Absolute piss take offering just 30m.... it's because they know we are dumb enough to accept such ridiculous bids for our players.

But we rejected it.... 🤣

To be fair that is almost a club record for them. My guess is they are trying to show Colwill they want him more than us and turn his head.

Regarding Colwill, I’m sure all of you here also follow Liam Twomey on Twitter and he does raise the concern I’ve also expressed. We’ve spent an absolute fortune on CB’s this last 12 months including 2 that play in the exact sort of area Colwill does. One of which is just barely older than Levi and is very promising in Badiashile. 

So it’s a real headache if you’re Poch deciding which of these players starts in a season where you would have to assume rotation will be much rarer since we aren’t in Europe. And you can understand why Colwill may be hesitant to return. Badiashile is just 22 and is starting material with lots of potential. KK is at an age and on wages that make it a total waste to have rotting on the bench every week. But he has already expressed his desire to stay at Chelsea and make up for a poor season. 

The best solution for us is of course to move KK on but I don’t see how at the moment. 

At least 2 CBs need to go, and unfortunately one of them has to be Chalobah.

chalobah needs to go

Is this unfortunately only because he is from Cobham?

Has he not been a good squad player these past 2 seasons? Seems fine with his role as well, can also be an emergency RB. 

Given a back 4 is now on the horizon, would've made a lot more sense to part ways with Silva and try and offload Koulibaly. 

[Pizy 18,368]

Not that I rate Trev particularly highly, but it’s probably best he stays. Azpi is totally spent and Fofana is injured a lot. We need someone who can reliably fill in on that right side. With Silva and Azpi both leaving following this next season we may need Trev.

Koulibaly is the only one of our CB’s that doesn’t have an obvious role unless Silva gets a big injury and Poch is playing 3 at the back. That middle CB position is the only place I somewhat trust him in at this point.

Which came as an absolute shock to be honest. I wouldn't be at all surprised if we had turned it down and said we wanted 20m instead.

[DDA 9,690]

Inter are pushing to buy Trev.

Serious outgoings man... I like it.

Not just that but a lot of it is deadwood.

Who will replace Benzema?

Having TOO many squad players is a big reason why we're in this mess. Parting ways with the expendable is what is required.

Probably Firmino or Joselu. They aren't going to buy anyone of note that will potentially block Endrick down the line.

We have too many CB anyway. Should also sell KK. 

Silva, Fofana, Badia, Colwill is enough for a back 4

They should get Kane. He is old enough. 

[Pizy 18,368]

Firmino has looked dead at Liverpool for ages. Could hardly get a game for them. But he’s good enough for Real Madrid? What a weird transfer that would be.

[Gundalf 804]

Targeted at MM?
