Lyon have asked #Chelsea about a loan for Loic Remy as they consider options should a late offer come in for Alexandre Lacazette. [Mail]

maybe we should snap Lacazette up instead of Lukaku?

Lyon seem already resigned to losing him, they can get Remy as the replacement, we can get a striker and get rid of Remy in the process

win-win?

We should give a middle finger and a f*off to any clubs who want to loan our senior player, just buy or nothing. Last time I heard Lyon wanted 60M, even with Remy in the mix I doubt they will allow anything less than 50M.

I'm not sure we should be spending so much on Lukaku.

 

Benteke and Bony are both available, probably for about 20m as their clubs don't want them.

 

We definitely shouldn't be spending that much on lukaku especially if costa remains 1st choice..

 

I've thought about benteke but when he turned out flop for lvp and klop doesn't fancy him, it gets me to wonder why..

BBC are reporting that Diego Lopez is on the verge of signing from AC Milan with the announcement

This would be a very good move for everyone.

 

Diego Lopez is a better keeper and much more adapted to being a no.2.

 

I think Begovic has struggled to adapt to being a no.2 and for that reason hasn't been at his best when called upon. A move to Everton would be great for him.

Rather we kept Begovic to be honest.

Hope so, given his lack of minutes it's through no fault of his own and by no means saying Lopez is the 'better keeper' but I never get the sense our defence looks at ease when called upon.

If we're going to play with one striker, then there's no chance we will get Lukaku or Lacazette. Both of them are regular starters, they have to play and be the first choice. Our main striker is Costa and 2nd choice is Batshuayi. Only if Conte will play with 2 strikers, there will be a chance.

Interesting to see where Begovic goes...with Joe Hart on the move too there's only so many PL clubs looking for a 'keeper

Link? Can't find it.

What's our homegrown status like? Losing Begovic means losing a homegrown player as well.

Honestly i dont rate Begovic particularly highly.

if we really want to challenge title (top4 at least)

 

we need at least 1 CB, 1 FB, 1 ST better with 1 more DM

i think we will see 442 frequently this season especially against lesser teams

If we lose Begovic it looks like we're adding Moses and Nate this season so should be fine. 

If we need a centre back, bring this man back? :)

Absolutely loved RC, took zero prisoners

I was impressed with him at Stoke but not once did he impress me in Chelsea colors.

Throwing in the name just in the off chance it matters:

Wilfried Kanon

 

Left footed CB that can also play as a LB.

 

Big and burly, every bit as good as Bailly. 23 yo and yet to be picked up, but obviously has the talent.

Wasn't there some sort of work permit issues at Empoli though?

Given we're still yet to sign Koulibaly, Gareth Bale, Kroos, Lionel Messi, or Emile Heskey...

Man City away last season?.

 Me too, i'm tired of us changing goalkeepers every season.

I think he is a bloody good goalkeeper as shown at Stoke. I was really surprised he joined us to sit on our bench all season way too good of that. The fact he qualifies as home grown just makes him even better, i wouldn't sell him.
