BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

I can't remember when it was but I recall Simon Johnson mention Havertz in one of his stories previously, also long before this all broke out.

That is Simon Johnson.

Just because he had those journalists as guests, it doesn't mean they would divulge their "secrets" to someone who is basically a regular Chelsea fan.

Is this where we are at now? Believing "stories" from some random bloggers?

Good!

No one is saying Werner can't play on the LW. He will be an option there but I don't think we can dismiss the idea of Lampard playing him as a ST either and why restrict your thinking just because of Ziyech and Loftus-Cheek? There are still other options to fill around.

FT on Thursday - Chelsea 1-5 Man City...

What's new there that we don't already know? We know we are one of the clubs interested in Havertz and according to those reliable German sources, no club have made any concrete move yet. Everyone is playing the waiting game here.

Looks like Aguero might miss this game...

I said what I said because I have seen too many people posting the Ins and Outs and cost of players like they are nothing or we have nothing else to worry about. I know the FFP will be relaxed for one season and I haven't read all the details but am sure there's still a catch or two to ensure clubs don't go out of hand with their spending. We are fortunate that Roman is willing to use his own money to help the club but his wealth isn't bottomless and as you said, the sale of players will play an important part for new signings. But there is no guarantee that we will be able to sell all the deadwoods at this point of time, unless Marina lowers the asking price. Otherwise, I suspect we might see loan deals here and there instead.

Don't even see any reliable, latest story on Twitter...

Even though we are in better place financially than some other clubs, I'd assume money from player sales would also be used to cover the losses suffered during this pandemic. Don't think it would be as straightforward as us selling Player X for XX million means we can use that to buy someone new.

He was decent in the first 2-3 seasons but he was never consistent and never fulfilled his potential. The fact that he's now just "chilling" in the Chinese Super League says it all.

Brutal. You just stabbed @LAM09 straight in the heart.

Agent Rudiger on Werner... https://www.chelseafc.com/en/news/2020/06/22/antonio-rudiger-on-what-he-expects-from-timo-werner-and-his-part ‘Like everyone, I’m very excited that he’s chosen Chelsea and I’m looking forward to working with him,’ said the defender. ‘I’ve known him since he was 17 and he did very good in the past few years. He can be very important for us ‘His development was just "wow". In his first season everything was new for him in men’s football but then he started scoring more goals and of course with that comes confidence. He had very good coaches who believed in him and worked with him.’ Rudiger sees similarities between the German international and Leicester City’s Jamie Vardy, who has racked up plenty of Premier League goals in recent seasons, citing his renowned pace and ruthlessness in exploiting mistakes from the opposition. ‘He’s a really big threat to defenders,’ he continued. ‘RB Leipzig is a more counter-attacking team but in terms of attacking the defensive line, he’s similar to Vardy. He has a lot of pace and if the defender makes a mistake and loses the ball, then he goes!’ The pair have played together for the German national team as well as Stuttgart and been in regular contact in recent months. One of the most feared young strikers in Europe, there were plenty of suitors for the forward’s signature and Rudiger revealed the part he played in convincing his friend to join him at the Bridge. ‘I did speak to him before because we have known each other for a long time,’ said Rudiger. ‘We spoke a lot during the lockdown and he told me he was interested in coming to England. Of course then I did my bit, what I had to do. ‘I would say he’s a quiet, humble guy, always ready to do better,’ Rudiger added of Werner’s personality off the pitch. ‘I hope he adapts very quickly when he comes because as we all know this competition is different than others.’

He is basically Lampard's Oscar...
