Well let's hope Cech got it right, because if Mendy is worse then Kepa then that's Cech head. 

Mendy is decent and probably just a stopgap no. 1 GK until next summer.

So we wasted 25 million on a back up GK. Nice job Chelsea

This from a podcast with Romano:

Chelsea may look to sign a GK next season if Kepa doesn't improve. Chelsea is now comfortable to do deal with Mino Raiola players. Donnarumma will not be a free agent next summer as he has already signed a contract with AC Milan. But something could happen there.

If hes netter than current backups no biggie.Lets hope hes great then we get world class next year. Still means we have a white elephant we cant shift tho.

I'm not thinking of who we get next year. I'm hoping Mendy is the real deal, or becomes it very fast.

I think he will surprise many of you. 

There's a reason Cech only identified him.

Who knows, we'll see about that.

We also identified Mike Maignan, but he was too expensive. Lille wanted 32 million pounds

Refreshing to hear Rudiger is slowly but surely pushed out of the club - never fancied him, terrible defender and definitely one of the dumbest footballers I have ever watched play the game.

As for Declan Rice - it has been a superb transfer window so far for Chelsea and I agree with all the signings, think the club have done a great job, but it would be a mistake to spend so much money on Rice, he is not Chelsea quality, never will be IMHO. I used to laugh when he was strongly linked to United and somehow pray they would stupidly throw 60-70M down the bin for him just like they did with Maguire.

Hope West Ham are tough negociators and reject all offers, a crocked Billy Gilmour is ten times the player Declan Rice will ever be.

I cant fathom why we didnt go for Martinez when we could, he would have jumped on it on the spot. But I hope Mendy does well, we badly need him to. Kepa is some dark magic shit I swear.

WAIT TILL THE MOVE IS OFFICIALLY CONFIRMED BY THE CLUB! 

[ZAPHOD2319 4,942]

So that's a maybe!

Unless Mendy is Kepa-level shit there's absolutely ZERO chance we'll be targeting another starting keeper next summer. No chance at all.

All Mendy has to do is be solid and he's a massive improvement. And that'll be good enough for us to stick with him.

Regardless, we are gonna need a new keeper next summer. Whether it'll be a main keeper or a backup keeper will depend on the success of Mendy. Kepa will likely be sold sooner or later and Caballero will be let go.

You are right!! I thought he was Brazilian. Must be the long curly locks.

Mattéo Guendouzi is not a holding DMF

My God.

 

he is trash

so is the mini thug Lucas Torreira

I detest them both

I cannot normally make such a blanket statement for a top 30 in the world team

but literally, now that Emi Martinez was sold

the ONLY 2 players on the entire Arse first team roster who I would want here (realistic ages, so no 32yo next spring Auba)

are

Bukayo Saka

and

Gabriel Martinelli

 

Saliba may get there some day

Starting to wonder if Lampard actually even knows himself what he wants...

Frank Lampard 'changes his mind' over Declan Rice after Chelsea's loss to Liverpool

https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/frank-lampard-changes-mind-over-22724927

The Blues have been linked with a move for the England midfielder in the past but may now ramp up their attempts to sign the West Ham star

Frank Lampard has reportedly urged Chelsea to make a move for Declan Rice and has changed his mind about how he intends to use the England international in his side.

The Blues have long been linked with a move for Rice, who has impressed for West Ham over the past few seasons in spite of their struggles in the Premier League.

Initially it was reported that Lampard wanted to convert Rice from his central midfield position into a centre-back to act as cover for the likes of Andreas Christensen and Kurt Zouma.

But according to The Athletic Lampard has changed his mind following his side's disappointing 2-0 defeat to Liverpool on Sunday, and wants Rice to sit just in front of the back four for his team.
