Wow if the felix move is as close as the media are stating surely we need to start moving players on.
I do honestly not understand why we need him. We seem to be stacked with players in his positions.
Any news on outgoings Ed?
{Ed002's Note - Around one a day.}
1.) 19 Aug 2024 23:51:22
If madueke and sterling leave, it makes sense.
08 Aug 2023 17:06:20
Good afternoon Ed.
Would the signing of Lesley Ugochukwu be clsssed as one of the 2 DM or would we still be looking for 2.
{Ed002's Note - No. Albeit he has huge potential moving forward.}
1.) 08 Aug 2023 18:34:08
Interesting that he's been given a squad number – so presumably he's staying for at least the first half of the season rather than going out on loan.
2.) 08 Aug 2023 19:58:32
No number 4
Or 25 which I think is caicedos number at Brighton.
3.) 08 Aug 2023 17:53:57
Appreciate the info ed.
Do you think he will stay with the first team this year then or do you think a loan is more possible.
I take it he was a 2030 vision player.
{Ed002's Note - He is a Vision player and it depends on others what happens this season.}
4.) 09 Aug 2023 05:09:19
Thanks again Ed always appreciated.
01 Jul 2023 07:36:20
Morning Ed. Hooe you are well?
Can I ask how come it has gone extremely quite about auba.
I have just been looking at the squad aswell I can't believe we still have baba rahman.
{Ed002's Note - I don't know what you are expecting to hear Aubameyangadingdong is leaving. Baba Rahman will be leaving.}
1.) 01 Jul 2023 16:52:48
Ed do you copy and paste his name or always type that out lol.
{Ed002's Note - Type it.}
2.) 01 Jul 2023 17:01:55
I'd never remember that.
3.) 01 Jul 2023 17:51:48
This will be interesting!
4.) 01 Jul 2023 19:48:02
Thanks for the reply Ed. I just found it strange how it's gone quite and don't know where he is going.
Is it already determined where he is off?
{Ed002's Note - Yes he is leaving.}
5.) 02 Jul 2023 10:59:16
I feel sterling's not a Chelsea kind of player and city pulled the wool over our eyes to bring him to the club. can't believe we signed him for the wage he gets. His stats are flattering and down to playing in a formidable city team. At his level he should be inspirational to the younger players but he's even being carried by the team. We need highly motivated attackers.
I was mad when werner was sold to bring in sterling. Whoever sanctioned that deal should be sacked just like with lukaku. Because of his fake stats, coaches would always feature sterling for whatever consideration, but I hope poch will have the balls to pick players based on merit.
04 Sep 2022 07:03:33
Hi ed02.
Can I ask who the candidates for DOF we are looking at please.
{Ed002's Note - I am not prepared to discuss that as they will simply get trashed, like all existing players and all potential players.}
1.) 04 Sep 2022 12:38:51
OK thanks anyway.
2.) 04 Sep 2022 15:04:57
i do not mean to be rude, but, well, maybe you do not know?
Chelsea's head of international scouting Scott McLachlan has left after 11 years.
09 Jul 2022 13:40:46
Can I ask what is the situation with, as one of the eds calls him the knuckle dragging bone head Ross barkley.
Surprised he isn't leaving or wish he was.
{Ed002's Note - As far as I know there have been no offers for him yet.}
1.) 09 Jul 2022 15:15:00
Hardly surprising. He needs to move for his own good; he is still relatively young.

Rumour has it reece James was injured in the team photo. It was his first time back out on the grass.
?.
1.) 20 Sep 2024 21:16:56
It's a shame such a talented player but an atrocious injury record which does not seem to ever improve.
27 Apr 2024 21:07:02
Sorry for negativity boys but even if we go on to win this, this idiot needs the sack.
He's had longer than Potter and we are no further on.
Hated tuchels type of football.
The only manager I can see tho is the sporting Lisbon guy.
1.) 27 Apr 2024 22:40:39
Jsfinchy. The Poch tactical switch moving Cucarella was excellent and changed the dynamic of the game.
I didn’t want us to sack Potter but we are a much improved side this season but some would say that wouldn’t be hard.
2.) 27 Apr 2024 23:21:23
Tom, why do you keep going on about Potter? In the past if posters mention players who have left or who we didn’t sign you take them to task. Potter was useless, the club were right to sack him. I don’t see any significant improvement; we are a group of individuals and a team of moments ; no identity or style.
3.) 28 Apr 2024 03:02:22
Pretty sure jfinchy brought up potter jimbo and tom was just replying to it.
