robsblubot 3,595 Posted July 13, 2016 Share Posted July 13, 2016 I'd go for Blind in a heartbeat if the rumors - that Jose isn't a fan - are true. He's the typical player Jose doesn't appreciate: very technical. This would be the perfect squad player (the 13th player)! TBH still don't understand how Jose ended up at united - never seen United employ the bulldozer style Jose is known for. coolhead23 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barbara 15,149 Posted July 13, 2016 Share Posted July 13, 2016 question coming from someone completely out of the loop - had been working like crazy and was taking much needed time off with the family. But now I'm back home and still have 20 days until work, so it's time to get updated about my Chels. who exactly are the names we're linked to? I don't mean DM rumours, but names we're strongly linked. Please tell there are any. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't mean DM rumours, but names we're strongly linked. Please tell there are any. Morata was linked but the price was heavy and it seems things have moved away for now. Kante sounds like he is very close to signing for us, a lot of media reporting this and a lot of good sources reporting it. The Naionggolan rumours were in full flow weeks ago but that has some what fell away as I think he wants to remain at Roma. Khoulabaly again was apparently close to coming but things have swung towards Everton according to the media but that rumour is still circulating and I feel it may still have legs and could happen.

I don't mean DM rumours, but names we're strongly linked. Please tell there are any. As SJ mentioned, Morata and Nainggolan were two big rumours that have now died. Both seem to be staying put. Kante is the name we are strongly linked with night now, many reporting a deal is close. It seems we have has two bids rejected for the Valencia and Portugal midfielder Andre Gomes. DiMarzio has mentioned interest in Witsel and Koulibaly. Also, the last few days we seem to be interested in Joao Mario, with on poster with apparent links to Sporting saying talks are happening. Last week eek we seem to have had a bid rejected for Santos striker Barbosa. Reports today indicating he hasn't yet signed a new contract and the €30m we bid would still tempt him to come. The report also mentioned the bid was high enough to salsify Santos, so it's up the the player, though he is wary about game time.

LAM09 7,050 Posted July 14, 2016 Share Posted July 14, 2016 Lucas Digne is a very good player. Never said he wasn't. This move just reminds me of his initial move to PSG and it will move result in him being on the bench more often than not. He had a good thing at Roma.

Captain Ahmed 528 Posted July 14, 2016 Share Posted July 14, 2016 Benatia:Juventus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DYC. 7,542 Posted July 14, 2016 Share Posted July 14, 2016 Some transfer fees still make sense. Excellent business from Barcelona with the Umtiti purchase. At least as talented as Stones (60 mil), Laporte (40-50 mil) and Marquinhos (40 mil+) but so much cheaper at 25 mil. Astute business from Juve yet again. Loan for 3 mil with an option to buy for 17 mil. You'd think Arsenal and Utd would be all over Benatia but instead he's joining Juve as a stand-in. Crazy but maybe they weren't willing to invest in a player with a dodgy fitness record or maybe he only wanted to return to Italy. Wouldn't even have minded him at Chelsea tbh. Ibe to Bournemouth for 18 mil (!). I wonder how much the likes Baker, Loftus-Cheek, Solanke etc. would bring up. Chelsea need to get some of this funny money as well.

I watched a UEFA Youth League game in which a Schalke tean featuring Sane were thrashed by Chelsea. Afterward the Schalke coach said he thought that not one of his players had any chance to get into that young Chelsea XI. Just one game I know but something to think about.

To be fair, they have been gambling for quite some time. Especially this version of Gotze doesn't look that promising to me, think he has lost his hunger, simply lowered his expectations. In addition the pressure on him is gonna be huge. If i were him, i would have gone elsewhere, but #partofme knows best! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't go back there if I were him. It'll hurt more when he loses his place in the side. Another in the long line of players who are not as good as their reputations suggest.

JaKstone 307 Posted July 15, 2016 Share Posted July 15, 2016 Finishing the Kante deal and getting one of Bonucci/Koulibali would put back the bone structure of our team but we still need to get a FB another CB, CM and ST. I reckon those things will be done by next summer. the wes 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
