Hi Ed,
Is Mamardashvili of Valencia a realistic transfer target for Chelsea this summer?
{Ed002's Note - Giorgi Mamardashvili (G) Agent offering him around the Premier League but nobody will pay his release clause. Leicester and Spurs are keen at a far lower price. Inter want him to replace Onana whislt Manchester United and Chelsea may provide wildcard options but he is locked in with a huge release clause and is not first choice for either.}
1.) 03 Jul 2023 11:01:17
What is the release clause if you dobt mind me asking ed?
{Ed002's Note - It is of no consequence to you.}
2.) 03 Jul 2023 12:51:45
No it isn’t but I’m asking out of curiosity, but ok, whatever.
{Ed002's Note - So it is of no consequence.}
3.) 03 Jul 2023 21:59:19
Wouldn't want to pay for his name on the shirt.
17 Jun 2023 12:03:47
Any chance of Lautaro Martinez joining Chelsea ed?
{Ed002's Note - He is one of a number of stikers Chelsea have a declared interest in.}
26 Jul 2022 19:07:37
Any interest from Chelsea in Olise ED? Cheers, have a good evening.
{Ed002's Note - He wanted to return to play with his brother when he left Reading butChelsea were not interested at the time.}
01 Jun 2022 09:01:10
Plenty of reports that we’re interested in Darwin Nunez. I know you said not to hold our breaths about this one in April but was just wondering if maybe something’s changed meanwhile?
{Ed002's Note - Nothing has changed.}
26 May 2022 08:17:19
Ed, how are you doing? Can I ask you about the situation surrounding Declan Rice - are Chelsea interested and would West Ham sell? Thanks and have a good day!
{Ed002's Note - Chelsea are not looking to buy Rice.}
1.) 26 May 2022 11:21:52
Thanks Ed. Good to know that.
2.) 26 May 2022 20:11:11
Hello Ed, who are the DM targets then?
{Ed002's Note - Nothing has changed.}

Looking back at it, selling Fikayo Tomori was one of the worst decisions in recent years, especially with the shortage we have for next season at centre back.
1.) 23 May 2022 09:20:02
Guehi and Tomori were pretty big errors looking back. Is it true we have a buy back option on either/ both of them?
2.) 23 May 2022 09:24:54
I think we do have something with Guehi but nothing with Tomori sadly.
3.) 23 May 2022 10:23:08
So was letting go of Livramento.
I think we have some kind of option for both. But it will kick in in 2023.
4.) 23 May 2022 09:07:22
To me, it was always puzzling why we didn't use Tomori more. Not the best take in hindsight, but to me, he was performing much better than the likes of Rudiger and AC, but somehow got droppen halfway through the season. Of course I know nothing about how he performed in training etc., but to me, he was much better than many of our players, and to me it seemed like he and Frank had an issue.
The talent was always there, and it's lovely to see him flourish now. One can only hope that we might get to see him back in blue at the Bridge in the future.
Ed02 do we have any sort or buy back-option, or something like that? I am unsure of the terminology to use, but hopefully you understand what I'm asking (and no, I am not asking the color of Queen Magrethe II of Denmark's underwear, should you think so - but maybe you even have the answer to that? If so, feel free to answer that as well! )
{Ed002's Note - No Chelsea do not have a "bay back" option.}
5.) 23 May 2022 12:35:44
So Lamptey as well.
6.) 23 May 2022 19:22:03
AFAIK Lamptey would have left on a free as didn’t want to sign a new contract. Livramento turned down a contract offer and wanted to go. Guehi chose to test himself and has thrived, I assume at that stage it was felt that Christensen and Rudiger would sign new deals. Out of all the players, Tomori going hurts the most for me. Having a transfer clause built into his loan deal scuppered any chance o fhim playing under Tuchel (I’d like to have seen that tbh) . One can only assume Tomori and Lampard fell out. ??♂️.
7.) 24 May 2022 06:36:38
Although at that moment when Chelsea let Lamptey leave Lampard didn't plan using wing-backs.
{Ed002's Note - Lamptey wanted to leave.}
06 Aug 2021 15:21:15
DiarioAS reporting Chelsea are trying to sign Messi, any truth Ed? Thanks.
{Ed002's Note - Jolly good.}
1.) 06 Aug 2021 17:21:55
He is teasing you. Chelsea will not pay 60m£ on salary for just one player.
2.) 06 Aug 2021 17:49:11
He’s not just one player.
3.) 06 Aug 2021 17:56:29
Certainly not Nib.
4.) 06 Aug 2021 19:30:38
No way Messi will come to the Premier League: he hasn’t got the bottle: Wednesday night in November at Burnley!
20 Jul 2020 13:04:59
Hi ED002 and the Chelsea gang, hope you're all well after that glorious win yesterday. Was just wondering, is there any truth that Kai Havertz has agreed personal terms to join Chelsea?
Thanks!