20 Apr 2024 20:31:09
Sorry but you can't blame poch for that. And I don't really want him to stay but he set them up and if it wasnt for absolutely no composure in the final third we could of won 3-0.
I personally think we played well. And nullified city for most of the game.
I think if you take off your emotional head that we have just lost again you can see plenty of positives over the last month and half.
Once all the injuries are back and hopefully a world class striker ( could that be nkunku anyway maybe) and replace silva with another experienced CB.
Pertrovic - played well again.
Gusto - quality what happens when reece is back.
Chaloba - assured defending for most of the game.
Silva - usual consistent self.
Cucu - aggressive. I don't blame him for the goal he made the right choice but keeper change direction of the ball.
MC - I think getting better and better. At breaking up play. Shocking at creating or scoring lol.
Enzo - sloppy today still not match fit.
Connor - worked hard, but always lacks finesse. Played out of position. He should of been moved back to the pivot with MC earlier with enzo removed.
Palmer - very quite day.
Jackson - shocking infront of goal. Does other things nice but he is there to score goals. Crying about taking a pen in the last game then goes and misses 3 great chances without really causing the keeper any trouble.
1.) 20 Apr 2024 20:53:24
Gusto should go to left back if Reece is fit but that’s a big ask.
Chalobah I thought was fantastic at the back today I don’t think he’s any worse than Badiashile or Disasi. Great squad player to have.
Jackson is so up and down it’s unreal he’s definitely a winger he scores the hard chances but when he has to long to think he misses them. Desperately need a target man in the middle whether that’s Sesko or Osimhen who knows.
Nkunku should play off the left when fit but we haven’t seen him fit yet really. Nkunku is very good in front of goal.
2.) 20 Apr 2024 20:55:59
Jsfinchy. I might slightly disagree with some of your player assessments but I totally agree about not blaming Poch.
I’m obviously gutted about the result but not how we performed.
3.) 21 Apr 2024 08:31:16
How many times have we said that this season though, good performance, can't score to save our lives.
Where would we be with a CF who can put away the chances we create.
4.) 21 Apr 2024 10:28:43
Bill, we have signed plenty of strikers in in the last twenty years and I can only remember two who worked out and one of them it took two seasons.
I do agree we should sign a striker but our history dictates that is no guarantee of success. ’.
5.) 21 Apr 2024 11:00:20
Actually make that three. Crespo was class.
6.) 21 Apr 2024 12:02:15
Its a shame that Crespo never wanted to stay longer, that goal away to Wigan on first day of the season always lives long in the memory.
7.) 21 Apr 2024 12:30:11
Just trying to work out the other two of your three strikers since 2004, Tom (though to fit in Crespo it'd have to be a 2003 start) – presumably Drogba and Costa. Seems a bit harsh on Anelka and Giroud – I'd have either of them in this team in a heartbeat. I'd have Remy too – a wonderful player who wasn't ever really given the chance. Honestly, I'd probably even take Morata or Pizarro at this point.
8.) 21 Apr 2024 12:46:45
Edw. good point about Anelka but for me he rarely played for us as striker.
I admired Giroud as a player. Good first touch but was very slow. Scored good goals but never that many for us.
Strangely Remy reminds me a bit of Jackson. He always seemed to struggle when he had time, with the exception of a fantastic goal against the scousers.
9.) 21 Apr 2024 15:15:19
You're right Tom, Anelka was often on the wing, but I think that's because we had Drogs up front most of the time while he was with us.
Remy I don't think he was ever given a run. The difference between him and Jackson was that he was proven PL goalscorer – he was incredible at QPR. I think if he'd been given the time in the team that Jackson's had this season he'd have been a great player for us. Could be wrong, of course. We've rarely seemed to play to strikers' strengths – Palmer is maybe the first player we've had who regularly sees a through ball since Fabregas.
10.) 21 Apr 2024 15:50:11
It’s the managers job to understand and play to a strikers strengths. The worst example of seen of a manager not doing this was TT with Lukaku.
31 Mar 2024 19:14:23
I stayed away yesterday to think on the performance.
I believe we have a good squad. Missing a striker, mainly. Once the injuries are back.
But we are a team of individuals. That lack cohesion. This for me is on poch, he doesn't seem to have made any progress in a style of play. He should be able to give each position instructions on where he wants them.
I constantly see our players moving into each others space. This shows me signs that they don't know where they need to be.
I do want poch replaced. With someone that is going to stand on the side line. Wearing a suit with his heart on the sleeve with passion and say "I am here and you are going to do as I ask"
Hate managers that wear track suits lol.
