Hi Ed,
Do we still hold any interest in Martinez?
{Ed002's Note - Search engine please.}
30 Jan 2014 16:57:39
Good Afternoon Ed02 and Ed18. do you think there will be a last day signing for us this window or a summer move agreed this window or would you think that we might be done now? Thank you.
{Ed002's Note - Chelsea would like to get Zouma and Imbula completed.}
1.) Are we likely to try and get Imbula today Ed? Not much time left and not seen anything about potential bids
{Ed002's Note - There was a discussion with Marseille on Wednesday. I don't expect it to happen.}
2.) 31 Jan 2014 16:38:25
{Ed002's Note - Kakuta was offered as a sweetner in a deal for Imbula on Wednesday but a deal could not be done. He is now off to Lazio.}

If given the choice of Hazard or Lamps in his prime, who would you have in your team, I would have Lamps anytime.
1.) 16 May 2019 20:13:27
Lamps easy, so consistent and you wouldn’t get a great all round midfielder like him who scores that many goals again either.
2.) 16 May 2019 21:01:33
Lamps without s doubt, 20 goals a season 10 assists regularly and never went missing, mr consistent and me chelsea.
3.) 16 May 2019 22:22:01
Lampard over anyone barring messi or ronaldo.
4.) 17 May 2019 10:52:53
Lampard might not have been as technically gifted but was far, far, far more influential. Lampard all day long.
24 Feb 2019 19:48:28
If JT was still captain he would have left the field quick enough.
10 Feb 2019 16:53:04
Watch us come out and win 5-4 now. Pep has fallen for Sarri's plan to make us look like Ipswich's reserve team for the 1st half so they underestimate us. The man's a genius.
1.) 10 Feb 2019 17:19:19
6-5 now Paul.
2.) 10 Feb 2019 17:38:34
7-6 is a bit hard to imagine Paul but we live to fight another day!
3.) 10 Feb 2019 17:39:41
7-6 - come on - heads up - let's win the last 10 minutes.
4.) 10 Feb 2019 17:46:53
I could have been slightly wrong with that post. My glass WAS half full earlier but City knocked it over and pissed on it. I did write another one saying we will be 6th after this game. Should have stuck with that one hey.
{Ed025's Note - they dont even look arsed paul..
10 Feb 2019 16:23:48
Looks like City are using us soft lads to enhance their goal difference for their title challenge. Really can't wait for a summer overhaul. I dread facing Spurs or Man utd now.
30 Jan 2019 21:56:21
Ed, please tell us that we are replacing 7 of our starting line up tonight by the end of this transfer window. Kepa, Rudiger, Kante and Higuain are the only ones I'd keep for next season. Brutal but needed.
{Ed018's Note - I can all but guarantee that won’t happen. But maybe it’s time to get CHO, RLC, and Christensen some more starts}
1.) 30 Jan 2019 22:02:12
CHO and RLC need a chance. Sarri needs to stop being stubborn. If he doesn't then these players will cost him his job.
2.) 30 Jan 2019 22:04:16
100% ed18. It’s for all us to see that Sarri football isn’t working. Certain players are not playing well. Certain players have the potential. I think he only knows his way, which isn’t good for our team.
3.) 30 Jan 2019 22:07:40
sarri is a stuborn man i doubt any of them 3 will start more games unfortunetly.
4.) 30 Jan 2019 22:12:45
RLC, ChO, Christensen, Emerson deserve a proper run in the side. Pedro and Willian have to leave it’s a joke that they still get picked over CHO. No other side I mean no other side would have them over CHO.
5.) 30 Jan 2019 22:15:47
Stubbornball has cost us dear last few weeks
Ed is there discontent in the camp no one looks happy must admit been like that for years no one looks happy playing for us it seems a chore.
{Ed018's Note - I have no idea.}
6.) 30 Jan 2019 22:20:20
The same posters/ fans who will now slaughter Sarri are, in some cases the same one who were raving about him and begging the club to appoint him.
The same posters who have raved about certain players and given pelters to others will at some stage look at the whole group and see the problems run much deeper than the likes of Willian, Alonso, Morata and Jorginho!
I want us to win every game but I’m aware that changing a manager because players are not performing will NOT always cure the fundamental problem.
The Sarri quotes over the next day or so will be interesting but I just hope that the club supports the manager (I’m not a fan) and cuts out the cancer.
7.) 30 Jan 2019 22:24:43
Ok mate thanks anyway.
8.) 30 Jan 2019 22:38:31
Who's the cancer in your opinion tom.
9.) 30 Jan 2019 22:45:09
Not really Jorginho is the problem replace him with Kante and attack he Sarri doesn’t no what to do simple as.
10.) 30 Jan 2019 23:16:17
Nibby, even if he did what you ask and I’m sure he won’t, it won’t magically make the ball move quicker.
It won’t make midfielders move beyond the forward line. Frank Lampard are hard to find.
It won’t stop all of our so called wide players all wanting to come inside.
It won’t suddenly give us players who can cross a ball.
The problems are bigger than a single player!
11.) 30 Jan 2019 23:23:29
Gianfranco, we have now had our last three managers all making critical comments about the the teams motivation.
The club chose to sack two and my guess is Sarri will end up being given the Spanish archer as well.
At some stage the club has to set out what it wants, pick a manager who can fulfill their requirements and stick with him. If any player wants to rock the boat in anyway, just show them the door.
12.) 30 Jan 2019 23:35:43
It absolutely pains me to say this and may take some stick for it but I think from the team perspective (hazard) could be the cancer, he is so exciting to watch at times and has carried the whole team at others,
I do also think he has been the cause of a few issues at the club, I remember in Mourinho’s second spell he was one of the first to down tools and he did the same with Conte. This issue with not committing to a decision about staying or leaving is becoming farcical and tedious.!
Willian I believe is another contributor. Yes he’s brilliant now and then but he’s form is never consistent and when he’s in bad form he has a bad attitude and drops he’s bottom lip! Like tonight when somebody muscled him off the ball, he just gave up trying and whined to the ref for a free kick? It actually annoyed me that the ref fell for it! it sets bad examples for the younger lot!
Over the years we have lost vital players and people in the dressing room that cannot be replaced! Terry, Lampard, Drogba, Ballack, Cech! You can’t get players like that anymore so what do you do? They were just as important in the dressing room as they were on the pitch! All leaders in their own right.
13.) 30 Jan 2019 23:39:20
I agree, Nibby - I think the simple change of playing Kante in his right position and dropping Jorginho would see a massive improvement in our game especially in the pace of our game. Will Sarri do it? Like hell he will!
14.) 30 Jan 2019 23:52:15
how can 40k + more people be wrong.
15.) 30 Jan 2019 23:58:11
Sarri changing a striker for striker when we’re losing. hmmm he must be a good tactician.
16.) 31 Jan 2019 00:21:41
I do agree TruBlu The Sarri substitutions are boring!
17.) 31 Jan 2019 08:05:29
Situation88: Good post and I think you summed up what many are starting to think regarding Hazard. He has a lot of talent but he also has failings in equal measure and all his managers have highlighted them and to say "I don't care what 'x or y' say" is a failing I am afraid. We are desperate for a strong leader on the pitch never more evident last night when a Terry would have reorganised the defence after the first goal; we have too many drifting out of position.
GRANT?? I think we need God to help us at the moment!

If they do, sell them.

Let's hope so Ed.
{Ed0333's Note - you will mate. You’ll be happy come January 31st.
Spot on Canton. Spot on.
