Now a sensible post...

In my mind...the ship has sailed concerning Raphinha though he might end up here.....lots of quality and better attacking players are right there in the market and readily available...

Such as?

What a great signing Sterling is

No, but he’s perfect for the way Tuchel wants to play. An aggressive, direct, hard working winger who can score and create at a very high level.

If we strike out on both he and Dembele, where do we even turn? Who are these high quality and better attacking players you referenced that we can get instead?

Yeah, perhaps Sane, Sancho, SMS and Wan-Bissaka also. Still, they were the hot stuff back then and FM wonderkids, so I'd still count this as ambitious expectations (even if time shown that it would all pretty much be let-downs). And then we went to analyzing every left back and forward alive, lol

I may be naive, but I expected the takeover would either be a loud start and spectacular window or very carefully planned one, to avoid starting with another deadwood flop, but for now I feel it's neither.

Even if Raphinia is geniuenly good, we shouldn't be the second or third choice club for players of his weight, and if those statements are true it's beyond me how few people are suspicious about it. And he'll only come here if he runs out of other options, come on, he is not that big.

I don't recall any serious links to Sane but I'm happy to be proved wrong.

AWB isn't a big name under any metric.

The Sancho links never really had any substance, it was mainly people putting 2 (his childhood support of the club) and 2 (his friendship with Callum) together and coming up with 15.

SMS fair enough.

There should be no worry with Raphinha. 
 

Just from watching him regularly you can see he is tailor made for Tuchel.

Don’t understand the Mane comparison, i see Mahrez in Raphinha. He doesn’t move and make those runs that Mane makes. 

we should be so lucky to get these numbers out of Raphinha

[Mário César 1,021]

So ziyech are leaving

If we buy raphinha, I prefer that the board try to sell werner and not pulisic 

both are shit but werner's wage is too high 

[Vesper 29,123]

NO

[Vesper 29,123]

we are starting to be linked with many players I do not like nor rate at all

What about this one.

Please Please make it so

Chelsea have been informed that Bayern could make France defender Dayot Upamecano, 23, available if De Ligt joins the Bundesliga champions. (90 Min)

[Artandur 939]

Guys can we stop with Upamecano, he wasnt even linked with us. It was just one german report saying he might become available and then others instantly denying it. There is nothing here. And he was shit last season anyways

It's only the De Ligt alternatives. So far - Sterling in, Ake close. De Ligt, Raphinha in play. That's 4/6 of the targets

2 others will be back up keeper and backup wingback. Looks good to me. 

[ZAPHOD2319 4,534]

Whoa boy, Ake for Kounde. Our fan base, especially Chelsea Twitter, will get ugly over this.
