Hi Ed just a couple of questions if you've got time

Connor Gallagher I know the club are open to offers and with him only having 2 years on his contract has he been offered an extention .
And secondly with us looking for one or 2 midfielders are our talented youngsters Santos cased
Chucky moreno and humpphries staying around the squad or going on loan its a difficult one because they need game time but they show great promise and have a lot to offer but where are they going to get first team minutes
Many thanks Ed
Apologise if these points have already been covered.

Johnfozzie

{Ed002's Note - He will be offered an extension if he stays. Some players are going on loan as part of their development - and some have already gone.}

Thank you.


 

 

20 Jul 2023 13:26:31
I know and understand the issues for you doing lists and such so I'm not asking specifics but can you tell us what positions and how many at that position on the pitch we are looking at for the first team squad
I'm hearing so much bs from multiple sources and to be honest unless Ed 2 tells us it's hard to believe
Anyway understand if you don't want to and I know I've probly left myself open fur the cutting wit
But thanks for all you do.

Johnfozzie

{Ed002's Note - I really have no interest in sharing anything any longer. The page has degraded to BS and misinformation.}


1.) 20 Jul 2023 18:16:25
I guessed so such a shame
Thank you anyway.


2.) 21 Jul 2023 12:10:21
I fear this page will become like spurs page.


3.) 22 Jul 2023 22:26:40
I’m new here but have been following for a while. I understand why you wouldn’t give info due to a couple of bells but there are new people on this site that genuinely care about the club and would like to know what’s happening and in the transfer market. Can you not block them so the people that care and are true chelsea fans can get transfer info? I’ve been to some terrible restaurants but it doesn’t stop me
Going to another, plus idiots i don’t like I block on social media. Just an idea.

{Ed002's Note - Sadly not Ronnie.}

Morning guys and the eds
Do any of you know what the future holds for ehan ampadu
I feel he could be be great cover for the squad.

Johnfozzie

{Ed002's Note - Ethan Apadu (CB) Is available for transfer and Udinese may opt to make an offer for him but want the asking price reduced.}


1.) 15 Jul 2023 13:02:13
Thanks Ed.


2.) 16 Jul 2023 04:05:58
Ampadu should be sold as he's not good enough for Chelsea.
On a different note I would like the return of rudiger.


 

 

22 Jun 2023 15:36:26
Hi Ed
Excuse me if I sound naive with all the outgoings rumoured and most seeming imminent is there intrest in cucarella and if he moves on will we keep maatson
Also are our targets still a gk 2 midfielders and a striker
Thanks for all your great work.

Johnfozzie

{Ed002's Note - Ian Maatsen (LB) Wanted by Burnley.
Marc Cucurella (LB) Attracting interest from Atletico and Newcastle.

Chelsea has midfield targets as well.}


1.) 24 Jun 2023 07:51:29
Sorry but let me size the opportunity to ask what exactly the positions club are looking to bring in players. Not asking for the names but will even feel better if provided. the positions will do. Thanks.


 

 

23 Apr 2023 16:52:31
Hi Ed with our squad already swollen and at least 3 others coming in the summer and I know we are also still looking to add further to the squad how many players do you see leaving or going on loan.

Johnfozzie

{Ed002's Note - 14.}


1.) 24 Apr 2023 08:57:31
I’ve added it all up and the min we get £287, 401 mil and 36p.

Apparently the we must get the 36p to comply with FFP.


2.) 24 Apr 2023 05:59:14
Wow thanks Ed that's a major overhaul which in all fairness is needed and with a new manager coming in too hopefully he or she will have the summer with the squad then want.


3.) 24 Apr 2023 11:11:40
And for an extra point Ed, can you name them,


4.) 24 Apr 2023 12:50:26
Good luck with that matt.


5.) 24 Apr 2023 15:46:01
12 points to Gryfandor.


6.) 24 Apr 2023 17:19:12
OK then chaps I've got a possible 18 that includes our lones going back and some of the loanees we have out as well and if we are buying I'm assuming thete may be more too.


7.) 24 Apr 2023 18:54:52
1.Mendy
2.TC
3.KK
4.Zakaria
5.Kovacic
6.Conor (not my choice)
7.Azpi
8.Maetsen (not my choice)
9.Pulisic
10.Ziech
11.PEA
12.RLC
13.Lukaku
14.CHO.


