Haven't even started to think about what we need to do in summer. How to make sense of a squad like ours, where in almost every position we have good options if only they would be fit?

Could make an argument for GK, CB, LB, CM (somewhat amazingly), LW, ST...

I think there isn't a lot to be done and some continuity will be good for this squad instead of uprooting the first team with 5-6 new players.

Hoping that James, Gusto, Fofana, Colwill, Lavia, Enzo, Nkunku, Carney return, we need a LB and ST.

GK if there is someone in the market who's a clear upgrade.

Yeah, I can totally see that argument too. The main place we need to make signings and make a serious investment to improve our squad is surely our medical department.

At this point I'd probably offload Chilwell and let the recruiters try to grab another Malo-esque signing for LB. Other than that I'd just like some leadership and experience in the squad, at CB and ST.

[King Kante 1,643]

I will go early with my lists for the Summer: 

Stay 

Petrovic

Bettilini 

Trev

Fofana

Colwill 

Chilwell

James

Gusto 

Enzo

Lavia

Caicedo 

Palmer

Carney

Noni

Mudryk - Just. 

Jackson

 

Sell for right money

Cucu - I am ok with him staying as he has been ok this season, however if the right money comes in then you have to take it owing to his fee and wages. 

Gallagher - I wouldn't sell him personally but imo we need a more progressive CM and unfortunately he is the easiest one to shift. Personally I would rather shift Caicedo but I know that just isn't realistic. 

Maatsen - personally I think he would be fine as a back-up but FFP and all that.

Sanchez 

Badiashile - I actually don't mind him. I think he had just been out of form owing to his bad injury and having to play next to that clown Disaster who has made everyone who had played alongside him this season look awful. 

 

Sell at any cost 

Disasi - guy is one of the worst players I have seen down Chelsea and I have been going since 1989. 

Kepa

Lukaku 

Sterling 

 

Loan 

Hutchinson - still too raw and drifts in and put of games. Ipswich again if promoted would be ideal. 

Broja - really need him to get a decent loan purely for FFP reasons. 

Santos - needs a full season

Lesley 

Alfie

Fofana 

Casadei 

 

Buy

GK - keep Sanchez if not

LB - Only if Cucu is sold. 

CB - Would love Silva but don't think that is realistic.

CM - need an experienced player who is progressive on the ball. 

CF - not convinced Fofana is the answer so we need someone.

Yes.

I watched him yesterday. His decision making is very good. Looks anxious with his finishing. He was always very good with longe ranges, but in the professional he is shooting too soon sometimes. Trying to make an impression while he can, because they signed Felipe Anderson who will play in the same position.

He will have no problem to fit in with the boys then.

Some of our fans want Cherki and to bring back Angelo Gabriel who both combined full one goal in Ligue 1 this season. 

[NikkiCFC 8,336]

Our target Sesko 5 in last 5. Looking good. Personally would wait EURO to see how he does on big stage in inferior side against Denmark, England and Serbia.

No thanks. Jackson is way better. Would rather wait on a proper CF talent. 

Fast, strong, technical, poacher. 

If they have 3 out of 4, they are usually a good fire prospect. 

Jonathan David is the only one I would go for - or just wait. VO if we spend 100 mil - sure.

Yeah I've heard of him. Still early days evidently, but looks like he's a talent alright. No comparisons with Ronaldinho yet, but they will come--Ronaldinho also came from Gremio's academy.

Yup my cousin texted me about Estevao as he played against Botafogo SP (the series B club not Rio's Botafogo) and did very well. Not just the winning goal, but performance too.

Regarding the earlier post about valuations, nothing affects the valuation of players as not being able to play. We've got many players who were out for the entire season (second season for James), which is uncommon. I hope our physios are analyzing the situation and will inform the club about each individual case. Some hard decisions ahead of us.

[Mhsc 1,098]

Wonder if Barca will sell Eric García after loaning him out this year? Would be an interesting option.

Never heard about him until this year. It could be because he is very young but, the people controling his career are Neymar and Neymar senior. Suddenly a lot of channels from the south of Brazil were making videos about him at same time, as if its some propaganda effort.

I think nobody should sign him until we see the player in the first team.

Portsmouth out to bring in Chelsea midfielder Tino Anjorin as former Huddersfield Town man leaves strong impression on finale

https://www.portsmouth.co.uk/sport/football/portsmouth-fc/latest-portsmouth-out-to-bring-in-Chelsea-midfielder-as-former-huddersfield-town-man-leaves-strong-impression-on-finale-4616621

Pompey are keen to bring Tino Anjorin back to Fratton Park.

The News understands the Blues are ready to explore the possibility of a second season on loan at Fratton Park for the Chelsea midfielder.

Anjorin delivered a strong finish to the campaign, after dealing with another sizable setback in a career hampered by injuries to date.

Pompey would be keen to protect themselves against the prospect of another issue surfacing for the 22-year-old.

But John Mousinho has absolutely no doubt about the Poole man being able to make a strong impact in the second tier next term.

Anjorin put five months of frustration behind him with his return, after suffering a serious hamstring injury in the FA Cup reverse at Chesterfield last November.

Five appearances were registered in the season’s finale, including starts as Pompey won the League One title against Barnsley and the final-day success at Lincoln.

Anjorin spoke of his desire to repay the loyalty Pompey had shown in covering his wages during his time in the treatment room, along with being keen to return next season.

Another deal would likely see the Blues pay a portion of the Chelsea academy graduate’s weekly wage, with his existing deal running until next summer.

That contribution would then be lowered in the event of Anjorin being hit with another spell on the sidelines.

Such an agreement then gives Pompey the confidence they will be getting good value, while Anjorin is then given the platform to showcase his obvious talent.

The classy operator has been a popular addition to the Blues ranks, with his quality respected by his peers and the player seen as one of the most gifted in Mousinho’s squad.

Anjorin is currently one of the 18 players away in Las Vegas celebrating the League One title success.

Pompey know they need to strengthen in the areas former Lokomotiv Moscow operates, with Anjorin playing as both a deeper midfielder and in a more advanced role in Mousinho’s preferred 4-2-3-1 formation.

The Blues are interested in Bristol Rovers’ Antony Evans in that area of the pitch, after a strong season from the 25-year-old in League One.

@VesperI'm seeing that Girona is doing good in Spain.

Was wondering if there's any new player from that team you consider? I was looking at their fullbacks and since we are bad in defense was wondering if they were any good?
