For those interested there is a nice run down of potential Chelsea targets Ed02 has give on the Real Madrid page.

Thanks for that.
I am surprised we have interest in so many players given the alleged financial situation.
Presumably the club must be confident of selling quite a few players this summer.

I think I listed ten players that I think will be leaving the club in the summer.

A treasure trove of info - thanks for highlighting, Tom.

The three things that really caught my eye there were the notes on Tchouaméni, Onana and Cucurella.

Glad that were showing interest in world class players such as Alphonso Davies and Vinicius Jr albeit neither would probs be interested in coming to us.

whitey, that’s one of the consequences of another season without CL football. It sometimes can be overcome by having a charismatic top class coach but we don’t have that either.

Let me know when you find an available and “charismatic” coach who will make a difference to our signing of any players.

Tom, I didn’t suggest there is a one! I suggested it as an alternative to CL football to attract top class players and that we don’t have a charismatic top class coach.

Not for the first time I’m confused. Us not being in the Champs League will apparently stop players joining us, so to compensate for a lack of signings we employ a “charismatic” manager who will attract players?

Tom, it was a simple point, if a club is not in the CL it is more difficult to attract top class players particularly if they are used of doing so. Sometimes players might be attracted to a club by a top coach who has a record of achievements . We have neither going for us at present. You may not agree with my opinion but I don’t understand why you are confused.

I wasn’t looking for agreement, I was seeking clarification hence the question mark.

{Ed002's Note - I was a huge fan of Question Markt and The Mysterions.}

I got so drunk in Prague once apparently on some strange cocktails that for a long while I thought I was a mysteron! I suppose it explains a lot about my latter life as an Elf.
