Ed002. Thank you again for all of the information you provide. You're so old and wise. Recently you said Asamoah of Juventus was a player Conte asked Chelsea to look to. As you've explained in the past, players are identified and eventually transferred to Chelsea after input from several areas of the club (not just the manager) . I was therefore wondering if you could let us know which players (that you know of) Conte has specifically requested that Chelsea look to. It would be interesting in terms of getting an idea of his vision for the team. Thank you as always.
{Ed002's Note - People are simply trolling the posts now James - I say something is of no relevance and they continue to ask so it is best if I limit what is said. As for naming players Conte asked Chelsea to consider, it will simply lead to people trashing Conte and I don't want.}

I think people get too carried away with the need for, what are considered as, ‘marquee’ signings. When Conte was head coach there the biggest international star Juve signed was Carlos Tevez. I think we’re going to see, for those who have read the book or seen the film, a Moneyball approach under Conte. They might not be household names or international superstars breaking transfer records but they will fit Conte’s system, they will fight for him and, from his perspective, they will win for him too. Pogba was just a youth team player who couldn’t get a game for United when he signed him – look at him now - more of that at Chelsea please.
{Ed002's Note - "Moneyball" is very explicitly a baseball-related technique. Conte will not have control over money nor transfers, although he will have an input to transfers. The policy moving forward is something developed by others and being given to Conte for him to work within the framework of.}

Hey Ed002,
I know it takes time and I know people get all crazy when You pass on info that they don't like (acting as if You are making the decisions personaly) but I am really really really fascinated as to how things operate behind the scenes and the Football Model for the Club moving forward.
I read a fantastic write up You had produced on another Clubs page and even though it wasnt related to Chelsea it was a really in depth and informative read.
I and I am sure a lot of the other posters would love something similar in relation to Chelsea. It might give some of the whingers some food for thought aswell (ok, who am I trying to kid. ) but still if You ever have the time I genuinely would love to read it.
Keep up the great work Ed002 and the Posters here.
KTBFFH!

Hey EmilSC,
It was a few months ago now.
If I remember correctly I think it was on the Liverpool Page :)
It was a really great, informative read.

guys, Ed002 did used to supply this info (in depth) to us, however, a small percentage led by a certain Curt (and other deleted abusive posts that we never see) has ruined it for the real longterm fans on here. Our support of the Ed's and chastising the dickheads may eventually result in this site returning to what it was a few years ago. It will take time to regain the Ed's trust, we need to be patient and vigilant!
