Random Rumours

Losing Lukaku and probably Ziyech and Werner. Chelsea WILL be getting another striker, pretty certain of it. Not sure who he is though.

Memphis Depay?  eek

Crazy to see a lot of Clubs desperate for Hudson-Odoi - and Chelsea are willing to sell
JUVENTUS - Keen
BVD - Excited
Villa - Hoping
Newcastle - Ready to Pay
Arsenal - Chelsea Won't Sell to

I think Depay would be a good signing. The context is perfect, he can play on the left, number 10, through the middle as a false 9 or an actual striker. Has great movement on and off the ball. 

The best part he would come free as he's in talks to terminate his contract with Barca. Even if he didn't work out we would then sell for profit like Sarr. Make no mistake though Depay has proven himself in 3 leagues the only one he struggled was the epl when he was 21.

How many top players have we seen struggle in this league at 21 then come back and be a world beater. I'm not saying he will come in and win the golden boot, but if TT likes him I'm all for it. Depay and Fekir were the best attackers in the French league alongside DiMaria, Mbappe and Neymar for a good couple of seasons.

I know some have mentioned his attitude, but I think from what I've seen he's a very mentally strong and would be another leader in attack alongside Sterling. Signing him would provide Kai with great competition for the number 9 spot and I believe he would form a powerful trident with Mount and Sterling. He's exactly the type of profile that we need in attack very technical, powerful, confident and has a point to prove.

‘Cos there is a player there, the manager isn’t just willing to develop the player. He is a work in progress and might not be where he needs to be till he is 24. 
I hope he gets his move, and I hope Pulisic & Havertz also do.

I think the manager is a tactical coach but not much on technique. It’s clear none of our players have improved their techniques. They still Cant shoot/cross or pass any better.

 
Posted this in here even though  2 of these players have their own thread now, but this is such a great headline even though its totally Silly Season Stuff

Let's say we sign Fofana, De Jong and a Striker.

How are we going to line up? It's a long season especially with the world cup break so I can understand having a big squad.

    -------------- Mendy------------

James - Fofana - Silva - Koulibaly - Cucurella

--------- De Jong --- Kova -------------

Mount ------ Havertz --------- Sterling

Subs : GK, Chalobah, Gallagher, Chillwell, Azpi, Kante, Jorginho, Broja, RLC, CHO, Pulisic, Barkley, Ziyech, Werner, Carney, Gilmour, Potential new Striker.

I know a few of those could go but we need to do some selling if we have expectations of bringing in the likes of De Jong and a new striker.

I personally would like to move away from 3 CBs but the signing of Cucurella makes me think other wise.

 
So we have the cucu and we are keeping Dave, so that could be it regarding CB's right? 

De jong? wait until next season when he is ready to move?

Aubameyang?  No. He is a Barcelona problem, best to leave him there.  Not interested. As for Barca nabbing our targets, I'm not shaken up about it. Raphinha is solid but he's not going to set the world alight, Sevilla has always been difficult to deal with, and Dembele, meh. Either way, Barca have a lot of issues to fix, ranging from their finances (Having unpaid wages is never good, nor is being able to register players. On top of that, that Barca squad is a mess to be honest. That is our revenge.

 
Off topic but I'm a little surprised that we haven't shown an interest in Michael Olise. I thought I saw some time ago that we were quite interested in him

 
Some of the deadwood.

Chelsea could let any of Werner, Ziyech, Pulisic and CHO leave?

Ziyech moving on is now unlikely apparently.  Might still happen though.

We are still chasing an attacker/striker.

It always makes me wonder why some of these players have such egos. We have openly tried to move Ziyech on this whole window and nobody wants him, because he is not worth the money. You would think that these types of players would pull out all the stops to get more game time, create an impression and get their values up

The story makes total sense from Barcelona's point of view. They need to offload all 3 because of the huge wages involved. we should avoid at all costs in my opinion.

 
Timo Werner, 26, is close to a permanent return to RB Leipzig.

CHO is looking to be loaned to either Leicester, Southampton or Borussia Dortmund.

We will be needing a new striker.

According to Matt Law we are going for one as well. If Timo leaves that is.

BTW this is the first (almost public) crossing with a player that Tuchel has had. Maybe with Lukaku as well...

Are you sure  I thought there were stories about him falling out with players at PSG that eventually led to him leaving.

In Chelsea I mean. He has almost always left a club due to a falling out. With players, or someone working at the club.
