Looks like he could also possibly play LCB too.

Yeah RCB was always his calling. People criticising his passes that led to goals when in reality only the first (Tielemans goal) was his fault. But even then, it was a handball. 2nd was Kovacic not being aware and getting caught on it too long. These errors are something that can be improved relatively easy (more assertion in forward passing)

Aye Pogba dilly dallying in our two man midfield that requires incredibly discipline is exactly what we need.

I would rather go with James, Dave, and CHO than to splash 80 bloody million on Hakimi. We have CM and ST that are arguably higher priorities.

80 fucking million 😂

Let's all relax. Hardly concrete when a Paris based reporter is claiming Hakimi prefers PSG. Just the other day we saw a report saying Hakimi prefers to play in the Premier League.

I prefer Tchouameni. Not seen much of Locatelli and his defensive ability.

Edit. Nvm

How’d you reckon he’d fair at LWB?

I agree. But goal scoring central midfielders are a rare breed. Can’t put an attacking midfielder in that CM spot. That’s my point:

Tuchel made it clear that the two central midfielders in this system have an incredible amount of responsibility. Their main duties are finding the space to quickly transition the ball and to be tactically disciplined in defence. This is the same for every formation that has only two central midfielders and why you don't see attacking midfielders playing in a 442. We personally saw how poor Mount was in that role and I was one of the people who thought Mount could excel there. Far as I'm concerned, the decision making in the final third from our attacking play has hurt us a lot more than the limited attacking capabilities of our central midfielders against low blocks.

Don't think we are in for a CB with the Hakimi rumors and James' utilisating at RCB. We also have Sarr and Guehi coming back so we see how they fair doing preseason.

Low tier source claiming we have agreed personal terms and are 'half way there'. https://www.si.com/soccer/Chelsea/transfer-news/report-Chelsea-agree-personal-terms-with-erling-haaland

Hakimi has played LB for the national side and has looked decent there. I would imagine he will primarily be RWB rotating with James. Think we are going to see a lot of rotation next season.

Just need to hope the rumors of Lazio wanting Kepa on loan are true.

CF, CM, RWB and a LWB if both Alonso and Emerson leave. That apparently is what's been reported by the club's correspondents. These Maddison and Grealish rumors blatantly clickbait.

European Pedigree is very much real. It's no surprise we were the last first winners in 24 years.

We hear that every year.

Heart set on linking up with Poch is what got me. Why would a player, who has no affiliation to Poch, would have his heart on working with that utter bottle job? 😂

Reports in France say that Hakimi has his heart set on linking-up with Mauricio Pochettino in Paris and will snub a move to Stamford Bridge. Aye that's totally believable.

Think its evident we aren't in for a CB. Hopefully Guehi comes in and impresses as I live in fear when ever Zouma plays.

He's Zaha'd himself.

I don't believe it myself. All reports indicate City want Kane. Much like @King Kante assertion, it feels as if this will drag out like Havertz, although I am doubtful this will be pulled off given the difference in circumstances.

https://www.si.com/soccer/manchestercity/transfer-rumours/man-city-set-to-make-110m-offer-for-erling-haaland-Chelsea-set-for-race-to-sign-player Also states they put in a bid for Kane but nothing was reported if they accepted or not.

City have put in a bid for 115 million.