Who that guy is I don't know but either way I think poch has hit a brick wall.
Another thing that is really p***ing we off. This stupid update on injuries of the website. Either give us full details or get rid of it fully.
"Nkunku is continuing with his rehabilitation.
1.) 31 Mar 2024 19:42:20
Jsfinchy, I want Poch to stay but I do understand your concerns about his motivational abilities.
The injury updates don’t bother me as much as they do you. My big dislikes are the obvious, the away fans in the shed and the pre match flame throwers.
2.) 31 Mar 2024 20:04:46
I have to admit tomb my lad 4 years ago absolutely loved the flamer thrower show. Especially on a night game. He believed it got him excited ?.
As for poch I never wanted him. But I also don't know who I want. Am sorry to some but I don't want to go back to "the special one" again. I do like the look of sporting Lisbon guy but is it too early.
The injury update just seems pointless to me without details. It just screams to me "look how many we have injured! "
And as some have rightly or wrongly pointed out we have spent a lot of money on a lot of players. So we shouldn't be crying about the situation.
We have what we have now show some passion for the badge or F off.
Noni screams to me like he has a bad attitude just strolls around.
And I hate seeing Sterling on the pitch for us. If he mess up he always seems to be laughing or smiling after and that is really getting on my nerves.
So worry about the money we have spent. I worry about players coaches attitudes. We would all be moaning if the owners came in and didn't spend a penny.
3.) 31 Mar 2024 21:18:47
I believe Poch will stay until the end of the season whatever happens, there is no point in trying to get someone else in now. In any event, he should suffer like the rest of us. However, I will be extremely disappointed if he is head coach next season. He is a loser. It’s not as if he is an up and coming coach who might develop and learn from his mistakes, he has been around the block and won’t improve .
4.) 31 Mar 2024 21:26:40
My guess is four years ago I thought the flame throwers were a bit of fun and a little exciting. I’m sure it’s just me being a bar humbug!
The last ten games in the premiership will tell us a lot about the players and our coach. We are playing for a place in the lower echelons of Europe. Let’s see if they can at least manage that objective.
5.) 01 Apr 2024 00:32:22
But hey we'd be top 4 if football was only stats according to poch. He lost me even more when he tried to claim that. embarrassing.
Pochetino was never the correct decision. It's been mistake after mistake in the managerial hunt. No idea why we got rid or tuchel who won the ucl and got us 3rd.
6.) 01 Apr 2024 07:14:24
I didn’t want TT sacked but I acknowledge his football was awful to watch and under his tenure we made some significant signings that were strange. Lukaku being a classic example of buying a player and not playing to his strengths.
7.) 01 Apr 2024 08:44:43
Agree with that TomB. I'm a big lukaku supporter (or was) and I thought lukaku was the final piece. Oh how wrong I was.
8.) 01 Apr 2024 08:58:08
Let’s not forget PEA another player apparently wanted by TT and then never played. Surely when a player is bought a manager might well keep his strengths and then play to them.
I’m not sure of the reasoning behind the TT exit from CFC but it would appear he isn’t the flavour of the month in the manager merry go round. Maybe another candidate for one of the Merseyside clubs.
9.) 01 Apr 2024 11:35:27
Tom to be fair there was one game that tuchel had with aubemeyang.
The aubameyang signing was comical, tuchels pick and then we sacked tuchel a week later. So poor.
10.) 01 Apr 2024 11:56:55
Really don’t get the TT love in. Appreciate him for helping us win the CL but after that the football was dire and his signings even worse. Lukaku, PEA, Koulibaly to name just a few. Hardly ever used Pulisic who’s excelling at Milan now.
I’m stuck in two minds about a new manager. Amorim is supposedly a good young manager but he plays 3 at the back and is that the direction we want to go in? Other options we’ve been linked with are Naglsemann and Flick. Are they the answer? Will we get either of them? Amorim might end up at Liverpool, Flick possibly back at Bayern. De Zerbi is not the answer in my opinion and he might end up at Barca. So even if we get rid of Poch, the options seem slim and we might end up with none of them. At which point is it better to stick with him?
11.) 01 Apr 2024 14:19:34
I find it impossible to judge Pochettino this season based on the number of new and largely young players, many new to the PL and the horrific list of injuries.
The injuries have completely disrupted the continuity that the squad needed to build understanding and confidence.
In addition I don't see any realistic candidates that would instantly improve the situation given that so many big clubs are looking for managers.
