Fabrizio saying Colwill considering leaving in case two more CBs join after Koulibaly

Reading this article, it seems Colwill is counting Emerson, Ampadu, Sarr, Azpilicueta among his competition. Tuchel needs to convince him that the minutes are there even with one more signing (Kimpembe) and that he's ahead of the likes of Sarr, Ampadu.

Barkley and Sarr seemed like low-risk signings when they came in for cheap but just shows how difficult it is to shift bodies if they are on fairly high wages and are rubbish at this level. Hope this is the last of the depth signings for the sake of it.

James. Neat finish

What is the point of Barkley? Give the minutes to Billy G

Asian fans can relate

Still do - I'd say Pulisic (age 20), Havertz (age 21) in recent years were similar signings. I like the no-nonsense approach this summer. Get in Koulibaly, Sterling and use the academy boys for depth instead of signing more youngsters.

Do people forget Callum is only 21

He's right. Wish he had the sense to reject us and save all the trouble

2025. Chelsea have had a 70 million bid to sign Levi Colwill rejected.

Feared Colwill is on his way out soon as news of Kimpembe and Ake broke. It's a shame. Hope the club can leverage the interest in him and insert a buyback like Livramento, Abraham

Matt Law saying Koulibaly signing a four year deal. Is that the biggest contract Chelsea have ever given someone 30+?

Intrigued by the signing. The best attacker we've signed in a while bar Havertz. He's impressed mentally and seems to be able to handle the pressure of being a leading figure at a big club. He's had a leadership role in the England squad under Southgate, has experience playing in attacking systems and presses tirelessly off the ball. Tuchel will love him

Matt Law had reported yesterday about club looking to sign Koulibaly, Ake and Kimpembe

Gary Cahill is a free agent. Defensive crisis sorted

Fans took time to accept Fabregas and he became a fan-favorite by the end. And he was captaining a rival

Or save the cash. We no longer have limitless money. Will need to have funds for 2023 when Rice, Bellingham etc might be available.

Mount K2 is also one of the highest mountains in the world.

Ake Silva Koulibaly with Colwill Ampadu Trevoh as backups seems to be the plan. Colwill rotates with Ake, Koulibaly switches between the centre and RCB since Silva will be rotated.
