I used this tweet, but there are several sources.

i dont get the neves signing. i think jorginho has 1-2 years in him at the highest level. .

would love to go after bellingham in the summer.

 

fuck dortmund btw.

Kante, Kovacic, Jorginho and Gallagher are pretty much locked for next season. Saul, RLC and Barkley will be out.

If we go on the market for another MF it will be Tchouameni or Rice. Dont trust any other links.

Yeah, the only type of midfielder we need is a defensive minded one. Neves doesn’t make sense. 

Rice would be a transformative signing for our team as I think you can put literally any of our other midfielders next to him and it would work beautifully. Problem is, he’s basically Mr. West Ham now and they as a club are highly ambitious. It may take £150m to sign him next summer. They lose him and it not only sends a terrible message but they would also take a huge step back and likely fade into midtable obscurity again.

But we do for sure need someone with his profile. Someone who is highly mobile and solid defensively but is also extremely comfortable on the ball.

If we are really after new LWB Kostic could be a great short term option. He is an assist machine.

This. Kante Kova Jorgi Gallagher Rice/Tchouameni and RLC should be the midfield list next year with the expected switch to 4 at the back

we SO need to sell RLC this summer, as it will be the last chance to get a nice price for him, he turns 27 in a wee bit over a year and 

Contract expires:
Jun 30, 2024

sell him to the headchopper Geordies, Barkley too

he doesn't fit our system and his end product is shit

Tchouameni over Rice for me  (as Rice will cost £100m)

deffo over Neves

Chelsea remain in pole position to sign Aurelien Tchouameni

in his last 12,907 minutes

(so 3.25 seasons at his normal minutes per season rate for the last 4, 5 years or so)

he has 29 goals and 60 assists

9 goals and 18 or 19 assists per full season

pretty bonkers

and he has been on some meh teams

only big downside is he turns 30yo in 10 months, 10 days

I’d be really sad to see Azpi go for sentimental reasons. Genuine club legend and arguably the best bargain buy we’ve ever made.

But his on pitch decline shows me that it’s probably time to let him go. He has always been mediocre going forward but rock solid defensively. Now he’s useless going forward and really shaky defensively, even when he’s playing as a CB in a back 3. Watching players just simply run past him without even using a clever dribble or technical brilliance is sad. 

We need a Reece James rotation option that is highly mobile and dangerous going forward. Same thing at LWB. When Azpi & Alonso come into the side we have to totally change the way we play to cover for them. It shouldn’t be like that at a huge club like this.

Hard to imagine we’d sanction any outgoing moves for one of our attacking players with the COVID situation. We’re already down to the bare bones.

Think it’ll be a silent January for us. No club will be selling top players next month.

Niklas Sule's future remains open. An extension is still possible if Bayern meet his wage demands. Nagelsmann appreciates the player and vice versa. However Sule is a fan of the Premier League and his status as free agent makes him interesting for other clubs.

yeah right

Screw Neves too. He is just as slow as Jorginho and with a lot of physical limitations.

Also has stagnated or even regressed for ages now. 2 years ago he was banging in those long rangers. Nowadays just a meek passenger. also will cost a ton as he has contract till 24. Pass.
