Another day, another played linked...

 

Oh god, absolutely no way, he's been absolutely shocking at Leti.

Also I know it's not all about goals as a winger but 4 goals in 64 games (his record in Spain) is shocking

Chelsea have made West Ham defender Issa Diop their primary target and will bid £40m for the 22-year-old Frenchman. (Express

Chelsea have bid £17m for Metz and Senegal attacker Habib Diallo, 24. (Republicain Lorraine

hmmm, so now the bid is £40m (exactly what Ake would cost)

all reports before said £50m

West Ham paid £22.5m for him

wonder if we end up splitting the difference and paying £45m, which exactly double West Hamäs money spent for his fee

also

today is the birthday for both Diop and Gedson Fernandes, the two newest hot links to us

I fully believe this fernandes rumour is planted news. Maybe they aren't playing ball over Diop and it's classic marina saying we will steal your top target if you don't play ball... 

if that is true and if it is indeed Marina's idea

then my estimation of her goes up a bit

that is deffo something I would do, lololololol

Camavinga is a ridiculous talent and you know what happens with those kind of talents... they go to Madrid or Barca. That's football. Unless your names Felix and they you make a stupid decision and join Atleti.

I fear you may be right, they are looking for a long term backup and then replacement for the only actual DMF they have on their entire roster (Casemiro, not a bad 'solo' one to have!!!, lolol)

I would think the others in the mix are (I rate the hell out of all players in this post) Florentino from Benfica, Wilfred Ndidi from Leicester (deffo the best holding MFer in the EPL, along with Fabinho, now that we no longer play Kante there), Sandro Tonali, plus maybe Denis Zakaria from Borussia Mönchengladbach

Not sure if they rate Boubakary Soumaré from Lille, or Bruno Guimarães, both of whom are now linked to us, and I am fairly sure they will not make a move for Declan Rice or Sander Berge.

I have listed every young DMF now that I truly rate, as Neves is not really my cuppa (I do admit he is damn good player though, just not one who I see screams CHELSEA!). Thomas Partey (26yo, 27 on June 13th) is the only other DMF I rate who is remotely available, and he has a low £42m release clause with Atleti. In fact, the only other DMF's in the world I truly rate not listed so far are Rodri from Shitty and Marcelo Brozovic, from Inter.

'He won't change clubs': Emerson Palmieri's agent confirms Chelsea left back will not be leaving the Blues following links with Juventus

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-7868583/Emerson-Palmieris-agent-confirms-Chelsea-left-not-leaving.html

Looking really likely we are stuck with him, Alonso, and the utterly-woeful-at-LB Azpi till summer, and if we miss on Chilwell, maybe for next season as well.

If Pep says at Shitty, our chances on Chilwell are shitty indeed, as he has publicly said he has always wanted to play for Guardiola, who is very unhappy with his LB's, all 3 of them.

The media sure likes linking Chelsea with players who failed spectacularly moving to their current big clubs. First Gabigol and now Lemar. I would sure hope our club isn't stupid enough for either of those.

I remember Lemar being fiercely lusted after before he went to Atleti. Didn't Arsenal bid some monster amount for him? I think United were after him hard as well. Looks like both dodged a bullet.

WERNER!!!
https://theathletic.com/1512735/2020/01/09/january-transfer-window-signings-tracker-2020/?source=shared-article

Chelsea transfer target Timo Werner has a release clause worth at least €50 million (£42.6 million) in his contract but won’t leave RB Leipzig until the summer, reports Simon Johnson.

Werner is one of the main names on Chelsea’s wish-list to improve their options up front, yet any deal will have to wait until the end of the season.

The 23-year-old is the second highest scorer in the Bundesliga this season on 18 goals, with Bayern Munich’s Robert Lewandowski just one ahead of him.

Werner inserted a release clause when he agreed a new four-year deal in August, but sources have told The Athletic that neither the player or the club will agree to a move mid-season.

Chelsea are just one of a number of teams who have expressed an interest and it is understood the Germany international would consider a move to the Premier League.

However, Werner will only want to join a club where he is guaranteed regular first-team football. It is believed he has already rejected an approach from Liverpool last year due to the presence of Mohamed Salah, Sadio Mane and Roberto Firmino citing ‘There is no space for me to play’.

Paris Saint-Germain coach Thomas Tuchel is also an admirer, however he already has Neymar, Kylian Mbappe, Mauro Icardi and Edinson Cavani to choose from.

Bayern Munich have been suggested in some quarters as the favourites to secure his signature having made an inquiry to purchase him last summer.

Werner had agreed personal terms with Bayern but the Bundesliga club never made an offer to RB Leipzig. They couldn’t decide where he would play in the side and opted to pursue Manchester City’s Leroy Sane instead.

Sources suggest the forward was unhappy with the way things were conducted and it will count against them should they try again in future.

Chelsea ideally want to buy a striker in January to improve competition for Tammy Abraham. It will allow Olivier Giroud, who is wanted by a number of sides including Inter Milan, Crystal Palace and Newcastle, to leave having started just three matches this season.

The west London club have had an offer for Lyon striker Moussa Dembele worth £34 million rejected. Club president Jean-Michel Aulas said: “Dembele will not leave because he wants to stay to win something with Lyon. There have been offers for him and for other players, but none of those that we want to keep will leave in January.”

Aulas has issued such strong denials over selling one of Lyon’s players before only to change his mind when a much higher offer is made. Chelsea know this having successfully paid £24 million for Michael Essien in 2005.

Dembele would be considered more of a back-up to Abraham though, whereas Werner is seen as one of Europe’s best young strikers.

What Chelsea do could have an impact on contract negotiations with Abraham. As The Athletic reported last month, negotiations have stalled as the England international is not only asking for similar wages to that of Callum Hudson-Odoi (whose basic salary is an initial £120,000-a-week), but he is also waiting to see if, and what level of striker, joins.

The 22-year-old has scored 14 goals in 25 starts this season and after becoming a mainstay in Frank Lampard’s side, will understandably be reluctant to lose his place in the line-up.

Lemar is another Bakayoko of that Monaco side. 

Lemar, Bakayoko and Mendy turns out to be horrible. 

Let's wait a little longer but Sidibe doesn't look good either. 

Fabinho and B. Silva are showing their worth and have been top signings. 

Mbappe is out of the world category. Last night he almost scored one of the most beautiful goals ever...

Sidibe is pretty poor too, but was never hyped like Mendy, so less disappointing.
