Chelsea Transfers

so you tell me that there is a chance ? 
If we made 80m£ bid we actually get him 🤔

So that confirms that Ben Jacobs is definitely clued in and reliable when it comes to Leicester and Chelsea, I guess.

Can see Gallagher going out on loan at the end of the window if we get De Jong. 

Presumably, our starting pivot would then be De Jong and Kovacic. Jorginho will be rotated and Kante will be used sparingly. Chukwuemeka will also be used to provide fresh legs and start against bottom half sides. 

5 midfielders for 2 spots is fine. 6 is just overkill.

Unfortunately going by TTs words and actions he's acting like it's still 2017 where Kante is concerned.

What more should Gallagher be doing to get a shot here? If De Jong comes in, club should sell Jorginho ideally.

Gallagher should rotate with Mount not the deeper midfielders. Don’t see why a potential De Jong arrival would impact him at all. It’s Jorginho and Kante that would be seeing their game time reduced.

we need to sell jorginho

he was awful against everton and is lack of intensity and pace hurt us

If this is the case, it makes sense that so many wingers are moving on. But Gallagher was used in the pivot in pre-season

Fofana gone from not for sale to we have rejected two bids and not looking to sell

I agree but Gallagher was never used there only in the pivot.

Kante missed several of the preseason matches and didn’t Kova? Maybe TT was just trying him deeper?

Yeah,i think i mentioned that maybe last week. Although i do think occassionally he could play in the 2 (especially if we build an elite back 3 and in games against lesser teams) also i expect we will see some 4-3-3 and other formations depending on the opponents. But still probably atleast until January (e.g after the WC) Conor may push for a loan exit not to risk his place in the WC squad.

if we sign PEA then maybe Kai moves to some times on the sides of the front 3.We can guess how players are going to be used but really aint gonna find out for a few months.

Re. De Jong i also think he will stay.

 

but I also think we know exactly what barca want, and will slap the bid in soon as he leans towards leaving

I have no idea why we haven't pulled the trigger on Maehle . A far better option than both of them & would cost less.

this!

Kante has looked great when he has played

very impressed

Would’ve been amazing to see Fofana in in time to play Spuds. Having him and Koulibaly manhandle Kane and Son and making freshly arrogant Spud supporters rethink their “we can win the league” predictions.

Now it’s likely to be Azpi starting at CB again who the Spuds players will really fancy themselves against.
