If we somehow sign a GK, LB, CB, Havertz and even Rice on top of Werner and Ziyech this summer, am gonna expect some form of title challenge next season. At worst, we better finish in the Top 4 COMFORTABLY and not get embroiled in another stupid scramble for it!

He signed a new 1-year deal recently and from our perspective, it makes no sense to sell him even with Werner coming in.

We will still have Giroud for next season.

Give Havertz #8. Let Pulisic take the #10.

Well, he retweeted what David Ornstein posted on The Athletic. So...

But at least Benzema can still score goals. Firmino does not score consistently. He has gone past the 20-goal mark in all competitions only once in 5 seasons at Liverpool and has never scored more than 15 Premier League goals in a season (done so only once in his entire career). I get that he is a different CF but his lack of goals is simply covered by Salah and Mane banging them in. If goals from those two dry up, then Firmino's numbers are gonna get exposed and Liverpool will have problems.

Sarri has been so lucky this season.

So in order to qualify for the Europa League, Mourinho and Spurs now need us to do them a favor by either drawing with/beating Wolves or beating Arsenal in the FA Cup final...

It's cute you imagine Inter will win that when they are hardly firing right now and Conte is close to having a meltdown. What if Leverkusen get to the semis? Or even the final? Anything can happen in a one-off game. And as I have mentioned, there's also the risk of injury...

They can do it amicably. They don't have to take the nasty route. Moreover, the longer Havertz stays there and play for them, the longer Leverkusen will have to wait to get paid and be able to reinvest in their squad.

Havertz can force the issue, considering he seems desperate to leave this summer.

I claim the credit for making Pulisic-Werner-Havertz a thing first at Chelsea, game or not!

Like what? If he stays for the Europa League, then I am pretty sure he will play. Otherwise, what's the point?

The thing is, the new season starts in mid-September which is only a few weeks after the Europa League. Does Havertz then need another short break? How long would he take to adapt or settle into a new environment? The pre-season will be a short one. And of course, that is without mentioning the potential risk of an injury here. Leverkusen could end up like City where they got less money for Sane.

Since it looks like we're gonna get him now, might as well jump fully onto the bandwagon. And 3 of my attackers in my FM 20 Chelsea team are coming to fruition in reality.

I don't care what others do and they might have come to an agreement that Arthur will be around at Barcelona just to make up the numbers but he won't actually play much, if at all. That's what we are doing with Pedro, no? That won't be the case with Havertz when he's Leverkusen's best player.

Exactly. Touch wood, fingers crossed...nobody wants a situation like when Sane got a serious injury last year out of the blue and his move to Bayern was scuppered.

That really doesn't make sense at all. We would risk him getting injured and/or he may take even longer to get settled in and adapt to Lampard's style the longer Leverkusen stay in the competition. Should just do a Werner.

Chelsea consider signing new goalkeeper whether or not Kepa Arrizabalaga leaves https://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2020/07/20/chelsea-consider-signing-new-goalkeeper-put-pressure-kepaarrizabalaga/

Maybe their lineup tonight will give a hint or two but it remains to be seen how serious Wolves will take the last 2 league games. Sure, there is a Europa League spot at stake for them but they are also still in the Europa League and that is a ticket to the Champions League. Will they go full strength and risk their players getting injured? Will they rotate? Will they take things somewhat easier?
