Hakimi has a heck of a left foot, considering he’s right footed. I think we can spell Chilwell on the left on occasion. Wouldnt be surprised if he was moved further up the pitch if Tuchel employs a back 4. This guy is a hell of a player, and like @ForeverCarefree mentioned, the opportunity has presented itself and Chelsea seems to be jumping on it.

The Athletic is reporting our interest in Hakimi. It was previously reported that PSG had agreed to terms with him, however, if we could get him I would love to see him in Tuchel’s side. Can play RWB or further up the pitch if we move to a back 4.

We would get at least £50m for Pulisic alone but I doubt he’s going anywhere. £100m for the lot you listed would be very, very low.

If we bring in a bigger name CB, I hope it’s Varane. If we bring in a bit younger option that has the potential to be a top player in a couple years time, either Kounde or Lacroix could be good. If Thiago has resigned, combined with the reborn top player of Rüdiger, I think we are ok at CB. Bring 2 of the following in to compete for a spot: Sarr, Guehi, or Tomori (think Milan buy him though). Probably sell Zouma (I’ll sadly miss Happy!). The counter argument to this thought is this: are we better off bringing in a top CB or a high potential CB so that we can better manage Thiago’s minutes

I definitely could now see that happening. In the 2 days since my post, there’s been some reporting that we’ll be after both (Matt Law specifically). If so, I think it makes our team stronger, no question.

I still doubt that we will sign a big name expensive striker. Think we are better off grabbing Sancho, moving to a back 4, and playing some version of a 4-4-2 or 4-2-4. Lukaku does seem to be the most likely at this point, if we do sign a striker.

Tell him twice!

Agreed there will be competition for the signatures of Sancho and Varane. But there’s competition for most of the players we sign. I think Sancho, in particular, wants to come here - just a feeling.

1. I don’t think we sign a striker this summer unless it’s Haaland or Kane, neither of which seems likely. 2. Varane would be my choice 3. Sancho or Hazard 4. Tchouameni been rumored for awhile, so I’ll say him

Gundogan is the only City player to have played in a CL final though, if I’m not mistaken. Seasoned pros but a first for almost all of them too.

Reports out there of Chelsea interest, and more specifically Tuchel’s interest, in Wolfsburg CB Maxence Lacroix. Don’t know much about him but from a brief video analysis I watched, he’s big, strong, capable on the ball, and won’t be overly expensive.

He’s an amazing player, but I think our chances of getting him are south of 0%. But we can hope!

VAR ain’t the problem. It’s the f**king mugs interpreting it that’s the problem.

A good chunk of coin. But he’s the type who will be good for another 3 years or so.

I quite like the look of this. Breaks me to say it but I agree that Zouma will leave - Tuchel just doesn’t seem to prefer him over our other CBs. Would absolutely love for us to get Sancho. The kid is unbelievable, and would bring a quality in the final third that our squad is desperately missing. I haven’t watched much of Tchouameni, however, he is highly rated for sure. A few of the Chelsea YouTubers salivate over this guy, and Julien Laurens - who is very tuned in to Ligue 1 - talked about this guy as if he’s primed to become a world beater.
