Good day Ed. Do Chelsea still retain interest in mohammed kudus? I was disappointed when he went. wanted him as Mount replacement.
I suspect another epl big club will soon swoop in on Jim.
{Ed002's Note - No.}

I'm not sure if you have reported any changes yet on osihmen but please is there any worthy update as per reports deal has been agreed with Chelsea for osihmen.
Please ignore if it's just the media teasing.
{Ed002's Note - It is as I have explained - it is largely in the hands of the player knowing that he won't be playing in the Champions league if he moves to Chelsea.}

Imo Chelsea should not sign young talents for the first team anymore. Any new player must be proven experienced players or we will be remembered as a one time European giants. History had it that forest once won ucl. It's silly to change what made great. The core of great Chelsea team has been quality proven experienced players but boely and Co ownership came in and forced out all who had mastered the art and brought in clueless staff to change things that will never work in this generation. Chelsea whose best player is a player who left a rival team for lack of opportunity, can never be at the top level.
I also think boely and Co are working to rip off the gains made by the roman era by buying young players so that they sell them when they improve for profits. The will make us like old arsenal where they sold their best players Henry vp, fab, etc and have their fans gnashing for lack of success.
I have always believed that politics should never interfere with sports. It has killed our beloved club in forcefully taking roman out of Chelsea. Match day fans must make things difficult for the club to follow the roman polices or we may never recover the roman forcefully removal for non football reasons. Chelsea have been hijacked.

If Bellingham if Fodan we wouldn’t be able to sign them because they are to young?
I would like us to sign the CH from Sporting Lisbon and he is young.
I would like us to sign leaders (whatever that really means) but I’m certainly not going to define that by age. I think JT was only about 22 when he became our captain/ leader.
2.) 24 Apr 2024 15:35:23
It’s ok to sign youngster but Bellingham and Foden are world class. We have Washington, Jackson, Madueke, Mudryk, Chukuuemeka and co who are all just potential.
As Tom stated Terry was 22 and also Lampard was young. You have to blend them in with experience and youth together not just signing loads of kids. The whole project is a joke.
I do think a good manager comes in and changes things though like Conte did after Mourinho and Tuchel after Lamps. Poch just ain’t it but it stems from the owners and Winstanley and Stewart first.
3.) 24 Apr 2024 17:25:55
There's a difference between age and experience in terms of minutes/ seasons played in top-flight competitions. Lampard had already made 148 PL appearances for West Ham when Chelsea signed him. Experience and age are different things.
On the other hand, our player of the season had only played a handful of top-flight games for City when we signed him, so perhaps there should be exceptions.
21 Apr 2024 11:07:11
I have seen many of us asking for Ivan toney for his epl experience but imo I would prefer Watkins instead. Especially if poch is still going to be here next season. I think Watkins is underrated.
1.) 21 Apr 2024 12:53:47
Watkins is a good player as is Toney. The club need to make the right choices in this for just a few positions depending on outgoings.
2.) 21 Apr 2024 17:46:33
That’s the problem right there the club don’t make the right ones.
3.) 21 Apr 2024 18:50:31
The club had Nkunku, Jackson and Broja to come back from injury.
We also signed midfielders and then ended up with three who stayed fit.
We have had so many defensive injuries it’s almost a conspiracy.
We also signed two keepers.
You might not be happy with the signings but used to them because the majority of them will be playing for Chelsea for many years.
4.) 21 Apr 2024 21:36:09
Tom, you have often made statements and suffix “ get used of it” - strange, I doubt whether the majority of the players will be at Chelsea for years to come, depending on the definition of “years to come “. Toney and Watkins are good but not top class, I certainly wouldn’t advocate paying big fees for them. Broja is injury prone and even when fit isn’t that good. If our defensive injuries are” almost conspiratorial “, who are the almost conspirators?
5.) 21 Apr 2024 22:19:51
Jimbo, let me more specific. I think Ugo, Petrovic, Gusto, Caicedo, Enzo, Lavia, Jackson, Nkunku, Noni, Chuka, Fofana, Santos, Disasi and of course Palmer will be at the club for a “football” long time. So “get used to it. ”
The term “conspiracy” was meant as a joke. Like there have been so many it must be deliberate. For the avoidance of doubt, I don’t believe for one minute it has been deliberate but I’m sure it will reviewed at the end of the season.
6.) 21 Apr 2024 23:01:28
Tom, I would say 5 perhaps 6 of those mentioned will be at the club for a football long time. I did realise your reference to conspiratorial was tongue in cheek, as was my response as a conspiracy is an agreement between two or more persons to commit an unlawful act. We are not the only club to lose key players to injuries but you are right there needs to be a comprehensive review at the end of the season. That said, some players are injury prone and we seem to have a high level of such players.
7.) 22 Apr 2024 06:01:47
My guess is we will have about the same percentage of “injury prone”players as other clubs. In fact I think a review of injuries within the whole premiership would be a good idea.
