Ed002, are we interested in Wesley Gassova?
{Ed002's Note - Wesley (LW/RW) Signed a new contract with a huge release clause. Watched by Newcastle and Arsenal together with assorted Spanish and Portuguese sides including Porto. West Ham are looking to add younger South American players and have asked for scouting reports. Agent wants a foothold in England and has offered him to Chelsea, but having secured Estaveo Willian it is unlikely they would bite unless they could so something via Strasbourg. Agent has also spoken with PSG and Nice.}

Ed002, are Chelsea interested in Chris Fuhrich, Summerville and Teun Koopmeiners?
{Ed002's Note - Chris Führich (LW/AM) Took a long time to settle and has signed a new contract at Stuttgart, but Bayern Munich and Bayer Leverkusen both see him as an option. Chelsea has sent scouts but he is down the list for them, although their oreferred choices are currently unavailable.
Crysencio Summerville (RW/LW) Leeds have no interest in selling but his agent is looking for a step up and speaking with clubs about him - he has certainly approached Chelsea and Spurs and I suspect others. Bayer Leverkusen have spoken directly with Leeds. Agent is close to Aston Villa and the City Football Group. Any move will likely depend on promotion being gained or not. Leeds will look for a new contract. I am not aware of Liverpool making any approach yet but I understand Slot is a fan of the youngster from advice given to him by Sipke Hulshoff who knows him well. If he were to replace Salah, there has to be an element of risk but he may become first choice.
Teun Koopmeiners (DM/CM) Atalanta are reluctant to sell but his agent wants the player to be playing regularly in the Champions League with Newcastle, Juventus and Napoli having declared interest. Interest of Milan shifted to Tijjani Reijnders so they can be discounted. Liverpool offer a good option for the player but will be reluctant to meet the asking price - but they are very keen. Approaches were been made to Arsenal, Manchester United, Spurs and Chelsea although none have spoken with Atalanta and all have other targets for now but cannot be discounted. In particular Chelsea have considered him as a replacement if Conor Gallagher departs. Brighton and Aston Villa interest has gone. Juventus has a creative solution and will push for a summer move knowing that the player wants Juventus move. Marseille have walked away due to the quoted cost although a change of ownership could see a huge shift for them. Atalanta are seeking €60M if pressed to sell and feeling is Liverpool or Juventus will win out.}

Ed002, is there interest in Carney Chukwuemeka?
{Ed002's Note - Joined last summer and struggled with injuries. No.}
1.) 29 Apr 2024 07:46:02
Thank god, CC will be a major player next year.
2.) 29 Apr 2024 14:29:41
If he can stay fit.
3.) 29 Apr 2024 16:43:20
I think he’s quality, but wouldn’t be against loaning him out next season to work on his fitness and get a full season under his belt at a lower premier league team. Never know he might stay fit elsewhere. A lot depends on Gallagher staying also.
4.) 30 Apr 2024 07:53:36
Not many to choose from lower prem teams.
5.) 30 Apr 2024 09:07:54
I think he is a player that gives us something going forward with his positive play. I feel there is a goal in him whenever he plays.
All he has to do is stay fit as do half of the squad who are constantly injured.
How many games gave Fofana and Lavia played since they were bought for something like £120mil. our injury record as a club is a total disgrace.
6.) 30 Apr 2024 10:51:06
Chukwuemeka joined Chelsea in summer 2022,one of the first signings for new ownership. Very talented player unfortunately suffered a lot with injuries this season.
14 Apr 2024 20:20:45
Ed002, are Chelsea looking at replacements for Gallagher?
{Ed002's Note - Chelsea like all clubs are scouting players.}
02 Oct 2023 11:38:07
Ed002, are Chelsea still interested in Nusa and Moscardo?
Also, are there any other talented youngsters of that age group that Chelsea are pushing hard for?
{Ed002's Note - Yes, theyt are interested in both and have an interest in other youngsters.}
1.) 06 Oct 2023 17:11:49
Both are really good players - we are more in need of Nusa.

