evening eds

im just wondering, all that commotion the other night from you guys about cahill, was that based on something real, as you seemed quite confident on it, and not just you guys a few other people, seemed to be feeling the same way but its all kind of fizzled out, as the whole situation, seemed a little out of character for you...
Cheers for all the info.. {Ed002's Note - It was based on something real.}

Hi eds is Cahill in the Bolton squad tomorrow? Have talks moved the deal closer? Do you see a bid put in for Rodallega? {Ed002's Note - You know what we know.}


I dont know anything..


 

 

20 Aug 2011 22:00:33
Is there any news on cahil who are the clubs that have shown a serious interest in him I personally think he will end up at a london club as I believe if we wanted him badly enough we would be trying a lot harder to get him than we are thanks

Todays was a fantastic result with a resilient performance. In the last couple of years we would have been pleased with a point.... Today we would have been gutted.

Arsenal are a team in complete turmoil and I reckon they may struggle to get in top six. Worringly for Arsene, it was their big name players who failed to show. RVP was non-existent, Arshevin dreaming of Domino's Tuesday 2 for 1 and Walcott was in Jose's pocket.

Lucas was superb, Adam showed glimpses of vision, Downing pace and a good outlet ball, Agger managed two games on trot. Luis and Raul made real impact.

Very promising. I''l enjoy my JD and coke tonight

Dirks Engine Room


Bang on the money there Dirk..my thoughts exactly, and mine will be a Rum with the coke

Red Til Dead


Got to agree mate, thought today was a good chance to take 3 points and we did. Hopefully arsene will continue to be awkward and won't splash the cash as i believe they could be our main contenders for the champions league spot. All these lfc fans complaining today about big Andy and Hendo, get a grip, we won two nil, I think people should spend more time looking at the positives rather than trying to find fault with what ended a fantastic result. Have faith people.


So true mate, quality post.


Sorry folks, didnt sign my last post re dirks comments and this is one of my bug bears.
Andy the red


Henderson had a good game, got in good spaces and made opputunities


Dirk..stay off the vod m8..trust me

atlfc70


Raul over henderson for me


Hendersons Young, I wouldnt make assumptions of Raul Over Jordan just yet, i think the performance today was quality though


Henderson was rubbishe, still don't rate him, think KK and dc got mugged paying £20m for him. I think he is def one for the future but for, i would have played meireles instead of Henderson, with kuyt on the right. Meireles' link up play with Suarez was awesome, both players came on and made the difference. Come on KK, we need to keep meireles, not sell him to rivals

King Dong YNWA


Good positive post....can we have more pls...i want to actually enjoy the good times unlike some people around here......
PDUK


Mines a stella please if your going the bar


Great result,all the new lads looked great . must keep raul


I've never understood the quick criticism of Carroll. The guy is all effort and that's going to lead to goals (should've had one last week but for that casually ludicrous foul called on him). He's never looked lost out there or out of place, like some former player did in another shirt last year.

I get that he cost 35 million but he's 20 years old and makes peanuts for money relative to the transfer outlay to get him here. He's a handful for any centre back(s) and when Luis is fully match fit and Stevie comes back I feel like our attack is only going to get better. Lots of times in the first two games movements have broken down because a player stopped his run a little early, or played a square ball instead of through, etc these are things, predilections, that players find out about each other in time. Very excited to see this team come together. Not a thoroughly impressive win but we came through great in spots and I can only see us getting better as time goes on.

TheKaiser


Wake up boys, andy carroll is useless doesn't put in the effort, henderson not far behind him, has to be raul & suarez instead of these two.


Sorry folks heres where i get slaughtered ,thought we were very lucky ,a lot of players dident live upto expectaitions ,carrol if hes a good player worth 35 million well i will eat my hat , kuyt gave the ball away everytime he got it , and lucus well thought he was crap , best player on pitch was kelly fantastic , enrquie was excellent and will always give hundred per cent sorry but my thoughts .


Meirales better with suarez


Carroll as usual was ineffective. Glad that Flanagan was not in the team.The second half was better after Carroll was taken off. But in fairness to Arsenal,8 regulars were not in the team and we seized on the advantage when a player was sent off. Still a win is a win and hopefully we can ride on this morale win and be more consistent by beating the lower teams.


