The most expendable wide attacker therefore is obviously Pedro Neto. Thing is, I’m not sure I’d sell him either nor do I think the club/manager will want to either. For a large part of this season he has been our best winger and is a manager’s dream in that he works his ass off. If a huge offer came in we’d probably sell if he wanted to go but I don’t think we’d push him out.

This would also be dependent upon us qualifying for UCL next season. 
If we somehow fall off and don't get 4th/5th and end up in Europa next season, I would expect players to be sold to balance the books for UEFA. 

Keen to see what happens with Forest to end the season as I'd love a CB like Murillo to join us in the summer!

🗯💥Chelsea sporting director Paul Winstanley and Bournemouth's president of football operations Tiago Pinto are also believed to be on Spurs' radar.

🔵🗯Speaking to sources, I sense that Rosenior feels that Jorgensen is the one that is more comfortable coming out of his box more often.

Within Chelsea, I don't think they feel there is a lot of difference between Jorgensen and Sanchez.

Whoever starts in the next league game will be interesting.

The arrival of Mike Penders in the summer could also complicate the goalkeeping situation.

👀💥It feels like Chelsea's mass recruitment will start to slow down, starting from the summer.

I don't think there will be loads of signings.

Chelsea will be thinking about not blocking pathways and who they could also bring from Racing Strasbourg.

✅️Quenda, Anselmino, Penders, Satpaev, Emegha and Denner are also arriving.

Nothing to do with ‘blocking pathways’

They have spent all the money and are in arrears

Can Denner play further forward? With Cucurella and Hato established for LB it doesn't seem likely that there will be enough opportunities in that position to make it sensible to keep him at Cobham. Unless it's thought he could get minutes elsewhere on the pitch.

All in all, he is surely set for a loan to Strasbourg or elsewhere isn't he?

He can, yes.

I read that Denner is moving to Strasbourg in the summer because Chilwell wants to return to England and most likely will.

Denner would play as the regular left-back at Strasbourg.

👀Morgan Rogers is the name I keep hearing.

👌Chelsea are keeping a close on Valentin Barco.

(@JacobsBen)

[Pizy 19,204]

In order for us to get Morgan Rogers a bunch of things have to go our way. We have to get UCL football whilst Villa don’t, we have to hope no other big PL clubs are after him, and we almost certainly have to be willing to spend £100m on a player again plus big wages.

Personally can’t see all of that aligning. If one of the Manchester clubs go in for him I don’t think we’d have a chance because of the wages they’d offer.

But tbh, as much as I like Rogers and think he’s going to continue to be very good, I don’t really see a £100m, “he’s one of the best attackers in the world” level player there. Just looking at the current top English AM’s, he doesn’t feel on Palmer’s or Bellingham’s level when they’re in form. Again, very good player, but not truly world class.

I would say that £100m is the price for these players now though. And probably a fee we will struggle to pay. 

Would hate to see what a genuine world class attacking player would cost, depending on age, could be talking £150-175m.

The reason I'm willing to give time to Gittens is because he is young, Caicedo was very bad first season as well Cucu. 

I would wait for another season with Gittens to decide.

Yes. Had Palmer not gotten injured and had carried on the form he was in he would’ve been a £150m+ player if he were on the market.

But yeah, Rogers WILL be a £100m but I’m not sure he’s actually worth that YET. Being English, being PL proven, already being at a big club, and being a player his club will be very reluctant to sell. All of that means they’re going to probably want at least Declan Rice money unless their PSR situation is dire again.

🔵🗯Yesterday evening, something from January was clarified:

- Chelsea's contract offer to Semenyo for the total base salary was in line with the other offers.

- The main difference was that City's bonuses were twice as high as those of all other clubs.

- Bournemouth accepted the basic terms of four offers (from us, City, Liverpool, and Man United).

- The decision was entirely up to the player, who chose City because he believed he had the best chance of winning titles there.
