Isn't he supposed to be "ill" anyway?

Wonder when we’re going to finally start hearing about us being linked with a new LB as cover for Cucu. Feels like we pretty badly need one. Maresca even mentioned it in remarks yesterday. Playing Gusto there isn’t going to cut it. Or will we just bring Renato Veiga back in the fold? 

Because as of now Cucu is one of those players in our team where if he gets a long term injury it really fucks us.

Don't worry, we still have the ever-reliable Chilwell on the books, I hear he's a decent LB.   He also won a trophy with Palace last season 😆

I literally forgot Chilly existed. Did he even play for Palace?

Played about 10 games for them and managed to get a league goal as well. 

Don't think he'll be playing for Chelsea anytime soon but he's on the books

I would take a discount Malick Fofana over a big investment on Gittens. Save the big money for a player that is irresistible - Rogers, Xavi Simons, Barcola

Not sure there will be a discount unless there isn't much of a market for him. The transfer speculation around Fofana suggests that there will be interest.

Chilwell is a big wage earner sat on the books, he needs to be sold ASAP

[Mhsc 1,093]

We will have to loan and part pay Chilly's wages til he retires. We gave him a new contract in 2023 that lasts til 2027, in what was a remarkably foolish decision... No doubt pushed for by Frank Lampard, even though Chilly had injury ridden seasons until then.

His career is over he's just winding it down getting all the cash he can on the way out, no point for him to move and slash his wages. There's no comeback story here.

Borussia Dortmund and Chelsea are moving closer regarding Jamie Gittens.

However, Sebastian Kehl remains a tough negotiator. Chelsea still need to meet further conditions. Positive negotiations are ongoing. Among all interested clubs, Chelsea are still making the greatest effort. So far, there have been no hijack attempts.

Dortmund Sporting Director Sebastian Kehl confirms they want to keep Carney Chukwuemeka:

🗣 “I’m very confident we can do it. We don’t want to get any worse. That’s why we’d like to keep him. Chelsea know that too.”

We’ve heard about “positive talks with Dortmund” and a deal being “close” for weeks now. Just get the deal done and stop wasting time on this, ffs. We’re fighting for Gittens as if he’s Mbappe.
