Cole Palmer could be a target . apparently 35mill rejected.
Great player super left foot and very unlucky not to start for City.
1.) 30 Aug 2023 13:58:30
Agree wheely would be a great signing goes past people for fun. Still think we require a forward.
2.) 30 Aug 2023 15:49:23
Don't really understand Chelsea transfers. Kudus was ready but we never looked his way. But want to spend almost 50 million on palmer who's not ready to play for a big team yet. imo Kudus would have been a better fit for Chelsea at the moment.
We should try to get experienced players now enough of the obsession for younger players. We already have plenty to serve for years but need a blend of experience and youth talent. Lack of tactics will make imus look stupid in the short term. Palmer is a good player but not what we need now.

Left sided. Not looking good for mudryk.
4.) 30 Aug 2023 19:19:39
Whenever Iv seen him he’s played on the right, cutting in with his left.
5.) 30 Aug 2023 20:17:15
Maybe but I’m sure he’s played on the left for city.
6.) 30 Aug 2023 21:41:15
Pretty sure he plays on the right mostly. Was expecting more game time when mahrez left, then with doku signing he wants out.
7.) 30 Aug 2023 21:52:20
He plays RW / AM loves to cut in. I don't get everyones concerns
To be an competitive team you need two players in each position.
RW - NONI / PALMER
LW - STERLING / MUDRYK
AM - CARNEY / NKUNKU
Plus with our injuries issues it's only a plus.
I think he has been so unlucky under Pep. he's been quality every game I have seen him .
8.) 30 Aug 2023 22:39:50
The lad looks class and I’m astonished that City would be prepared to let him leave.
He and Noni on occasions have played well enough together for England.
He is class and can play in more than one position.
9.) 31 Aug 2023 09:13:26
I think a note of caution needed on Cole Palmer as with many young promising players. He did look v good and scored in UEFA super Cup and Community Shield but those are the only two times I've really noticed him. In Ed001's recent post when asked to comment on CP said he can be wasteful.
My son (who probably looks these things up on line) tells me CP has only scored a total of 4 goals in 36 appearances for City in all competitions, though often as sub. So he must rank as something of a gamble and quite an expensive one. Plus a tad worrying that City didn't try too hard to keep him, though that could be countered by fact that they put high price tag on him (but who doesn't do that when they see CFC coming? ) .
Yet if he's coming we will all get behind the lad and trust that Poch can develop him into something special. He certainly showed glimpses of that potential in those two recent games he scored in, and one was at Wembley and the other the UEFA super cup. Here's hoping. We really do need more goal threat up front.
10.) 31 Aug 2023 19:18:35
JBS, I’m not making any judgments on Palmer as a player but it is a bit of a strange move. I understand paying circa £15 million for young players for the future but if you are paying £40 million you would be expect something close to the finished article who will get plenty of game time. I would have preferred to look for a player with goals in him. Also, adding another inexperienced player is a risk. City have brought in Kova and the Wolves midfielder who have both got plenty of games between them.
11.) 02 Sep 2023 11:32:49
Like a lot of players last season Kovacic had a stinker.
He is a player that can break the lines but his product wasn’t brilliant and his goals to game ratio for a midfielder was frankly appalling.
Nunez could be a good addition to the City squad.

