Ed002, are Chelsea still interested in signing zarchayan, the Ukraine midfielder. please ignore the spelling. thanks.
{Ed002's Note - Arsen Zakharyan is Russian and yes there remains interest but he won't be signing this summer and I suspect could head elsewhere.}
1.) 25 May 2023 12:13:48
Could his nationality be the reason we may not go through? Thought he's due for a change of nationality to any neighbouring country to get the move.
Don't know but the lad looks like kdb and we must try to get him.
09 Nov 2022 15:24:27
ED002 do Chelsea have interest in Martin Terrier? thank you.
{Ed002's Note - They are one of many clubs to have looked at him.}
1.) 10 Nov 2022 08:51:59
thank you.
15 Jul 2022 09:21:47
Good day Ed02, thanks for the immeasurable warmth you have been showing to us here. please I'd like to know if Chelsea considers sergio Gomez of anderlecht.
{Ed002's Note - No.}
03 Jul 2022 13:13:19
Ed02, thanks for your vital inputs, you are the reason we continually enjoy transfer periods.
please I'd like to ask if serge gnarby is of interest to Chelsea. Though, seems he has grown frustrated at bayern and not ready to extend his contract. Thanks for your love and perseverance.
{Ed002's Note - Serge Gnabry (RW/LW) Seems to fail to settle at any club and is not open to signing a new contract without a significant increase in salary, and it is his very significant financial demands that are proving to be a problem over a new contract. Barcelona have him on their list of options, but they are going to have to balance summer transfers carefully and his wage demands will be an issue, so they can be discounted. The wages are less of a problem for Juventus where tax laws are beneficial but they have preferred options. Real Madrid consider him an option to Mbappe as they look to shake up their wingers, but there are others ahead of him on their list, but the player wants to move to Madrid. Versatile enough to be considered a Martial replacement at Manchester United and on the list for Liverpool as a potential Salah replacement - but neither would want to break the bank for him and not being in the CL will end any vague interest Manchester United have. Manchester City have a much preferred option to replace Sterling, but he may not be attainable. Has been offered to Chelsea and PSG by his agent, but both see the wage demands as far too high. Although interested, a return to Arsenal does not make sense for the player and with no Champions League, and huge costs it seems less likely.}
1.) 03 Jul 2022 14:08:32
Real Madrid have other players ahead of Gnarby on their list? I would like to know who is on the Real Madrid list as they might be the players whom we want/ need?
2.) 03 Jul 2022 15:20:58
Fairly sure Ed002 mentioned Antony and Mané.
04 Nov 2021 14:07:50
Ed 2 thanks for your input here, please I'd like to ask which other striker cfc are interested in, you mentioned haaland, reports suggested that tuche is requesting a striker signing in the new year! thanks for your swift response.
{Ed002's Note - They are looking at several but there is nothing firm.}
1.) 04 Nov 2021 21:04:29
thanks ed.

oscarAY has written an article entitled, Chelsea FC Need To Sign An Experienced Striker
1.) 15 Apr 2025 18:13:08
Oscar, I enjoyed reading your comments.
I’m not a fan of delap and I mentioned in a post several moths ago that we might surprise fans and pundits by signing a so called more experienced striker.
The only potential gain I can currently see for the owners/ shareholders is if the club is successful and there asset becomes more valuable.
The potential list of so called top strikers doesn’t appear to be that long. Historically my first choice was Osimhen but I think if that ship has sailed. My second choice would have been Isak and that is despite him having some supposed injury issues but I cannot see Newcastle selling him to us. My third choice is Sesko and I hope the most likely. My joint 4th and 5th choice would be Delap and Cunha.
2.) 15 Apr 2025 20:39:17
My first choice would obviously be Kane, but realistically, I think osimhen is possible. Failing that maybe Gyokores? I don't know much about delap but agree we need to start signing player who actually improve the squad now.
3.) 16 Apr 2025 06:19:27
Quite like Delap, but the team does need more experience if we could get him for non riduculous money Watkins at Villa might be worth a punt.
4.) 16 Apr 2025 10:35:26
Seymns, Watkins might well be worth a punt but he always seems to miss a lot of chances to me. I guess the CF from Dortmund will be on lots of clubs radar after last nights performance. He is 30 next year and might only cost about €20m.
15 Apr 2025 12:03:17
It has been awhile here, I have always enjoys insightful comments and well articulated banter that characterise this lovely page.
I believe inexperience played a huge role in EM'S comment by Environment. As TomB rightly said, he was trying to gather fan support but I seems to be going haywire,
1.) 15 Apr 2025 19:53:05
Welcome back Oscar! Hope you've been well.
22 Aug 2023 08:59:48
I would say injuries are core part of the game, but our immediate injury record is a concern. It made it looks like we have a mediocre medical team which I am sure it is not the case. So disappointed to loose chuka as well, I am always concerned whenever my team bid for players with serious past injuries, but business people don't always think that way I presume. I wouldn't have bought Wesley, pulisic, Chilwell, however that is my personal opinion, because I believe you'd face enormous problem if you build around players that are fast to the surgical table.
A quick look at our team, I believe we will fair better this term. The only concerns are with Wesley, James, Chilwell, Nkunku and maybe Broja. They are all exceptional players but we need to reduce our dependence on those players in order to achieve togetherness.