8.) 24 Apr 2023 19:05:04
Could be 14 or maybe more from this list

1. Kepa and/ or Mendy
2. Maatsen (hopefully loan)
3. Azpi
4. Chalobah
5. Koulibaly
6. Kovacic
7. Loftus Cheek
8. Gallagher
9. Mount
10. Chukwuemeka (loan)
11. Pulisic
12. Ziyech
13. Sterling
14. Aubameyang
15. Havertz.


9.) 24 Apr 2023 20:07:43
Dazzle, CHO and Ampadu along with one or two other loanees!

I don’t agree entirely with any of the lists above but it’s a good game.

I would also add, I think one or two fan’s favourites could well be leaving?


10.) 24 Apr 2023 21:15:09
Names Thomas? what fans favourites? keep the game spicy. I had forgot about Ampadu and do agree he will go. Maybe Felix as well?


11.) 24 Apr 2023 21:56:41
G8, you can also add player like Sterling.

I guess it depends on what players any group of fans perceive as a fan’s favourite.

As things stand today I can’t see Felix being signed and I don’t think we will reach an agreement with Mount (shame) that will satisfy him. I also have a feeling Havertz and CG could will end up going. Anyway I think two of those three will be sold.

Also, maybe Chilly (hope not) .

If someone offers stupid money James (god forbid) I think the club could be tempted.

I may well be wrong but I still think English clubs will spend big this season for various reasons. It could well be that the fees we have paid for some players begins to look like good value. Not that I care much.


12.) 24 Apr 2023 22:01:50
1) Mendy / kepa - one or other
2) lukaku
3) sterling
4) KK
5) RLC
6) ziyech
7) pulisic
8) ampadu
9) CHO
10) azpi
11) zakaria
12) felix
13) PEA
14) Gallagher
15) hall / Chucky / Hutchinson / DD Fofana - LOAN.


13.) 24 Apr 2023 22:15:51
Yeah ampadu and cho definately leaving, forgot about them. Fan favorites, Yeah mason could leave but reports now that poch wants him to stay and maybe broja also if good bid comes in and we bring in a big name cf.


14.) 24 Apr 2023 22:20:52
One of Chilly, MC or IM, will surely be leaving.


15.) 24 Apr 2023 22:37:01
Top man Tom for replying. I don't think it will be easy to move Sterling on. The club want to keep Kai. Mount? 50.50, Chilly to City could happen but don't think it will. Reece to Real could also happen but don't think it will?


16.) 24 Apr 2023 22:47:47
Tom, you’re right some are going to be disappointed about certain players going but we all accept the squad must be trimmed by a minimum of 10 players. I would keep Havertz, and integrate Colwill and Maatsen in to the first team squad. To that end, I would be happy to get rid of Chilwell and make some money. As I said in an earlier reply to you if Poch becomes our new coach Mendy has no future. I only expect 2 signings in the summer and possibly a keeper but that is fine with me.


17.) 24 Apr 2023 23:25:05
If BC and MC stay another loan as a starter at Burnley makes sense Tom for Maatsen.
I agree with you re Mount, I think him and CG will both be sold, and I've had a bad feeling for a while now that if RM come for James he'll want to go.
Off to compile my list.


18.) 25 Apr 2023 06:37:21
Here's mine
Kept
Mendy
Felixstowe
Zakaria
Lukaku
Ampadu
Cho
Kk
Loftus
Gallagher
Kove
Sterling be difficult
Cucarella
abamayang
Silva I hope not but I feel he may want more
These are not my preferences but we need to make room and have a mana0gea0ble squad.


19.) 25 Apr 2023 12:05:18
John, I think Silva stays as a player and and influencer.


20.) 25 Apr 2023 19:19:23
I hope he does but I think he may want a challenge maybe 1 more year in champions league.


21.) 28 Apr 2023 19:34:57
Very hard to do "just a list", so imo:
Definite outs.
1. Mendy
2. Azpi ( legend, but back to Spain, and thanks for everything)
3. KK
4. RLC
5. CG
6. Ziech
7. Pulisic
8. Zakaria
9. Lukaku
10. PEA
Possible outs:
1. Kepa (if another no 1 can be signed, Slonina as no 2 to develop)
2.TC ( I think the club will loan him, hoping he will mature/ develop elsewhere)
3.Kovatic ( has his head been turned by Man City), think he wants a new challenge. Injury doubts are there in last couple of seasons.
4.Mount, I feel his agents are going for the "super deal", hard to justify when, this season he has either been average, or non extistant due to injury.
5.Broja, Good initially then drops off every season, not what we need, is not an EPL striker.
6.Raheem, along with Lukaku a bad buy, hopefully the Saudi's will come to the party. As Ed says he will be hard to move, so only in the possible list.
7.Felix, I think the club would like to keep/ buy him but will depend on certain sales.

