King Kante 1,643 Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 If we get Harvetz, what would everyone say we need after that? My money would be on: LB1 (Telles), CB1 (not sure who, De Ligt is the dream but not happening) GK1/2 (i.e. someone that can push Kepa - here I would go for a experienced GK). AM - Willian gets a 2 year renewal. As for outs, I would have: Emerson, Zouma/AC, Barkley, Bakayoko, Pedro, Batsh*t. Loan Gilmour (if Jorgi is not sold, I'd prefer him to have 90 minutes week in, week out - Spain/Germany would probably be best), Amapdu (PL this time), Broja, Anjorin, Maatsen.

Vesper 30,195 Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 Chelsea fans react to Lucas Digne’s latest Everton performance https://www.thechelseachronicle.com/club-news/chelsea-fans-react-to-lucas-dignes-latest-everton-performance/ Lucas Digne was once again a shining light for Everton during their latest Premier League game on Thursday evening, something which earned plenty of attention on Twitter from some Chelsea fans. The 26-year-old has been linked with the Blues this month due to the club’s search for a left-back and he had plenty of eyes on him during his latest outing. Football website ESPN has claimed that Chelsea have been eyeing the Everton defender as a possible target and that he’s viewed as an alternative to Leicester City’s £75million-rated Ben Chilwell. The report states that the Everton full-back would demand a “high fee” if he was to be prized away from Goodison Park, plus Manchester City have also been named as potential suitors. Digne completed another 90 minutes during Everton’s 1-1 league draw at home to Southampton, with the two teams stuck around the mid-table zone. The attack-minded left-back proved what an attacking force he can be, as he struck a spectacular long-range pass to assists teammate Richarlison for his side’s equaliser. It was his eighth assist of the season across all competitions, plus he yet again stood up to his defensive tasks well and remains one of the outstanding performers on Merseyside. With Chelsea reportedly keen on Digne, it was another reminder that he’s proven himself in English football across the past two seasons and he looks like someone that would be an upgrade if he moved to Stamford Bridge. Chelsea’s imminent new arrival Timo Werner would surely thrive off service from wide areas like the kind Digne can deliver, which is why boss Frank Lampard should be keeping an extremely close eye on him during the rest of the season. Here are some Blues fans that were majorly impressed with target Digne following his performance: btw, the video on the tweet is from the Swedish broadcast if anyone was wondering Atomiswave and Nero 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vesper 30,195 Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 so many other options out there here is a fairly comprehensive list, almost all are 1,90m and up not saying that all of these would work btw, but these are the best targets, some of them, and I broke it down into categories ready to be starters backup/competition options young ones to watch expensive options killer1257 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep seeing onana mentioned but honestly can't say I've seen enough to judge him. Assume oblak would be a good option but after the money being spent elsewhere and the doe spent on Kepa I can't see us spending big on a GK Vesper 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dec 33 Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 With Donnarumma's contract expiring next year, I'd much prefer us to double down our efforts to get him rather than spend €90m on Havertz. Even if we don't agree a deal, we could look at getting him on a free next year by unsettling him with an offer. Onana would be a cheaper alternative but the AFCON puts me off him.

In all the matches I have seen him play, he made weird mistakes. Get someone more competent Gesendet von meinem VOG-L29 mit Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The more I look at Donnarumma, feel he is Kepa in the making .. Maybe I'm wrong Would take Onana in a heartbeat and keep Kepa for competition ... hoping Kepa rises killer1257 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jase 43,479 Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 Mino Raiola is still Donnarumma's agent, right? If he still is, there's no way the club will get into business with him. Vesper 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blues Forever 1,232 Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 Milan almost certainly would sell Donnarumma in this window if he didn't extend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BXL70 396 Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 ManU is playing with two experienced attacking midfielders in Pogba and Fernandez. They score goals and make assists. We have instead Kovacic, Jorginho, Kante who do not score goals nor provide assists, or only very occasionally. What we need is a midfielder that can make that job. Kai is potentially the solution but he only has one-year of experience in Bundesliga. I am not sure if we need to spend 70m£ for a guy with that limited experience and who might turn out as the new Bakayoko. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
