Reddish-Blue

The Bayern fans want him to stay because he's like their cheerleader/good squad player (aka Mikel for us). Chelsea fans don't want him because he's rubbish defensively. If we're really desperate for a wingback, there's a french international guy available on a free...

How do you undergo a medical if the club is still trying to convince you?

I wish we could get our business done in early July for once! Maybe that's why there was a post of Conte in Italy, he knows the club isn't signing anyone important

He's not a cancer. His ego just needs to be managed.

Typical Daniel Levy. Doesn't let his manager down. Aurier, Barkley and Llorente to be holding up Spurs jerseys by the end of deadline day. I miss the days of Kenyon at Chelsea

You have to question. Is the board blind or something? You can't play PL + UCL football at a high level with 15 first team players.

Forget about Drinkwater We're getting a French international-level fullback with 65 caps to his name on a free transfer!

It'll sum up our transfer window. Spurs get the backup striker we need, Liverpool get a potential RWB/CM we could have used. Must be revenge for the Willian/Salah deals back in the day

I don't think it has anything to do with Ox not playing WB. It's more like his agent waited for Chelsea's offer and then Liverpool got him for slightly less (knowing that Oxlade grew up a Liverpool fan, wanted to follow Gerrard)

I'm surprised that we haven't been able to agree a fee for Drinkwater. Unless the club is low-balling them, 30 million should be enough for a replaceable player

I thought Milner joined Liverpool because he wanted a new challenge. He's never been a pure CM, he's like a better version of Ramires (can play LM/CM/RM/DM, jack of all trades, master of none).

Don't worry, we'll get that Southampton RB for 30 million on deadline day.

I think you're right in terms of Iborra filling Drinkwater's role at Leicester....but apart from them waiting for a replacement, I don't see why they would block Drinkwater's move to Chelsea. We're not rivals with Leicester and they have enough quality to be a respectable top-10 side (even if they sell Drinkwater for 30+ million)

We won't need to go nuts. Llorente's move depends on Swansea and Drinkwater's move depends on whether Leicester get a replacement. I don't see us signing anyone out of the blue.

Even with Conte leaving, Morata still told the media: “Conte is the manager who most ‘bet’ on me, without even ever having had me in his team. “I’m very conscious of that. He bet on me for Juventus but left before I arrived, then he wanted me at Chelsea come what may. He knows me better than I could imagine, I’m sure, and that’s important. It motivates you to work hard, train well

Based on the rumors so far in the transfer window: Alex Sandro - still at Juve VVD - prefers Liverpool Lukaku - went to United All 3 of them would have been top-class additions to the first team.

He's not wrong though... I bet if Conte didn't know Morata, he wouldn't have joined Chelsea ahead of other teams.

We'll see who the club picks. A proven premier league midfielder or a 23-year old who still doesn't have a defined position?

Rudiger, Baka, Morata, Oxlade and Lemar would be an awesome transfer window.

Maybe the rules are different for domestic and international loans?

Barkley doesn't fit our system. He's not a winger and He's not defensively good enough to play in a midfield-2 alongside Kante. If we're going to sign homegrown players, at least sign someone who is useful.

Wenger is probably stubborn enough to keep him and let him go on a free... Playing him against Liverpool was like begging him to stay.

Based on the lineups, Everton to win 2-1 Hopefully Cesc has an impact on the game....

I'd like to know which fans actually think that Willian is a 'very good' player.
