Lampard is too smart to give anything away.

Not disagreeing or anything, just want proof because I haven't seen him explicitly say what you claimed. Of course it may not work out the same way again but if you're worried about City getting him especially if we don't have CL football, think Jorginho and maybe even Kante.

When did Chilwell publicly say he wants to play for Guardiola?

Kane out till April...

Said it before, Sarri should be held accountable for playing Loftus-Cheek in that match, especially knowing his fitness/injury/back problems. About the game, sure, it was for a good cause but the timing was really poor. And if we're talking strictly about maintaining match fitness, we could have easily arranged a friendly with some other team back home.

Loftus-Cheek’s calf muscles halved in size after achilles tear, his return isn’t imminent but he still has potential to be ‘like Hazard’ https://theathletic.com/1516833/2020/01/08/loftus-cheek-chelsea-injury-latest/

Another day, another played linked...

Don't bother with it. Matt Law has shut it down. Think Sky Sports "invented" that rumor to get bets for their SkyBet.

Surprised we haven't been linked with him!

So, Sky Sports making BS up, huh?

https://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2020/01/08/mike-mcgraths-transfer-notebook-reece-james-ready-commit-future/ According to that, James is close to agreeing a new 5-year contract.

The transfer rumor mill is going a bit nuts, I think...

Apparently, Duncan Castle and Ian McGarry have said the same thing. So...

Make of that what you will...

De Gea seems to be on a decline. Maguire is overrated. McTominay is average. And players like Pogba doesn't seem to want to be at the club, Martial blows hot and cold, James is so-so. They have A LOT of deadwoods in their squad - Shaw, Jones, Young, Fred, Matic, Pereira, Mata, Lingard etc. United almost have to buy an entire new squad to get back to challenging at the top. United have thrown a lot of money in recent years and it's gotten them nowhere, not when people like Ed Woodward is running the club basically. Pochettino would be better off biding his time and wait for opportunities elsewhere. The Bayern job still not filled permanently, Tuchel and Guardiola could leave PSG and Man City respectively in the summer, Zidane is always a few bad results away from facing the sack at Real Madrid etc.
