What do you mean by his playstyle is dangerous? 

He's a progressive ball playing CB but when watching him he plays no differently to Rudiger but with less chaotic runs going forward.

I still believe Rudiger has been massively overrated by many. He was obviously excellent the last two seasons but he was caught out a hell of a lot, especially in a back 4.

 

I agree with you on Rudigar and Kounde. 
 

btw what is the opinion of Darwin Nunez?

Inter need to raise €60m+ profit before June 30, this means Bastoni, Skriniar, or Barella could be available. 

Put that 200M to good use!

If I'm honest, I can't quite tell wether Darwin just looks good in a poor league or if in fact his size, agility and natural eye for a goal could, If in the right hands be nurtured into something formidable. 

Straight of the bat, he has quicker feet and explosive intent than Romelu which instantly makes him a more beneficial option for us. He has all the traits that a typically successful Chelsea striker of modern time possesses in comparison to all predecessors such as Drogs and Costa. 

I kept a keen eye on him against Liverpool in the CL and he did actually play pretty well in his overall game, capping off with a goal.

I'd take a punt on him over Lukaku all day, any day of the week. Even with little to no detailed knowledge of him.

Tchouameni and Kamara signed. Rice valued at 150m. I don't think we are signing a DM. Jorginho should go to Juve this year and we sign a Milinkovic savic type midfielder instead.

If we aren't signing a DM then Jorginho should stay. Selling him without a proper replacement is like asking for trouble.

Go and get Dembele before any of our rivals make their move or PSG jump in him!

Gvardiol, Kounde, Dembele

Only area where it doesn't appear there are viable targets anymore is at CDM/CM

That’s the dream. Add a new wingback and it would be a great window.

Wonder if it would be possible to tempt West Ham with cash + a player for Rice. There were reports yesterday that they are interested in Broja. They’ve been interested in RLC in the past. 

If not I’d absolutely love for us to go for the guy I’ve been wanting for the past couple of windows: Renato Sanches. He looked awesome against us in that CL game.

Bin Rice....nothing special about him....

Go all out for Jude Bellingham....that kid is gonna be phenomenal...

200M is a nice budget

Wish it was net but, as we're pretty much all agreed that the club needs to have a smarter approach to the market, gross will have to do.

He already is but I have a feeling that we will never get him. I've been reduced to celebrating the fact that Liverpool will not get him this summer as had been rumoured.

Love Bellingham but he’s nothing like Rice. He’s a #8 whereas Rice is a #6. With Kova, Gallagher, Kante, and even Mount I think we’re set for the long term in that more advanced, ball carrying midfielder role.

We need a DM.

I have no interest in us signing this player. I predicted he would fail at Munich and at Swansea and I believe he would fail here. Why? He's a limited footballer. He acquired some fame when Bayern spent an absurd amount of money on him ahead of Euro 2016. A decision which was shown up for what it was by Sanches's dreadful performances in that tournament.

People who remember that Sanches was named young player of those Euros will be amazed by my description of his displays but instead of that award showing how well he played, it simply showed, once again, that voted awards are almost always worthless. The bloke got the award partly because he scored a good goal but mainly because he had name recognition due to the transfer fee and Portugal's win. For those who doubt me all touches videos of Sanches's games in Euro '16 were available last time I checked. If they are still there, and his agents have not paid to have them replaced with edited versions, no one will be able to argue he deserved the award. He did not.

Not a Chelsea player in my book. Steer well clear.

I agree we need a DM but if Bellingham was available to us, which he isn't of course, we'd have to take him. Boy's a star.

It’s pretty well known that he has improved massively since then. He was just a teenager when he burst onto the scene so of course he was overhyped.

He has turned himself into a great player in France. I’m not saying we should make him our priority but if other options are off the table or we are priced out we could do a lot worse than Sanches.
