porto needs to sell and we can be smart about that

Personally I have this deep seated unshakeable feeling there is a world class ball playing goalkeeper out there available for <£20m that just isn't in the right team / league to have grabbed the attention they deserve yet, I just don't know that we have the people to find them. It seems like we're pretty good at finding outfield players but have a blindspot at finding top talent at CB/GK.

For me it is still the only totally missing piece in the puzzle. The GK needs to be as good as a ball playing CB with the ball at his feet and while ours have a level of competency I just can't see THAT level from any of them, or even close. And the system is only as good as its weakest link, if we don't get it sorted it will hold the whole team back for another season until they "have had time to identify it as a problem and resolve it" aka the curse of swapping managers yearly.

He has not been great last season but looked good before his injury and his height and pace have been an asset. I’d rather sell disasi but ultimately both are not good enough 

[ZAPHOD2319 4,053]

I would think Jan is the opposite of what Maresca wants in a goal keeper. As a USMNT fan, Matt Turner would be a nightmare. He can be athletic with blocks and great reflex, but an absolute shambles with his passing.

Bayern München want 42 million pounds for De Ligt. He's on 250k a week.

Good Deal for Chelsea?

Disasi,Basiashile & Chalobah leave

Calafiori & De Ligt or Leny Yoro IN✅️

He's definitely dropped a level over the past few seasons, but he's still one of the best shot-stoppers around. I just hope that we sign a player or two with actual experience at the top level rather than the running joke "25 is too old" being a real thing to our board.

De Ligt was very impressive when he was 17-19 playing for Ajax and dutch NT, but he hasn't improved much since. He is good player but no wonder both Juventus and Bayern München were/are willing to let him go very easily with loss.

Okay, let's forget about this guy. Seriously, who "really likes" West Ham? Clearly a lunatic.

What's everyones thoughts on Guirassy at €17.5m? Might be a one season wonder? With Sesko off the market, at that price, it has to be tempting no?