Lucas was superb you reckon? Nasri mad lucas look ordinary on quite a few times. He was hardly superb today. Wake up please


Loved the 3 points don't get me wrong, but it was only when we brought on Luis and Raul and stopped trying to ping everything onto Andy's head that we looked fluid. They are two class acts and we would be mad to let Raul go.Ping Pong getting sent off opened up the midfield for us and we ran amok. Lucas was brilliant. I am looking forward to a SUnday lunchtime bevvie with my Gooner mates - hehehe


Watched the game and happy to come away from there with 3 points . but I felt the midfield looks very unbalanced henderso running in to blind alleys adams looks a yard slow and his passing and free kicks were well off the mark carroll tried but he is getting in to the bad habit of not fully jumping for the ball Arsenals center half had him in his back pocket to be honest and he is also throwing himself on the floor at every opportunity he was bought to lead the line like toshack did all them years ago . but it is early days and hopefully when stevie comes back it will all gel but I am over the moon to break that duck against Arsenal who have troubles in their camp we can only improve as the season goes on a win is a win at the end of the day well done kenny and the boys but there is room for improvement


First thing first... What a performance by the team yesterday they ALL worked hard and played some great football.
Secondly There is no pleasing some people is there to many football fans are so fickle yes meirales made an impact when he came on but if he had started that game arsenals midfield would have had a lot more of the ball henderson played a very disciplined game tracked back made tackles and didnt drift out of position leaving no gaps in the middle, all the thing meirales dont do. Get off the lads back what is he the new lucas for everyone to slate for the first 4 seasons untill people open their eyes and realise he puts a good shift in. As KK said at the end of the game your only as good as your squad and for me yesterday he got it spot on starting henderson and bringing meirales on when arsenal lost a man in the middle
Sandwich


I think downing is going to be a liability although he did get into some good areas i thought his pure greediness in not passing to players in better postions in and around the box cost us goals early in the game and if this continues could also cost us champions league football.


How is downing a liablity?? he's been our best signing everyone wanted mata then we played them in pre-season and downing played class and made mata look awful mate you need to wise up.


@the criticism of andy carroll. if you judge a striker then surely it should be aimed at him striking. essentilly since the season kick off how many chances have the team 'actually created for him? 1 decent chance against sunderland which he took and was disallowed. 1 decent cross against arsenal for a header he could actually 'attack' and szechney made a super save. the problem is not AC, it mainly lies in the team playing too deep at times and not giving him the right service. anyone who watches or who has played football will know that as a striker if you can't attack the ball you don't have a hope in hell of scoring especially with your back to goal and with 2 men climbing over you as arsenal did through out the 1st half. he's getting match sharp and is waiting for luis suarez to get match sharp too. once the arrival of stevie g is back on the pitch the inevitable space he needs to flourish will be available and you can all judge him then. give him and the players time, 6 of the 1st eleven have essentially played together no more than 2/3 times. it's a team in working progress that will in a few months have 'hopefully' a completely different understanding of eachother. it's also a team undefeated be happy.
s.p


Few points people have made:

downing ball greedy - i have to agree. i thought he played well, got into good positions and looked the part but chose the wrong option (and chose to keep the ball when passing it would of been better) on too many occasions.

Lucas played badly - completely disagree, he broke up Arsenals play so many times it was ridiculous. Nasri did him a couple of times but it wasn't anything major.

Henderson played well - disagree. poor first touch, uncreative and wasteful with the ball. he's young and will improve - i'm not worried but has to be said not a great game by the lad.

Carroll was poor - agree. his movement without the ball when we were attacking was poor, his first touch was atrocious and Arsenals defense looked comfortable when he was on the pitch. But its early days, he will come good.

Fullbacks were our best players - absolutely true. Enrique owned Walcott for the entire game and contributed going forward really nicely as well. Kelly looks absolute class - i know he is supposed to be a centre-back but given current performances he should only be played on the right, looks like a nailed on England international in future - i think Johnson may struggle to hold down a regular first team place this year if Kelly is fit.

Adam was average - hmmm kind of. His distribution from set-pieces and his long balls where awful. however, his tackling, short passing and attacking movement was very good and i thought himself and lucas looked very good together in the centre, promising signs.

Meireles and Suarez changed the game - obviously. As soon as Suarez came on we played the ball to feet instead of continually trying to cross the ball and his movement when he wasn't in position was absolutely top class. Meireles linked up with him really well and immeadiately looked the part - i hope we hang on to him, that sort of strength on the bench is exactly what we need.

overall i was delighted with the game yesterday, i thought we controlled it for long periods, we had a few hairy moments but ultimately ran out deserved winners - things are definitely looking good.

