Links with SMSavic.. 

Looks decent on YouTube. 

Any one watched him in games?

He’s an awesome player but occupies the same sort of positions that Kova and Gallagher do. He’s got much more attacking nous than Kova but I’m not sure it makes a whole lot of sense to spend £60m on another box to box midfielder.

There was talk of Sarri wanting RLC, so using him as a makeweight plus cash would be smart business.

You've been crying out for a consistent goal scorer from midfield ever since Lamps left.

He is not needed, no place in current formation, if we were to change formation Mount would be favored.

That's what I thought looking at his highlights. 

With Kante on the operating table week in, week out and Kova also suffers from niggling injuries, Jorginhos looking like he wont be around for much longer, suddenly we don't have the options we think we do. 

Gallagher and Mount are similar players.. both number 8's if you like..Kova and Kante also. We actually lack a real CDM like a Rodri, Tchoumaeni ect.

There you go, the only man to trust on such business. "Chelsea will definitely be buying players this summer but first they are to sort out many things internally, including that big sack of donkey shit.. Lukaku"

I didn't say he was needed, but would help address one of the main deficiencies in the squad. 

At some point, we have to think about fixing them rather than hoping year on year. I remember having a discussion with @Jase at a similar time last year and he said we'll be in a good position if our more attack mind players hit double figures in all competitions; we all know how that planned out.

Going into another season expecting anything different from the same crop is insane tbh.

How we go shopping for players:

Bremer to Inter is probably good for us if the reports of us being interested in one of their current CB’s is true, yes?

well, a possible big issue is that PSG wants Milan Škriniar badly

so if he goes there

we are potentially massively fucked

1. No Škriniar

2. No Bremer (he goes to Inter to replace Škriniar)

3. No Bastoni (not that I am now in want of him in a large way compared to other options) as NO chance Inter sell both of their top two CB's

4. RB Leipzig have priced Gvardiol off the market this summer (they have zero financial need, they are backed by Dietrich Mateschitz and Red Bull, with around £21 billion in net worth just from Mateschitz alone, and they have absolutely no FFP constraints

5. Kounde is injured, and even if 100% healthy, I do not rate him that highly, although now he may well be really needed simply to take a CB space

6. Nico Schlotterbeck went to Dortmund, ffs, this one gutted me

7. Niklas Süle went to Dortmund as well

8. Maxence Lacroix had a poor season, so disappointed in his regression, I was so hoping he would be Rudiger 2.0

9. Jurrien Timber (likely goes to Manure IF we leaves Ajax, but he is meaning towards staying due to the WC and playing time issues) is far too small (and not remotely as solidly built as the dwarf) A CB pairing of Timber and Kounde would be a disaster in the air in the EPL, especially if we also are rolling with short wingbacks (Alonso may well be gone to Barca, and he should not even be playing that much, if Chilwell is healthy again, but Chilly is not tall at all, 1.78m)

10. Almost zero chance Marquinhos leaves PSG, that was always pretty much a pipe dream anyway

11. Ronald Araújo renewed with Barca (another big miss, but not our fault)

12. Wesley Fofana renewed until 2027 with Leicester, and has said there is zero chance he leaves anytime soon

13. Sven Botman is very likely going to NUFC, or, if they sort out their cash, AC Milan, and tbh, I have cooled on him

14. Stefan de Vrij turns 31yo in around half a year, and is showing age a wee bit, unlike KK who rebounded massively this season, so unless a really good price, it is not a good deal. IF he was 25, 26, 27 then HELL YES

15. José María Giménez  is too expensive and far too injury-prone for my taste

 

we are down to just 3 left off my original list of acceptable (and smart buys if price is right)

Matthijs de Ligt (by far the best option left on the board, but also by far the hardest pull of the 3)
Kalidou Koulibaly (IF a fair price, as he turns 31yo in less than 15 hours, but the Poison Dwarf is a cunt to deal with)

Merih Demiral  (but he is now almost certainly sold to Atalanta via their buy option (and for only around €20m, ffs), making a transfer even harder (and Spuds are now all into him as well, as are many of the other big boys)

 

here is every other remote possibility I can think of atm

many are here are extremely remote possibilities, and other will piss many off (Pau for one, I am sure)

 

Pau Torres   (I can hear the NOOOOOOOO's already)
Aymeric Laporte  left footer (I highly doubt Pep would sell him to us, but he did rebound and had a great league season)
Caglar Söyüncü   (I am so not sold on him, never was) 
Presnel Kimpembe    left footer (can be rash, and I know he doesn't want to leave PSG, as he is a native Parisian area lad)
Edmond Tapsoba (sort of regressed a bit)
Evan Ndicka   left footer (was superb for Eintracht)
Robin Le Normand (very underrated Breton CB who plays in Basque country with Real Sociedad)
Manuel Akanji (not sold on him, too soft for my taste)
Pierre Kalulu  (another small CB,  1.79m, he was really key for AC Milan, and plays a lot at RB, this is a very very long shot)
Gonçalo Inácio   left footer (only 20yo, and was the best Liga NOS CN, plays for Sporting)
Thilo Kehrer   (not 100% sold on him, although he would not be a disasterclass buy)
Gianluca Mancini    (he very likely is soon off this list, as he is renewing at Roma almost for sure, maybe already has, just no announcement)
Odilon Kossounou (roll the dice level, young CB)
Armel Bella-Kotchap  (1.9m, 20yo, possible Rudiger style player down the road. he is not a plug 'n play buy, I rate him)
Piero Hincapié   left footer (young 20yo Ecuadorian CB with huge upside)
Adam Webster  (homegrown, big, strong, ok on the ball, not so pacey, very Cahill like IMHO, which is far from shit)
Alessio Romagnoli   left footer (on a free, BUT he really wants to go back to Lazio and play for the Old Smoker, Lazio is a very trendy team atm for many to go to)
Attila Szalai    left footer (he looked superb for Hungary, I would not lose my mind if we fail on both de Ligt and KK, but we damn well better also bring in a DAMN good veteran as well)
David Carmo     left footer (if the Timber deal falls through, Manure are looking at him, he is huge, 1.96m, but real dice roll, plays at Braga)
Amos Pieper (likely going to Werder Bremen on a free though, tbh, I was not convinced on him, but Tuchel rated him a lot)
Sebastian Walukiewicz (was injured most of last year, I am sure we will not make a move for him this year)

.@ChelseaFC have some doubts on #Dembele (but it's not a game over): #Sterling is a name to keep an eye on. As new centre-back, #Kounde is a top target and Tuchel also appreciates @ManCity's #Ake. 🔵 #CFC https://t.co/RHqBfm9DuM

[milka 3,393]

before the beginning / middle of July I don't expect Chelsea  to buy anyone
