Ornstein said Chelsea still had firm interest in Lavia.

I think this is the right call. The loan needs to be with a discussion about the position Lewis Hall will be playing in

Jackson will end up being the better buy

Would rather watch Casadei try and learn to live with serious competition than watch Ziyech, Auba not give a fuss on the pitch

He can come here and rotate with Madueke

He would want to play regularly before Euro 2024

A Kylian Mbappe loan offer to help him stay fit for Euro 2024

Another keeper may go off the market

I don't understand the logic of entertaining bids for Connor when there's no midfielder remotely looking like coming in

A buyback on Tomori or Guehi would have come in handy this summer.

They’re readying the Mbappe bid 👀

Angelo Gabriel looked good. But reports said he's unlikely to qualify for a work permit If we do sign Kudus we're going to be stocked in his position in any case.

There is Raya and Sanchez in the Premier League too. Will be cheap to land them too. I'm sure after all the loans are decided the club will sign a GK2

Yeah. Insane how the club has got the wage bill down by a couple of million per week and there's still a high earner - Lukaku - to leave The structure seems a lot better now - Only James and Sterling on high wages

He plays centrally and on the right. Would compete with Madueke and add cover to the midfield positions

We are talking to Ajax about Kudus

Brighton have accepted they aren't getting Colwill. They signed a Brazilian 20m left footed CB from Fiorentina

There's a clause to extend by one year till 2025

We let Guehi go for 20m and we don't have a buy-back (!) We have a match bid clause but no one has bid for him and Palace are quoting 50 m. I'd rather look at the market instead - Disasi, Simakan - who are both quoted to be much cheaper. Only reason to go for Guehi is HG quota

Andre Santos seems to be earmarked as the guy we're keeping. Would be tricky to keep both Casadei and Santos around as backups.