SMc


HAAHA.....has some1 really just said henderson was superb?? OH MY GOD.....he was AWFUL he's a poor footballer, dalglish has had a nightmare payin 16 mil for him ross barkley across the park is 4 years younger and 10 times better jack wilshere 10 times better, even tom cleverley, jack rodwell etc etc r better he will NEVER b good enough, trust me.....lucas was also poor any attackin central midfielder (nasri 2day) will have a field day up against this crab....kuyt was also his usual shocking self how meireles doesnt make that startin line up is a travesty.......on the plus side, enrique done well, aggers fitness is a bonus, carroll done ok considering a severe lack of support, downing done quite well, adam was ok cant wait for the captain 2 return, plus we need a right winger, defensive midfielder and a top centre half (NOT cahill or shawcross)


Henderson is rubbish


Lucas 11 tackles, 3 interceptions and 1 key pass that says it all He is QUALITY at what he does so all you haters can zip it


I agree with SMc up the page.Carroll created space for others with his runs,but Henderson is not up to it at the moment.When Gerrard is back,Henderson can warm the bench.Not enough created for the big man to feed off.Dirk thought he was playing for Arsenal,the amount of times he gave the ball away.Yes we need a right winger,with a bit of pace,and can play a quality final ball.Meireles should be kept.Kelly for England,a must.Enrique says he can only get better...Bloody brilliant yesterday,cant wait


Sorry aint personnel to any player.but lfc better with pace.dirk and suarez mobile and v good,endve last season.room/place must be made for meireles.quick,undetected runs-goals.and if that be at hendersen,carrols expense so be it.quicker and more inventive with suarez,miereles in side


 

 

20 Aug 2011 20:43:17
hi ed is there any truth in all these rumours of raul leaving i think we should keep him whats your opinion {Ed002's Note - There is truth in there being a financial issue and of his being granted permission to speak to other clubs. However, I would guess that it a situation that can be resolved.}


Lots of truth, if you don't pay the player.

He will be playing for Chelsea


It is indeed a shame because I love Meireles. For all you idiots here who have been criticizing him, I hope you finally see why we should keep him. Can't believe some fans have become so blooming fickle. whatever LFC decides, I am behind them. But why our own fans don't see his potential goes to show what narrow minded punks some people have become. Raul is good for LFC. Period.


I think fan are a little fickle because for the first half of last season he was poor... then he hit a purple patch from about December to February... and then remained distinctly average. However, it was his first season in English football and i think there is a lot of scope for him to improve - if we keep him i expect him to go from strength to strength. Judging from his position when he came on (attacking midfielder, almost second striker) perhaps KK will keep him as an attacking back-up meaning we don't need to purchase another attacking player? It would make a certain amount of sense in terms of squad depth, versatility an expenditure.


Merieles IMO is a player we NEED ,yes hes not consistant, but on form hes fantastic and with him and suarez coming on at arsenal we won ,without them i think we would have drawn 0.0 , looks to me like we are relying on suarez to change games and win them which how pt was last season when it was torres and stevie g who we mainly relied on , hope some of the new faces step up and come good so we have more than one or two star players,hurry back stevie


 

 

20 Aug 2011 20:22:01
I've just posted about N'Gog to BWFC. However, update is that Coyle has bid for Nedum Onouha as well as SWP. Seems arsenal have moved quickly for Cahill after today. LFC remain quiet on Cahill interest.
PS


 

 

20 Aug 2011 20:01:41
I have just been told that if things continue to go as planned tonight, the David Ngog will be sat in Reebok stadium tomorrow having completed his 3.5 mil transfer


 

 

20 Aug 2011 19:24:56
Everyone u have to realise ED002 is a Chelski fan and she is very biased - so asking questions about Mata etc.. Will get u a response that is the truth so stop asking stupid questions

Some of the other Ed's that are Liverpool fans may give a rosier view

NS YNWA


Is that true ed002?

ste liverpool {Ed002's Note - Is what true? That you will get an honest answer, then yes.}


Ed002 is incredibly consistent, her comments seem to be based on best knowledge at the time, not opinion at the time.. hence the mild sarcasm in the responses given to daft questions?? The great thing is.. we are all hanging on what a Chelsea supporting woman says {Ed002's Note - It's a bitch isn't it?}