Back from loan:
Colwill, Santos, Gusto - keep.
CHO, Ampadu -sell
Maatsen- keep if either one of BC or MC are sold, if not re-loan to a prem team Burnley being the obvious.

Happy new year one and all
Dear Ed

I know in the past you have said swap deals are very rare in this country
But with ffp restrictions can you see swap deals becoming more common
In yhe future or will we see more loan deals
Many thanks.

Johnfozzie

{Ed002's Note - I don't understand the question - it has nothing to do with FFP.}


 

 

21 Dec 2023 17:34:34
A question for the community
I would also like the eds input if they have time .
Who do you think we should buy that are realistic in this window
Or even what positions .

Johnfozzie

1.) 22 Dec 2023 08:28:03
Striker and a proper DM. I doubt we’ll get any top targets in January so I’ve left out any of the obvious. Realistically 2 of these:
Openda
Wahi
J David
Tammy

Kone
Andre (Brazil)
Zubimendi
Fofana


I’ve not seen much of the guy from the Dutch league and I’m sceptical about Gyokeres still.


2.) 22 Dec 2023 08:49:30
Buy Mitrovic. A bully up top who’s good in the air.

Move on Sarr, Chalobah and Broja. Broja has all the tools that doesn’t convince me.

I would also start playing Maatsen and try to move on Cucu. He’s on big wages and is not good enough. Hence being hard to move on.


3.) 22 Dec 2023 10:21:33
I hope Sarr can be moved on in this window.

I also assume we will get the lad back from Forest and I’m not sure if we can loan him out to another club or maybe it’s best for him to stay.

I guess we will except a good offer for Chalaboa (mistake) and I understand a few clubs have inquired about his fitness and availability.

I can’t see Cucarella being sold as it would now appear he can cover at RB and to be fair his form has improved this year. Depending on his injury status I’m not sure the club could chance selling Maatsen in this window.

If someone comes in and offers a large amount for Conor I can see us excepting it. Say £60m.

I think the club would like the goalkeeper from Milan and Osimhen but it’s hard to imagine either happening in the Jan window.

A mate told me we will be “selling 4 or 5 players in the Jan window. I’m struggling to work out who they could be given our injuries.


 

 

17 Aug 2023 13:11:16
Just read olive has signed a new deal with Palace

Will we still look to sign another attacking player or is a keeper now the priorities.

Johnfozzie

1.) 17 Aug 2023 13:21:03
Queue the Kudus rumours….


 

 

17 Aug 2023 06:38:49
Well boys and girls I know its not finished yet but what a whirlwind this window has been I'm not sure if further down the line we will be in trouble for it but we have all been crying out for a major overhaul of the squad for years and one year they've done it .
I suppose it will only be judged by trophies but I personally think wow if we can find goals from somewhere be it jackson or the midfield chipping in I think we can look to challenge for trophies and get back in the champions league so excited for the season
.
If the owners can finally get the stadium started too crikey .
On a side note
Did the eds expect this sort of spending well investing really because hopefully these players are only going to grow in value .
Cheers for all the info
And banter from everyone but especially the eds keep up the goid work
Keep the faith
Come on you blues.

Johnfozzie

{Ed002's Note - The number of players arriving is roughly as expected and those leaving is about the same - although more are to go.}


 

 

12 Aug 2023 09:27:32
Just a quick question Ed with us being linked all over the place with various players positions and teams .
Would it be feasible that any clubs we are in for there players would take one of our promising youngsters on loan as a touch of a sweetener maybe a bit like the magic loan a few years back .
Also apart from Hudson zyech and lukaku maybe chalabah do you see and other senior players leaving permanently.
I appreciate what a busy and ridiculous time this is for you all but I'm just desperate for information that we can trust.

Johnfozzie

{Ed002's Note - Players are still going to be leaving.}

I'm probubly way off the mark here but I recon we may be close to lavia and conceido so Adams may have been down the lust but in all fairness I have no clue in this transfer window there seems to be so much going on.

Well done Tom didn't think of ampadu
Ive heard levi wants to talk to the gaffer before he signs a new contract too and I think if cucurella stays then maatson may go as well
Then there is the lukaku situation and also what will happen with dd fofana
this is a major overhaul
I think the owners have done in 1 window what has needed to happen in the last six an overhaul and players out.
