar.

I don’t know it’s just an idea, however, I know that there are certain posters who have been here long enough to know the value of this site and the Ed’s hard work and hope that’s be enough for Ed to reconsider when he’s ready. 🤷🏾‍♂️.


2.) 22 Jun 2020 20:41:59
Excellent Post ELI.


3.) 22 Jun 2020 21:07:05
I agree ELI. Excellent post and constructive ideas.

Unfortunately we do seem to get a smallish group of posters using different names who just can’t help being rude to the Eds, players, management, the club in general or other posters.

I welcome the combative nature of the banter as long as it’s constructive.


4.) 22 Jun 2020 21:47:36
Will be an interesting team selection from Lamps against City.

Is Jorgihno available? Would he or should he play Gilmour? Ross has played well in the last few games, will he start?

My guess Is RLC will be on the bench With Pulisic starting.


5.) 22 Jun 2020 21:53:07
Cheers Shak and Tom.


6.) 22 Jun 2020 22:04:52
My post regarding the team against City was in response to the JBS post below. Sorry.

I really hope we step up for him, he would be immense in our midfield.

As for people not liking the rumors being posted, it is only annoying when people keep asking the eds if they are true or not. I really do like when these are posted and we can have banter, but I also like having the eds around (:

I saw that Real Madrid had allegedly bid ~85 million and would loan him back for next season but Leverkusen are holding out for at least 100 million. I don't see us going in for Havertz at that price, similarly to Sancho and BVB's asking price.

I'm glad that the Havertz interest seems to be true.

As a side, Ed what do you think of the overall content that The Athletic has been putting out?

I believe that is a false rumor, I would likely unfollow that account on Twitter because they tend to do these types of things for clicks.

Nothing in it, we've seen things like this before with other players liking tweets or following someone on instagram. It is silly season, remember.

Boga probably doesn't want to come back, why bring him back and stagnate his career?
