And realistically only Utd showed interest. I'll believe it when I see it. Seen the whole player X only wants Chelsea move or have said the usual 'Chelsea would be a great team to play for' before for it to turn out to be utter shite and they move elsewhere or not at all. The likes of David Silva, Robinho, Neymar, Douglas Costa, Sergio Aguero, Nicolas Pepe... the list probably goes on and on. I do find it very strange that out of all the clubs linked with him, particularly the Spanish giants, he only wants to move here. I mean that is surely a first. Even more so when we have no guarantees on where we will be finishing as of yet because theres still plenty of games for 4th position to change hands. Even if by some miracle that is the case, doesnt mean Dortmund will be pressured to sell him to us if we cant agree a fee with them which I dont think people understand. I think the whole 'he wants Chelsea only' thing is kinda blinding them from the fact that Real, United, City and Barca will probably be able to outbid us comfortably if they want to. And before anyone says we have the Morata and Hazard money on top of this supposed kitty of 150m in the summer, please dont, this isnt as easy as FIFA or FM, its not as if every sale goes straight back into a kitty for Frank to spend on the squad only. I doubt we are gonna sign Sancho because there will be teams sitting waiting to see who bids what amount before coming in and bidding more or offering more money as usual. Just like us and United offering more wages to Cavani than Atletico although he was never interested in a move to anywhere else bar Atletico.

I read he's a Chelsea fan, idolised Drogba, Lampard and is friends with Tammy, Callum etc. That may be why? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomo 21,751 Posted February 9, 2020 Share Posted February 9, 2020 For any regular Ajax viewers how good is Onana? In other words, please reassure me his moment of madness against Spurs was a fluke exception and not a regular part of his game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But that doesn't translate to "I want to join only Chelsea", does it? He hasn't come out and said that. It is a persuasion factor if we do go for him but there's no guarantee he will choose us if other big clubs are in for him as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think anything is done or even decided yet. The media are just dramatizing everything because Lampard dropped Kepa and it's only one game so far.

NikkiCFC 8,335 Posted February 9, 2020 Share Posted February 9, 2020 I don't believe rumours that Kepa is dropped for the rest of the season and will be sold in the summer. In fact, I don't remember any player being dropped for less? He was great last season. Was man of the match on January 1st against Brighton. If our attackers did their job against Newcastle we wouldn't even talk about Kepa. Of course he should save it. Free kick against Ajax as well. Imo he wasn't at fault for goals against Arsenal and outrage on here was crazy after the game. We have much bigger problems than Kepa. FBs, CBs, lack of creativity, finishing...

NikkiCFC 8,335 Posted February 9, 2020 Share Posted February 9, 2020 Focus is on offensive players naturally but every great team is based on good defence. It's crazy if we go into next season with same 4 CBs. Zouma and Christensen are not good enough. Frank saying he's happy with them is a concern for me. Two names I would like to suggest: Nunez Unai from Bilbao (City bound) Luiz Felipe from Lazio. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's pretty clearly Lampard can't change the whole team in one summer, so I assume we will let the central defense the same and work on other areas to improve.
