Ed002
It's being reported we are interested in Tosin Adarabioyo.
Is this true or just another rumour?
Many thanks.
{Ed002's Note - He is a Free Agent in the summer but likely heading elsewhere. Well down the list of CB options for Chelsea.}
1.) 03 May 2024 16:18:01
I’ve heard Newcastle as the most likely option.
01 May 2024 13:06:55
Ed002
It's being reported that we are keen to sign Hartman a leftback from Feynoord.
It also claims he is recovering from a serious knee injury.
Surely this isn't true?
Many thanks.
{Ed002's Note - Quilindschy Hartman (LWB) Turned down a move to Burnley after they failed to sign Ian Maatsen in 2023. Watched by scouts from Newcastle, West Ham and Chelsea, who have far preferred targets.}
1.) 01 May 2024 14:35:53
Ed if you don't mind, please could you tell who the preferred patio for Chelsea is. I will understand if you don't of you don't want to.
{Ed001's Note - patio?}
2.) 01 May 2024 15:04:45
Thanks Ed002 that's a relief the last thing we need is another injury prone players.
3.) 01 May 2024 18:09:29
It’s balde from Barcelona been discussed before.
4.) 02 May 2024 15:23:50
Ed I'm sorry for that typo error. My plea was who's the club preferred choice for the left back. Sorry once again. Thanks. Patio was wrongly typed for player.

Ed002
Which positions do you think the club will look to fill this coming transfer window?
My guess is Goalkeeper/ CB/ Striker.
Also unsubtantiated rumours that the age profile of the players incoming could be older this time.
Would you know if this is true because we sure do need a bit more experience in the squad.
Many thanks.
{Ed002's Note - They know a GK is needed, a CB and a S are required plus they are looking at players in other positions due to potential departures.}
1.) 30 Apr 2024 10:49:22
Guessing winger? Perhaps LB if some of our LBs leave.
2.) 30 Apr 2024 14:22:08
Ed002
Would you know if Ramsdale is of interest for the goalkeeping position?
Many thanks.
{Ed002's Note - Not for Chelsea.}
3.) 30 Apr 2024 15:28:27
GK, CB and Striker I do find it strange the money we’ve spent and the true spine of the squad is lacking. Preferably a top class experienced centre back and a striker who is good in the air and different to Jackson. Sesko and Kim would be my choices. Not read of interest in Kim but he doesn’t seem to be playing much at Bayern and their fans rate him also. Goalkeeper I have no clue maybe Bento.
4.) 30 Apr 2024 14:52:08
Ed002
Are they looking for an experienced number one or another promising young player?
Hopefully the former.
Many thanks.
{Ed002's Note - There is a list including both.}
5.) 30 Apr 2024 16:18:57
Lads, Ed has posted a comprehensive transfer roundup on the Liverpool site.
Ed, thanks as always.
6.) 30 Apr 2024 19:02:36
Cheers Tom.
7.) 30 Apr 2024 17:53:02
Cheers Tom (and ED002)
8.) 30 Apr 2024 19:34:38
Would be great to see Guehi back at the club. His name has popped up a couple of times now. Him and Levi would make a great pairing.
9.) 30 Apr 2024 19:51:40
I would take Guehi over some of the foreign players abroad as he knows the league and club and is very underrated. Proven premier league centre half who’s good on the ball.
10.) 30 Apr 2024 20:32:38
Bare with me, but If rumours are true conte will be taking over at Napoli, a well know fan of lukaku, lukaku maybe not keen on Saudi, would / could we look to luakaku osimhen deal,
Osimhen does seem psg bound but seems an obvious deal that could suit everyone,
11.) 01 May 2024 08:39:41
We have more chsnce of a fully fit squad for the rest of the season than that outcome Matt.
12.) 01 May 2024 09:56:56
I could see Lukaku at Napoli with a modest fee and sensible wages for a couple of years if he doesn't want to take the money in Saudi.