Will be interesting to see if you are correct and about 50% of our signings will be leaving our club over a “football term. ” I think a lot of the players not on that list will be leaving in the summer window. I posted the ten players I think will be leaving weeks ago.
8.) 22 Apr 2024 09:22:10
Tom, it is hard to envisage what would be a common factor regarding injuries across the Premier League. Pep would blame the amount of games and TV scheduling but that is not going to change. If a team is successful they will play more games; the broadcasters will have a big say in the scheduling of games due to the amount of money that is paid for TV rights. Compare the game now to the 70s and 80s when pitches were quagmires and sports science was a bucket of water and a sponge. However, as you said previously we need to review our high level of injuries this season.
9.) 22 Apr 2024 11:35:09
Noni, Jackson, dasasi Fofana (forward won’t be.
20 Apr 2024 19:34:09
The game vs city is another reason for managerial change, poch is not the right coach for us. City was there for our taking bpoch as usual bottled it with his substitution. He just doesn't have a winner mentality and its going to rub off negatively on the young players we have. city were obviously tired from the ucl extra time but poch failed to take advantage from his line up and substitution.
Imo poch should be replaced in the summer.
1.) 20 Apr 2024 20:11:58
Tusole, I can’t blame Poch for missed chances. His game plan and the teams effort was good.
2.) 20 Apr 2024 20:20:51
Don’t like him but can you tell me how it’s his fault Jackson missed 3 big chances today?
06 Apr 2024 11:06:19
Imo chukwuemeka should take over cg positions in the squad. We virtually are not creative in the attack with cg not offering creativity enough. When I hear the hype around cg, I wonder if he's not the same player I watch every week. Maybe someone will help with his outstanding qualities. Personally I think he only case around with little or no direction and tactics. If I remember he doesn't offer much no assists nor enough goals for atm.
Imo we should use his contract stand off to get n engrave and experienced effective atm. work rate without purpose and tactical awareness is not good enough. Doesn't still understand decision to make cg the stand in captain in the presence of ts, enzo etc. i know some come up with excuses to say it's ab attack on cg but it's my honest assessments.
1.) 06 Apr 2024 11:46:51
I would like Conor to stay as he can cover many positions, is a warrior and rarely gets injured. I do, however, agree with you about Carney, he has something special about him and I think he will prove to be another very clever piece of business by the recruitment team. A attacking 3 of Mudryk, Carney and Palmer behind Jackson would be good to see before the season finishes. I think Conor probably better suits a midfield 3 where he can play as an 8 and that might be the way forward when Lavia and/ or Ugo return.
2.) 06 Apr 2024 12:53:44
G8, the Lavia position is interesting. I’ve seen him play in two midfield positions and I’m not sure that the DM is his best role.
3.) 06 Apr 2024 13:51:13
Big fan of chuk. Gallagher can play a big role for us though, can effectively cover CDM, CM and CAM. I think best position is b2b mid.
4.) 06 Apr 2024 15:49:38
Horses for courses, teams that are more defensive I’d go Chucky, teams who will cause us more problems, Gallagher for his work rate of the ball, imo.
5.) 07 Apr 2024 21:15:23
Totally agree if he had been fit all year And Lavia then Gallagher wouldn’t play.
18 Mar 2024 07:24:47
Good day Ed. I want us to look at this point now that the feeling is neutral, we didn't lose to think it's just because we lost.
I'm talking about the manager reviews by the fans on here. Imo we need a change as pochetino is never the right one for the job at Chelsea. We are going backwards and Chelsea known for winning trophies are now the shadow of themselves. He simply doesn't have the winning mentality of Chelsea regardless of the style. He's played in a few finals but never won any with Chelsea. No steel in his team and often very soft for the taking.
So I would like your views about the manager going forward. Thanks.
{Ed002's Note - I think there is a reasonable chance he will be replaced in the summer.}
1.) 18 Mar 2024 13:01:27
Mistake made after mistake made unfortunately. I think a sensible option would be Mourinho, no one else available other than him would be an upgrade on pochetino.
I'd hate to see the numbers on how much money we've spent to sack managers under the boehly era. I'd wager it higher than atleast 1 premier league club.
2.) 18 Mar 2024 13:45:09
I’m not sure how much it cost to sack TT and he wasn’t appointed by our current owners or GP but Lamps was only temporarily employed anyway and Poch is still employed.
Of course you probably have extra cost that are part of most managers teams.
I personally wouldn’t have Jose back for a third time under any circumstances.
3.) 19 Mar 2024 06:39:29
I just look at our defence Tom and think how will this be fixed and the only answer to me is mourinho. A motivated, wiser, mourinho. Back for a third time and this time for a long time.
Who else is there?
