Hi Ed, rumours are Juventus is seriously interested in Ramires. Any chance we use this interest to package him in a deal for Pogba for summer maybe like 35+Ramires??

Chelsea4life

{Ed002's Note - Transfers rarely work like that.}


1.) 23 Dec 2014 11:26:55
Why offload ramires? He's a very good squad player to have.

{Ed002's Note - In order to be able to buy players others must be sold. Ramires is a player who interests other clubs and that will help Chelsea facilitate what they are looking to do going forward. I suspect there is every chance he will leave in the summer.}


2.) 23 Dec 2014 23:12:28
Would chelsea look to sign another player as a replacement for ramires if he leaves, or would they look to within the club?

{Ed002's Note - There are a number of players Chelsea are interested in - as discussed.}

Hi Ed, with Everton renewing their desire to sign Lukaku do you see a chance of us landing a deal involving Barkley and also Mangala's price seems to have come down a bit lately is there a chance we go in for him or are we more likely to focus on Varane, any chance of Ramires plus cash for Pogba?Finally any talks happening in regards to any other strikers? Thanks for all you do!! So much appreciated!

Chelsea4life

{Ed002's Note - (1) Everton want to keep RB, and to be honest that would be best for the player. (2) Right now the interest is in Varane - if that can't happen maybe things will change. (3) I cannot answer questions with "any chance" in. (4) There is nothing new in respect of forwards that have not been previously mentioned.}

Ed002. Assuming we go with either Courtois or Cech, is club looking at any young prospects or a possible veteran to bring in for backup or is plan to keep Shwartz for 1 more year? Thanks.

Chelsea4life

{Ed002's Note - Darlow of Nottingham Forest.}


1.) I thought Schwarzer was retiring from domestic as well as international football at the end of the season?
What happened to Jamal Blackman, I saw him in a friendly (can't remember who against) and he looked pretty useful for a young guy with limited experience.


 

 

24 Apr 2014 20:07:18
Hi Ed, wondering if we still hold serious interest in following star players: Mangala, Vidal, Barkley, Varane and Falcao? And who if any do you see as strong possibility. Thanks!

Chelsea4life

{Ed002's Note - Mangala is too expensive and will likely be moving to Manchester. Vidal is of interest but a transfer to London is unlikely. If Everton want Lukaku then Chelsea would want to work a deal involving Barkley. Varane remains of interest. Falcao is of less interest than Costa and Cavani.}

Shout out to lads on field for showing some fight back in second half. Chelsea need to decide if they want to be good or great. If you want to stay with City and Man U for the long term we are going to have to quit nickel and diming and window shopping and be willing to spend a bit more for key targets especially early on. Teams like City don't fart around, they identify and if available pay and take him! Emelano and Maria take for ever to get deals done and although you can't always get who you want we waste time always. tired of hearing we won't overpay! I am not for wasting money but geez what makes more sense spend a few million more for a key player who will be at club 8-10 years or turn the position over 3 times during that same period? Now AGAIN we will go into panic mode buying soon and end up still overpaying for probably some average players.

Chelsea4life

1.) 13 Aug 2017 09:42:35
I doubt we'll overpay or sign average players. The Sharkopod shows we have some obvious targets who I think would be good acquisitions.

Hey lads been on here for years but rarely text. Kudos to board so far for some quality signings but I am worried about not having added any quality depth for this year. Morata for Costa at best even trade, Tiemoue for Matic slight improvement offensively and Rudiger for Zouma is a standstill and slightly weaker at backup goalie, I feel we must add at least a LWB, RWB or attacking winger if we want to use William or Pedro or Azpi there a bit and another striker and now CM. Man U and Man City will have the depth and I fear we would be 1 injury to a cm or attacking winger (Hazard, Pedro or Willian who don't offer much offensively) from being in real trouble. Don't need to be world class but quality that come come in and provide solid cover. Although I strongly feel we need to upgrade at LWB, yes Alonso was good but if we want to shoot for double we need better at that spot.

Chelsea4life

1.) 21 Jul 2017 22:48:49
Agreed but we do need 1 more for CM, i think we need cover for Alonso and Moses. We are fighting on all fronts and Moses is normally injury prone. so let's hope a few more come in.
Lets face it we have the youth to cover it but we just seem to sell and loan them.


