According to Nizaar: we are after Sancho, Chilwell, Berge, Havertz, Ake, Werner, and Zaha

This says we have £150 million to spend in January. Make of that what you will...

Berge is a DMF too, not the AMF Havertz is

I still cannot believe we are not looking at Camavinga, I think he is the perfect long term Kante replacement on so many levels

also, Thomas Partey only has a £42m release clause

Sandro Tonali is still out there too

Tonali for me is the one to watch. That boy has the potential to go top, top level. As for Harvetz, he is actually the heir to Ballack in that he can play anywhere in the midfield. I like him a lot but he has BM/RM/PSG written all over him. Not seen Camavinga enough so cannot comment.

Zaha for 30 M is just never going to happen.

I know but it was just a saying. 

That in general Zaha for 80 million is a no go. 

But if you can get Zaha for a decent price then we should take him. 

I don't know how much CP will sell for. I imagine 40 millions will do?

Give them 40 million + Giroud + Drinkwater.

40m is never going to happen this January or in the summer

he is homegrown, just turned 27 less than month ago, and is by far their best player

they have only one other player they would get over £20m for, Luka Milivojevic, and he turns 30 next season, so will rapidly start to devalue

the valuations can be translated to reality by adding 25 to 50% to get real market price in most cases

Palace really do have a shit team

if Zaha goes they have nothing of interest or real quality

pure dregs other than Milivojevic and maybe Meyer (who has been a bläääää player so far)

I was very critical of Roy for his work in the national team and use to laugh hysterically at the way he was dragging Liverpool down, however giving him his dues, there's probably no one better for a club that don't really have any ambition/expectations and are just happy getting by. At a minimum he will have them safely floating in mid table and at a maximum he will do what he did at Fulham (Europa final) and this season at Palace.

50 million seems like the fair price to get him. 

I would offer 40 million and a player. Like @Jason mentioned. 

CP wanted Bats, let's give them Bats and money for Zaha. I wonder what valuation that will put it at? How much is Bats worth?

I would say Bats is worth around £30-35m

I think Bats plus £25m would be a fair price in January

United's £100m transfer plan takes new urgency, Woodward won't be forgiven

United face new threat for Jadon Sancho's signature

https://www.unitedinfocus.com/news/united-face-new-threat-for-jadon-sanchos-signature/

Manchester United’s desire to sign Jadon Sancho faces a fresh threat from Chelsea.

The Blues won their appeal against a transfer ban and can now sign players in January. Top of their list is Jadon Sancho, report Goal.

They can certainly afford him. The Telegraph report Chelsea have a £150 million transfer budget in January.

United are long term suitors of Sancho and everything had been progressing well in terms of the winger’s expected exit from Dortmund in 2020.

The Mail reported last month Dortmund have accepted this will be Sancho’s final season in Germany and they are already looking to sign replacements. He has also clashed with management, recently being substituted early and then dropped for their last Champions League game against Barcelona, before coming off the bench to score.

'At this point' - Frank Lampard makes Ben Chilwell admission amid reported Chelsea interest

Leicester City transfer news | Chelsea can now add to their squad in the transfer window next month and Foxes defender Ben Chilwell remains a key target according to reports.

https://www.leicestermercury.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/at-point-frank-lampard-makes-3617671

Frank Lampard says he and his recruitment staff will see where his Chelsea squad are at the end of the month before making any major decisions ahead of the transfer window.

The Stamford Bridge club were dealt a major boost to their transfer hopes on Friday morning with the news that they would be allowed to make signings during January.

The Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) has halved the Blues' two-window FIFA transfer ban and their financial sanction following an appeal by the west London club.

It means Chelsea can now add to their squad in the transfer window next month and Leicester City defender Ben Chilwell remains a key target according to reports.

But Lampard remains adamant that there will be no decisions made yet about who his side will and will not target during January.

"I’m certainly not going to sit here today and go too far down any lines with that," said Lampard when asked if Chilwell, amongst others, would be targeted this January.

"We’ll see where we are. I’m happy with the squad we have here. I think we’re doing OK. My job is always to focus on the next game and what’s in front of us.

"In terms of the bigger picture and what we do going forward, of course that’s constant and it’s sometimes fluid, so there are no absolute answers at this point."

Really do not want Zaha. By all means sell Palace Bats if we can get a decent fee and sign another striker, but please do not sign Zaha. I just know he is going to go the same way as Cuadrado, wrong player, wrong club.

Camavinga just turned 17, just because there are no transfer links to him at this point doesn't mean the scouts aren't looking at him.

We're talking about hypothetical situation obviously but unless we buy a new ST in January, selling Batshuayi instead of Giroud is just plain daft. Those 2 aren't great but it's clear who Lampard prefers in the team. 

[Jase 43,479]

Anyone up for signing Christian Eriksen?

We can go for a loan for Real Madrid forward Jovic. 

Get Zaha and get rid of Giroud and Bats. 

Think that would be a nice upgrade?

Jovic you mean?  

It's not a bad idea but we would then have to "wait" for Jovic to adapt to the team, new league, new country etc. Can he hit the ground running immediately? Will he struggle? 

Unless a prime target becomes available, I'd think Batshuayi will be kept around at least until the end of the season. Giroud is the one likely to leave.
