Maybe club has lernt a lesson and is aware that if they will decide to make do without one cb for most of the season, another one will get seriously injured day after a window closes, it's our typical luck

I think the question is whether we trust Thiago to still be at last seasons level. If he is all year, we are good. If he is not, we need a signing. And after his injury at the end of the season he really did not look the same.

Steinberg's article is under the impression Chalobah leaves to Inter.

Do you then?? I certainly don't.

I think Gallagher deserves another season, a lot of players were terrible last season. It looks like Poch wants him to stay, only way he leaves if he pushes for a move. Which is unlikely.

Only worth keeping if he's either a CAM or the highest advancing midfielder in a 3.

Sorry? What else does Chalobah need to do exactly to be worthy as a squad option? 

He performed in the Super Cup. Did extremely well in the EFL Cup final and put in a MOTM performance in the FA Cup Final. 

He's never injured, can play across the entire back 4 (even at DM if needed), and has always put in a good shift when called upon (excluding the shambolic management of Lampard and Potter).

Chalobah is the perfect squad player, cant wish for anyone better to fill this role.

Especially when people bring up alternatives that aren't nearly experienced or expect  issues won't arise next summer with having 4 Top CBs wanting to start.\

The bloke is happy and content with being a squad player.

I was just saying that things seemed to cool down on that front yesterday. So much for that.

Levi staying should be a cert at this point, regardless of fee.

He's a liability. I don't have too many concerns with him staying with no European football to worry about, but having him fill for a prolonged period across a 50+ game season is suicidal.

City buying Gvardiol is a sensational transfer he's quality, whilst we are debating over chucking another 3 quid and a box of jelly babies at the Caicedo deal.

 

[Special Juan 28,112]

That tweet from Brighton has got the Chelsea admin lined right up if we sign Caicedo, I can see it now the same picture but with him and Cucu🤣

Ofcs hes not of the level to be a starter, but that is what makes him a squad player. U cant buy a CB with more quality and sit him on the bench in case someone gets injured or is overplayed. Thats the job description of a CB nr 4/5.