Ed002 - Has Chelsea put Hall up for sale? or even considering him being sold?
was my understanding he signed a. new deal and was going on loan.
{Ed002's Note - Two clubs have pushed Chelsea over Hallwith one wanting to include hi as part of a complex negotiation for someone else.}
1.) 17 Aug 2023 11:12:14
That Olise Ed?
{Ed002's Note - Not Olise.}
2.) 17 Aug 2023 12:23:58
Hi Ed002, in your opinion is the sale of Hall a reaction to this summer's spend at all? Or was there always a likelihood he may move on?
It's of course frustrating as a fan to see a young talent move on, but from an asset perspective he would surely be worth more to CFC in the next two or three seasons with regular first team football?
{Ed002's Note - No, there has been interest in a number of the younger players like Hall, Maatsen, Webster, Humphreys, Burstow etc. and the players know competion is tough and some want first team football sooner than they would get it at Chelsea, some are happy with loans, and others will stay.}
14 Aug 2023 10:53:46
ed002 - with news coming out Liverpool have made a £60 mill for Lavia - do you think Chelsea will up our £52 + 3mill add ons bid.
Thank you.
{Ed002's Note - I really have no interest in blow-by-blow updates. I have explained the situation for weeks.}
1.) 14 Aug 2023 11:39:55
Thanks for the reply.
Let's hope we do get him.
10 Aug 2023 11:54:57
"apparently " Liverpool has made a bid / contact for Caicedo.
What is going on haha.
1.) 10 Aug 2023 12:25:31
Wheely I've just asked Ed002 on Banter page if he might shed light on these reports. Perhaps should have done so on this one but there had been fair bit of talk about our midfield targets there and Ed002 saying we woild like 2 incomings if possible.
2.) 10 Aug 2023 12:36:45
just read it!
Hopefully Ed can shed some light on this later - ?.
{Ed002's Note - RTP.}
3.) 10 Aug 2023 12:52:46
Ed002 has posted helpful reply on Banter page.
4.) 10 Aug 2023 13:35:49
I think we need him more than any other midfield option.
{Ed002's Note - There has been no offer from Liverpool (at least as far as Chelsea know).}
5.) 10 Aug 2023 13:37:14
Honestly Chelsea have been messing around for long with caicedo and should only blame themselves if we lose out on him. You either pay what Brighton demands or move on but they just been running around jinxed.
Been close to their valuation but can't just go all the way to complete it for a player that's ideal for the squad we have.
Imo they will eventually pay up but the reason they allowed it to drag on is what I don't know.
Thoughts.
6.) 10 Aug 2023 15:15:00
It’s called a negotiation. The clue is in the name.
{Ed002's Note - There has been no bid from Liverpool.}
7.) 10 Aug 2023 16:16:27
Do you think Chelsea will match the asking price for caciedo if they buy lavia?
{Ed002's Note - See previous answers.}
02 Aug 2023 05:53:27
Good morning Ed002,
What is the latest on Hall - from. a club perspective? Loan or does the club highly rate him?
He didn't get much playing time in the summer series, for me he was on our better performers last season.
I think he's a great player - raw but a high ceiling level.
{Ed002's Note - Lewis Hall (LWB/LW) Burnley enquired after Hall as an option to Maatsen. Newcastle have made two separate approaches to be told he won't be sold. A loan is likely but a decision will be delayed until pre-season is over.
1.) 02 Aug 2023 08:43:16
Thank you for the swift reply.
Glad we don't want to sell him! Great player.
2.) 02 Aug 2023 08:47:34
Delighted!
3.) 02 Aug 2023 09:15:07
I wonder if the likes of Burnley and Newcastle have shown any interest in MC?
4.) 02 Aug 2023 10:01:54
Yeah out of all our LB options id rather us sell him Tom. Newcastle may be interested but we will probably want a fair bit back. May put them off.
5.) 02 Aug 2023 18:06:21
I do believe Ed had said Newcastle were potentially interested in Cucu, possibly Spuds but can’t recall properly.
6.) 03 Aug 2023 08:04:13
Hall and MC both appear to behind Chilly, and possibly Maatsen in what they offer on the left side. Maatsen has proved his versatility to cover many positions therefore he is a must keep in a smaller squad. Hall, on loan and MC gone represent good businesss!

