Strike

We owe Milan one.

Cillessen and Areola are good keepers and if Real are considering giving Kovacic, why not Navas? You are missing the point however. A decent goalkeeper instead of a (potential) great one will not make a big difference to this team. After Neymar moved, goalkeepers like Leno, Perin (Juve) have moved. The Chelsea board has grossly misjudged the goalkeeper market this summer and are now paying the price with a panic buy. Questions need to be asked about it.

Things will change. Quickly. New keepers will emerge, keepers will fade.

Nope. Nobody would want that. Sign a different keeper as stop-gap

Club should get their outfield targets

Same was said about Courtois.

Ederson, Pickford last season. Leno this season and this is in the Premier League alone. Goalkeepers don't always cost a lot like Allison. Areola is a good keeper and there are plenty of keepers available for less than 40 million pounds who could come and do a good job. If they are in form, there will be little difference from having Courtois or Kepa between the sticks, Would rather spend on other positions with two days left in the window and focus on getting a good keeper next season.

Yann Sommer, Cillessen, Areola, Keylor Navas, Kevin Trapp, Off the top of my head

Would pass on Kepa and sign a 30-40m keeper this summer

This kind of money on Kepa and not Oblak? Too much money.

Jorgi, Kante Fab, Barkley, RLC, Danny D, Bakayoko Central midfielders at the club rn. Should be selling at least two of them

What about his knees? Can someone clear up the condition of his knee?

Fantastic start to deadline week. Kovacic - Jorginho - Kante. Oof!

Not Green or Caballero. Someone like Schmeichel, Kepa, Cillessen, Areola, Butland, Navas, Yann Sommer. The best one available. If they are in good form, it won't be a massive difference from Courtois last season tbh.

Should the club spend 60m on a GK though? In the short time left in the window, would prefer strengthening elsewhere and signing a stop-gap keeper

Not massively worried about Butland replacing Courtois if the club is able to add quality players elsewhere this week - the likes of Fekir, Bailey

Transition season is back

Martial can play on the wing.

I think he eventually will.

Team needs new fullbacks

Only change I would make from pre-season teams is Emerson for Alonso and drop Fabregas down to the bench. Maybe RLC to start?

I think with Higuain it is the right call.

Price quoted is too much. This is not going to happen

actually went from Seri to Golovin to him I would rather stick with RLC and Barkley. But I get Sarri's view. We may need cover in this position especially if he is offloading Drinkwater and Baka

I think the club should sign one more midfield player. The team loses so much of its composure and sure-footedness when he is not around. Jorginho - Kante - Fabregas - Barkley - RLC is a solid set of options for three positions (Not even counting Drinkwater and Bakayoko at the moment) but I don't see a midfield without Jorginho in it able to play well in Sarri's system. I think Sarri is right when he said that the team lacked midfield quality and I hope that even though Golovin and Seri did not join, it is able to bring a similar,cheaper midfielder in and not a box-to-box player like Ramsey.
