Strike

They had to do that to secure his signing. They'll take one look at him and loan him. Will sign a striker.

Looks like Calafiori is the target to replace him. That sounds good to me. My only consideration with Calafiori was that it would block Colwill's game-time. If he's being looked at as a hybrid LB/LCB then its 2 strong LB options in Cucurella and Calfiori and crazy depth in CB.

That is a LOT of players to shift. Loans - Slonina, Alfie, Humphreys, Ugochukwu, Omari, Deivid, Guiu Sell - Kepa, Trevoh, Sarr, Chilwell, Connor, Casadei, Moreira, Anjorin, David Fofana, Broja, Lukaku,

Matt Law said that the club will assess in pre-season and then take a call later in the window if they need to go into the market. Sanchez, Kepa, Petrovic - Need to shift out 2 to get a keeper in. Slonina is also around after a loan in the Belgian league

He has mentioned, yes but that was 2022. Arsenal have Jorginho now, one of the leaders in the Italian team + they're playing great consistently for a couple of seasons. I think its still very much possible he leans towards Arsenal.

Crazy that Forest value Callum Hudson Odoi at 40m a year after we sold him for 5m.

Glad. Lot of us feared the worst.

Mainly that we have enough options + back Levi Colwill - Can take off the kid gloves with him soon I feel. He's a good CB even though Poch system didn't exactly show him to be.

People knock him saying he was playing in the Championship but it is more beneficial he's had a year playing against low-block, small teams with Leicester because that's what it is going to be with Chelsea for a lot of the games in the Premier League. It is much better than signing a 'Premier League experienced' mid who's been playing counter attacking football with Brentford or Nottingham Forest.

If Sancho agrees to a wage drop late in the window, he’s an option for LW

Could replace the home kit!

Big mistake to think of giving up on Colwill. After James, he's the best academy product we've had - better than Guehi, Tomori who have become serviceable defenders.

I have to say all of them except Bove seem to be better than KDH. + Khephren Thuram contract expires in 25. Reports he is going to Juve for 12.75m pounds. Same for Youssof Fofana - contract expires in 25 and is valued at 21m pounds.

And Clearlake's told Bayern to back off from making an offer for Colwill, gave him a long contract. I think Calafiori will be overkill.

Can't keep buying up CBs every summer 2022- Koulibaly, Fofana 2023 - Badiashile, Disasi All while having Colwill, Chalobah on the books.

Can't farm everyone at the club. Healthy $ for him and a decent sell-on clause. There's Palmer, Noni and Angelo now. Estevao and Paez incoming.

When they sign a 18 year old - "Why aren't they signing a 25 year old for first team" When they sign a 25 year old - "Why aren't they signing this 18 yo wonderkid"

Pretty crazy he has done well enough to earn an extension at Atleti at his age.

Chelsea close to signing the Argentine defender

Only got it because of the overpriced Omari Kellyman deal.

Explains the interest in Isak. Can go back in with a 40m + Madueke offer and see if Newcastle agree.