Whoever the manager is next season will need more experience in the squad particularly at CB/ Striker and Goalkeeper where we have two players at a similar level and not good enough to be No1 at a big club.
12.) 01 Apr 2024 15:13:15
K Drog, Strangely I find myself agreeing with a lot of your post.
I would just say that Petrovic to me looks like an outstanding signing and a potential leader.
13.) 01 Apr 2024 20:08:43
Style of play, 10 shots on target 13 off and 10
Blocked, 7 big chances created 2 taken ( one is a penalty ) so I agree with the team of individuals but wouldn’t the performance of yesterday say that the style and set up and tactics were spot on they wernt delivered, we had it with potter, and Lampard and now poch, maybe, it’s the players not being good enough in front of goal, changing manager won’t change that, giving the manager a striker who needs a half chance to score would change that drastically, despite a few calls for Jackson to again be our main man, however much he has improved, he isn’t there yet,
14.) 02 Apr 2024 06:59:43
Matt, I enjoyed and agree with a lot of your post.
31 Dec 2023 10:55:54
Morning,
So after a long year. Happy new year to you all!
What realistically is your league position for the second half of the year and why?
Secondly what would you change from the 1st of January for chelsea which you think will help us achieve your league goal? Try not to be negative it's a new year after all.
1.) 31 Dec 2023 11:04:47
For me I think realistically 7th place. I think a lot of teams around 5th to 7th will drop points. And I think/ hope we maybe starting to pick up some momentum.
If I could change one thing for the new year it would be to Start playing players in their natural position. I wouldn't get rid of poch as I do like him. But I would just change that about him.
2.) 31 Dec 2023 11:09:02
Jsfinchy, I think we will finish between 6-8. I can see normal improvement happening over time and we should get a few more players back from injury. I perusing think we will sign any new players in this window but I can see at least three maybe four leaving.
I also think/ hoping that Poch settles on key positions within the team, this will be easier with a fully fit squad.
Another small little positive is that going into the year we should only have one game a week, as the season progresses we should have the slightly fresher players.
3.) 31 Dec 2023 12:41:47
There are so many issues that it is difficult to predict where we will end up. I think it is unrealistic to expect a vast improvement as some of the problems are ingrained: so I will say 9th.
14 Sep 2024 02:54:21
Maybe stop coming on here and talking rubbish then. The eds have said numerous times that it wasn't chelsea that was the issue.
Re Gallagher "he didn't want to sign a contract"
Fofana "it was Athens issue"
You come on here like a petulant child as soon as you here some bad news. Then change your mind in what you actually said.
Re calling caicedo a "donkey" so in my eyes your the one getting tiresome.
16 Aug 2024 10:42:18
I don't like the look of his attitude and think neto is better so sell hin for me and put a sell on fee in it.
09 Aug 2024 16:31:31
I like the look of him. But took me by surprise.
Ed is it true we now have 46 first team players. Are we going to see the likes of lukaku, kepa move soon.
{Ed002's Note - There are quite a number of departures to come.}
09 Jul 2024 16:49:45
Again how much should he be paid. Should he be paid as much as palmer, sterling, enzo.
I have no idea how much they are paid neither do I know how much they have offered Connor.
In my opinion they all get paid enough so if he wants to stay as you have said why has he not signed. The only answer is he values himself more. Which brings back the original question how do you know he hasn't been offered £300k but wants £310k so what would your limit be to pay him ?.
09 Jul 2024 12:30:02
Again you don't know what has been offered to him. Maybe it's already what he is worth but he wants more.
What would your limit be.
£100k £150k £300k £400k.
02 Oct 2024 17:35:28
If reading into the news outlets obviously not as informed as eds.
I would say it sounds like we are looking at an airline as fos sponsor which may have an issue with the already airline sponsor we have.
I could indeed just be putting 2 + 2 and getting 8.
01 Sep 2024 07:16:40
Nice balanced post fuser I agree.
I still think we will struggle for goals but I also think jackson will improve on last seasons numbers.
My hope is we have a pretty much injury free season. But with James and lavia already injured I concerns me more.
27 Aug 2024 17:49:10
Rbd why do you assume nkunku will be sold next summer?
18 Aug 2024 11:26:35
I am with you. But coming on here really dampens that mood.
And we haven't even kicked a ball yet.
I don't think we will get the win today but it's one game and am looking forward to the season.
06 Aug 2024 11:19:25
Dan no condescending from me.
It's just plain and simple your maths don't add up. That's not an opinion that is facts.
{Ed002's Note - You are right - he is a halfwit. I don't know why all of this rubbish is being posted.}