1.) 23 Aug 2023 22:44:32
We have been plagued by injuries in recent years more so than any other club. Unfortunately our injuries seem to be long ones and to the most crucial players in the squad. Like this season the first two players on the team sheet would be James and Nkunku. I feel if everyone was fit we would be right up there. We have just got to stick with the team and the manager Im confident it will come good.

29 Apr 2023 10:06:15
folks, who could be the elusive 3 players Chelsea are targeting to compete the ST, GK and DM position? let's look beyond nkuku ( though our most reliable source claimed he's seen as a striker! also, the MG lad isn't a DM, he's more in kante's mould, and am really lost here, who the Gk might be!
my guess:
GK- MEASLIER (LEED UTD)
DM- LAVIA (SOUTHAMPTON)
ST- JONATHAN DAVID ( LILLE)
1.) 29 Apr 2023 12:36:21
Kobel/ Maignan/ Oblak
Rice
Kane
Nkunku isn't a striker, atleast isn't the striker we need. Will be a good player us but if we go into the season again without a recognised striker I'll be out of ideas.
2.) 29 Apr 2023 12:29:24
GK - maignan
Dm - rice
St - toney.
3.) 29 Apr 2023 13:45:25
GK - Raya
DM- Lavia
ST- Oshimen.
4.) 29 Apr 2023 14:56:50
Oshimen, will not be coming to coming to Chelsea according to the Napoli fans. They think he is worth €160mil.
5.) 29 Apr 2023 15:52:49
Tom he may not come to Chelsea but he won’t be staying at Napoli.
6.) 29 Apr 2023 17:31:19
Respect you’re opinion but Meslier is dreadful.
Need a strong spind with leaders throughout.
GK - Maignan or Martinez
DM - Rice or Ugarte
ST - Kane.
7.) 29 Apr 2023 19:52:17
GK Costa
DM Rice
ST Ramos/ Vlahovic/ Osimeh/ Toney.
8.) 29 Apr 2023 23:58:47
Jimbo, I’m not sure about that. I have never heard or seen such adoration for a player.
Anyway, definitely can’t get tickets for the game, something about not being residents but apparently the street party tomorrow night is going to be bonkers.
For one night I’m a Napoli fan!
9.) 30 Apr 2023 09:27:58
Tom as the poet Bob Dylan said: “ Money doesn’t talk; it swears “.
10.) 30 Apr 2023 09:37:49
GK - Kobel
DM - Rice / Kone
ST - Kane / Evanilson.
11.) 30 Apr 2023 21:31:20
Jimbo, trust me locally this guy is talked about as the second Maradona.
I’m told that when Argentina won the WC the
local population went bonkers because of the historical Maradona relationship and they talk about and love him in the same way! ’.
09 Nov 2024 09:56:18
kiwi,
I think it's portugese's Costa! I might be wrong though!
18 Feb 2024 17:33:57
Can chelsea afford to have two African strikers in the same team? AFCON is always at the odd football period of the year, having two strikers away from the team at the same time of need doesn't sound wise to me. I'd go for VIKTOR of sporting!
30 Aug 2023 20:57:12
thanks ED002, You are God sent.
30 Aug 2023 17:10:12
seems the player Chelsea opted for is Cole Palmer, is he on the wanted list of players ED002? Thanks.
{Ed002's Note - Yesbut there are two preferred options.}
06 May 2023 19:28:25
My choice would be Toney or lautaro! additionally, if premium offers comes in, I would sell James and chidwel due to persistent injury problems. This team will go no where if its best players aren't readily available. lot of inconsistencies in team. Our 3 most influential players namely kante, James and chidwel have always been away to Injuries! how can such team thrives? then we have others like kovacic, ziyech, pulisic, cheek, fofana that are often injured couple with some players with inconsistencies like CG, Kai, sterling, chalobah, cucu. how can this team fight for a marathon league championship. stability is the key.
12 Jun 2024 19:40:38
it seems cacedai might depart, he has been linked with lot of Italian teams either on loan or permanent transfer.
08 Mar 2024 17:00:53
Bill, I really do, they are the bedrock of the team but Chelsea might not be winning any trophy if our best legs are often off the pitch.
05 Feb 2024 17:13:31
I thought Chilwell had a shocker as well, Neto had him all afternoon. Colwill might just be our best shot for back four system. I often wondered the reason for the Southampton bloke, now I realise that caicedo will always use a shield beside him, he seems more kante than a Maka and can't hold the defensive midfield on it own. I think I'd question poch's ability to get a team out of this folks, it's scattergun at the moment.
01 Nov 2023 09:21:37
ilo, that's a bias opinion, your post is full of pessimism as always, you don't seems to ever disappoint. You mentioned lot of names and if everyone takes a myopic view as you, where's the way forward? you are suggesting replacement for nearly half of the team again! Investments needs time to mature, Man city, Arsenal, Liverpool all bidded their time to get it right, so let's give the project time. Am sorry if I sound too personal.
11 aug 2023 14:12:31
if i were to be at helm of power at stafford bridge, i'd take up a loan to buy option on verrati because of his experience, possible mentorship and leadership qualities. i'd bid high and sign kudus to get back at brighton and hope that adams will come back strong and healthy. i wouldn't go near lavia! as i fear he might be injury prone. i just have a feeling that we might stumble on another matic unexpectedly. cg, enzo, chukwuemeka, santos, verrati, adams should be adequate for three competitions. defensive midfielders are gradually becoming a sacred.
