They had to do that to secure his signing.

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

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.

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

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 27,429]

Can't see us getting Cala now

[TheHulk 1,859]

Surely Maresca will convince his countryman. 

[TheHulk 1,859]

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.

Arse are probably the worst club we could go head to head with for a signing at this moment in time, sadly. Because they can offer a player the same things that would usually give us the edge over other big PL clubs like living in London rather than Manchester or Liverpool. 

Arse are basically a guaranteed title and UCL contender next season so a player choosing them is only logical right now.

Guess the thing you have to hope for if you’re someone who really wants us to get Calafiori is that the lure of playing more and being convinced by an Italian coach are more enticing to him.

Yup. Our powerpoint presentation is persuasive but it does not always work.

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

This one is actually a good player though.

Things I didn’t expect to see today. FA Cup promoting Chelsea signings.

What’s strange is that despite multiple reporters saying for quite a while that we want a versatile left footed defender we haven’t really been linked with anyone other than Calafiori. So I wonder who the alternatives are.

they play a back 4

and their LCB Gabriel is tied with Bastoni as the most valued on the planet

Calafiori can play LB

but Arse has 4 LBs already

Think its because Calafiori is a unique opportunity. We might stick with Chilwell if we can't get him

Tiemoué Bakayoko is French, and never played in the Netherlands

4 LBSs on paper but widely suspected that at least 2 of Tierney, Kiwior & Tavares will all be available and leave. If not all 3.

Particularly given Tierney and Tavares both spent time out on loan last season. Also huge links with Italian teams for Kiwior who was repeatedly in and out the Arsenal team too.

Fabrizio is saying only two clubs in talks for Calafiori - Arsenal and Chelsea in that order as of now. Long-term proposal made by Arsenal. Chelsea are still there.