{Ed002's Note - Read the posts.}
03 Jul 2020 06:50:59
Hi guys
This is the lineup that I expect from us next season
Onana/ Kepa
James-Rice-Christensen-Chilwell
Kante
Havertz-Mount/ Kovacic
Zyiech. Werner
Tammy.
1.) 03 Jul 2020 10:25:52
Not the one I think but the one I want.
Rajkovic
James Zouma Rice Tagliafico
Kovacic Kante Havertz
Ziyech Werner Pulisic
If we need more physicality can move Rice into DM and being another CB in.
2.) 03 Jul 2020 10:26:40
I can't see it happen personally, but i think the signings you mention would probably be Lampard's ideal.
3.) 03 Jul 2020 10:48:04
Onana
James, Rice, Tomori, Chilwell
Kante, Mount/ Kovacic
Ziyech, Havertz, Pulisic
Werner.
4.) 03 Jul 2020 11:51:43
I really don't understand posters choosing Onana - he would be an expensive, huge risk coming into the Prem (see Kepa! ) . Surely we have to go for a GK with proven Prem experience.
5.) 03 Jul 2020 12:22:45
MDW I think Nick Pope is another on the shortlist.
6.) 03 Jul 2020 13:00:12
For me it's difficult to see someone coming in to replace Kepa this summer, I can see them giving him another 6 months. That said if we were to replace him I'd like to see a Premier League keeper come in like a Henderson or Schmeichel but I can see us struggling to get a rivals keeper in for the right price. Who knows if we improve the defense maybe we might see an improvement in Kepa?
For the start of next season.
Kepa
James - Upamecano - Tomori - Alaba
Havertz - Kante - Mount
Ziyech - Werner - Pulisic
Think we have definitely got the strength in depth as well, the backup 11 could rival most teams!
Willy
Dave - Zouma - Rudiger - Emerson
Kovacic - Gilmour - Barkley
HDO - Tammy - Willian?
Depends who we bring in and ship out but we also have Alonso, Jorginho, Bats, Christensen, Ampadu and a host of talented youngsters in and around the squad.
Should be an interesting summer. More importantly let's see if we can bring home the cup and secure a top four finish!
7.) 03 Jul 2020 19:36:39
Please leave James out of any line up until he proves himself. I would rather start Azpilicueta.
04 Aug 2018 14:14:12
Would you guys take Ramsey? It seems like we might be getting him instead of Vecino. I think it might be a good piece of business, 35m as he is in his last year of contract, he can get goals and create and he is homegrown. More than good enough for rotation.
1.) 04 Aug 2018 15:29:47
Apart from a few worries I have about his injury record I would take him without a doubt. He's a goal scoring midfielder with lots of energy and homegrown.
2.) 04 Aug 2018 17:20:58
We need a Lampard type of player who scores from midfield, for £35m we would get someone who creates but is not going to get you 15 to 20 goals a season.
3.) 04 Aug 2018 17:35:53
To be fair not too many midfielders hie Lamps figures not then and not now.
4.) 04 Aug 2018 18:03:44
One could say Ramsey got injured quite a lot in Arsenal but if you take a close look, you will find out that quite a number of players got injured a lot at Arsenal over the years but when they moved to other clubs things kinda changed- don't know why that is.
On Vecino, I like him cos he's very strong with good box to box runs. Whether it's Ramsey or Vecino, either will bring something extra to our game. Although like you guys said, Ramsey's goals from midfield is something extra coupled with the fact that he's Uk citizen.
03 Jul 2023 12:51:45
No it isn’t but I’m asking out of curiosity, but ok, whatever.
{Ed002's Note - So it is of no consequence.}
03 Jul 2023 11:01:17
What is the release clause if you dobt mind me asking ed?
{Ed002's Note - It is of no consequence to you.}
28 Jul 2022 13:31:54
Ed please, do it - you know we all appreciate you and your info and you can see that. Yes there were some id*ots in the past but recently this page has behaved well and you can see it. I understand if you don’t post the list but you know we love you.
{Ed002's Note - It is not just the idiots who abuse me but every player mentioned is subject to abuse, like all of the existing squad and past players on these pages.}
06 Jul 2022 09:57:57
He's exactly the type of player we need in my opinion, moreso than Sterling.
03 Jun 2022 08:02:26
What’s your take on this ed? You said some time ago that our chances of signing Dembele are very slim. Has it changed?
{Ed002's Note - The "done deal" obviously passed me by.}
23 May 2022 09:24:54
I think we do have something with Guehi but nothing with Tomori sadly.
02 Aug 2021 15:20:31
I'm baffled as to why we're not looking at Lautaro Martinez, really. He reminds me of Alexis Sanchez a lot.
02 Aug 2021 12:28:46
Ings and world class don't go together mate. It's another Drinkwater-type signing.
18 Jun 2020 15:06:01
And now he liked a tweet on Chelsea twitter saying "Announce Havertz" 😂.
02 Jan 2016 23:24:21
Just not arsenal.