Ed002, I read a rumor that Raheem Sterling is happy in London, and therefore, does not want to leave Chelsea.
Is this true?
{Ed002's Note - I have no idea, but tehre are other clubs in London.}
11 May 2024 08:28:55
Ed002, which of these transfers are unlikely to happen for Chelsea?
ST - Benjamin Sesko
LW - Chris Fuhrich
AM - Georgiy Sudakov
LB - Milos Kerkez/ Bradley Locko
CB - Tosin Adarabioyo
GK - Marcin Bulka.
{Ed002's Note - What sort of question is that?}
1.) 11 May 2024 10:27:07
As in, you mentioned Sudakov as the primary target to replace Gallagher.
Are the other players also being looked at other positions?
{Ed002's Note - Chelsea has lists of options for the various positions they are looking to recruit for. Some of these players are included and others are not.}
05 May 2024 22:56:42
Ed001, just a hypothetical scenario, but if it comes down to keeping one academy player between the two, who should Chelsea keep? Chalobah or Gallagher? (Or both? )
Whoever gets sold will get replaced by a signing.
{Ed001's Note - I would keep both if it was up to me. Both are good enough, so why spend the money on a replacement?}
1.) 06 May 2024 00:41:10
Ed001, do you also consider the decisions to offload Hall, Maatsen and Broja as mistakes?
{Ed001's Note - Maatsen yes. Hall I haven't really seen any of to judge him or not. Broja's injuries make it understandable that he was sold.}
2.) 06 May 2024 02:35:45
Think I’d sell Chilwelll and keep Maatsen.
3.) 06 May 2024 08:35:48
Agree fuser.
4.) 06 May 2024 09:43:18
Spot on fuser. Maatsen is one we'll regret I think.
5.) 06 May 2024 11:22:36
Ake is a player I always regret us selling.
6.) 06 May 2024 12:13:38
Interesting to list who we reckon was our biggest regret. MIne would be De Bruyne. But if it is about academy players I suppose it would be Rice. But Ake in the mix.
7.) 06 May 2024 12:21:24
I'd also keep maatsen. Hall was great for chelsea but also, 35m when we had ample replacements/ options was a good get. Good to see cucurella improving though, I'd give him and chilly another year and put a buyback on maatsens deal with Dortmund.
8.) 06 May 2024 12:25:51
Salah for me but the list is long and Ake is on it along with De Bruyne and Musiala.
9.) 06 May 2024 14:17:32
Salah should definitely be in the mix too!
10.) 06 May 2024 14:39:35
Greaves, venables, Hudson, Ossie, Wilkins, Ake and many more from our academy. I don’t count the likes of KDB off Salah.
11.) 06 May 2024 18:12:59
Tom, I don’t regret selling players as there is usually a reason that they move on. As for Ake he is quick and good on the ball but defensively weak. What we need is strong, defensively minded CBs to tighten up our leaky defence. Ake suits Pep’s style of play but next season we need to sort out our defensive unit as a priority.
12.) 06 May 2024 18:39:34
Jimbo, of course there is a reason! That doesn’t mean a fan has to be happy with that reason.
Ake has proved his worth over many seasons to City and good luck to him. That ship has sailed but in my opinion we shouldn’t have sold him.
I haven’t got a clue how the management and owners work out our priorities but I am sure about ten players will leave the club but I only think about three players will be joining for the first team squad.
13.) 06 May 2024 18:59:45
Tom, I said Ake suits Pep but not my choice as a CB. I agree, I doubt whether we will bring in more than 3 players, I would suggest priorities are CB, GK and striker. As for how many will go, I doubt it will be 10 but I could think of 10.
14.) 06 May 2024 21:33:51
The ten I suggested a few months ago included players currently out on loan.
15.) 06 May 2024 22:45:05
Tom, yes I am including players out on loan.
16.) 07 May 2024 05:57:39
Who leaves and who stays wasn’t the point anyway.
The initial question was about two academy players potentially leaving in the summer. On ability I would keep both.
My very short list of regrets deliberately only includes academy players. This was to remind some people that academy players have been leaving Chelsea for years and one of the reasons they left was to raise money for the club.
For the record I don’t consider Ake to be solely a CH. I think of him as a left sided utility defender. I personally think he is better as a LB.
17.) 07 May 2024 15:52:06
I feel we should as well give petrovic chance to prove he's capable. Gk should not be a priority.
15 Mar 2024 19:33:32
Ed002, what's going on with the Conor Gallagher situation?
{Ed002's Note - What situation?}
1.) 16 Mar 2024 12:58:55
His contract situation.
{Ed002's Note - He needs to reduce his demands.}
2.) 16 Mar 2024 21:54:05
Hopefully he does. If it is true that him and his family are Chelsea through and through he should take a bit less to play for the club he loves and supports. Not being funny Im sure he is still being offered an absolute wedge to sign a new deal.
3.) 17 Mar 2024 14:50:31
He’s not getting in if chuk Stays fit.
4.) 17 Mar 2024 16:51:40
Whitey, I think Mounts family were all Chelsea fans and in the end it made no difference.
5.) 17 Mar 2024 21:44:20
And that’s worked out ok.
6.) 17 Mar 2024 22:13:18
Tom, as I always say players come and go. I was never a big fan of Mount, I always thought he was overrated, I did like Havertz but in the end I accepted it just wasn’t working. We got decent money for both of them and they play for other clubs now. As for Gallagher again not a a huge fan of him but it’s up to him and the club to agree a contract but if it is not resolved by the summer he should be sold.
7.) 18 Mar 2024 10:09:38
I always thought Mount and his family were Pompey through and through.
24 Dec 2023 21:45:03
Ed002, was Arne Slot initially preferred ahead of Mauricio Pochettino for Chelsea's head coach role in the summer?
{Ed002's Note - He was interviewed but there were two others preferred before an offer was made to MP.}
17 Oct 2024 17:00:10
Ed002, is that the plan for Estevao too?
{Ed002's Note - Not right now.}
26 Apr 2024 16:27:06
Since you mentioned Kerkez Ed002, are we interested in him?
{Ed002's Note - Milos Kerkez (LWB) Only joined in the summer after picking Bournemouth over Lazio for game time. Down the list for Chelsea who have a much preferred target. Manchester United have been sending scouts.}
01 Oct 2023 10:53:54
Thank you Ed002.
On that note, is there a possibility of Madueke leaving?
{Ed002's Note - I would doubt it, I am not aware of any approaches by other clubs.}
01 Oct 2023 10:45:38
I meant if the club plan to have three strikers in the squad. Or is the club looking to offload one of Broja or Jackson before bringing someone in?
{Ed002's Note - A number of players will be leaving and also players will be returning from injury like Nkunku and others such as Washington my head out on loan. Chelsea are not just looking for a striker.}
04 Jul 2023 04:23:13
Last season at Chelsea or last season in his career?
{Ed002's Note - At Chelsea.}
11 May 2024 10:27:07
As in, you mentioned Sudakov as the primary target to replace Gallagher.
Are the other players also being looked at other positions?
{Ed002's Note - Chelsea has lists of options for the various positions they are looking to recruit for. Some of these players are included and others are not.}

16 Mar 2024 12:58:55
His contract situation.
{Ed002's Note - He needs to reduce his demands.}
21 Sep 2023 15:58:59
Could you please provide some names, Ed?
{Ed002's Note - They will get trashed sadly.}
20 Sep 2023 18:26:47
Would we look to sell Fofana in that case, Ed?
{Ed002's Note - He is out injured for the season.}
