• Riccardo Calafiori to Chelsea would cost €45-50m - more info in today’s edition of Fabrizio Romano’s exclusive column.

• Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall: “It is amazing to be sitting here as a Chelsea player. This is a club people grow up watching and hoping to one day play for, so it is a privilege to be here. I’m really excited to get going and can’t wait to show everybody what I can do.”

• Carney Chukwuemeka’s contract includes a £40m release clause. Chelsea insist on their position not to allow the talented midfielder to leave on loan. Every approach over a potential loan in recent months has been rejected so far.

• Chelsea have no plan to include Nicolas Jackson into any negotiation as he’s considered an important part of their project. Jackson is also very happy at Chelsea and only focused on his current club.

• Armando Broja: “It’s true, I have offers from Serie A, Bundesliga and Premier League”. “Staying at Chelsea? It is an option; I still have a contract here.” The expectation remains for Broja to leave Chelsea on a permanent transfer this summer.

They had to do that to secure his signing.

They'll take one look at him and loan him. Will sign a striker. 

Well the issue is international loans limit. I honestly don't think he'll be loaned aboard unless someone offers guaranteed playing time and a reasonable loan fee. Maybe a Championship loan? 

However, in a season where we may play 80 games, 3 CF's isn't unlikely- especially as the level is Conference League grpup and Carabao for the excess games in the first half of the season.

There will be 4 if we sign a striker (David)

Personally I am not convinced by the links to David or David the player, but let's see. However, even if he does I suspect Fofana, Washington and Broja to be loaned/sold so it will still bring us to three. Washington in particular cannot sit around for another season.

Obviously I meant relatively.

As my post said, you accurately described him that's being low waged.

All players with name Bakayoko and from Holland should be banned from ever coming here.

[Strike 7,489]

 

Di Marzio is saying Arsenal are favorites for Calafiori. Chelsea, Bayer have also moved for him.

Robben was from Holland and ended up being one of the best wide players we've had at the club over the years.   

I get the Bakayoko hate but nothing wrong with Holland (as a development league) if you sign the right players.

Have to add - Di Marzio has been wrong recently. He said talks are progressing well over Carney loan to AC Milan with an option to buy. This story was then shot down.

Maybe that's true but I reckon they'll keep Guiu around till January and if he hasn't had enough playing time, they will find a loan for him.

So who are the 4?   Jackson, Nkunku, Guiu and possibly David from Lille (if it happens)? 

I'm not counting Broja as his sale would help with PSR concerns

Agreed but he wouldn't be guaranteed starter over there with Saliba - Gabriel as first choice CBs.    He'd walk into the lineup at Chelsea but granted we don't have UCL football for him. 

[Special Juan 28,141]

Can't see us getting Cala now

[TheHulk 2,437]

Surely Maresca will convince his countryman. 

[TheHulk 2,437]

Probably doesn't want to join Clownlake parody project, can't blame him if so. Gave that fraud Chilwell 250k a week when everyone knew he should've been sold to City the instant they were interested.