 

 

26 Aug 2016 19:25:37
First the Luis debacle, then the Raman joke, now looks like Alonso by the time were done fooling around we could have bought Alaba! It's becoming a sad trend as we waste valuable time in window then get desperate and waste money with "stop gap purchases"! What I find really funny is sometimes we haggle over a few million here and there but don't seem to mind wasting millions on players who will never stick with team! Not being negative guys, I will always support my Chelsea but just being realist! I simply struggle to see how we get in too 4 without a decent full back and centre back signing! But of course we knew that months ago! Rant over!

Chelsea4life

1.) 26 Aug 2016 19:46:12
I don't think he's the worst player. At Sunderland he put in some good performances but it just seems like a huge let down when you think of the names we have been linked with. I'm holding onto the hope that 2 or 3 more can come in but a top four finish would be an improvement on last season. We have a very good team, capable of beating anyone in the league so if we are lucky regarding injuries then I'm sure we will challenge.


 

 

05 Aug 2016 06:53:57
Yep let's spend 25 mil on a CB we are not even sure will start for us ever! Next year will spend another 25 mil trying to find another or we could just spend 50 now and have Koulabaly for next 8-10 yrs! Man we are never going to be back on top till we get this boardroom fiasco on transfer decisions solved at our club! CB is our glaring issue, it's about Terry passing the torch. What's the plan for next year? Wheel John back onto the field!

Chelsea4life

1.) 05 Aug 2016 07:51:35
So Koulibaly, someone who we don't even know if he's good enough for us, is worth us forking out the reported sums?

Let the professionals do there job, they know what they're doing.


2.) 05 Aug 2016 08:19:08
Amazing how good people are at spending fictitious money.

Maybe there was a typo in the opening sentence and it should have read: Yep let's spend 25 mil on a CB I've not seen play so I'm not sure will start for us?


3.) 05 Aug 2016 09:13:52
I have to agree with you Chelsea for life, we done the same with wingers, pedro, shurle, salah, Moses, it seems our new tactic is instead of signing a quality player for 40-50 million we will sign 5 20 million pound players and hope 1 or 2 are any good, (if in doubt -loan them out)


4.) 05 Aug 2016 09:23:21
If they were spending 50mil on him would you want him then. forget the money and get behind your team if we win lose or draw chelsea is all that matters me for one would be happy playing the youths and making them into 50mil players.


5.) 05 Aug 2016 13:11:45
I am sure we all get behind our team win, lose or draw but they are in the EPL to win, maybe draw and minimize the losses and last seadon was a shock to most. The transfers in pre-season, the apparent lack of fitness and the malaise that infected the team all season, so nobody wants that again. One must assume Conte lives up to his reputation for working players hard so hopefully we will not have any fitness issues BUT there are glaring weaknesses in the team which have not been addressed as yet and that is where most of the frustration is coming from. Of course a team like us in our position are going to be vulnerable to blackmail prices but there are few players saying outright 'I want to join Chelsea' apart from possibly Lukaku and the price that 'appears' to be offered smacks of desperation to me.


6.) 05 Aug 2016 13:43:24
C1915 that's exactly how I feel, the team has been rubbish for 18 months, and I can blatantly see we are weak in a few positions, I know there's over 3 weeks left of the window, but I honestly believe we won't be in the title race unless we make 2/ 3 top quality signings, and that's disheartening as a Chelsea supporter.


7.) 05 Aug 2016 14:13:55
No Christensen mate.


8.) 05 Aug 2016 14:04:23
New breed of supporters. All they want to do is buy the very best and the most expensive players. Stick to football manager or Fifa if I were you.


9.) 05 Aug 2016 14:40:16
CFC Adam if that post was aimed at me I can tell you I've supported Chelsea from 1997, I was 9 at the time I watched the Coke cup final I think, when dimatteo scored bar and in in the first minute ever since then I've been hooked probably to the bridge 30-40 times, and I swear on my sons life the last Fifa game I ever played was Fifa 98, now I think I state fair opinions, I haven't just woken up and thought of something, i believe we have been dreadful for 18 months, we've now had mourinho, hiddink and conte all in the last 9 months, so if we are not up to scratch surely it has to be the players? Or am I just being fickle? , or a pessimist? , I I think both Manchester clubs will pull away into a 2 horse race purely down to the signings theve made and will make, now how does wanting to sign 2/ 3 real top quality players regardless of there price make us a bad fan? , call me daft but I think the better the players the better the chance of winning a game of football? , if that wasn't aimed at me then I just wasted 5 minutes of my life writing this, but you shouldn't question people's support or passion just because they want to improve the squad.


