Get you sum Willian!

I have read some of the good journalists say teams get their highest price deals done first. As tight lipped as Chelsea is about transfers, I doubt anyone really knows what their overall strategy is?

Carefree Youth is saying one of our players completed a physical in Portugal and contract will be announced. Hmmmmmmmmmmmm

"Journalists" with no stories to write.

I have a feeling it will be Zouma

He played CB a few times last year and looked good at it. They have definitely been training him in the position. It also provides flexibility to change the defensive shape without substituting players in.

I think if we get Kai, we have enough attacking to rest all of them through rotation. Pulisic's game works with him going all out. Pushing your body that much all the time will cause injuries. Part of his maturing process is knowing when to push and when to recover. Kai, Werner, Pulisic, Tammy, Mount, and James....it is mind blowing how long they could play together if they all stay.

If this was announced tomorrow, it would be spectacular for us. An added bonus of throwing ManU fans into a tizzy.

Sadly once some people there assumed negotiations were finished there were a lot of comments like the following tweet. If ManU sends the €120, they will still buy him. Better options you say?

I was asking your opinion as you seem to be familiar with the forum.

I like when some of them refer to us as renters. That Chelsea doesn't develop talent, we just rent it for the prime years and then send them on their way. Ummm doesn't all pro teams do that?

Buy Kai and let's move on. Unrelated....reading RedCafe has been fun today

Pay Drinkwater to go somewhere else?

Is this some sort of transfer dance, or is the Sancho deal really just reporters guessing that this is going to happen?

I think you will get the best money for Barkley right now.

Mount is still developing and to his credit, he has been a tank this year. For as much as he flies around the pitch, he does not pick up small injuries.

No way Mount is not on the pitch. But I do like that XI

Chelsea transfer news, from decent sources, has really gone quiet on my twitter feed.
