Chelsea are still trying to bring in 2 or 3 players with a major effort on Pogba
1.) 31 Aug 2015 12:57:38
That's reassuring to here!
2.) 31 Aug 2015 13:00:24
Thank ED018. Papy Djilobodji has been tracked by us for last couple of seasons and one of our scouts has strong Nantes links so I expect him to sign Today.
3.) 31 Aug 2015 13:00:48
Is stones deal completely over now?
4.) 31 Aug 2015 13:05:04
Would be good to get a extra 2-3 players in if they can improve this team. This new cb we are supposedly getting ( not even going to try pronounce his name) doesn't seem to fit that bill, we all didn't hear of Dave before hand but with Dave we was after him all summer. This is a quick panic buy. In terms of pogba. Good to see the board trying but I'm not holding my breath
5.) 31 Aug 2015 13:46:11
Fantastic news Ed thanks again!
6.) 31 Aug 2015 13:47:06
I think we will find Papy Djilobodji is back-up to the current team at £2.7m, no more. I saw him against PSG and he was run ragged although not his fault. Playing for an average team in an average league outside the top five clubs it is difficult to impress. I do wonder if we have purchased him so quickly because Ivanovic will be on his way in this transfer window.
7.) 31 Aug 2015 14:03:22
What qualities does he have Frensham?
8.) 31 Aug 2015 15:28:08
I love that guy's name!
9.) 31 Aug 2015 16:09:00
Mc93: Sadly, I never really focused on him anymore than the other Nantes players. PSG won 5-0 and it was Ibrahimovic I was watching more than anyone, I think he scored two, maybe three. All I can tell you is what can be found elsewhere, he was very tall, decent in the air and athletic, looked a lot like Kurt Zouma but as I said the defence was run ragged. Sorry but I never dreamt that Chelsea would sign anyone from Nantes!
10.) 31 Aug 2015 16:21:59
Thanks for the reply Frensham! And I wouldn't of thought we would spend 3.5mill on a defender and think he would reassure our defence. He might who knows but i'm not optimistic.
11.) 31 Aug 2015 16:45:35
Pogba not going to happen at all if you listen to Di Marzio and a few other journos on Twitter. Shame really. Hopefully we have others lined up. Any info on the players we are after Ed018?
{Ed018's Note - not at the moment}
12.) 31 Aug 2015 16:50:33
Ed018, any further updates? For example do you know if Dijiboulji is seen as one of those two/three significant players? Is there any chance of Pogba? Or indeed do we have any alternatives in mind?
{Ed018's Note - nothing further at the moment}
13.) 31 Aug 2015 16:52:49
Mc93 and other: Papy Djilobodji. I have done what everyone else has probably done also and looked at him on the internet. For the money and if Guy Hillion was involved, we might, just might have found someone that will surprise us. No comparison to the Premiership the league he is in but there was a lot to like and there was definitely a Zouma manner about him. Worth reserving judgement until he gets game time
14.) 31 Aug 2015 17:48:53
I'm trying Frensham!
22 Aug 2015 01:17:26
Quick update from the post below
Lacazette is still a possibility - the club has asked Remy if he would be interested in going to Lyon. An issue remains that Lyon want two other players from Chelsea that the club has no wish to sell
discussions are continuing regarding where Manea will spend next season - he has just turned 18 so the deal is being completed. Cagliari's Godfred Donsah has been subject of two offers from Chelsea but it looks like he is heading elsewhere right now. After two rejected bids Chelsea have seemingly given up on bringing in another goalkeeper.
1.) 22 Aug 2015 01:24:21
Can you tell us who the other two players are? How likely is the Lacazette thing to happen?
And what's going on with Pogba? Is there anyone else we might get if it falls through?
Thanks again and sorry for all the questions haha.
{Ed018's Note - not important and actually you might be able to search the page and fine the answer. No way of measuring if any of these deals will happen}
2.) 22 Aug 2015 01:32:34
Okay Ed cheers, will just have to see what happens!
3.) 22 Aug 2015 01:37:09
Thanks so much eds!
4.) 22 Aug 2015 03:00:08
Thanks for the update Ed018. Hopefully something happens in the coming days
5.) 22 Aug 2015 04:22:02
omg if they can pull this off if we actually get pogba and dave is put back to the right with baba on the left and costa stays fit holy jesus lordy lord that team is scary good to have hazard and pogba in same team both so young even if he costs a bomb in 5 years we could name our price for both i'm so excited pleaseeeeee get it done ROMAN
6.) 22 Aug 2015 04:33:15
Really_robbo, Lyon likely wanted Boga and Traore as they've expressed an interest in them before.
7.) 22 Aug 2015 08:59:39
Thanks a bunch, Ed018! Great stuff, I love reading those kind of updates :-)
8.) 22 Aug 2015 04:26:13
Ed018, do you know what's the pricetag Juve are looking for Pogba?
