Kurt Zouma

Don't want to jinx it but it does look like a done deal. Announcement likely tomorrow I presume.

The Big 3 have spoken

Is Guardian that reliable ? I thought Sky and BBC were more.. thought Guardian was kinda like Telegraph or somethin' .

Nah. Those 3 are arguably the most reliable media outlets in UK.

The Guardian is just as reliable. As mentioned on the last page those 3 are indeed 'the big 3' lol.

Don't see how signing Zouma automatically equates to us selling Luiz for some of you...

[Jase 43,479]

Buying a defender and then loaning him back to his current club for the rest of the season...this should be happening with another defender instead...

yeah me too. he is a young kid who wont be a starter or something like this next season. we could also sell cahill, who knows or maybe Terry wont renew? And it speaks for itself if Pep really wants Luiz in the summer. dont get why people are happy about selling him, especially as there is no evidence in the Kroos rumours at all. by summer, he could already have renewed his contract.

Same reason Mata was sold. Could attract a big fee, isn't a first choice, doesn't seem to be trusted by Mourinho.

That's the point though. He could take Luiz's spot as 3rd choice CB.

good signing for Vitesse

Good signing. Just read an interesting stat, Zouma has won 68% of his duels in Ligue 1 this year. Only Cahill (69%) has won more this year on Chelsea.

Take that as you want. Just thought it was interesting.

I gotta see that game

Picture looks real but seen a few people saying its fake. Not sure on this one tbh because when Schwarzer signed pics of him leaked before there was an announcement.

[The Mak 4,459]

Looks like he did pretty well against Ibrahimovic & Cavani, and that's a good enough measurement for me!

0.32-0.42 = WHAT?!

[lionsden 4,689]

I don't mind the look of Cahill, Omeruo, Zouma and Ivanovic as our CB's going forward. Perfect blend of youth and experience

[iseah100 5,612]

Matic, Zouma, and Salah. Now if we can get Shaw this will be an amazing transfer window.

Exactly!

We are in need of a defender, even without selling D. Luiz...
