Vesper 30,175 Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 1 minute ago, Jason said: Frank Lampard has hinted that he is not looking to sign Issa Diop despite Chelsea being linked with the West Ham defender. http://londonfootballnews.co.uk/chelsea/lampard-hints-that-chelsea-are-not-chasing-west-ham-star/ snip And the former England midfielder also suggested reports he wants Lyon forward Moussa Dembele are wide of the mark – and that other stories linking players with Chelsea have been inaccurate too. “He (Dembele) is a player I know and a player the club know,” Lampard said. “But I’m surprised to see his name pop up so regularly when it’s not popping up in my conversations so regularly, to be brutally honest, and there’s quite a few players in the last week that I could say the same about.” As for Christensen, Lampard insisted there was no prospect of the centre-back leaving. He said: “I can rule it out. I like Andreas as a player. What I want Andreas to be is the best he can be.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vesper 30,175 Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 I can sum up this entire thread Either Lampard is flat out lying for days (weeks?) now OR most every single story linking us with every player we have been talking about (and also so many of our sales) has been totally made-up complete tosh (even Ake, ffs, which just boggles my mind as he is left-footed and has played at LB before multiple times in the past and now we will lose his buyback as well) I admit, I know that often, and in every window too, so much of the press speculation is rot but I never have seen it to this level before, where it is looking like it ALL was fantasyland spew Really makes you wonder if Sancho, Werner, and Chilwell attempts supposedly coming in the summer are pure made up pish as well we might be going into Victimpool transfer-mode (except without the Scousers' quality and certainly without their results) Muzchap and Atomiswave 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZAPHOD2319 4,818 Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 You can either use the press to help in negotiating a better price, or get hurt by the press always talking about this massive amount of money you have to pay for over inflated prices. Being able to say we do not need anyone being run through the gossip columns may help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pizy 18,907 Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 It seems Wenger's "there's no value in January" observation has finally come true. None of the big clubs doing significant (or any) business this month. Even the ones who desperately need additions like Spuds/Arse/United aren't doing shit. Problem with this is that many of these big clubs will surely be waiting on the same few top players and hoping they're the ones who can convince them to choose them. It'll be a battle between like a dozen clubs for Werner/Sancho/Chilwell etc. Muzchap and Vesper 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Werner - Looking at the other big clubs out there, not sure who genuinely needs a striker. United perhaps but they are in such a mess. Werner would be foolish to choose them. (I WANT WERNER!) Chilwell - City may be the only competition for this one and it might come down to who does the convincing better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact, United's transfer targets are probably very close to ours. Striker, right sided attacker, and LB. Luke Shaw is injured 95% of the time so it being United they'll of course target the current hot property British LB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, although they do have Brandon Williams from their academy. I supposed if we don't get Chilwell, then some here may get their wish in Grimaldo or Telles (although we haven't been linked with either of them).

Just like we wouldn't spend crazy money on RB because of Reece I'm sure United wouldn't do the same on LB because of Williams. He's very promising.

NikkiCFC 8,319 Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 Chris is clearly fourth choice now. Why would he want to renew contract expiring in summer 2022? I can see him leaving. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
