Him and Pulisic both could have been incredible footballers if not for injuries.

Really looking forward to preseason tbh. Want to see some Pochball and how the side might look going into the season.

I mean he’d be a clear upgrade on our current situation but it only makes sense if the deal makes sense. Otherwise would rather wait.

Not been crazy keen on Vlahovic but if it is in a deal that gets Lukaku off the books and we are not paying too much for him then it would be good business probably.

Agreed. I hope we spend <£50m for most of our future signings tbh. Couple more expensive ones now if needed while we get some fundamental gaps sorted, and then it is time for our massive, expensive scouting / data team to deliver for us in the same way we've seen several other clubs manage. Healthy use of our sister clubs (Strasbourg + Portuguese team?) to buy up a bunch of promising <£20m players and develop our youth and Chelsea FC regularly buying <£50m players, and a team that is being constantly built and developed so that we never end up with a stagnant group of 33 year olds and another big bang rebuild job.

And not onto a base of a winning side, we are building something almost from scratch here

Best business of the whole window

Get real. We are not even a top 10 team yet.

Benfica slap a 70m Chelsea tax on as soon as we call them though, probably

Maybe we finally make some progress on Caicedo in the next week or so?

Shame Lampard isn’t in a job he’d be in for Mase with his whole budget. Tbh Bayern would be a good destination for him, guaranteed ‘successful’ career and a play style under Tuchel that will normalise his flaws (lack of creativity, vision, awareness of players around him, selfishness) within the turgid attacking system Tuchel believes in.

Honestly think we can get a better deal for Mason if we shop him around. A lot of clubs will want him. He’s always been a managers dream.

Wouldn’t pay more than 30m for another GK tbh

Reports that Man Utd have given up on Mount and are going after Caicedo

Interested in this Mount business, I wonder what they want to discuss f2f. Feeling is maybe other clubs are willing to pay 65 and they know that concretely, but are trying to honour Masons wishes by getting him the move to Utd? Guess it depends how hard ball they and Mason are willing to get about what happens next, would Mason refuse a move to another big club and leave on a free or would he want to leave on good terms to maintain some kind of relationship with the club and fans? What happens to Mason if he does try that? Train alone for a season in his prime?

Feel like we need to find ourselves a couple of experienced leaders to add to the squad tbh. People that will play and be here for 3 or 4 years at a high level minimum.

Don't get me wrong it will be quite tiring being slightly nervous about Kepa in every game all season, but it is just not the priority or even in top 3. We are aiming for at best top 4 next season and Kepa is not going to be the blocker to that.

Strasbourg should sign him! We should be all over these kids now, just not all directly to Chels.

Curious what the plan is, would be interesting to put similar managers to Poch at all the clubs we buy and try to buy and build up the same profile of players, would make loans and possible transfers a lot more helpful.

Who’s that lad?

Where’s Gary Neville’s response? Man must be fuming. Next he will be on us about the multi club model for sure.

So do we send all of our young players to Strasbourg then? Do we fund Strasbourg to start signing loads of promising, affordable young players (just not the ones WE want?!) Multi club is gonna be a minefield. Do we now support Strasbourg?

Have a feeling Caicedo isn’t going to happen any time soon, if at all. Brighton have absolutely no need to hurry and may as well sit tight and see what happens with Rice. I feel like we will sign someone totally unexpected tbh.

It is so obvious this didi007 guy is a troll / wind up merchant, every single post is designed to wind people up by saying something ludicrous

No chance. Man owes us money. He either effectively retires by training alone for the rest of his career or finds a transfer. No other option exists for this behaviour.