Oh.. and it's ED002 we trust the most

Celticbuddha


Im not having ago ed,your right id rather have an honest answer

ste liverpool


It's true that he will give you an honest answer, however expect slight bias. Chelsea need Mata to compete with the Manchester Clubs, personally i want Chelsea to compete as i dont think either Arsenal or Tottenham will. Liverpool will be there or there abouts but not quite title contenders.. It'll be good to see Mata in the epl, even if at the wrong club. Supporters will complain that Lpool didnt capture the player when he shines but when we get CL football next year, there will be some much more high profile signings, we will have the money and the ambition/achievements to attract the best in the world. {Ed002's Note - I don't think there is ever any bias at all of course.}


I must agree with NS YNWA in regards to ED002 beng slightly biased in her views about chelsea but so what if deals happen then they are down to the clubs and players and she's either right or wrong and only giving her opinion.


What a ridiculous comment, I have seen Ed002 be cutting, sarcastic sometimes down right rude but always honest and unbiased - idiot


SHE IS OUR FAVOURITE EDITOR YOU NITWIT Stop being an ass and appreciate the fact that all editors spend their precious time answering our stupid questions.
Furqan.


I think it has to do with the time of the month. She does get a bit tense around the 23rd,but we still love her.


Ed002 for the win. She only gets criticized for snapping the fantasies of deluded "supporters". If you want bias watch Fox News, if you want unadulterated and accurate transfer news come here, I would hope by this point everyone understand's that about this site and the people who run it.

TheKaiser


Ed002 is what keeps this site running.
if i ever want a footballing question answered this is were i go.
the eds are experts and its not very often you have such communication with people so in the know on all things football.
i owe the eds quite a few drinks for answering all my questions over the last year. my footballing knowledge has at least doubled.
if your ever going on your hols out of john lennon airport eds let me know :)
MIKEY


Ed002 maybe a chelski fan but does she realize we got £50million for Torres from her beloved chelsea, and what return has he given them.


Is this a rumour site or an ass kissing bonanza?


I am a member of the Vince McMahon kiss my aris club

don't knock it till you try it Mate


Torres was brilliant yesterday (not) and was subbed again for Drogba

AVB will be the first manager in the EPL to be sacked

Chelsea were terrible yesterday and Roy maked AVB's team look terrible

Happy Days, I can't see Chelsea in the Top 4 not based on yesterday effort

Kalou was subbed after about 30 minutes and did not look happy, Malouda was their best player


This is unbelievable this is a liverpool site im apalled ed002 is a ....WOMEN


 

 

20 Aug 2011 18:53:30
Ed002, where do you think sturridge will end up? I don't think hes going to stay at chelsea, there's too much compitition.Unless Drogba and Anelka go, then either him or Lukaku will start along side of Torres.


Also, where do you think Liverpool will finish we are all optimistic but, I want a view of a different supporter.

Paul The Gooch {Ed002's Note - I expect him to stay at Chelsea and play regularly. Anelka and Kalou are likely to leave. Borini has already gone.}


 

 

20 Aug 2011 17:18:49
Hi ed hope ur well
Do u think we will sell raul? Or give him his expectant pay rise?
Surely kk wouldn't sell him.....he's been fantastic
REDNOSE {Ed002's Note - I really don't know. He has permission to talk to other clubs but would have thought it is in the best interest of the club to resolve the issue.}


I think he is good Last year. and still his movment on the field is good. keep the promise to him about te pay rise. he is 2nd year in EPL


Keep him,not just cosve today.on last season also


I think we would be absolutely mad to seel him, he gives us another dimension in midfield and his fisrt season in the premiership was impressive, plus his link up play with Saurez today was quality. Although after setting up Saurez he did appear to flick the bird at someone, did anyone else see that?


Yeah I saw that as well? Was that management, a player or someone in the crowd. Can anyone shed any light. Nothing was said on MOTD either

{Ed006's Note - It was a joke in reference to Frimpong who did the same to Lucas as he was getting sent off.}


 

 

20 Aug 2011 17:02:10
Eds, my respect as usual.
Would you be in any way surprised if we sign absolutely nobody until January? I think Kenny is relatively happy with what he has and will be hoping to get Skrtel, Gerrard and Johnson back to strengthen the squad.
Ronoc {Ed002's Note - It would not be a surprise. If he cannot get the players he wants he will not buy for the sake of it. However, I do think a CB is still on the cards.}


Thanks Ed002. Succinct insight as usual. I have a feeling it's Cahill or nobody at the moment.
Ronoc


Yessss. Get Cahill or Dann. And please get another prolific forward to partner Suarez.