Santos off to Forest - Good loan in my opinion. Be good for him to get prem experience and hopefully "regular" football.
1.) 25 Aug 2023 10:19:15
Wheely, I agree, a good loan with a club that had the best supporters at the bridge last season in my opinion.
He will have to work hard to earn his place in any starting eleven.
22 Aug 2023 07:26:39
Morning ed002,
if mentioned before. as we are shopping in America - do you Chelsea an interest in Thiago Almada?
Seems to be a very good.
{Ed002's Note - No.}
14 Aug 2023 21:14:11
Does anyone know if Lewis Hall. has signed or going to a new deal?
1.) 14 Aug 2023 21:37:43
Wheely. I seem to remember quotes of a new contract on offer but I can’t recall any confirmation in that regard.
The latest rumour I saw was a loan to Newcastle as beings on the cards but earlier this morning Newcastle were supposedly interested in a loan deal for MC.
2.) 15 Aug 2023 05:30:47
I thought he had a signed a new deal and expected to go on loan to Palace.
He's a player we should value highly, super talented.
Rather see Cucurella leave to allow a pathway for him.
3.) 15 Aug 2023 05:59:05
Wheely, you are correct with the reports surrounding a loan to Palace and a new contract. I just don’t remember that plan being confirmed.
The Newcastle rumour was something I noticed yesterday afternoon after the same outlets were saying that they wanted MC on loan.
4.) 15 Aug 2023 07:34:21
Probably old circulated news hopefully re Newcastle.
Let's hope he has signed and it will be announced when / if he does go on loan.
5.) 15 Aug 2023 07:57:38
Wheely, like you I think he is a quality talent with a bright future ahead of him. A good loan and a contract extension would be perfect.
6.) 15 Aug 2023 08:50:48
I agree.
7.) 15 Aug 2023 10:37:16
Yes I agree too I. like Hall's tenacious energy and he is a good crosser of the ball. Still needs to work a bit on. positonal sense perhaps.
8.) 15 Aug 2023 14:58:39
Tbh I’d allow Cucu to go to Newcastle on loan provided there was an obligation to buy for a decent figure.
10 Aug 2023 10:59:34
Ed002 - Good morning,
Hope you're well!
I know we have interest in all but are Chelsea looking to sign all three (Caicedo, Lavia and Adams) . If so that's great news.
Have a good day!
All your reply are well appreciated.
{Ed002's Note - No, two ideally.}
1.) 10 Aug 2023 11:05:37
Very shift reply. Thank you!
Hopefully Caicedo and Lavia.
2.) 10 Aug 2023 12:15:33
Thanks ed.
04 Aug 2023 22:06:31
Talks of us signing another Brazilian youngster Deivid Washington 2005 born striker.
1.) 05 Aug 2023 06:15:46
Wheely, apparently we have also made approach for the lad at Palace.
He is a player that impressed me last season.
2.) 05 Aug 2023 08:32:46
Yeah, heard that too. Need to see how bad his injury is. but the fee rumoured seems a bargain.
3.) 05 Aug 2023 09:56:51
I take your point wheely but I’m more interested and excited about us signing a good player.
30 Aug 2023 21:52:20
He plays RW / AM loves to cut in. I don't get everyones concerns
To be an competitive team you need two players in each position.

I think he has been so unlucky under Pep. he's been quality every game I have seen him .
24 Aug 2023 18:05:24
I'd love for us to go for Eze, but not sure if we hold an interest in him.
14 Aug 2023 11:39:55
Thanks for the reply.
Let's hope we do get him.
10 Aug 2023 12:36:45

Kepa has been available for years. I assume his wages have been a hug put off.
02 Sep 2023 20:12:53
dan23-tbat was child's reaction.
That was of anything Poch formation and tactics that lost us that.
25 Aug 2023 22:58:11
To be fair on Mudryk he hasn't been given a fair chance or run of games.
25 Aug 2023 22:54:10
it's definitely 4231
Colwill was LB and Chiwell was LW
Jackson work ethic u real going to be great player
Sterling looks a different player - glad he's got the love of football again
Enzo just class
Caicedo has a good game
Sanchez- still not 100% on him however I am happy he comes out for crosses.
25 Aug 2023 15:59:01
100% ed001 . Nice read.
{Ed001's Note - thank you Wheely. I was on my soapbox there!}
25 Aug 2023 10:08:05
100% agree.
We are building for a the future. along as we have a good campaign and get into Europe that's a good season.
We are way behind City and even Arsenal.
