Reddish-Blue

It's not about potential, it's about getting an inflated fee for a player who needs to be developed. Right now Duran isn't a 50 million striker and Villa would take that deal any day of the week as Emery would just go into his Spanish contacts and find another attacker. Atletico tried to do that with Samu and if it wasn't for that last minute change, we would have paid 40+ million for him...

Will probably be similar to the side we used for the 1st Leg. No need to risk Palmer. Give some minutes to Jorgensen, Veiga, KDH, Nkunku, guessing Tosin will come in at CB.

We should be more worried about selling off Sterling/Chilwell/Chalobah/Badiashile (to make way for a better CB).

At least he's off the books for this season. Funny thing is, even with Kepa's limitations, he's still a better keeper than Sanchez. I still don't get how Sanchez is the #1 keeper, he wouldn't be more than 3rd choice at any other side going for top 4

He should be offered to Marseille, where he can reunite with his old boss De Zerbi.

Even United wouldn't be that stupid to accept Sterling's wage package, they already have Rashford on the left, don't think they need another english winger.

LINE-UP – Wolves vs Chelsea XI: Sanchez, Gusto, Fofana, Colwill, Cucurella, Caicedo, Fernandez, Palmer, Madueke, Mudryk, Jackson SUBS: Jorgensen, Tosin, Badiashile, Veiga, Dewsbury-Hall, Neto, Nkunku, Joao Felix, Guiu From the PL site...Lavia's not even on the bench.

If the scoreline is 3-1, it'll be for Wolves.

Also on SkySports, he may have failed his medical.... Latest from Sky Sports News' Dharmesh Sheth: Sky Sports News understands the deal to take Chelsea forward Armando Broja to Ipswich is unlikely to happen at this stage. There are reports it has broken down at the paperwork stage. However, one source has told us his medical highlighted an issue. As a result - as it stands - the deal has stalled. https://www.skysports.com/football/live-blog/31771/12476234/transfer-centre-live-latest-updates-on-raheem-sterling-mikel-merino-manuel-ugarte-and-more?postid=8171050#liveblog-body

The only other links for Broja were Bundesliga sides and they are definitely not going to pay a high fee for him.

Kepa news Looks like Bournemouth are keen on him

15 million is for 50% of his rights. Such a weird deal. Porto can then buy another "30%" of his rights in the next 2 years for 10 million... I didn't realise you could buy a percentage of player rights!

It wouldn't be that shocking to see him at Arsenal, but it would be interesting to see what sort of fee would be offered...

If Osimhen wants stability, he will choose Arteta for sure. Imagine them upgrading from Nketiah to Osimhen...if that doesn't make them favorites for the title, I don't know what will.

We need a confirmation from Obi Mikel

Wonder if all the highly paid internationals have a contract 'get out' clause incase of a relegation? I'm expecting a lengthy transfer ban. If they relegate us, City would have to go into administration...considering the amount of charges against them!

For me, he's sort of like Loftus-Cheek, academy boy, gave it a go and now he gets a proper chance to show his skills in a foreign league! Hopefully, he does well at Atletico and shows why he should be around the English national team squad.

Hopefully it is like the Livramento deal to Southampton...which helped us get 20% (iirc) of his fee to Newcastle

After spending the whole transfer window signing another 11 goalkeepers, we will end up with Toney as our starting striker on deadline day and then the club will announce a shirt sponsorship with a betting firm on the same day 😆

The fact that we paid 60 million for a player as raw as Mudryk... He was never worth half that amount. Not too different from Caicedo or Enzo, neither player was worth anywhere near 100 million.

The weirdest part is, if we're giving out PSR favors, at least get someone in return who can fill a position of need (like CB). We don't need Kellyman as there is enough attacking talent at the club already (not to mention the two South American kids coming next year).

Arteta arguably has the best defensive lineup in the PL. Saliba - Gabriel, Calafiori and they also have Timber waiting in the wings. Compare that to Chelsea and we missed out massively, we had a chance to go and get a quality CB to fill the Silva void but the club decided that Tosin was enough.

The interest in Gomez doesn't even make sense....if we're going for a new CB, it should be Chalobah + cash for Guehi.

This is just Atletico f*cking around with us because we decided not to proceed with Samu.

You realise that Reece is still at the club, injured or not 😆 Chilwell is a decent player but he must be horrible in training for Maresca to come out and say that he should look elsewhere.