 

 

20 Aug 2011 16:55:06
Ed is there any chance we could sign either zarate or lavezzi? {Ed002's Note - Very unlikely.}


Ders always a chance in football, you fool


Lavezzi?

Not Good enough - we should bid for Shano from Roy


 

 

20 Aug 2011 16:54:30
Ed do you think liverpool might try and sign hazard? I know it is unlikely but with our performance today i am sure we could convince him we are a team who are going to get champions league football {Ed002's Note - I think it very unlikely.}


 

 

20 Aug 2011 16:30:27
ED 002

Would I be right in saying that any money generated from player sales will go to pay off the ones who's contracts we buy out to get them of the books.
Thanks {Ed002's Note - I don't know how the owners will be apportioning money, but they need to provide the funding to cover any contracts that are bought out (El Zhar), any signing on fees outstanding on players leaving (Jovanovic) and outstanding payments from the original purchase of players (Aquilani) etc. Certainly clearing the decks of all of the fringe players will cost a significant amount.}


What money from player sales?

Did we get any money from player sales this summer?


 

 

20 Aug 2011 16:11:29
ed how certain are you dat mata is joining chelsea {Ed002's Note - A fee has been agreed by the clubs; a five year deal agreed in principle with the player. It is very likely to happen.}


I dont care.........but why the hell does he wanna play for chelsea after asking just once.......and not even liverpool?? {Ed002's Note - Liverpool never made an offer for the player. The club went after, and got, their number one target. You should be happy.}


Can we not send a cheeky offer for Mata?

After all Mata prefers Liverpool or so I have read?


Ed002 dont talk bulls***t the fee involved is worth over 50mill are chelsea really gunna spend that on a player they already have cover in {Ed001's Note - the fee involved is not 50m, you clearly have no idea what you are talking about, especially as that is hardly an amount to worry Roman.}


Missed out here on a quality signing i think.


I ment things within his contract like to buy out his contract cus aperantly it would of cost 20m or so to buy out his contract but now the figure has risen significatly im not saying it wont happen the deal im saying there are other complications {Ed002's Note - There are no other complications. The fee agreed between the clubs is 28M euro - about £24.5M. The player was in London yesterday. He has agreed to a five year deal and there is some detail to be resolved contractually. Why is this so difficult for you to grasp?}


I get im sorry for any compictaions i made and i grasp it sorry {Ed002's Note - Valencia have today told AP that only the payment structure remains to be resolved and that their bankers need to confirm an acceptable schedule. Chelsea have said that they will fit in with Valencia and the bank putting the funds in to ESCROW if required. They have also confirmed the fee to be paid to the club and that they understand the deal to be for five years with an annual wage of a little more than 3M euro plus bonus payments based upon team performance. I would expect the deal to go through without further complication.}


Chelsea will pay Mata £55k per week which is less than we pay Degen


Dont believe him he's a chelski fan... {Ed002's Note - So the anonymous knuckle dragger speaks. You should sign your posts and explain to everyone why you feel it necessary to say that I am lying to you about Mata. But sadly you never will. How much over £50M are Chelsea paying for Mata then - at least you can share that with us all?}


 

 

20 Aug 2011 15:46:12
Afternoon ED

Is there any credible news or sources linking us with Boudebouz or another winger thanks {Ed002's Note - No.}


 

 

20 Aug 2011 15:38:59
mata on verge of joining chelsea for £23.5 million


 

 

20 Aug 2011 15:04:55
forgot to put this with my other post:

I was watching the game today with my friend who is a big argentina fan and is basically a guru of all players from argentina... make a short story shorter he said he can see mauro zarate moving to us for around 10 million.. i asked him where did he get this from he told me he read an article online about him wanting to move to a top club in england... hey would be a good move i remeber he did good for brum in the championship...

p.s hope we get Rodallega i think with the good players we have got we can make him way better.. cause wigan do suck bad

Ronillz NY RED

YNWA


Hope your right.todays result should show potential signings were a coming force.agree re rodallega,need more pace badly


So far Zarate's agent only confirmed that Zarate is talking to Arsenal, prob Blackburn as well. Don't think we need Zarate anyway, he could be a problem in the locker room.