10.) 05 Aug 2016 14:43:10
Well said CFCAdam. I haven't been on here for a while as the negativity and current squad "player bashing"is brain numbing.


11.) 05 Aug 2016 14:45:40
The Christensen situation is not straight forward, catch 22, do we wait a year or 2 until he is ready and hope he becomes good enough? Or do we sign a player now because our current squad so desperately needs 1, but could possibly block his Chelsea future, but what if he's never going to be good enough at the highest level? Not easy decisions.


12.) 05 Aug 2016 16:20:52
How do you know he won't ever start for us? Has any of the people bashing the potential signing of Lindelof/ Mustafi actually watched either of them play a lot in order to actually base your criticism on. Or is it simply because they're not valued at £50m? Have any of you even watched Koulibaly enough that you can guarentee he'll be a success or are you again basing his perceived quality on his price?


13.) 05 Aug 2016 16:30:21
CFCAdam. A supporter long before you and there was no mention of spending big just wisely. That is something we did appallingly last year and this year we have bought two 'potentially' useful players but not addressed key areas that are glaring in the friendlies. I am sure you and similar will be the first to start moaning if we get five games in and dropped stupid points. We ALL want what's best for the club and nobody there will certainly be interested in our opinion but if you think this current team will be battling for the title this season then you are in for a massive disappointment.


14.) 05 Aug 2016 17:51:39
Roberto Di Matteos goal in the first minute (bar and in) was in the FA Cup vs Middlesbrough not Coca Cola cup Cat.


15.) 05 Aug 2016 19:10:05
Jcfc thank you so so much for correcting me On that, I was 9 years old, and we played them 9 months later in the Coca Cola cup.


16.) 05 Aug 2016 21:22:45
How do you know so much about me JCFC? Apparently!

Cat - was a general thing mate. Seems all the newish supporters just want us to spend £50m on new players every time. When put simply - that's not going to happen. And if they want it too, they should stick to FIFA and FM.

JCFC - Conte has obviously used the friendlies and the Tours to take stock of what he's got and what he needs. It was always going to be that case. He needed to get used to the players himself. Maybe as you've been a fan for many many years you should have known that! And he wasn't just going to go out and buy every good player. Think some players have surprised him maybe - Aina, Chalobah Spring to mind!

This squad won us the league before last mate, again you should know that! The whole season, starting from pre season was bad last year and got worse! This one we look hungry and ready to fight. We may not win the league but we'll go close. Stop being so negative.


17.) 06 Aug 2016 10:18:34
Huh? What you on about CFCAdam I said nothing?


18.) 06 Aug 2016 15:51:44
Sorry JCFC that was to C1915 not you.

Guys help me understand? I just read a column from Mark Lawless stating that Napoli have come out and stated that they have received two offers from Premier League. They say by far Everyon is the best and most firmest deal! I don't get the dancing around, either pay the price they want or walk away and focus on next target. If we lose Coulibally to Everton I will be upset. Want him bad, would be formidable pair with Zouma. Both big, strong, fast and physical. We need to make up our minds now, need to get final pieces in. With two weeks left we need to get them in our system now to be fully ready for start of season. Hopefully Koulibally and one more striker! If we wind up not being able to get Moratta, Cavani or Lukaku due to price or teams not selling what about Lacazette? Paired up with Cista he would run off Costa as a target man and with Michy would be fearsome duo of power and pace!

Chelsea4life

1.) 28 Jul 2016 20:46:55
Napoli are saying that because they want more money from us, and the player only has interest in us.

Cat I agree with you and although I will always try and be positive and support my Chelsea it just seems we waste massive amounts of time on transfer that "probably or maybe" won't happen and leave ourselves no time. I am not saying be held at random neither but have a final price and at some point give your best offer and move on. We have not learnt our lesson from past couple years. Now unfortunately we will have to massively overpay as it is final hours and world knows we are desperate or we settle for average players to fill our pressing need at end as we simply can't have just 5 defenders or we will be the laughing stock! AKA Djillobodji, Raman, Falcao, Pato, Pedro. I can see same thing happening again.

Yes! Another year of Brana defending with his hands behind his back, getting torched all over and when he does make run down the flank crossing into the stands! Great decision! We need to move forward not backwards! C'mon Chelsea take the emotions out of it, his best days long behind him, he is at best cover for cb's. Truly disappointing!

If same formation Cavani and Lukaku, if 4-3-3 then Costa and Rooney! Just my opinion!
