So to cut a long story short.

He's average as a sweeper, which could be an issue at times when we play high lines (I did laugh at how badly he mistimed a couple of them on that video).

He's okay at playing out, not Ederson but not a train wreck either.

However his main strength's lie crucially in the areas we need it the most right now, in shot stopping and command of his area, which should see a vast decrease in set piece horrors and conceding the first and sometimes only shot on target.

If that report is accurate all in all I'm sold, especially for that price. Only downside will be we will lose him for a month season after next to ACON, which makes finding a suitable back up pretty crucial.

He's very good with the ball, definitely one of his strengths. If you think Kepa is good with his feet(he's not), Onana is Ederson.

Forbid him to run and he is still better than Mount. Has football in his little finger.

Lol 

That's the exact reason why he has been loaned and now "offloaded" for a massive sum of 15m€

Jorginho out is ideal for me.

Any news regarding it?

Nothing concrete apart from the usual Juventus rumors.

On the day we beat Barcelona 8 years ago...

Weird to see a goalkeeper thats 2 footed

He's definitely right footed, but feels comfortable enough to use his left quite frequentely. It's impressive. I'll be gutted if we don't get him.

Pope 50m, Dunk 50m, Chilwell 80m, Rice 70m... Just do not overpay for overrated English players... 

Ok I may accept Rice for this price if we sell Jorginho to Juve for 50m.

50m for Dunk? Really !!!

English tax.

There's no chance Dunk would cost 50m. And there's no chance we'd pay that, either.

We are still yet to be linked with a CB in the same strong way we've been linked to the likes of Havertz, Chilwell, etc. Only been weak speculation. Which tells me it's either going to indeed be Rice as a CB target or someone we haven't thought of yet.

Brighton has the right to demand that kind of money considering Dunk is their best defender and Captain.

Cool ... then Barkley would be for 60m - 65m ease

Mount is very soon, if not already, a better around player

I am full-stop on the Mount train, the lad has completely won me over, 100%

Chelsea will have to sign before selling Marcos Alonso to Sevilla

https://www.chelsea-news.co/2020/08/chelsea-will-sign-selling-marcos-alonso-sevilla/

This is going to be a short transfer window, with next season starting in just over a month in England and across Europe.

That means clubs will have to rush to get business done, and with both buying and selling teams must get to work straight away to reform their squads.

Chelsea used two left backs over the course of the season – Marcos Alonso and Emerson Palmieri – switching back and forth between the two. That doesn’t reflect well on how either of them played.

Frank Lampard was at the end of his tether with both by the end of the season, and it’s no surprise to see the former being linked with moves away, in this case Estadio Deportivo are reporting Seville want to buy him.

That would be a smart sale, if we can make it happen. But given the limited time left, in the window, the priority is securing a better player to bring in first. The worst case scenario would be selling Alonso, and then getting held to ransom by another team, or even worse – running out of time and not being able to replace him at all.

pure family (my father) rumour, but daddy claims, via his sussed in mates, that Aiyawatt Srivaddhanaprabha okied the lowering of Chilwell's price to around £50m 2 days ago due to Chilwell wanting to leave and on the verge of putting in a transfer request

make of it what you will
