I'd rather keep Chalobah than waste money on Guehi.

Same. Guehi is not a CB that takes us up a level which I’ve said in this thread before when we were linked with him months ago. He and Trev are at the same level so why bother selling the one who’s already here and spending big on one who isn’t better?

As I said yesterday, I don’t think the club is thinking about an out and out CB this window. We have Trev, Tosin, and Fofana to rotate at RCB and we have Colwill and Badiashile at LCB. Hopefully Hato is brought in who can fill in on the left in emergency situations. Three options for each spot is enough.

Next summer is when we can go big focusing on CB if needed depending on how the season goes.

Plettenberg saying Simons is getting closer, verbal agreement is close. Leipzig want Carney, we want Simons it's all on

Chelsea are closing n on a deal to sign Jesse Derry from Crystal Palace's academy.

It's understood Derry was set to join Bayern Munich amidst interest from other Champions League clubs, but he the Blues swooped it n late last week and are now set to sign the England Under-19 international.

Holy ideal scenario. 

55 mil for Simons and about 30 mil coming back for Carney? That seems fair.

The way things are going I would expect club to club talks to start today and be pretty straight forward and quick

Guessing that's the same reason why Liverpool/Newcastle and other clubs are keen on getting Guehi, the one with 20+ caps for England. 

For all the talk about Trev, he's nothing more than a useful squad player, same with Tosin.  Those are the guys you want as your 3rd choice CB to fill in as required. 

PL attackers would be delighted if we didn't upgrade at CB.

Chalobah is academy player and Tosin we got for free. Either way great profit. 

Even tho they did solid I think club will try to cash in on whoever attracts best offers. Fofana is clear number one.

[Special Juan 28,088]

BREAKING, club to club contact with us and Ajax for Hato, Hato wants the move, negotiations underway

Yesssss! Imagine how cool it would be to have a Double Dutch announcement. Xavi and Hato both in that beautiful orange Netherlands kit, they both snap their fingers are suddenly in the Chelsea kit 😍😍😍

Is he good?

From what I’ve seen he is still a bit raw but is super talented. Basically the perfect understudy to the more experienced Cucu.

Fofana should be nothing else but a back up at this point, play here and there to make sure he doesn't get injured and keep him fit for the season and get rid of him next summer.

I'm massively against this. I think that Tosin has deserved more minutes than he was granted last season but that is not the reason I say we need to keep him. He's just a great person to have around: -

• A squad needs players who accept that they won't start all the big games. Tosin seems reconciled to that.
• He is a calm, sensible head.
• He seems to be good for Palmer.
• He has quickly become one of the elements which bind the squad together. He has the character and the intelligence to embody the ethos of the club; to be the person who commands the respect of his fellow players.
• If he is not a regular starter then he probably can't be match captain, but I can see him in a 'club captain' role.
• He is better in front of a camera than pretty much anyone else in the group who comes to mind right now. He can develop into a person that is one of the faces of Chelsea.

I love Tosin and there’s zero chance I’d think of selling him. A leader, very well liked and respected by his teammates, very solid almost every time he’s on the pitch, and importantly isn’t someone who is going to make a fuss if he doesn’t start every match. He’s the picture perfect squad player for a club like this. 

All these mentions of Wes Fofana in some of these stories is strange to me. There should be ZERO planning of the squad or team around him. His knees are a ticking time bomb that are likely to blow up at any moment he’s on the pitch.

Think i'll squirt if we get Hato..

Disagree

Tosin is the default leader

Trevoh is vastly underrated

and Fofana is perma-wrecked and even when healthy he is not all that
