Some journo on Twitter claiming this guy was Brightons replacement for Caicedo that De Zerbi mentioned 😂

Not sure if trolling but it would be too funny if true 🤣

If true then we don’t get Caicedo.

If we're keen on a 2nd midfielder, we should be looking for someone with experience like what United did with Casemiro/Eriksen. 

I just don't see it, Onana looks a decent player but he won't be "lifting" any top 6 midfield to the next level at this stage of his career.   Probably the reason why none of the top 6 are actually after him (that will probably change in 2-3 seasons time if he continues to develop and become a game changer for Everton). 

Compare that to Lavia where pretty much everyone is keen on him but everything has gone quiet since the Liverpool links started to appear.

Probably 1/3 as good 

Am I really the only one who just doesn't see all the hype with Lavia? I mean for an 18-19yo player he's been very decent but based on what I saw from him at Southampton he's miles off from being the finished article and comes with some glaring weaknesses too. 

I for one wouldn't be comfortable us getting Lavia as our key midfield signing, just as I wouldn't be comfortable with this new French guy either. As squad options sure, but as key players no.

Sending the Frenchie to Strasbourg for the season to play under his idol Patrick Vieira should be a good move. Let's see how he develops.

Just watched video of him. Looks like almost a carbon copy of Everton’s Onana. Super tall yet very athletic and mobile DM who loves a crunching slide tackle. Does indeed look like someone who could become interesting with some more refinement but not someone who is ready to step into the Chelsea team.

I thought exactly the same thing. He is identical to Onana but alot cheaper as I think Everton were quoting him at 50m.

How many young midfielders do we need. There is no clear pathway for any of em anymore

Tbf, this kid at least is a completely different profile than any of the other youngsters we’ve bought.

Let's see that Carney, Casadei, Ugochukwu midfield 3 at Strasbourg. 

Can only loan 3 players to them and hasn't it basically been decided already that the new winger Angelo will be one of them?

This was Emenalo/Marina masterclass. Still the worst transfer window ever:

We got our money back for Morata tho. 

5x profit for Ampadu. 

Rudiger and Giroud amazing buys. 

Emerson and Zappacosta just backups, still sold for solid money, did not do any damage here. 

Barkley had his moments and was cheep but overall did not accomplish anything here. 

Drinky and Bakayoko absolutely horrendous buys. 

So yeah, overall of 9 players just 2 left some mark here.
