Unless it's a loan, which I'm not sure that the club are willing to accept it, West Ham supposedly can't even afford £30 million for Lingard. So, not sure how they will afford to pay the £40 million for Abraham. Matt Law has also previously said that West Ham don't have a lot of money now and they need to sell to buy.

Falk is just taking the piss at this point. Now that the Euros is over, these journalists, the media are using us to get clicks and views by recycling the same old BS every day.

If people love their Fjortoft updates, here's him talking about Haaland on ESPN last night. Still ifs, buts, maybes...

No Rice, no deal.

What SJ above was referring to...

The media now need something for the clicks and views now that the Euros is over.

Silva’s game time also probably needs to be managed given his age, Silva and Christensen also had some injuries last season and let’s not forget that Christensen’s and Rudiger’s contracts are yet to be sorted out.

Why are you so worked up over Messi? 🤣

It feels like we can't buy before selling and we can't sell before buying.

#ArtetaOUT was trending on Twitter.

The tricky thing with Gallagher is whether Tuchel would trust him enough to use him extensively throughout the season or will he just be another backup like Gilmour was last season. The fact that Tuchel gave the OK to send Gilmour on loan to get more playing time is already somewhat telling. If Gallagher is just gonna be backup, then there's gonna be a problem because Tuchel will then just rotate between Kante, Kovacic and Jorginho and that's not gonna be enough for the entire season.

Close to having both James siblings at the club...

The friendly is taking place on Saturday apparently.

https://www.chelseafc.com/en/news/2021/07/12/ziyech--mendy-and-pulisic-among-those-Chelsea-players-returning- Thomas Tuchel’s Chelsea squad were boosted by the return to pre-season training of many senior players today, including Christian Pulisic, Hakim Ziyech and Edouard Mendy. The trio joined Callum Hudson-Odoi, Tammy Abraham, Marcos Alonso and Tino Anjorin who all reported back on Friday, as the pre-season work continued at Cobham. Kepa Arrizabalaga was another back in action today. There were 28 players involved at our Surrey training base today, with returning loanees such as Ruben Loftus-Cheek, Danny Drinkwater, Davide Zappacosta and Conor Gallagher among those pictured in action. Malang Sarr, who joined from Nice last summer and spent the season on loan at Porto, was involved with the group, as were youngsters Marc Guehi, Trevoh Chalobah and Armando Broja following impressive loan spells away from Stamford Bridge last season.
