Inter hasn't agreed a fee though? At least from paper talk, it would seem they would give us preference. IF we approach Inter for the player.

Screw DeLigt #TeamSkriniar

Probably for the better. Lampard and Gerrard were no slouches and incorporated some physicality into their game.

Well, if we want at least one of the new signings to have a proper preseason with the team, it's now.

What are the odds that Ake will be the first official signing.

Even if it's only a signing or 2, just hope they will be good ones. Quality over quantity.

Deleted the link to that tweet. Lot of rubbish floating on TWITter.

We already got rid of Lukaku.

Screw Juventus and their demands. #TeamSkriniar

Speaking of Reece James, is there anything Chelsea can do to prevent them from preying on our squad again? I thought there were talks of a new improved contract.

Agree about potential. I just like Skriniar's all-action displays. Feels like the kind of player we would want at the back, given that we once had Rudiger. Have not seen that kind of aggression from De Ligt, but I could be wrong.

Is De Ligt that much better than Skriniar? Don't understand the hype around him. Especially if it means breaking bank and trading one of our players for him.

It didn't say that. Only said that other clubs are interested. And Tuchel wants to do an assessment.

2 weeks till preseason. Hoping at least one of DeLigt or Skriniar can be confirmed as a CB before that so that they get enough time to fully integrate with the team.

If the paper talk is true, and Inter are willing to give us a special preference over Skriniar (they better do after that Lukaku fiasco), we should just go for it. Comes across as a MUCH more exciting player compared to De Ligt, and could bring back the energy we will miss in defense from Rudiger

Massive contract too. Wonder what the after effects will be across the league. Start of many more big bucks contracts?

Source: joaquimpiera. Who the fuck are these people? And what's their credibility?

Choice for Skriniar. Play under Tuchel? Or play under Mbappe?

Well,..now that the Newcastle move has fallen apart for now.. Should Chelsea revisit this? Feels more interesting to me than tired old signings that are attractive only because of the name of the player involved.

Honestly does anyone even care about a Times article? They've been publishing shit about the club takeover even before it happened. Including about how Roman would hold the club ransom. All proven false. Feels like they have a rival club worm penning articles for them

Similar opinion, but we absolutely need a good CB or 2.

Gvardiol?

Shame that his star has fallen so low after the last two years. If he was still in his peak form from his Red Bull days, we wouldn't have been talking about Lukaku or about signing another attacker.

Same. I have a bad feeling about Sterling & Dembele, just like i had about Lukaku. If those are our only available attacking targets, I'd rather just stick with what we have and concentrate on repairing our back line with quality CBs and sign a backup fullback or 2. Given the less games this season compared to last, that should be enough to remain competitive for top 4.

Or like Arsenal would say., "Trust the process"