4.) 19 Mar 2024 07:49:38
There were lots of people on this site telling me and everyone else that Poch is a perfect fit for our club and how he has a history of improving young players. I had a different view about his abilities but whoever we chose as a manager in my opinion would have needed time. I am prepared to give Poch time as I would have done any appointed manager, given our circumstances.
Putting aside Jose has never stayed anywhere for long and the league position he left us both times he got sacked, I think if we go down another new manager route we can do one hell of a lot better than him.
I wanted Naglesham rather than Poch when we were looking for a new manager and he is probably available and apparently we are strongly linked to the manager of Sporting Lisbon.
5.) 19 Mar 2024 08:24:03
I think we are a better side from last year. Yes we have had some terrible results and there are undoubtedly some players that need to move on but we have got to the league cup final and the FA Cup Semi. We are playing a lot better football now than under Potter and Frank.
I personally think the club will be making a mistake if they do not give Pochettino the opportunity to have one last transfer window and another year to prove what he can do.
6.) 19 Mar 2024 12:33:13
Whitey, I agree with your comparison in our team’s improved performances this year from last.
The problem in my opinion is an inherited expectation of continued success. Last season was a disaster and this season we are always one game away from a stream of negativity and media speculation.
You only have to look at this site to see how many posters go into hibernation when we get a good result or play well. We have far more individual posters when we lose than when we win.
For me, you support the team more through the bad times than in the good times. If that makes sense!
{Ed001's Note - that happens on every site Tom. There is a lot more traffic after a defeat.}
7.) 19 Mar 2024 13:31:29
Ed I find that really weird.
Mind you I guess we live a society that prefers to moan about everything and blame everyone else.
{Ed001's Note - people love a moan. Plus what can you say about a win? When it is a defeat you can pick apart the team set up, tactics, subs etc. When they win there is not a lot to do other than celebrate.}
8.) 19 Mar 2024 13:57:59
I guess it’s me thing, it’s just as important for me to come up with a reason as to why we played well as it is if we played badly!
25 Apr 2024 19:25:15
With these kind of player of interest my fear for next season being same as the current one heightens. I'm not sure tge club learnt anything and ready to turn things around. No team ever gathered kiddies together and went on to win things much this present generation.
. y point is that we already have enough kiddies and should try to bring in experience and proven players to compliment the kiddies. Don't know where we're going with this strange kiddies policy. They only want to groom kiddies to sell for profits. A team that lacks leadership on the pitch is still vigorously looking for untested kid to buy. Chelsea is derailing.
27 Mar 2024 13:35:09
Martin I don't get the hype around toney and Jackson only need time to settle down and I think he will perform when we have a formidable team not what poch is doing now. Toney is not even a big fish in a small pond yet you are raving about him. He's not Chelsea level much less one to improve us. So your fabricated skills of toney is a joke to me.
23 Mar 2024 21:19:44
LukakWho imo don't see Tony an improvement on Jackson. besides can't understand how exactly Tony is proven rpl striker what exactly has he proven?
22 Mar 2024 07:58:21
Don't really understand but both seem to correlate. his high demand could lead to his sale to raise money to meet up with the financial regulation. I really don't mind if he goes or not so long as we can get an upgrade but I can't trust boely on that though. Conor is only energetic but lacks te football sense and technicalities to play in such advanced roles.
17 Mar 2024 10:47:18
Just like we did last time, I think we should sign a reliable left back. Chilwell can't stay fit over a period and an experienced player could help with the position.
25 Apr 2024 07:27:38
Ed I will not push you to speculate the outcome of the possible decision on the manager but I think will July 1 not late for a prospective new manager to fully assess the squad for suitable new signings. My concern is that we should not repeat the same mistakes of rushing things as the selling clubs might perceive us being desperate and request for more money.
Again I really don't know who but who do you reckon we get if poch is moved on. I'm impressed with emery at villa.
{Ed002's Note - Emery will not be moving to Chelsea.}
25 Apr 2024 09:51:56
Tt was the first mistake of the new owners. Wouldn't mind his return but not sure how he will cope with the current crop of young players we have. Though certain players might benefit like mudryk and even Jackson if played from the wing.
25 Apr 2024 09:39:48
I love the idea of kane but Gyokeres is more likely. For epl experience, I prefer Watkins to toney. Like his clever ways. think he's underrated.
24 Apr 2024 13:37:26
That and many more of that will be steps in the right direction. Not buying young and unproven players for resale will kill the club. Board members with such skills should be brought in to bring the club back to the part we have been and going. American owners always try to exploit clubs and kill or slow clubs development to their advantage. United glaziers, Liverpool pre klop, Milan etc.
23 Apr 2024 16:58:48
BarnetNige81 any style of play that doesn't win games especially for trophies is not what Chelsea want. Poch doesn't fit winning profile of Chelsea. You look silly to lose the game after fantastic display, reason we mocked arsenal some years back. We have talented young players who are signed to long contracts. So they need to imbibe the Chelsea mentality which is winning but unfortunately poch negates that.