{Ed018's Note - no. Lets just assume it's a lot}
9.) 22 Aug 2015 09:58:04
Thanks Ed, even if we don't get Pogba but still end up with Stones, Baba, Pedro and Lacazette then what an upgrade that would be. Would happily see Remu, Caudrado, Moses and Mikel leave then. It's going to be an exciting week! 😀
10.) 22 Aug 2015 10:43:25
Is there any update on stones? Or have we given up for the time being.
11.) 22 Aug 2015 10:57:11
Thanks for the replies and info from other posters! :)
12.) 22 Aug 2015 11:34:46
Thanks Ed018! Hopefully we can pull these off!
21 Aug 2015 12:54:38
cfcforever's write up on Xhaka is on the Others page so everyone knows. I put it there due to the size of the post. Go check it out
1.) 21 Aug 2015 14:59:48
Looks like a nice player. Are Chelsea in for him?
2.) 21 Aug 2015 17:52:25
Not as of now. Although I would like to see one of Van Ginkel or Pasalic take Ramires's spot next season if they progress well.
3.) 21 Aug 2015 20:50:23
Pasalic looks like a real player, looking forward to following his development this year.
18 Jul 2015 14:23:08
Bamford will be going out on loan with Crystal Palace, Norwich, and Middlesborough being considered
1.) 18 Jul 2015 14:31:13
If he returns to Boro I'll be terribly disappointed. Palace is a very interesting option IMO. They have quite a good team and Pardew is a good manager. They'd be my pick (unless of course they buy some bigger name striker).
Thanks for that update, Ed018 :-)
2.) 18 Jul 2015 14:36:02
If this is true and remy leaves than we should sign another striker this transfer window
3.) 18 Jul 2015 14:38:13
Id love to see him at Palace! Bolasie, Cabaye, Zaha etc supplying him would be great. Mourinho seems to get on well with Pardew so hopefully itll happen.
4.) 18 Jul 2015 16:58:08
I personally don't think we need another striker if Traore's in the squad because he could be emergency 3rd choice.
5.) 18 Jul 2015 17:43:23
Agree that we don't need another especially with it sounding like solanke will be with the youth rather than on loan. I just hope wherever he goes, he gets plenty of playing time. He had a really good year but I don't want him to have what happened to chalobah following his really positive spell at watford.

On YouTube, check out 442oons The Pedro Story. It's hysterical
1.) 24 Aug 2015 18:20:47
I absolutely love that channel. Yet I am always worried what they will upload after we have lost a match
2.) 24 Aug 2015 18:24:40
Hahahaha! Brilliant find that! Almost gets into the song hall of fame along with the Willian Song and also Oops I hit him again (A Suarez parody that is very clever haha!)
Oh and for the process or BS, utter BS for LVG, Pedro is good friends with Valdes and apparently he told him Van Gaal is a monster!
3.) 24 Aug 2015 18:49:25
Many thanks Ed. cheered me up no end!
4.) 24 Aug 2015 20:22:12
Quailty! 😂😂

Cheers Ed, looking at it I got a bit carried away! Do really like the player though!
14 Aug 2015 22:29:22
Nathan had a very nice goal for Vitesse, hope that's a sign of things to come
1.) 15 Aug 2015 13:29:46
Indeed it was a beautiful curler. Hopefully he can keep showing his stuff and start a few games as well.
2.) 16 Aug 2015 00:20:29
Great goal, but absolutely awful defending by the other team. They didn't even seem bothered about tackling him. Surely that's not the standard of the Dutch league?
24 May 2015 17:58:05
Great season everyone. Everyone make sure you stick around and keep posting this summer. Hopefully next season is even better. Remember read the posts before asking questions as well
1.) 24 May 2015 21:00:20
Cheers Ed018. A great season indeed. It felt fantastic to see them lift the trophy again, finally!
Busy period for myself right now with exams once again approaching fast but I'll try to keep posting a bit.
And agreed, Ed. Let's all try that magnificent search function first if we have a question ;-) That way we can all get along and have a nice and pleasant transfer window this summer.
Thanks to all the Eds, with special mentions of course for Ed018 and Ed002. You guys do some amazing work and I'm very grateful for it, as I'm sure many others are as well! :-)
{Ed018's Note - good luck on your exams Jackson}
2.) 24 May 2015 21:40:02
Thanks mate! :) first one's in about a week and a half. But after that they'll come thick and fast so it'll be hectic till the end of June. Keep it rolling on here until then, okay? ;-)
So happy today with the title! Congrats to all Chelsea fans :)
{Ed002's Note - You should quit school and go to the library and educate yourself.}
3.) 24 May 2015 22:27:50
You serious, Ed002? It'd be hard to find a good job nowadays without a degree. And I like to think there's at least some educating going on at university haha :)
Everyone's entitled to his/her own opinion, but I wouldn't feel very confident in getting a good job without a degree. Only my opinion of course :-)
{Ed002's Note - Educate yourself man.}
4.) 25 May 2015 07:26:05
I do my best, Ed, I do my best :-)
22 Aug 2015 01:05:07
Disregard Griezmann. Was told he won't be moving
