Player says hes happy here. PSG already in hot water with FFP before they even get into even more with the Neymar/Mbappe investigation. Chelsea would demand a kings ransom if they even answered the phone. Hes not leaving, on to the next rumour.

Than hopefully we would do a liverpool level reinvestment and proceed business as usual. No one player is bigger than a club (messi excluded) not even hazard. But i think an aggressive offensive coach like Sarri + Madrid no longer being interested means we might get to keep Hazard and he will reach legend status with us. Pay him the wage he deserves, new 5 year deal. A jolt of confidence, 1-3 smart buys and a coach with momentum like Sarri and we are in business.

Simon Phillips on twitter quoted mediaset that a potential price of 11m Euros which would include Raul Albiol is in the works. Apparently Sarri asked for this player and his release clause is 6m Euro which puts the fee at 5m Euro. I used Potential and Apparently to underline this is a twitter rumour. I don't really care for Albiol but if Sarri says he wants him 6m is a laughably small sum in todays market for a piece he requests. This is a new rumour ive never heard, id expect the final deal to be something along these lines. A player + Sarri release for a fee.

im assuming these are agents/team of Sarri?

Perhaps, They picked up De Vrij and Asamoah both on Frees, brought in Radja + Martinez. Icardi sees this + CL and it would be a TOUGH sell for us to convince him. Especially with how our board has been handling transfers, We wouldn't pay the fee which would then lead to discussions about a swap and pricing etc etc. I am not holding my breath. Would be terrifying in a Sarri system though, Kane/Salah would have to be worried

The press know nothing, its a complicated situation. They will announce when its done. Hopes are some point during the week. best to lower your expectations then be happily surprised if its soon.

Inter are having a great window so far. If they hold on to Icardi they have a really nice looking squad.

I would have absolutely no problem if Pedro were to stay, as you said he does fit the mold. Just need him in shooting practice aiming to keep these balls down!

I agree, that is what i meant by "attacker of the boards choice" Someone like Leon Bailey/Fekir/Malcolm. I am higher on Willian than most, even after his little emoji tantrum. I think he would fill that allan role as a true right winger really well for Sarri. Basically in my opinion if Willian is to leave he must be replaced plus an extra winger. Barkley also has the potential as that forward right winger if need be. Plus we have youth players we can cherry pick for cup games etc. Ideal summer signings for me: Seri, Leon Bailey, Icardi. More Realistic: Seri, Malcolm, Higuain(swap or purchase somehow) Ideal outgoing: Drinkwater, Zappacosta Realistic outgoing: Drinkwater, Zappacosta, Morata, Luiz

He seemingly had a wonderful year. he looks like he is gonna make it into the first team eventually. I think he will stay with us during the summer and impress, eventually going on loan to a PL or championship team.

Ill believe this when I see it, i am hopeful but not confident just yet. With regards to players, I don't think we really need any of them. If he wants Hysaj thats fine, Zielinski for his release clause is not worth it at all. Prying Koulibaly away from ADL will be 100m and Chelsea is not going to pay that kind of money. Sarri is a manager renowned for not asking for too much. He will want Hysaj with a release clause I can swallow, besides that we will look to bring in Seri and an attacker of the boards choice and be done. The striker debate I have no idea, I can't imagine we start next year with Morata/Giroud/Bats so we will see what happens. Not keen on the idea of Higuain for Morata but frankly he would be a problem for the PL with sarri and Hazard so im not really against it. Also similar type of player to Tammy which could be great for him to see/learn from. If inter want Zappacosta, sell him. Hysaj in for Zappa Whoever wants drinkwater, sell him. Seri & RLC in for Drinkwater I am indifferent if luiz/pedro stay or go.

But are Madrid prepared to suffer? are they willing to work work work? In all honesty Madrid would be real scary with Conte.

Some midtable PL team will come along and offer 25m for him. A bournemouth/Burnley/Crystal Palace type team. For the same reasons we bought him, HG PL winner, tough with some skill. He just never quite fit here, I genuinely thought he would be useful for us but alas his time at Chelsea will be shortlived. Personally if i were Burnley I would take a long hard look. Fits their style and player profile.

Icardi 100%, but the difference is I think this would be a straight swap Morata <--> Higuain whereas we would have to trigger the 110m Release clause for Icardi. (I would still prefer icardi, but thats not how chelsea operate. Although the same could be said for swapping a young asset for an old one)

While i agree its not the best plan, if we get Sarri it is tough to say Higuain will be a disaster. Also it certainly opens the door for Tammy to learn and develop. If we were to swap Morata for Higuain I would really like if Batman would be kept. He genuinely wants to be here and showed a little bit at dortmund and always looks good for belgium. BUT lots of variables need to sort out before this becomes a reality.

Sarri & Higuain go hand in hand. only way it makes any sense. Hurts to give up on Morata this early but Sarri & Higuain reset our timetable to compete now. Plus we have Tammy coming up behind, and depending what we do with Batman we could have a load of cash. I personally prefer Icardi solely due to his age, but Higuain & Hazard with Sarri is quite scary to think about. If we don't secure Sarri than obviously Higuain wont happen.

Feels like a bargaining tactic, Jorginho really only has one suitor and its City (unless we somehow resolve Sarri) so they don't have to give in to the whims of ADL. I'd still expect to see Jorginho in manchester eventually. City don't miss on their 1st targets.

Honestly where the hell is she? a vacation from work i understand, but this is like an accountant going away during tax season. So odd.

Chelsea 1st offer is a lowball..... How this god damn club operates now

I am reading this right now, July 1st he is relieved of his coaching duties but he is just on gardening leave. He does not become free of his contract on July 1st. The only way we get Sarri is if we do a deal with ADL. I can't imagine him budging on anything less than the 8m and id imagine he is raising his price by the day. Marina might have really fucked this one up if Sarri was our first choice. Just goes to show the cheap tactics she uses and why we never get our 1st options.

I put the board completion over/under at 1.5....ill take the under!

Let us hope we have a new manager announced by World Cup, the amount of supposed transfer activity expected by the club this summer is never gonna happen with a shortened window + world cup + coaching uncertainty. Shambolic start by Marina and the Board.

Hope he does really well. Frank/Jody certainly have eyes for Chelsea in the future. Bring in JT as DOF, throw Drogba on the board and we have ourselves a proper organization.

I genuinely think he wants to take a break this year. I'd imagine Juve or French National Team are his next destinations.

Its a fair question, and oblak is rated extremely high. But i can't see how they could ask for that, Courtois is seemingly held in high regard from clubs across europe. It is apparently only CFC fans who want him gone haha. I think if offered Atleti would take the deal for the same reasons we would, a world class goalie swap where both goalies are happy to move on and try something new & no hassle with trying to pry another top clubs #1 away.
