 I just read that both Goretzka and Kimmich are for sale. One priced at €45m-€55m and the other at €75m. We need experience in the engine room of the midfield I think either of these players would dramatically enhance us

If Kimmich is available at 75m we buy immediately without hesitation surely

My list would look like this:

Antonio Silva
Giorgio Scalvini
Marc Guehi
Taylor Harwood-Bellis
Armet Bella-Kotchap
still very young but a mega talent is Leny Yoro 

Zeno Debast I would transfer meanwhile for Strasbourg there he could develop with A.Sylla super Etwickeln.

pretty much agree

pretty comprehensive list of right footed CBs (I did not list former Chels)

Ronald Araújo   (hard as hell pull)
Min-jae Kim  Bayern (almost done)
Milan Skriniar PSG
António Silva  
Jurrien Timber  Arse
Giorgio Scalvini 
Bremer   
Robin Le Normand
José María Giménez (last summer on any of my lists as he turns 30 in 18 months, plus he has a poor injury history)
Jean-Clair Todibo 
Pierre Kalulu  
Mohamed Simakan 
Taylor Harwood-Bellis (IF Citeh sells him)

Edmond Tapsoba    
Roger Ibañez
Axel Disasi    
Perr Schuurs 
Nicolò Casale 
Ilya Zabarnyi  
Malick Thiaw 
Anel Ahmedhodzic 

Merih Demiral 
Josip Sutalo

We were already 1 CB too many even before Fofana. 

We don't need another CB let alone another 19-21 year old CB or a CB that will either cost a fortune or isn't that much of an upgrade on Chalobah. 

If we bring in a top CB, we will be exposing ourselves to another issue next summer with 4 top CBs demanding playing time.

this may sound strange, but one of the things I never liked about Fofana is how utter narrow his body is (look at now narrow his shoulders are), and his very awkward looking knock-kneed, pigeon-toed gait

he just always looked like he was an injury waiting to happen

I agree that rushing out and buying a CB this window makes little sense. It isn’t a concerning area at the moment. If this was the usual 60 match Chelsea season then yes. 

Maybe, just maybe we bring someone highly experienced on loan for the season if some opportunity presents itself. Someone who is 30+ and knows ahead of time that they likely won’t see much playing time.

I am super stressing now 😟

not gonna lie

I am terrified of our injury record

it's a fucking curse

Badi is injured too (nothing like Fofana, but still, hamstrings can turn into recurrent problems)

Reece has had a bad run with injuries (hamstrings as well)

and now the pressure on a soon-to-be 39yo Thiago and a player we were (are?) willing/want to so sell (Trevoh, who has been spotty AF at times the past 2 seasons) is immense

also pressure on Malo Gusto as well, if Reece injury record haunts him/us again this year

plus, so far, T-rex-armed Kepa looks to still be our number 1 GK

and Chilly has had injures galore and CuCu was shite on defence far too often

our defence has semi-collapse potential atm

Pavard makes alot of sense now reasonable price tag,can cover RB too.so Gusto wouldnt have to play every game if RJ misses extended time during season or is played in other position.

Caciedo i would put in offer of 80m with 20m in add ons but majority being linked to Ballon d'or or him winning the World cup with Equador.they can pretend they got Rice money from us,even send them some vouchers from Uncle Ben.

CF i'd only be cool with us forking out substantial fee,say 70m range for Ramos! Otherwise go cheaper option for the kid from Arsenal or just roll with what we already got.

GK reasonable options out there..

summer 2022 buy (speaking NON YOUTH) window may well go down as one of the worst ever for an EPL club, it really looks like may be the case

hopefully Enzo and Muddy and Noni and Badi can save it from that

if Rom had also been bought in 2022 instead of 2021, it would likely have been the worst window in football history

Lazio had great defence last season. In general Italians always have amazing CBs. Casale shouldn't be expensive? I'm sure we can find some gam there on cheep. 

you are the only other poster who has ever mentioned Nicolò Casale as a right-footed CB option

welcome to the club

We're going to need a CB. I thought this before Fofana's injuries. I recognise we have the numbers but we have to remember we have fecking Kepa in goal. Atm, we have Silva - who is great - but 39 so we cannot rely on him solely, especially in a back 4. After that we have Levi, Badman and Trev. Levi and Badman have looked great but there young and need a confident GK behind them. Trev, is a good squad player but isn't starting material. For me, we need a decent 26-32 year old CB who can rotate with Silva and/or provide a steady hand if Badman or Levi struggle with form (which is normal for young CB's.)
