Ryan Fong 2,776 Posted August 29, 2020 Share Posted August 29, 2020 If we get Havertz, a new GK and Rice on top of what we've already got, this would be our best transfer window ever. If that’s the case we literally replace 7 out of 11 starters, what an upgrade! Lampard will have massive pressure to get them gel as quick as possible.

I fear it's overkill, 7 new players in a team in one go is too much, even the likely 6 is pushing it. Be better for the team evolution (and our wallet) if we leave Declan till next year, i'd have even said hold back on the keeper if the situation wasn't critical but unfortunately it is.

Pizy 18,903 Posted August 29, 2020 Share Posted August 29, 2020 So....I wonder how we're going to handle the keeper situation in preseason? What would be the point in continuing to play Kepa if he won't be here? And if he does start these early games surely he'll stay? Seeing as no keeper seems to be close to joining I wonder if Willy will just be used so he can start the season until one is bought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As per usual I expect plenty of changes and mixtures of players Dimitr 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Special Juan 28,141 Posted August 29, 2020 Share Posted August 29, 2020 I honestly think Rice joins us this summer. The out goings are coming anytime, and they will pay for him. mkh and Dimitr 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milan 17,956 Posted August 29, 2020 Share Posted August 29, 2020 Tbf, Rice has been indirectly asking Chels to bid for him all summer lol. Just do it directly now, tell WHU what you want to do!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dimitr 488 Posted August 29, 2020 Share Posted August 29, 2020 We will buy a gk for sure , but not worldclass. If we didn’t sign Havertz we could go for Oblak (same fee ) . But I believe onana or cakir or someone else . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tautvix 1,321 Posted August 29, 2020 Share Posted August 29, 2020 We still need a new goalkeeper... I am slightly worried that we will stay with Kepa for this season and will go all out for Oblak next Summer. If so, he will lose us a lot of points...

It is clear the club are fixing the issues with the squad properly this year. GK is the one position where you can pretty much drop someone in straight away without any real issues. At worst, I would expect a Ben Foster who, when we take into consideration all the other signings, would be perfectly fine for a season. As for Rice, things appear to be moving Wet Spam forums are currently resigned to the issue. Apparently, they all feel that it is a foregone conclusion as they need about three or four players. Hopefully, we can get a deal done that involves one or two of our players. Muzchap 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Superblue 6,372 Posted August 29, 2020 Share Posted August 29, 2020 If Declan Rice is a real possibility this window then I could see Kante being the one sold to fund it. There's been some rumours recently that Conte wants him at Inter, and I could also see PSG possibly looking at him if they know we're willing to sell this window. As good as Kante has been at Chelsea, Rice is far more suited to play that holding role in midfield that we're lacking. Perhaps a year playing that role, whilst Thiago Silva is here and then next summer the club can re-assess the situation (whether a new holding midfielder is brought and Rice moves to centre back, or we buy a new centre back and continue Rice in midfield).