13.) 01 May 2024 11:37:24
Not very likely but could he come back?
14.) 01 May 2024 13:18:36
You areright Tom, mot very likely.

Rumour doing the rounds that we don't have a shirt sponsor in place for next season.
Is this correct?
Many thanks.
{Ed002's Note - Not entirely.}
1.) 04 May 2024 12:02:05
Are we still in talks with airlines Ed and are infinite the not entirely fallback option if all else fails?
{Ed002's Note - There are still ongoing talks. IA are not the fallback for main shirt sponsor.}
2.) 04 May 2024 13:24:48
Thank you ED, much appreciated.
03 May 2024 21:08:36
Ed002
I noticed that you have said the club are experiencing difficulties in signing some of the key targets.
Is that related to not being in the CL or financial limitations or both/ neither?
Many thanks.
{Ed002's Note - Neither.}
1.) 04 May 2024 09:44:10
Sorry but I feel it could be our targets choosing or preferring other clubs over us and even the supposed selling clubs not willing to sell the player.
2.) 04 May 2024 08:49:28
Is it the project or the owners Ed?
{Ed002's Note - It is a difficult "project" to sell. The Champions League situation impacts one target.}
3.) 04 May 2024 11:59:53
Thank you for your response ED, much appreciated.
10 May 2024 11:28:26
Ed001
Thank you for spelling out the financial realities of retaining the bloke who has captained the side, worked his nuts off, scored important goals and clearly wants to stay at the club.
I think his importance to the side is vastly underrated by the club and he could easily become what Henderson was to Liverpool and that in my book is high praise.
{Ed001's Note - I agree. He has grown into a very important player in my opinion and he is clearly improving still.}
09 May 2024 13:28:13
Ed002
Leftback -Cucurella £60m incoming.
Hall/ Maatsen outgoings over £60m . The fee for young inexperienced players indicates they are highly thought of outside the club.
Midfield over £300m spent with little thought given to Conor developing but other clubs willing to spend £40/ 50m on him.
CB Over £150m with Chalobah apparently available for sale.
And why but Badiashile when we have Colwill.
08 May 2024 20:58:16
Ed002
Why aren't our academy players more highly valued?
A foreign option seems to always be the preferred option.
Many thanks.
{Ed002's Note - I don’t understand the question.}
07 May 2024 17:27:01
If the CF is quick and mobile and not more than £50m and is happy with the wage structure maybe. Particularly if we still have doubts about Nkunku fitness.
But this might stop Jackson's development which would be a shame.
It interests me that City haven't looked a better unit since Haaland rocked up and started scoring goals for fun, so maybe a lesson to be learned from that.
07 May 2024 13:55:52
I like the mobility of our current forwards and wouldn't want a more static striker like Osimhen quite apart from the cost and wages.
Also it wouldn't help the harmony of the group if a new player is signed on double the wages of the existing players.
If Nkunku injury is sorted I wouldn't make any big name striker signing.
And by the way our problem isn't scoring goals any longer.
07 May 2024 17:35:18
I am sure they would love to get a fat paycheque as he's an academy player.
He might decide to see his contract out of course which would be interesting!
07 May 2024 17:30:23
Not a chance of us signing him with two similar players in the squad AND he is injury prone.
Plus Paez is another in the same mould albeit much younger.
We have other much more important priorities currently and funds are limited.
04 May 2024 14:35:27
Palmer
Cucurella
Gallagher
Palmer/ Gusto
Caceido
Lavia/ Nkunku.
03 May 2024 09:54:40
Interesting that the manager is blamed for young players inconsistencies when it's a common characteristic along with concentration.
01 May 2024 20:51:36
The idea that Poch is jeopardising players by approaching training without any concern for already injured and Injury prone players is to be polite nonsense.
The club will be monitoring not only training but recovery and all medical aspects of players recovery given the unprecedented injuries this season.
The answer won't be one dimensional that much is certain.
To focus purely on the manager smacks of a major agenda.
