Blues Forever

Alaba is asking a huge salary to renew (€20m/yr) with Bayern. Their board recently decided to not meet Alaba's demand so basically he will become a free agent in the next summer.

No reliable source are reporting Gimenez has fallen out with Simeone. Atletico also mostly never sold their best players below buyout clauses (Partey, Griezmann, Hernandez, Falcao, and Costa). Real Madrid main targets for next summer are Mbappe and Camavinga according to their most reliable journos, i don't see anyone beating them unless Madrid suddenly broke.

Dybala has been bang average as a winger, his best position is SS/no.10. Many big clubs will want Camavinga and if Madrid also after him i don't see we will win. As for Gimenez, i don't think we will pay 120m to Atletico without an installment in this pandemic. PSG won't sell Marquinhos too because he is the only WC CB they have atm.

The only realistic signing for next summer is Rice, the rest are almost impossible.

Summary: Chelsea will try again in January for Rice West Ham are offering him a new contract with higher wages to try and get him to stay 2 permanent deals had been arranged for players in the final days of the last window to facilitate a move for Rice but both fell through Lampard sees him as first choice as a DM and a depth option at CB Club believe Rice can be convinced if a fee is agreed, hence trying in January He would be eligible for the Champions League Kante is seen as more of the attacking member in a pivot or the right hand midfielder of a three

Should've let him go to Bayern in the last summer, Lampard doesn't trust him anyway.

I say his best position is a no. 8 in 4-3-3, i don't see him as a no. 10 or a wingers (LW/RW) he just simply don't have the right attributes to play those position.

He probably mean Bayern not us.

Leonardo has asked PSG's board to replace Tuchel. Pochettino, Allegri, Motta, and Blanc on the shortlist to replace him.

No one, almost all of the big clubs are broke (PSG, Inter, Liverpool, Juve, and Barca).

Clearly not ready to manage a big club, seems out of his depth to me.

Rip then....

His tactic made Felix look very ordinary, a defensive coach like him or Allegri isn't the right man for us now.

Not too sold with Poch, good coach but i don't feel he has a winning mentality.

Looks like we need at least 2 a new CBs and a DM at minimum since Lampard doesn't change his tactic. And a CB too.

Lampard should've hired a defensive coach, our defense has been utter trash since last season.

Sigh..... another dreadful performance from Kepa

Still better than Kova-Kante or Kova-Jorgi. Need to address a DM in Jan.

Agree, i don't understand Lampard's obsession with Mount.
