we need to STOP searching for a RWB and promote Livramento (or at least assure him is the future) if you (and MANY here already hate the idea) remove a converted Adama Traore from the picture and also take into account that Barca are NOT going sell Emerson Royal and that Silas Katompa Mvumpa is out with a really bad knee injury then the RB/RWB prospect list is really short Ridle Baku (probably the best we could get) James Justin (Leicester will want a shedload of cash) Joakim Maehle (I am very wary that his Euros were a blip)

Report: Chelsea Make Thomas Tuchel Decision The Blues are putting faith in the manager. https://www.si.com/soccer/Chelsea/news/report-Chelsea-make-thomas-tuchel-decision Chelsea have made the decision to allow boss Thomas Tuchel to make judgements on players before any transfer moves for those returning to pre-season training, according to reports. The returning loanees and players who did not feature in Euro 2020 or the Copa America have returned to training for Chelsea and now Tuchel will have the opportunity to assess his squad before the club make any decisions on players futures. As per Football.London, the German will 'make judgements' on players before decisions are taken on their long-term futures at Chelsea. This news will come as a boost to many Chelsea players as they return for pre-season training with a fresh slate, looking to impress the new Blues boss. A host of senior stars returned from their holidays to participate in pre-season, including Edouard Mendy, Marcos Alonso, Christian Pulisic, Hakim Ziyech, Callum Hudson-Odoi and Tammy Abraham. Several loanees rerturned too such as Matt Miazga, Davide Zappacosta, Conor Gallagher, Ruben Loftus-Cheek and Trevoh Chalobah. Everyone has the opportunity to impress Tuchel and work their way into his plans at Chelsea before the club become active in the transfer window. Armando Broja also returned from loan and will be looking to impress as the Blues are said to be in the market for a striker, most notably showing interest in bringing in world-class striker Erling Haaland this summer. However, Dortmund do not wish to sell their star and a 'massive bid' is necessary in order for Chelsea to stand a chance.

I watched him play a lot not freaking out he is leaving, especially as we have BOTH a sell-on clause and a right of first refusal

glad to see the club starting to move players NOW GET BATE AND LIVRAMENTO TO EXTEND

I have been calling him our number one forward prospect for ages

only two I will lose my mind on are Bate and especially LIVRAMENTO Guehi is short (only 5-11) and not, IMHO, an elite CB, and do not see him becoming one anytime soon (at least not in the next 2 or 3 years)

here is my list of must keeps (youth) I already posted on Guehi in the link above) no order Conor Gallagher Armando Broja Billy Gilmour Tino Anjorin Henry Lawrence Thierno Ballo Lewis Bate Tino Livramento Bryan Fiabema Xavier Mbuyamba Jude Soonsup-Bell subject to change on some, and some added as time flows by

If I was a footballer I would play for Sweden, not England (Barbados is SHIT at football, lolol)

well, all you need to do then if you take my figure of €150m is reduce the cash on all my posts above by £21m simple maths

no

that was based off the €175m price that so many claim is what they want I cannot please everyone (I still say they would take €150m cash)

good

then if Tammy, it was £100m to £115m cash, likely £100m if CHO, £115m to £125m, likely £115m

well, we value Tammy at (lolol) £50m and CHO I am sure around £30-35m €175m is £150m so it was likely £65-70m cash + Tammy & CHO at MOST is £90m cash + Tammy & CHO (Tammy at £35m, CHO at £25m)

Megalomaniac

Well, with PSG now going for Theo Hernández (my number one LB target all along, even over Chilwell, other than the unavailable Alphonso Davies) FUCK and Leonardo Spinazzola's career being likely ruined now because of the Achilles blowout (I think that Marina was close to closing the deal before it, as she was amongst the first to publicly wish him well as soon as he was hurt) we are down to just 4 remotely oki LB/LWB options Lucas Hernández (and it is so unlikely Bayern will sell him) Nuno Mendes (19yo with huge upside, BUT sporting are demanding £43m, and even Pep is saying nope, too much) Robin Gosens Ramy Bensebaini that's it (and I have seen very few links to any of them and us) if we do not move for any of the 4, then we should just keep Alonso Alfonso Pedraza is a panic buy I can see us doing, IF Alonso does leave we have no youth LB who is remotely Chels quality atm Nicolás Tagliafico is 29yo in August, so not an option (nor do I rate him, he is a farmer league flat track bully) Alex Sandro is 31yo in January and absolutely not a legit option

yep, and it likely will never come back 100% 😪 at least he is not totally wrecked like RLC

arfff, more AFCON bullshit wtf

Motherfucker PSG may end up with BOTH my number one targets at LB and RB

and 2018 🤬

‘Too much kebab!’ – Hakim Ziyech teases Chelsea teammate Edouard Mendy in pre-season training https://metro.co.uk/2021/07/14/hakim-ziyech-teases-Chelsea-teammate-in-pre-season-training-too-much-kebab-14931113/

Zouma should fetch £35-40m, he is an ideal CB for a multiplicity of EPL clubs (the type who do not rely a highly technical ball-playing CB, which is the vast majority tbh) and he is in his prime for the next 5, 6 or so years Guehi is short (5-11) and I do not see him atm as an elite CB or evem with a very likely potential to become one soon, which is the ENTIRE point of selling Zouma (we need an elite CB) these are the only CBs who interest me and are remotely available (which knocks Marquinhos and de Ligt off the list, plus I do not trust José María Giménez to remain healthy all the time, and Milan Skriniar lacks ball-playing skills, and Koulibaly is too old now for the insane cash Napoli still want) Jules Koundé is a dwarf. IF we crop £69m on him I am going to explode in rage. Alessandro Bastoni (by far the toughest pull, even more so than Varane, unless Pep says he is keeping Laporte, wh then goes off this list) Raphaël Varane Aymeric Laporte (IF Pep is actually selling him) Maxence Lacroix (If none of the 3 above are doable, then I would grab him, massive upside) Sven Botman Alessio Romagnoli maybe Gianluca Mancini
