Tuchel wants Jonas Hofmann at Chelsea. Starting to worry about Tuchel, his transfer history at Mainz, Dortmund, and PSG were a bit underwhelming.

I would sack Tuchel, if he, actually wants to buy him lol.

He's a good player and very important for Gladbach, but him at Chelsea is a truly ridiculous idea

Agree, if we want to buy someone from Gladbach it should be Neuhaus or Zakaria.

Niklas Sule has received several inquiries from top clubs. Chelsea with Thomas Tuchel, especially, are very interested. Everything's possible in the summer. Bayern have so far not signaled to Sule that they want to sell him.

I didn't like what I saw, basically everytime I watched him.

we looked at Hofmann 2 years ago and passed, plus he is soon 29yo, so only 1 sub 30yo season left and we will get shit for him if he doesn't work out

Nahh I dont buy it, media has gone amok with transfers and Chels.

Feels the like the media are just linking us to every German player out there because our manager is now German...so lazy! 🙄

Seen a rumor that Milan and Juve are looking to loan Ziyech today, so maybe this is where it came from, but I guess that both this and Hofmann are nonsense.

ANOTHER AM/winger. please no. do not really believe that will happen. The guy is in the form of his life in a decidedly average career. Would be the most graphic of middle fingers in the direction of havertz, pulisic and ziyech. All three of which have more talent in their little toe than Jonas Hofmann.

He used to play couple of matches for Tuchel, so I guess that is why the rumour comes from. Hoffmann plays a good season in Bundesliga, but nothing special and clearly not Chelsea material

It's not just Hoffmann. There was also something about Sule and I think another German player the other day.

Tuchel has a bad rep for buys. 

That is the one thing I liked about Lampard. He push for amazing buys. 

I think with Tuchel we will go back to the crazy transfer like we had with Conte and what not.

Pushed for amazing buys but also pushed Tomori and almost CHO out of the door. 🤷‍♂️

Depending on what you want to believe, one of The Athletic's sources claimed that of all the summer signings last season, only Chilwell was Lampard's target. Lampard pushed for Rice, who like Chilwell divided opinion among the fans, and reportedly Burnley's James Tarkowski (is he an amazing buy?). Werner, Havertz, Ziyech were reportedly already long term targets of the club. Silva was an opportunistic signing. Mendy was recommended by Cech/Lollichon. 

If our history is anything to go by, it is that the manager won't have a complete say on transfers. They may get 1 or 2 of their targets but the board will be the one deciding who to buy.

All these rumours are bullshit and depressing, COVID-19 has affected so many levels of the game it is now almost impossible to truly judge off this season and part of last.

I am burnt out about transfers (Vesper waits for the sound of jaws dropping)

this giant summer 2020 spree is looking like a bit of a nightmare atm (BUT I do think will sort itself to a point)

this list is where I stand, it is short and complete and self-explanatory due to my notes and writings down-page

the following are the only players who really interest me coming here, and many are impossible

I left off many who will never leave the clubs they are at, or at least atm (like Kimmich, Foden, Dias, Casemiro, Laporte, Goretzka, Bastoni, Marquinhos, Tonali, Rashford, Davies, Ederson, Bruno, KDB, VVD, etc)

Kylian Mbappé (I can but dream, sigh)  
Erling Håland (nothing to add, this has been talked to death)
Jadon Sancho (I still say he ends up at Manure, lets all pray they also do not get Håland as well)   
Jan Oblak  (he isn't getting any younger, middle of next season he turns 29, only remotely available GKer I rate atm, I am jaded as fuck on this position, hardly any good ones at all, in terms of CL winning class)
Lautaro Martínez (IF citeh do not get Håland, sure this is their next play)
Matthijs de Ligt  (I doubt he leaves Juve atm, but he is one of only 2 CB who interest me out there, and who are POSSIBLE to be convinced to leave, the other is below)
Declan Rice (likely will now NOT happen, dammit, this is the worst thing about Lampard leaving, and also a reason why he left)
Jack Grealish (fucking sucks that he is so expensive now, and also that we even need him, due to Ziyech and Pulisic playing like SHIT)
Saúl Ñíguez   (my nightmare for him is finally end up at Manure)
Dominic Calvert-Lewin (My 2nd choice after Håland, but everton will want £100m at least)
Eduardo Camavinga  (if Barca or Real come calling, we have zero chance, and Pep likes him too)
David Alaba (95% Real bound, and after this summer, too old to buy from them, so this is it)
Wesley Fofana (see below for more detail, I rate the fuck out of him, my number one doable CB target, we should be all over this lad)
Houssem Aouar  (Arsenal are obsessed with getting him)
Jude Bellingham (youth buy, not vexed if we wait)
Ryan Gravenberch   (youth buy, not vexed if we wait)

Youssoufa Moukoko would be on it, BUT he is too young now to buy until January 2023 (more likely summer 2023) due to Brexit. Barca or Real or Bayern will snag him before then I am sure, ffs, as they have no only 18 and up rules like we do now thanks to the Little England bellends.

 

If a player isn't on that list I am not looking at them unless their name comes up, and it will more than likely be a big drop off from those 16

I am burnt out, and the only new name up there from a year ago is Fofana (my number one target for CB). I have hit a wall and see nothing really newish out there (I am not a youth scout on location if Brasil or France, lol)

I think in 2, 3 years or so Fofana and Dias will possibly be the 2 best CB's in the EPL. Dias already is the best IMHO, until VVD gets back (and if VVD is not fucked for good from that massive knee injury).

So many clubs fucked up badly (especially Manure, who thank god got blocked by their cheap ass yank owners from buying him a couple years ago) on Dias by passing for the last 3 years or so. Same with Bruno. (what is it with Manure KNOWING the insane Portuguese players? CR7, Bruno, Dias, but they were blocked on Dias)

Thank god. Another defender in the mould of Rudiger or Zouma who needs a brain like Silva playing alongside him is the last thing we need.