So your mate from argentina read something somewhere?

what a source

Dont get me wrong, im no source but at least I dont pretend to be

Red G


WOW he read something on the internet, ive gotta get me one of those, is it like a crystal ball??


Any 1 mention sauce tomato or brown


Haha you guys dont give no slack at all im watching the game with him and talking about it im not going to ask him o where what site and jump up to the computer im just passing on gossip rumours w.e just chill out..

20 Aug 2011 13:58:46
ed anything in miereles/sturridge swop?like miereles,but ild take that.whats your view ed? {Ed002's Note - There is no Meireles/Sturridge swap I am afraid.}


Would keep miereles.mayve sacrificed for sturridge.byt bar downing no pace in our midfield.keep raul


 

 

20 Aug 2011 13:55:38
be quite happy with rodallega,we need pacebut ed,do you see anything in higuain rumours,or bull?thanks {Ed002's Note - Higuain, most unlikely.}


 

 

20 Aug 2011 13:52:06
ed...where is aqualani....i miss him....pass this message to him {Ed002's Note - You won't need to worry about him too much longer.}


Hes not even that good He doesnt have the heart.


CARROL AND HENDERSON ARE PANTS why on earth did we buy them suarez and meireles changed the game what the hell are we gonna do if suarez gets injured


He wants to go,ed must be doing his nut.accept itkeepraul


Your pants give them a chance you idiot


It's true...they are PANTSthere is times when we have to be fans and encourage them (ie during the game). but looking realistically...(atm its soooo not working)


Sook the cheese from your Grandaddies PANTS you anonymous negative fool.

Henderson played well today and Carroll set up a goal that was wrongly disallowed for a slight nudge.(also happened in the Sunderland game)

We bossed the game today, without Suarez for the first 60 odd minutes.
Stop being a ***** and support the team.

You mean that's your wish list or you have inside info?


Not really sure why there's a strong interest on Youssi?


Hope sowheres cole going then?


Its like a picket line we shout out out out


 

 

20 Aug 2011 11:10:43
any links to watch todays game on the net {Ed002's Note - www.soccertvlive.net/ - and you can watch the reserves playing now. Is there a reason you don't just add this to your favourites?}


Google FSI. Great site has all u're footballing needs.

Liverpool looking for Rodallega. What do you thing ed. Good signing about 9m {Ed002's Note - I think he would be.}


Looking for rodallega? has he gone missing. Not good enough rather have ngog


Rahter have ngog. haha who are you? rodallega has been a beast since he arrived at the prem far better than ngog. sort your head out my son.


Really ? ngog better than rodalegga ? ngog is a total crap.


Well we do need pace


Today proves pace opens up tight games.and we need more of


£9 million. Are you having a laugh? Wouldn't pay £3 for him.


Rodallega would be a better signing than Donkey Carrol, everytime he plays he ruins the flo and the tempo and Rodallega is a proven striker


 

 

20 Aug 2011 10:45:24
any chance of a late cheeky bid for mata ed? {Ed002's Note - Hard to see Liverpool not going for it.}


Yes Liverpool are making a cheeky bid for Mata.

They are offering the two cheeks of H&G left aris for Mata

Seriously Mate do you expect Mata to respond to cheeky bids at the last Minute?

Most players now would consider cheeky bids insulting?

Time to join the real world


Just because ed002 is a chelsea fan =(


Cahill last signin, unless we get rid of joe cole to spurs then we could maybe get yossi.


The longest running soap on this site. "The Mata transfer saga" he WON'T join us


Another spanish flop to chavski.......two light weights in a long ball team, which aint gona work FACT


 

 

20 Aug 2011 10:33:33
Any ideas about Mata joining LFC went out the window weeks ago & by all accounts he had an ineffectual game against us recently.
So reading folk getting on here getting their knickers in a twist about Mata possibly joining Chelsea is something I can't bothered with. Big game coming up at lunch people - support

20 Aug 2011 10:20:33
cant understand why some fans are still questioning as to why aqualani wasnt in last weeks side an most probably wont be this week either,
cant u realise hes as good as gone, he dont wana be here


Why in the world did Rafa buy him in the first place or was it some stupid talent scout recommended him?


