Would be ideal. But I hope this forum got its Havertz update fix for the next few days at least

But there is no need for Chelsea to hurry up is there? There is no competition for Havertz this summer and the club can surely take some time to get a better value on the deal now that they know Havertz is keen to move and is pushing Leverkusen to finish negotiations.

It is understood that suggestions of a deal for Chilwell being close are premature.

My guess is there's no one format for every deal. Each clubs work in their own manner. But yes I'd love it if someone did a detailed piece or podcast explaining this

Romano also saying talks on, no agreement

Over I think. Semifinal run it is

Everyone here should get a good book to read or something while scrolling for transfer news.

Re-upping this. In general, it is a good measure of reliability

That is a Daily Star story. Bottom tier source

Smart from Ethan to try and fight for a place in an inconsistent position in the squad. Could always go on loan at the end of the window if it has to come to that

Who will buy him?

I think this is Lampard's assessment of the CB situation as well.

Yes but not like any alternative is defensively solid apart from maybe Alaba who is out of reach.

Yes, completely schooled AWB. He should be the left-back signing and that would allow the club to get in a centre-back, GK on top of Havertz

Lol citeh

They said the same things when Luiz joined but that talk died out immediately when the season began. Willian may not struggle as much as Luiz did but it is still a good move on Chelsea's part to move him on even if its to a rival

Has a release clause which activates next summer if I remember correctly

Impossible. Ziyech and Werner is too big of a headstart to fuck up window

Muttiah Muralitharan

Oh dear. This is the way we go then. Hoping 50 m + sweeteners like Barkley will do it

He's playing in the Europa League. Plays Wolves tonight. Also, new Tagliafico link dropped by Sky yesterday. Worded carefully - "Chelsea have expressed an interest in signing Tagliafico" I think Chelsea is giving an ultimatum to Leicester to reduce the price or else club will sign one of the alternatives
