Hi ed, just read an article that we could be looking to sign musonda permanently for a fee of around 4.5 million. Surely he would cost more than that, i was thinking a fee of around 10 million would be what Chelsea were looking for at least!

{Ed007's Note - Musonda is not for sale as far as I or Ed002 knows.}

Chelsea hold all the keys and I think that again will be up to Contie if he wants Masonda to be in first team he will send him out to an EPL team to see how he will do against the teams he could be up against next season? What do u think ED?

{Ed007's Note - Chelsea want Musonda to get fit, stay fit and grow up, they see him as very immature and more than Conte will make the decision. We've got as much chance as any other team.}

I take u mean match fit and sharp rather than him healthily from an injury?

{Ed007's Note - Both.}

16 Jan 2018 00:00:52
If injured why would we want him we already have PR injury we are paying for don't want another loanie the same.

{Ed007's Note - He's just coming back from a knee injury and it's not his first.}

Knee injury can be a tough to come back from they might want to keep him close by then when did he last play then cause it could take him a while to get up to speed.

{Ed007's Note - He played for Chelsea's development squad lsst Tuesday.}

Rich T. The guy is lightning quick he will be up to speed in no time :) . Problem is he can't pass or shoot.

16 Jan 2018 01:21:43
To be fair I've got no doubt he could literally run the ball into the net beating 4 men in the process.
Might sky the odd tap lay off but.

You would think that if Celtic did get any encouragement from Chelsea that they would do what they can to get him it's slightly encouraging that Celtic have not walked away from their intrest they must be hearing stuff to keep them interested.

Well who knows in BR we trust and will hopefully Bring in what he's wants thanks ED for your insight once again. I hope we can look back on this window and become a stronger squad for it.

{Ed007's Note - I'm sure we will, Rich.}

Hearing rumours our Physio/ club doctor is on a flight to Germany. Also heard us linked with Franco di Santo of Schalke. could the 2 be linked?

Find out next week on.

Another dead end window story.

Fecking hope it’s not di santo! He’s absolute mince.

15 Jan 2018 21:25:53
With Erick leaving could this be the signs to come ED I don't see much more coming in unless a big player leaves I. e Armstrong what's your thoughts ED?

{Ed007's Note - I have no doubts that there will be signings made before the window shuts.}

15 Jan 2018 22:48:42
Turns out physio is in Germany as Armstrong is having a hernia op over there.

Hopefully we get a few signings in before the end of the window, it would be great to improve the squad for Zenit, but looking to next season it'd be even better to have new players bedded in for CL qualifiers.
On the flip side getting Roberts and Rogic back to fitness will be like two new signings.

Hi Ed just wondering how you fancied our chances of actually getting Musonda and Baker in even if it is on a short term loan initially? Think the pair could really give the team a lift, bring in a centre back and i would really fancy our chances of progressing in the Europa.

{Ed002's Note - I have no way of working out the probability of signing the players but in the case of Musonda there are a couple of English sides very keen. Poiible.}
