Matt Law reported the price is the stumbling block, stop this already, reputable people have already said were in for him.

LOL No one is saying we aren't interested but being interested and actually making a move and bidding for the player are two completely different things.

Wait, this is very familiar. Didn't this happen with Ziyech back in January?

Did that Ziyech deal not happen out of the blue? I remember Lampard saying generic stuff about other transfer rumors back then - like now - and nothing happened then but I don't recall anything on Ziyech. Could be wrong.

What's he like? I've only watched him a handful of times. He was fantastic one game and extremely rash the other times. Is he decent?

He is very low IQ CB just like what we already have.

Yes it did. This is how we operate.

Regarding Havertz I believe no one made offer yet. Situation with him will be resolved after season is finished.

You think that Lamps would say in a press conference that Chelsea made a bid on a player?

I don't think he would outright lie. His comment obviously does not rule out a bid being made at some point but it firmly rules out that one had been made up to the time of his press conference earlier today.

If we are going to go in, presumably we'll do so once B04's Champions League fate has been settled.

If that's the case, then gotta wait until August...

Think Lampard truely wants to play in a Leipzig system which is 4-2-2-2 with Havertz, Ziyech as Attacking mids and Werner and Abraham up top. Again, depending on the game with the versatility we have,shift to 4-3-3,4-2-3-1,4-1-2-1-2 or even 3 at the back.

 

But yeah ....

 

 

 

Even if we do not sign Havertz I am still sure Tammy will not be starting 11 next season. Frank finally realized Giroud is better and with Werner and Havertz possible here he will be backup at best.

At the moment Pulisic-Werner-Ziyech is the way to go next season.

Said it earlier, IF Willian extends his contract, I don't think we will sign Havertz.

I've never thought we would sign him. Hoping a little, but not believing.

Bayern would slap a €60m to €80m price tag on David Alaba and Thiago if they reject new contract offers [Kicker]

I personally think it is either Havertz or Werner not both. With or without willian we have enough attacker for next season.

If Willian goes, then I can see the argument of needing another one. But if he stays, then no.

Timo/Puli - Tammy/Giroud - Ziyech/Cho

I haven't added Barkley, mount, ruben and Anjorin. That is a lot of attacker. I also assume that michy will be gone next summer.

What if we play 4231?

Tammy/Giroud
Timo/Puli - Mount/RLC - Ziyech/CHO

That looks notably weaker in my opinion, and then if you consider us potentially selling Jorginho we will be probably playing Mount or RLC as a back-up CDM

You just answer your own question, that is 8 player for 4 positions, that is a lot. 

We won't move Jorginho unless we can sign midfielder and no mount and Ruben cannot play as backup dm

I believe next to Kante, Ruben can easily play as a shuttler CDM like Kovacic. He has all the attributes to be able to do this job.

I agree we probably won't sign a midfielder unless Jorginho goes, but there's no doubt that Havertz would be a step up from our current attacking midfielders and would fit into the team.
