Long story short, don't believe anything you read until you see credible sources reporting it, LOTS of credible sources reporting it in fact.

Abramovich won’t sell Chelsea player to specific club – Blues have ‘made a wall’ for transfer

http://sportwitness.co.uk/chelsea-dont-prefer-selling-player-to-one-club-blues-have-made-a-wall-for-transfer/

On December 24th, we carried a report from Gazzetta dello Sport, who explained ‘negotiations are in progress’ between Inter Milan and Chelsea for Marcos Alonso.

FcInterNews once again reiterates the left-back is on ‘top of the wish list’ of the Serie A side and they’ve already made a first proposal, a loan with redemption, a few weeks back. However, the Blues have ‘made a wall’ and are demanding €35m for the Spain international, which is €10m more than they asked a month ago. Conte’s presence at Inter is the reason the Europa League winners are unwilling to allow their defender move to the San Siro.

The former Juventus manager was at Stamford Bridge between 2016 and 2018, and after taking a break for a year, he returned to management before the start of the season. The Inter manager won a lawsuit against Chelsea and the west London club were forced to pay €10m to him. Therefore, Roman Abramovich and Chelsea ‘don’t do favourable treats’ to their former boss and his current club. FcInterNews adds the London club would prefer selling Alonso to a Spanish club, where he has admirers, than to Inter. Therefore, Inter are looking at alternatives.

We are awfully close to signatures being put on paper, and yet no clear agreements.

Who do you think is really going to happen?

I believe the Werner deal happens.

Sancho and Werner are coming, trust me bro.

the only one for sure happening is Ake, as his buy-back clause expires at the end of January

i think we might use the £3.5m buy-back on Boga as well

Isco is also fairly likely, due to the fact his price is sort of low, and he can come in January

I am, unfortunately, becoming doubtful atm that we land Werner or Sancho, especially now and probably miss out in the summer as well

I do not think Werner wants to leave in January and I doubt we will match the salaries that other big clubs will offer

another huge problem is if we miss out on the CL

that will hurt us with all big players, including, I also truly fear, Chilwell, as Leicester, barring a collapse, will surely have CL football

I think the club will end up just making a move for Zaha rather than roll the dice on missing out on Sancho

I do not see us buying both

IF we do miss out on Chilwell, there are very little options left to us other than Telles who I still see no links to and then Grimaldo , who is quite expensive at a 60m euro release clause and not worth that IMHO

Gaya is crazy-priced, 100m euro RC

so be prepared to have the same LB's we do now, as we will not sell either unless we have a replacement or 2, if both are sold

in terms of CF's, if not Werner, then who knows, we will either just stupidly keeps Bats, or roll the dice on some ATM mid-level, but young player I think, like Victor Osimhen or Moussa Dembele

finally, other main option at CF would be a loan deal with option to buy for Jovic from RM, which is probably a good deal for us

 

I see no real links atm to 3 young left-footed attacking players with HUGE potential I personally would be looking hard at

Dejan Kulusevski, left-footed, 19yo, 20 in April, 1.86m Swedish RWer/SS on loan at Parma from Atalanta

Nicolò Zaniolo, 20yo, left footed 1.90m  Italian AMF/RW'er from Roma

Dominik Szoboszlai, 19yo, left-footed 1.86m Hungarian AMF/LMF/CMF/LWB from RB Salzburg

we need to see how RLC recovers from his injury, but his was worse than CHO's, and CHO atm is a mess, so my fingers are crossed

and we need left-footed players for balance

Werner & Ake for this January I would be extremely satisfied, and ship out some dead weights as well.

You are seriously tempting fate...

[Fernando 6,484]

If we don't go for a top cb and top lb, i don't care about anything else. 

Even if we get Werner we will still struggle. 

[NikkiCFC 8,048]

Isco for 45m? No brainer. He's a 4 times CL winner, would improve us in a moment. We can't even create one chance against fucking Southampton! 

[MoroccanBlue 5,318]

It's honestly come to a point where we may genuinely need some panic buys. 

 

[Fernando 6,484]

With Isco the same, he would be like Jorgi and Fab. 

Good creativity but can't defend for dear life and we get trash. 

All worthless if you don't fix the most important problem.

Is Isco even that creative. I'd rather take James Rodriguez

Yeah James is better than Isco, but we should aiming higher than that.

If people think the January transfer window is gonna solve our problems, then you might be in for a rude awakening because it looks highly unlikely that we'll get any of our main targets.

Not if our main targets are Ake and Zaha.

Said this before but for hysterical purposes, I'd like us to sign Zaha.

And after what laugh at the comment sections while were stuck with this dud for years? Doesn't sound feasible.

Will "laugh" at the carnage later. Just want to see people's reaction if we end with Zaha instead of Sancho.
