He wants 15m a year. Ok but if he do not want to play LB anymore than it is a problem for us because we need LB badly!

Two clean sheets last two games were with Azpi, Rudiger, Zouma and Alonso. No chance Frank is changing anything there. 9 subs apparently. Where is Azpi?

BILLY JUMPS HIGH!

CL FINAL 2021 - SAINT PETERSBURG CL FINAL 2022 - MUNICH CL FINAL 2023 - LONDON I see a lot of symbolism here. We played our first CL final in Russia. Second when we won in Munich (exactly 10 years later new chance) and London is our home. I do not have any doubt we will be in one of them!

Hakimi off?

Cannot believe this thread has 347 pages He was our obsession for ages!

What a business that was! Bought for like 32m. He gave us 3 prime years and 2 titles and was sold for 60m. He did not do shit in Atletico after he came back.

Only 20 players worth keeping!

5 subs is great thing for us. Imagine bringing fresh Kante, RLC, Pulisic, CHO, James from the bench in the second half. I assume Frank will use very similar team that beat Liverpool and Everton from the beginning.

And some thought we need to qualify for CL to sign him. Yet he chooses pre season for new season over playing last 8 tournament to become European champion. 3 games away from the title. It just shows that argument that some club need to finish top4 to bring top players is false. Proven million times.

CL should be cancelled. It is not fair competition this way. Leipzig will be without Werner. PSG without Silva, Kurzawa, Meunier, Cavani... Lyon probably without Aouar and Dembele. Shitty winning CL is a big possibility.

Now hearing that this game will be on August 7th or 8th. One week after FA cup final.

Benrahma would mean we are not after another attacker and we will spend money on Chilwell so no Havertz.

He is far away from spent. 25 goals in 33 games this season. He is most prepared player we have ever seen and he plans to play till 41yo. Last couple of years in USA most likely. His marketing would easily pay for his transfer but yeah total BS story.

Also being played as AM for the first time after a while did not help either. His best games are as RW and CF this season.

I think when they say marquee signing they mean about price of the player. We are after another attacker and LB for sure. So if we buy Chilwell new winger will be someone like Corona or Benrahma for cheep. If we go for Havertz as marquee signing new LB will we cheap like Tagliafico or Telles.

Chelsea transfer news: Willian confirms Barcelona rumours He said: “The only real official offer I had came from Barcelona, last year, after the World Cup. “Barcelona indeed presented an offer to Chelsea but it was rejected. “That was the only actual time I had to discuss something like this with my family, although we really love it here (London). So there were several factors that helped us in staying.” https://www.squawka.com/en/willian-transfer-barcelona-rumours-chelsea/ Wrong case to use your narrative. But in general I agree with you completely. 99% on stories are BS! I think a lot of us have a lot of experience following transfer news to know who is reliable and who is not. This is why I never believed that Real offered us 45m for Alonso, that any club in the world ever offered us more than 30m for Michy or Bakayoko. I mean Milan and Monaco both decided not to use option to buy for Baka. David Luiz going to PSG for the second time is another total BS story. But Willian to Barca is different. Some really reliable sources reported this and it is confirmed by Willian himself. Barca was indeed looking for a winger. They signed Malcom after Willian deal collapsed. Did they really offered 65m? I do not know. But at the time even if we sold him we would buy Malcom or Lozano for that money so it is not like we would use that money wisely. I do not need to say that I never liked Willian and that I would sell him for 30m every summer last 5 years.

Yes because of his flaws in the game but he is right. In the team like Dortmund Michy would score for fun. After all he already did and even average striker like Alcacer was amazing there. That would be enough for Dortmund to beat majority of Bundesliga teams but not for Bayern and CL. Michy even at Chelsea has amazing stats. 25 goals in 2428 minutes. This is basically goal per game. Yes majority in FA CUP and Carabao Cup but even if it is in the PL it would not be good enough because goals aside he offers nothing.

It was said like 10 days ago that we are going to get two marquee signings. Werner being one and he was cheap tbh so we are definitely after another more expensive player. Havertz or Chilwell.

Looking at Havertz stats this season it is clear that he raised his game after changing position. Very slow start as AM. After that RW and now CF much, much better. 19/20 AM 21 games 3 goals 2 assists RW 10 games 5/5 CF 7 games 7/1 Ziyech AM and Kai RW is another great option to have. They can definitely change positions in the game in we sign him.

Yep, can not see how can Bayern justify 100m transfer when they reduced salaries. Not money wise but in front of players.

I did a little research and it is Henry Lawrence. He played as RB. @OhForAGreavsie what do you think of him?

Looks like he did not play against Reading. I do not think we will see him until situation is resolved. Also if Pedro and Willian leave on 30th June we are fucked!
