care to elaborate? that doesn't give a very good explanation - as Donnaruma is one of the Best Young GK in the world(prick of an agent though)

what do you guys think about an alvaro-donnaruma swap deal with milan that's been floating around?

one could dream.. we were linked with Bruno Fernandes back in may at 80m now free no brainer

Both Gelson Martins and Bruno Fernandes would be amazing business if the club had a clue

the man wants £275k a week.. wants to be the highest paid GK of all time.. If he wants to hold us at ransom that he cant be replaced he can leave.. Oblak way to expensive to buy Alisson is a huge investment at his reported fee. Me personally i'm looking at Leno £22m would be right in our boards wheelhouse and hes a top quality keeper

my only concern with doing business with Napoli this way is that if we wanted to get any player from them in the future we are screwed.. there is no good will in doing this deal this way for future considerations. I can understand the stance from the club in this with how the treated us in the past over Edison Cavani

this could be good news.. i know not very reliable source but thought id post for discussion https://www.dailystar.co.uk/sport/football/705639/Chelsea-transfer-news-Cesc-Fabregas-wanted-La-Liga-Valencia-Villarreal?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+daily-star-football+(Daily+Star+%3A%3A+Football+Feed)

thought this was interesting to read - a lot of ready made players for sarrismo http://www.squawka.com/news/sarriball-explained-and-the-chelsea-players-he-could-build-a-napoli-esque-system-around/1037130#wXzDUg8XxAhKg4Fk.97

If alonso is pushed out and Emerson starts I’d see Luke Shaw on a free or Jay DaSilva brought back for our right back I’d promote Dujon Sterling to first team duties behind Azpi - personally I’d keep Barkley in the squad as well keep Tammy as a striker

Also I’d keep MVG in the squad as well back up for Kante he’s shown he has an eye for pass and goal while in the erdivise

I definitely agree with the bolder part I actually said that in another thread.. in fact we have more pressing matters than that of needing a CB at Chelsea.. we need a CM (Seri/Jorginho) we need a RW (Bailey/Mahrez) and will need a top finisher/st if we sell one of Morata or Bats.. in terms of financing this sales of players like Luiz/Willian or Pedro/Drinkwater/Zappacosta/ loanees like Kasey Palmer/Izzy Brown/Piazon/Nathan/Lewis Baker/Kalas and the many more we know won’t have a role here

if he ever did that eden would sign his extension an hour later

and he helps Chelsea all over again

https://www.calciomercato.com/en/news/aurelio-de-laurentiis-thanks-maurizio-sarri-as-manager-leaves-na-80049 doesn't talk about the clause but if hes been sacked and replaced with Carlo can be the main conclusion no?

To be honest I don't think we need KK we have Toni and he could be our KK - and Andreas doesn't have as much experience as Albiol but could be very good in a back 4 with Azplilicueta beside him at RB . Everything else I agree with above - seems as though they want Luiz - i'd same 15m and he's theirs, but they gotta send Jorginho over for 40m. Just need the right outgoing sales deadwood asap

its official and it looks like no buy out clause was triggered - if so then we only have to pay out Conte and start the Sarri ball evolution

how do we make this happen?

Not called for and poor form from him with the instagram picture.. clearly engineering a move away from the club if Conte stays or even just in general. If this is the case to the continent he goes. Not to be sold in the PL

Lest we forget!!

ADL gotta be the worst owner to deal with he literally picks numbers out of a hat and adds 30m to it

i really hope we pull this off

I have said this before easily second best gk in the budesliga .. Germany #3 but thats due to Ter Stegen being at Barcelona.. if we can sell Courtois for £40-50m and get him for half that would be fantastic business For anyone unfamiliar

Yes no matter how much you may dislike Man Utd - Ferguson was massive for English football - hopefully he is well soon

Honestly I thank him for his service but if he wants to be like that we can make him second choice and bring in someone like Bernd Leno who is same age and very inexpensive option less than 30m.. there is also the obvious replacements in Alisson Becker and Jan Oblak , however these are considerably more expensive and a lot more difficult to pull off

has anyone brought up Ruben Neves. He's on his way up with Wolves and he is exactly the partner Kante needs in a 2 man midfield and would be even better in a 3. Technically gifted, not afraid to get into challenges, shoots from distance, eye for a pass. The best part you get someone like him at his age and your midfield could be sorted for years to come hes only 21. He was really Wolves maestro and architect in their promotion - so he is competent in English football.
