lucio 5,418 Posted August 11, 2021 Share Posted August 11, 2021 Are we linked with any cms? We are a bit light there after gilmour left and we often have injury and suspension there as our guys collect yellow cards. Guess loftus cheek is back but will he actually play ?

Rice, Tchouameni links have gone cold for weeks. Doesn't look like there's time to do a deal. I was thinking Ampadu or Chalobah might get the chance but both were used at CB in pre-season. lucio 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's also been talk of that 18yo Moriba kid from Barca. He's refusing to sign a new contract (current one expiring 2022) and because of the contract situation Barcelona have banished him out of the first team setup. It's almost certain he'll leave, if not this year for 15-20M€ then for a free transfer next year. If the club can do a deal with Barca, he could fill the 4th CM spot for the coming season. He already made close to 20 appearances for them last season (most subs) so at his age he might be willing to play the minutes left over from Gilmour. lucio 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pizy 18,897 Posted August 11, 2021 Share Posted August 11, 2021 Seeing as there have been zero links with anyone for RLC and since he’s in today’s squad I think he’s staying as our 4th choice CM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vesper 30,164 Posted August 11, 2021 Share Posted August 11, 2021 (edited) 4 hours ago, Blues Forever said: Roma general manager heading to London in bid to complete deal for Chelsea’s Tammy Abraham https://theathletic.com/2764169/2021/08/11/roma-heading-to-london-in-bid-to-complete-deal-for-chelseas-tammy-abraham/ Roma general manager Tiago Pinto is expected to arrive in London over the next 48 hours as the Italians attempt to complete the signing of Tammy Abraham from Chelsea, The Athletic has learnt. Abraham is Roma’s top target to replace Edin Dzeko and they have reached an agreement with Chelsea for his permanent transfer, which is believed to include a buyback clause. Despite suggestions of a possible loan, featuring an option or obligation to buy, Chelsea wish to sell Abraham and Roma’s interest is so strong that they are prepared to purchase him outright. The decision is now down to Abraham and Pinto will likely travel to the English capital shortly as he seeks to close out a deal for the 23-year-old England international by the end of this week. With their talismanic striker Dzeko set to replace the Chelsea-bound Romelu Lukaku at Inter Milan and the new season nearing, Roma want the situation to be finalised as soon as possible. Abraham is set to follow Olivier Giroud to Serie A (Photo: Darren Walsh/Chelsea FC via Getty Images) If Friday passes without a resolution, it is anticipated that their attention will turn to other candidates. Roma head coach Jose Mourinho has spoken to Abraham, whose preference is thought to be remaining in London amid credible admiration from Arsenal — but that situation is difficult. Chelsea would prefer for Abraham to join a foreign suitor and in the case of Arsenal, they would almost certainly need to shift a player to accommodate the forward. That could make Roma an attractive proposition, especially given their desire to place Abraham at the heart of their plans to challenge for major trophies again and return to the Champions League. In Mourinho, The Friedkin Group, which completed its takeover of Roma 12 months ago, has selected a manager with a proven track record and who worked alongside an emerging Abraham at Chelsea. Dzeko has led Roma’s line impressively since arriving from Manchester City in 2015, initially on loan and then a permanent transfer, with the Bosnian registering 119 goals in 260 appearances. But he is now 35 and on course for a move to reigning champions Inter as Lukaku’s replacement, leaving a major void which Roma hope Abraham will fill. Abraham is a product of Chelsea’s academy and following loan spells at Bristol City, Swansea City and Aston Villa, he broke into the first team and has contributed 30 goals in 82 matches. He was their joint-top scorer last season but he fell out of favour after Thomas Tuchel succeeded Frank Lampard as head coach in January and was omitted by England for Euro 2020. Abraham is in the Chelsea squad for tonight’s Super Cup meeting against Villarreal in Belfast.

DH1988 1,348 Posted August 11, 2021 Share Posted August 11, 2021 If I were Arsenal I’d be putting out those smokescreens as well, holding up another teams business is textbook. Unless Laca goes from Arsenal, I can’t see him going there, nor can I see anyone in for Laca, either. buy back clause I’m in favour of, who knows.

While that's probably true, why should it matter? If he still had a long term contract, the wage issue would be a bigger obstacle but nearing the end of his deal it gets less and less important. Bakayoko's deal is up next year and by now he should know he's not getting anywhere near his current wages (£110K/wk) for his next contract anyway. If he lowers his demands even a little bit (for example to somewhere around £60-80K range) his new salary should fit nicely with Lyon's other players wages. The difference in salary for the 2021/22 season could either be subsidized by Chelsea or covered by Lyon with a one-off signing on fee for the player. That's assuming Bakayoko knows his level and accepts the reality. If he has his head in the clouds and imagines he's getting the same wage or more at his next club, there could be problems. He already hit the lottery once by getting a contract too big for his skill level, he's not going to get it again.
