A deal that gets Nkunku out is one I can sign off on. Nkunku has been incredibly underwhelming for me. He isn't awful, but at best he only becomes an effective player, if the team is built around him. Garnacho, whilst raw, does have something about him where you can see him kicking on a couple of levels quite quickly. 

As a swap, and even a swap with a bit of funds on top, say £60m for Garnacho and £70m for Nkunku, is a good deal for us. This goes double as Nkunku is one of the top 5 earners on the books still. 

Nkunku has talent for sure, but he is easily pushed around in the PL. He is always an injury scare on top of that. I do like how Garnacho is always looking for goal. You really cannot coach that into a player. He definitely has some maturing to do in his game.

After that loss to City, I'm pretty sure the directors are preparing a new list of wingers to sign up.

That'll solve all our problems.

[Blue Armour 4,336]

Before someone brings up the Chalobah signing to try and justify things, let's be clear-

It was embarrassing enough to recall a player who they had previously isolated from the squad. 

And recalling Chalobah is just a lazy stop gap option they made in panic, because all their well acclaimed CBs were dropping like flies 

They're probably counting on Fofana to come back fit as a fiddle next season to grow into this true potential. 

Just like the almighty Sanchez and the amazing Disasi.

Look at Marmoush already looking like a real threat. You can tell from one game he is going to be ten times the player Jackson is.

fucking embarrassing

Santos with another goal

I hope our directors realize this soon.

Even when he's fully fit, he is very suspect defensively.

And he's still the best CB we have at the club 😆 

We really went from Terry, Carvalho, Cahill, T.Silva.....to relying on Fofana (made of glass) and young Colwill.

So, still not even a whisper about us pushing for a striker…

Chelsea are to revisit talks with Bayern Munich over a potential deal for forward Mathys Tel.

Can see this happening. Good player but it’s not enough.

Another project buy. The only real upside would probably be offloading Nkunku in the process.

Personally, would love to see Gyokeres come in. That’s the striker I would go all out for.

Offloading Nkunku at what cost? I'd rather keep Nkunku than get another 19 year old

He’s not interested in playing for us.. he needs to go.

Teams can pay the fee. Or offer a good makeweight instead of another young prospect

Surely it would be Tel plus cash, not a straight swap. That would be idiotic but not abnormal for this lot at the top.