 

 

20 Aug 2011 09:54:10
Editors i'm sure your ready but just a quick heads up. If Mata does sign for Chelsea and plays well, scores a few, creates a few expect the posts to flood in like a torrent of why did we not go for him and went for British players like Downing and Henderson. I'm sure he'll produce but if he does anything special on his debut like Kun did, well your fingers will be about an inch shorter then they already are. Big time effort today to break our duck,on paper we should win but if we think we've just got to turn up to win,we'll get a nasty suprise. Dont write Arsenal off just yet, their weakened yes, they look to be in a bit of rubbishe with all the players missing/gone/going. We should be capable of beating them. Just dont underesimate them. Jonson6 {Ed002's Note - Mata will sign for Chelsea and regardless the posts flood in all of the time about Mata, and Aguero, Sanchez etc..}


"If he signs and if he scores a few and if he creates a few" people will complain we didn't sign him.Or Aguero,or Higuain, or any one of a dozen or more very highly priced players who will command bloated contracts.Again "if" Mata signs for Chelsea I'll be interested to see what they pay for him and I'm betting it will be in excess of 30 million.We've spent a lot so far and can't just keep on,as some idiots post,"get out the cheque book and sign him every time a decent player might be available. {Ed002's Note - The figure is less than £30M.}


Actually ed002 im not having a go but in mata contract the date has passed were teams could buy him for 20m or so now his contract has gone to 50mill or so i think for clubs to buy him and i heard this on sky news reporter if thats were you asking i got the information from {Ed002's Note - Thanks - I did not say it was £20M nor did I ask where you got your information from. What I said was that your suggestion it would be more than £30M is wrong - very wrong. I understand that the agreed fee is about £24.5M. Perhaps Sky were confused again - which they often are.}


With mata its different. we had the money, we had the chance to sign him and we chose Downing instead because the choice for buying a winger was based on Caroll. as simple as that. so if he performs better we sure will regret it and every one will talk about

miccmak


Will jonny mata, and kun stories ever die?


Whether it would have been as easy as phoning Juan Mata's dad and asking if we could have a word with him, you need to support the team we have, not the fantasy team you wish we did. If we finish Top 4 at the expense of Arsenal then I would imagine next summer we would see big European or South American talent coming in. Until the lure and money of Champions League football come in I doubt we'll be buying anyone with wage demands above 80k or 90k a week. People seem to forget that about Carroll, he may have cost more or less the same as Aguero but Aguero is on about 200k more a week. That's a huge difference for a club with wage bill concerns.

Hey eds do u know if we have ever shown interest in borrusia monchengladbach's marko reus he looks a really good prospect only 22 an am sure he plays out wide on the right? Only asking because he could be an alternative to marin who supposedly turned us down?
Skurks {Ed002's Note - None. In the event he moves it will be to Dortmund or Bayern.}

just been informed liverpool are trying sort a deal for aquaman to go to lazio and mauro zarate coming the other way . not sure of the details but lazio have comfirmed mario xarate will be moving this window . watch this space


Zarate will move in Arsenal not Liverpool. Aquaman may be finish at Milan.


Not a chance, Aquilani is a Roma fans, he won't play for Lazio ever. His either going to Milan or Fiorentina {Ed002's Note - Or Juventus or Palermo.}

Chelski to sign Mata and Arsenal agreed deal in principle for Eden Hazard according to BBC rumours page. Looks like we can end all talk of both coming to Anfield, although ED's have said all along they wouldn't

Hope there's legs in this Raul deal to Chelski with Sturridge the other way......I do rate Raul and he did a good job last season but with the number of MC's at KK's disposal he is expendable, and with Sturridge looking out of the picture under AVB, hopefully a deal can be struck? Anyone heard anything?

Mata is on his way to Chelsea, fee agreed for £28m, source the daily telegraph (although not sure that is a reliable source).

Fab site btw eds.

King Dong YNWA


I read the article the person writing it decided he could play 12 players ( i quote '1-3-2-5-1)as a formation which seems to me like he did it late and hasnt put much effort into it {Ed002's Note - And the fee is 28M euro not £28M.}

Italian media revealed that on Monday or Tuesday, Milan's Vice President (Adriano Galliani) will meet with Aquaman's agent to conclude the deal. source is SportItalia.

