We don't need competition, we need a clear upgrade. Would be almost funny if we don't upgrade our most glaring need in our highest spending summer ever. Can already picture Thiago Silva throwing his hands up and saying "oh, come on!" when Kepa lets in a bunch of easy goals. Really, I just don't want to see literally every opponent regardless of stature playing for setpieces and corners to target our keeper. We had relegation fodder and shithouse clubs with -30 goal differences coming against us and scoring by targeting our small, weak keeper. That can't happen again. Apparently we can’t get rid of him. We shot ourselves in the knee there with a rocket launcher panic buying him for 80m€ on a fat ass contract. That deal will cripple our long term plans for the whole decade.

Given Havertz impending arrival and Mount being well established that's probably his best shot of breaking into our lineup so may work out if Roy does play him there.

I agree, from what I've seen he has the discipline and all round game to be able to play in a deeper role and moving forward this may end up being the best opportunity for him to break through here.

Blues Forever 1,232 Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 Chelsea on the lookout for a new GK. They have contacted Rennes about Mendy, but no offer so far. Rennes want to keep him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Younger and better handling. Also not African. But he would be a risk as well. Mendy suits our play style slightly better with his aerial prowess and slightly better passing. We will get a capable goalie either way I think kellzfresh, Fernando, killer1257 and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueLyon 9,359 Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 If we are on lookout for new CB eventualy, Caleta Car should be serious option too. Very underrated and fits profile perfectly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pizy 18,994 Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 We were never going to sell Kante under any circumstances I don't think. It is weird how we've hear nothing about Jorginho's situation since Sarri was sacked. Surely he'd be of interest to many clubs but I guess nobody can afford him in this climate. He's too good a player to be back riding our bench. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe frank has a plan for him, if he was a little more Unsafe with his passes he could be lethal, he just passes safe alot ulsterchelsea 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King Kai 49 Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 Guys it is all making sense what Lampard is trying to accomplish. The signing of Ben Chilwell makes so much sense if you analyze what Havertz biggest strength is; late runs into the box to break down defenses. Now lets analyze how Chilwell likes to attack in the box. Underlapping with the wingers. Chilwell rarely overlaps, he always underlaps. This means the run into the box by Chilwell will be perfect timing to pass into Havertz late run. The interchange is brilliant to be honest on that left side. kellzfresh 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R2D2 368 Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 Think it's a mistake not to sell Kante, I don't see anything different this season for him even if he stays fit, he doesn't seem to fit Lampard style. I don't think Frank is sincere when he talks about Kante, I think he knows his quality but also knows his passing is very limited for what Lampard wants us to achieve. I feel the midfield will be our downfall this season, especially when you look at the fact Lampard doesn't want to play Kante in his best position, so his purpose in this team is limited. If he wants to play him more advanced might as well sell him and get Zakaria or Aouar who are excellent for what he wants us to play.

NikkiCFC 8,372 Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 Announce Donnarumma and Rice ffs On a serious note, Gigi has just less than 10 months on contract with Milan. He is a 50-60m player but in this situation 25-30m max. Mino said that they do not even negotiate over extinction. So swap with Kepa or just pay low fee. And Milan wants Bakayoko. mkh 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
