That might be slightest more realistic than 70m.

That was the fee going around during the season. Their failure to finish in the top 4 will have a bearing.

We confirmed Rudiger's move on a Sunday

Just for reference, how much do you value at Bailey?

Hazard plus Pedro makes 2, or are you classing Moses as a winger? We aren't getting Martial for our transfer budget and 40m should be more than enough to wrap up a deal for Bailey, especially considering Bayer finishing 5th. Lozano could also be an interesting proposition in the price bracket. Think some are forgetting our the board is still in place; only expect big money signings, if cash is coming in first. In addition, value doesn't always equate to quality. 15m~ for Giroud was great business tbh.

We need options as well. 2 proper wingers is unacceptable (providing Willian's sold). Selling Willian for 55m, spend 13m on Shaqiri and 40m at least on a starting option. Made perfect sense

For £13m? There isn't better value to be had in the EPL.

We should be after both, if either Morata or Michy are getting sold. Shaqiri was there for the taking at a bargain.

Thibo is far from the best GK in the world. We know what matters to the board the most. Hope Sarri has some sort of power and isn't another mouthpiece.

Barcelona supposedly want to offer Gomes in a deal. He's one player that should be off limits altogether, as we all know no club will bid 150m+ on a CM/DM.

You mustn't have looked far, then. I think many believed he was nailed on to win it had Belgium reached the final. Guess it will probably be between Modric & Mbappe now

He will do a job and he's Brazilian

It had to be done after all his antics last season. We can finally move on. Conte still deserves credit for a great debut season & two FA Cup finals, winning one.

Chelsea shouldn't even be thinking about rejecting such offers, if there's an ounce of truth in them.

Fulham have got some deal at 18m

Is Kante finally going to get a competent partner?

He's a better option than Sterling, so it's an improvement to their starting XI if anything. Still stupid money for someone that won't take them to the next level. I'll be more concerned if Jorginho is next in line.

Neymar sort of fee is all we should be considering.

He was essentially calling out for club to reinvest with talent and look at the situation we are in. Nothing has changed in two months

Our options are dire, that's why.

He was a massive liability as a defender (defending is a prerequisite) against decent opposition. The club as a whole should stop trying to put square pegs in round holes to cut costs, etc. He didn't look "rubbish" during his spell at Newcastle. I don't want to hear about the standard difference either.

We signed him as a WF and Mourinho worked his magic by turning him into something he isn't. It should be of no surprise that he actually looked better than all our attacking players bar Hazard. I'm yet to see us link with another winger, so he should be given a chance as it stands.

Zappacosta & potentially Willian are goners. We can't be letting go of someone that could do a adequate job, unless there is buy back clause.

We should be more worried about a manager at this point. Reports of Conte being at the training ground today. How desperate are the club to save a few million?

He's nothing much more than a willing runner with little to no end product & shines when those around him performing. The odd bright moment can't mask that. Douglas Costa should have been starting ahead of him after the group games.
