This is the last summer to buy him and/or Alaba. After that, they are both too old to spend the cash on. Koulibaly and Alex Sandro were the same last summer, but we had the bans, so I knew over a year ago neither would ever come as well.

Other than Alaba (who was never leaving Bayern back then), we so fucked up by not grabbing at least 2 of those 3, years and years ago.

He has great numbers in Portugal for years now. Just like Bruno had who has been fantastic for UTD.

I think Telles would be great here! Instant impact!

And is available for just 20m so no brainer. Compare this with 70m for Chilwell?

Please Chelsea dont be stupid!

Make of this what you will...

If we could pick him up for anywhere around the £20-25m mark it would appear to be another great piece of business and we would essentially have added two players who will immediately join as first choice and improve our starting XI for around £50-60m. It would still give seemingly a lot of budget still to play with to make moves in other key areas.

Imagine the delivery from the left with Telles and Reece from the right

If this board gets contracts lined up like they have for Ziyech for other targets, the complaining about our board should be amended. At the very least, point out to your ManU friends so they can grumble.

So ahhhhh, Does Wikipedia know something we dont?

Someone had too much time of their hands...

Telles has always been my nr one to get, and for 20-25m is a steal. Him and Ziyesh will slot right in at first 11.

My preference is Grimaldo as I'm not convinced with Telles defensively however if the former is off the table then I won't argue against a punt on the latter at that price. If it goes wrong he won't be particularly hard to shift with a low price tag.

To be honest it's getting to the point now I just hope we aren't signing Chilwell, not wanted a potential signing to not happen so much since Rooney.

[NikkiCFC 7,946]

Ziyech, Telles and Aouar for less than 100m is absolutely tremendous business!

Besides that we will sign striker for 50-60m max, CB, (same amount of money), goalkeeper (20m max) to fight for place with Kepa (I think he's going nowhere) and if Willian doesn't renew another cheep winger. Mertens for free or Boga to be 4th choice. 

People seriously need to forget about Sancho at least this next summer. 

After +100m transfers of Felix, Hazard, Dembele, Coutinho and Griezmann clubs will be very careful to spend such amount of money again. Also don't forget Sancho signed new contract in August for bigger salary but didn't extended it. Still till 2022. So if he stays one more season at Dortmund we will have free run at him in summer 2021. Assuming he's desperate to play for his favourite club I see no problem for him to wait one more year. In fact, he can only benefit from staying there and playing with Haland.

Why?

Did not watch him a lot tbh but...

Just 165cm.

Not good offensive stats...

Still not capped for Spain and is 25 in a couple of months. Guys like Alonso and Monreal played meanwhile...

Just wondering, if Telles is the club's signing but Lampard wants Chilwell, would people then accuse the club of not backing Lampard?

Not the best stats this season but last had 12 assists and 4 goals. He seems quite tenacious which often makes up for lack of height/physical edge.

Not sure why he's not been capped for Spain yet but I do feel once he hits a major league he'll expload into a top fullback (or a noticeable top one).

I'm the wrong person to ask as I've always been of the opinion that the board very much have the right to veto managers as far as transfers are concerned (imagine if Big Phil got his wish re Drogba replaced by Adriano).

If Lampard desperately wants Chilwell then I really really hope he isn't 'backed' with that one as, in my opinion, it will be a massive blunder even at a reasonable price let alone whatever the hell Leicester will want.

Ziyech and Telles, two quality players and at the same time saving our transfer budget. 

Is this the working of Cech?
