Not going to give them any credit. I reckon they did put in a bid with the thinking he will be loaned out to Strasbourg, player most likely opted for Brighton. They have gutted that Strasbourg team this summer with Emegha, Penders & Barco leaving for us, and Moreira and other itching for a move away. They need to get players in fast or the team will unravel.

I’m glad this hasn’t happened, don’t know anything about the kid. Will probably go on to be a worldly now we ain’t signed him but this summer has to be about prioritising the first team.

All funds required for that.

Ah, I see, we shall buy him next summer for 100 million quid from Brighton :0)

 
Alejandro Grimaldo to replace Marc Cucurella . . .apparently. Allegedly. lol.

He is 30. Which would make him the oldest player we have signed since Sterling most likely. I do get a sense that Marc is leaving. I personally am ok with Hato being the LB, but we also need to adjust the squad.

The estimated transfer value for Alejandro Grimaldo is between €23.6 million and €28.8 million. . . .or maybe we could swap him for our current Alejandro G?

He was absolutely key for Alonso at Bayer and it should help having at least one player who knows exactly what’s expected from him.

That never works though; remember Dewsbury Hall? Grimaldo will be 31 in Sept, and has played his whole career in Benfica and Germany. Easy to stand out in a Bundesliga with their high line, I don’t think our lot are crazy.

Most likely going to end up in Serie A if he is after a move.

 
Can’t believe Real have bid €150million for Alvarez. A player I really like but no way I’d even bid €100 million for him.

Reports now saying they do want Enzo. Hopefully Athleti continue to say no re Alvarez and Real end up spunking at least £100 million on Enzo instead.

That is Perez just keeping his election promise about a €150m bid, they don’t really want him. Where are they going to stick Mbappe? Even if hypothetically they sold Vini Jnr, they are more likely to sign a LW than a CF.

Enzo is a low priority for Madrid, and I don’t think Jose wants him.

“There have been a lot of midfielders linked to Real Madrid recently, but the NUMBER ONE option for José Mourinho is Mateus Fernandes. He believes Mateus has BOTH quality and a spirit of sacrifice for the team, which José considers VERY important.

Jorge Mendes is PERSONALLY WORKING ON TAKING HIM TO REAL MADRID. José has BLIND FAITH in Mateus Fernandes, and believes his potential is INCREDIBLY HIGH.”

Would be hilarious if they signed a relegated midfielder ahead of Enzo. The fee for both players is ridiculous but Mateus Fernandes has the positional discipline to sit deep in midfield. Enzo will be a nightmare in that Madrid side.

I actually look back at KDH and think really decent player. His output is comparable to Enzo's this season,

Wasnt a bad signing... Agree Grimaldo wouldnt be a good signing.

 
Joe, please, just shut up. Don't give them ideas. I cannot have one of my most disliked footballers playing for Chelsea. Sterling was bad enough.

Rashford is a great player, one of the best talents England has ever produced. He's still one of the best that England has.

However for much the same reasons as Sterling, I wouldn't take him because he's so burned out as a footballer at the top level, he is not the right person to lead a room full of younger players. The situation at Barcelona suited him, where he is a talented cog in a bigger machine, but he is not expected to be a leader or the go-to guy. We need our experienced players to be our most consistent and our best players.

Is he even in the top 20 talents England has produced?

 
(rumour) The plan is that we lower our price for Fernandez, whilst still getting a book profit, and he goes to Madrid. In return, all be it as a technically separate deal, we then sign Güler from Madrid for below what would usually be their asking price, but still a profit for them.

Güler gets a reunion with Xabi Alonso and a prominent role in the Chelsea team. Arda Guler [21] is an attacking midfielder and he might even be a GT.

Isn't Guler just too similar to Palmer, especially in how they operate?

Unless Alonso is specifically asking for him and has a plan, I can't see how it would work.

 
A CB, a LWB, Rogers & Guler is just fine by me as a transfer window.

Hope the Rashfood & Vlahovic rumours remain just that, don’t want either of those anywhere near the club.

Having the attacking flexibility of mixing and matching Palmer, Estevao, JP, Rogers, Guler with some proper wingbacks in play à la Leverkusen we’ll be a real force.

Maybe, but isn't Rogers also similar to Palmer? How would that work? I think when you look at the depth of say Man City you could say it does work.
Get the best players you can get. I have no idea about the specificity - it is only a rumour at this point.

This, it is bizzare reading how fans asses talent. Rashford straight away will be one of our best attacker.
