Both need to go, really. Gallagher, RLC, Jorginho out, and Zakaria sent back. Then we have room to get a natural DM anchor to play next to Enzo in the summer.

Yeah, in some way I agree with you however we would be left with Enzo, new DM, Kovacic (injury prone, won't be better), Kante (finished) and bunch of unproven youngsters (Hall, Chukwumueka, Casadei, Santos, Webster etc). We would still need more depth if we want to play 3 in the middle. Unless Mount will learn how properly play as midfielder.

Wouldn't even bother hugely about the buyback but I’d imagine the new regime may see that as a good idea. Same with CHO maybe if he goes in the summer?

CHO contract is ending in 2024, why would any club agree to insert a buyback clause, we would be lucky if we get any good moeny for him.

You piss off Pep, you got to go!

 

will they move for their ex player Pedro Porro now that Sporting fucked Spuds?

Is it? Didn’t realise ending so soon but even then, still doesn't rule it out but makes it more unlikely.

So that’s now all the reliable journalists connected with Chelsea and with Benfica saying a mega, €100m+ offer has been officially submitted after Ornstein just tweeted. 

We’ve done everything we can do on our side at this point. We really want the move, player really wants the move, now up to Benfica. 

Whatever happens now we can’t be upset with the club. They’ve pushed as hard as they could.

Not really if we had done this when we said we would he would've already been here for sure. We decided to submit this offer 2 days before deadline when they can't find replacement..

Already got Rico Lewis and Kyle Walker there which is apparently why they were keen to let him go. More LB their struggling with although Ake has done well, wouldn’t be surprised if they prioritised a more natural left footed LB as I think Gomez has struggled to convince them. But again not many of them out there, maybe they’re a bit regretful letting Zinchenko go.

we should have taken Bayern's £40m back in the day

before he blew out his Achilles

Wonder what happens if Gallagher refuses to go. I don’t think the club would be terribly upset if we had to keep him but this is the sort of money you don’t say no to. Perhaps another club or two will scramble for Conor in the final hours now they see what sort of price we’d accept.

Could get a little bidding war tomorrow for him.

He has said he prefers Newcastle, or at least that is what is being reported.

Perhaps the news that UEFA are changing the rules in response to our dealings changed our minds. We may have been waiting until the summer to go after him again but that rule change made it so we could no longer wait.

Hes apparently already turned them down. Was reported last week he wanted to stay and fight for his place as opposed to go to Everton or Newcastle.

for PL yes, for CL not so much

Right now, yes. But with the Mount and RLC situations also up in the air, it's something we have to keep in mind.

RLC isn't going anywhere on 120kpw and Mount will get sorted. 100%. 

Bettinelli

James 

Chalobah

Mount

Sterling 

Chilwell

Carney

Broja 

Ruben 

Hall

 

There's 10 off the top of my head.

Selling him to Eddie Howe and Newcastle is potentially very risky. He could actually haunt us there and help threaten our chase for top 4 whereas at Everton we don’t have to worry about as much.

U21s dont need to be registered though so would imagine Carney, Hall and Broja would be exempt and would free up spaces? Although they could still be registered if the club wanted to

Was also talks we didn’t want to deal with Newcastle for Ziyech because they are in direct competition for top 4 with us (although their miles ahead of us)….. so wouldn’t bet on a move to NUFC being a sure thing yet

Bettinelli is gone in the summer alongside RLC. Youngsters don't count and that leaves us with five and that is if we can move KK. If not Chalobah has to go. And we will have to buy Rice and a HG keeper.

Carney is not eligible for U21 in CL, and Broja next season would be too old for that.
