Hi Ed, I bet you can't wait for the transfer window to be shut ?. I offer my first born for a quick update on the striker situation, do you still see Oshimen as likely, be it loan or permanent? And if not Oshimen do you see us going for another striker before the deadline?
Love you work and hope you've got a stiff drink lined up once the window has shut!
{Ed002's Note - Chelsea would like to finalie a deal for Osimhen - so it is possible. Chelsea has other options if they decide they want to add a striker if they cannot sign him. The club want it resolved this week.}

Osimhen would be a huge statement.

Thank you very much Ed! Hopefully, I genuinely think Oshimen takes us to the next level and would really finish another chaotic window with a bang. As alaays appreciate the time you put into these sites.

Hi Ed, just wondering if Evan Ferguson is still under consideration by Chelsea if Osimhen doesn’t work out? Being Irish myself it would be nice to see a countryman in the Chelsea team again. It’s been a long time since Damien Duff left!
{Ed002's Note - I would not hold your breath.}

Conor Gallagher has an Irish passport. Conor Gallagher and Jude Bellingham have both used their Irish passports so as to not take the non-EU spot in their respective teams.

They also qualify for EU full medical cover.
The amount of people I now know with two passports is bonkers but in some cases understandable.

Tom, I also hold an Irish passport both my late parents were from Ireland. If one of your parents were born in Ireland before 2005, you are automatically an Irish citizen with or without a passport. Otherwise, you can obtain a passport if one of your grandparents were born in Ireland but first you have to apply to be included on the register of foreign births. When Jack Charlton was manager of ROI the rules changed, if you were sitting in a pub in Kilburn High Road drinking a pint of Guinness you qualified to play for Ireland.

Jimbo, I can now add you to my list of dual passport holders. My sons and daughter all have two passports but it’s something I have never bothered with. I think I might be entitled to Italian and Irish but I think there is a limit.

Ok thanks Ed.
Celery I’m aware of Gallagher and Bellinghams Irish roots it’s just a shame neither decided to represent us! With those two, Rice, Kane and Grealish we could’ve had some team!
Anyway things have gotten so bad for our national team I think I might be in line for a call up soon.
