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.

Utd spent stupid amounts of money and still couldn't mount a serious challenge. Matic wasn't the reason either club finished in their respective positions. Our window closes on 9th August whilst La Liga is the end of August. There's multiple things to consider, so it isn't as cut and dry as you've tried to make out. Swiftly getting rid for a good price would be ideal.

Matic hasn't done that IMO & Willian is almost 30. However, it's obviously a no-brainer if both clubs offer the same fee (transfer deadline is different btw). I just can't see Barcelona doing that

We really shouldn't be concerned where he goes, if the club manages to get £50m~.

Or Manchester

I didn't think there were that many, as he's rightfully waiting to see what direction the club are going in. The club should be shot of Willian the moment any of these rumours come to fruition.

Where would that leave us this time next year, then?

I would see this as an upgrade and potentially make a bit of profit in the process.

Certainly would be nice to see Kante have someone alongside him with some legs and the ability to the pass.

Time for him to deliver

That's why M.Savic would be the perfect partner. If only we were still willing to spend big bucks when the chances arise.

He's a solid unit but was inches away from joining West Ham last season for a reason. The only SCP player we should be pushing for is, Gelson.

Are you a regular viewer of River Plate games?

Our core players learned how to win under Mourinho and knew what made them effective. That core is no longer present, so we need to start from scratch and instill new values. Sarri might not be the right man for that, then.