Sorry to ask Eds but are we still in talks with Bolton for Cahill? It was said there would have been some developments yesterday. Thanks in advance. {Ed002's Note - It said "may". If there is anything to report we will.}


 

 

20 Aug 2011 02:38:05
Ed just wondering if there has been any news on ryad boudabouz since the last ed reply this morning? Or do you no who we could be looking at? Bolton have reportedly said they are waiting for us to sign a replacement before he can join them

Tomkop7 {Ed002's Note - No, nothing.}


Anyone know if he is up to standard?


Well when I described Boudabouz as an attacking and goal scoring midfielder I got savaged by a footie expert who told me he isn't a midfielder he's an attacker who plays wide on the left or right flanks.Which sounds like an attacking midfielder to me.He's young and other posters have said he's fast and tricky but I don't think there's a lot in this story re us signing him.

Hi eds. Heard a lot 2day about aquilani. But do any of you have any idea where hes going? Also do you know where poulsen is heading? Awesome updates keep up the info. Cheers {Ed002's Note - Aquilani will go to one of Milan, Fiorentina, Juventus or Palermo. I don't know where Poulsen will end up.}

Hello Ed :) Please take thisd on liverpool rumours side. Is there any chance that we in Liverpool Fc can buy Eden Hazard in the transfer window which is currently underway? And what chance do we have to buy some of these players here in this transition window for the future; Caetano Portugal, Lacazette and Griezmann from France and Henrique from Brazil.
Ed, who do you think Liverpool will buy that new cb in this transitional window. I hope we buy two cb before September 1 I. And who do you think is the greatest chance we can buy. I hope for Cahill, anyway. And of the ones we have been linked to in the past (Godin, Lovren, Mertesacher, Dann, Cahil, Shawcross, Kjaer, Subotic),and I hope Cahill and Godin are the ones we buy in the summer. I hope we buy Boudebouz too. {Ed002's Note - There is no real chance of Hazard joining and no chance of Ganso either. Lacazette is just a kid who has played a few games for OL and Caetano means nothing to me off the top of my head. I expect that there will eb a CB and Cahill seems favourite right now.}


Ed; Have you see the world cup of under 20 ? There is Caetano a very good player. Him is one of the fastest gay I have ever seen in a world cup.

Mata agreed personal terms with Chelsea and agreed 28m fee, modric on his way too.
So no more mata rumours thnx.

Big j


Do you have a source?? Or is this just a complete wind up and waste of time?


Was this on FIFA, PES or Football League Manager? Or are you a farmer who has just wandered in from a night out and thought your night will be complete when you start throwing some bulls*** about?


Check out the chelsea rumours, seems to be almost a done deal according to ed18

Tomkop7


Guillem has confirmed the transfer is agreed will probably be announced Monday, fee and personal terms are agreed. He very rarely gets these things wrong if at all Modric will most likely join as well but need to sort out fee


Guillem ballague said it's a done deal


It general knowlwdge Chavski want Mata and have been in negotiations

Mata is no more like Kun


It is on Guillem Balague twitter and he is right a lot of the time. M. Murray


No she*p sherlock................get with the times


They can have him, he's a poor player. Not a good individual player, see him in the game against liverpool? I didnt notice him.

Hi Eds,

Whats the latest with Marco Bueno?

ta {Ed001's Note - as far as I am aware he signed a pre-contract agreement to sign properly as soon as he is able. I believe he is too young to sign full terms just yet.}


He was born on 31st March 1994 which makes him 17 and old enough to sign a full contract.
DM {Ed002's Note - Typically he would not be allowed to move until he is 18.}


Sorry ed002 - could you pleas explain what you mean? Thanks DM {Ed002's Note - FIFA rules state that transfers abroad are only allowed for 18-year-olds and up. There are exceptional circumstances that can be claimed - such as families moving with the kid. This is why moves such as that of Lucas to Chelsea and Wallace to Chelsea will not be completed until the players are 18.}


Thanks ed. I think that this happened in the case of one of Liverpool's academy players as well. DM

Heard chelsea are seriously interested in merilies but kenny will only sell if sturidge is invloved in the deal, and with the arrival of lukaku boas may be interested


I would happily swap meireles for sturridge.


I still can't believe these Sturridge stories.After his loan spell last season he said "I want regular 1st team football" which would be unlikely with us.I expect Chelsea to begin unloading their older strikers e.g. Drogba and Anelka soon and probably Kalou as well [ 2 from 3 anyway ] thus moving Sturridge up their pecking order.
