Would be an awesome window if we get these players (no mahrez/barkley, Conti for RWB though).

Also sell: Costa (30mil), traore (15mil), MVG (8mil), Pasalic (7mil), Cuadrado (20mil), Begovic  (10mil), Atsu (6mil)

Squad:

Gk- Tibo, Caballero, Eduardo

CBs: GC, DL, Azpi, Zouma, Ake, Christensen

RWB: Conti, Moses

LWB: Sandro, Alonso

CM: Matic, Cesc, Kante, Bakayoko, Nat/Baker

Wingers: Hazard, Willian, Pedro, Musonda

ST: Lukaku, Michy, ?

The lack of homegrown players kind of forces our hand towards certain type of players and lukaku is key as he is homegrown.

Gutted that we have a 3rd GK which is non-HG. Would save a massive spot.

Thought we sold cuadrado? 30 for costs is crazy low other that that would be good window although I'm not a Lukaku advocate I think he will score a bag of goals for us, I need a good CB added to that though and I'm sure conte wants one

Wow. What a terrible list. Seriously, these are all second tier players. Can you see Manchester United signing these players, Man City? Not to mention Bayern, Barcelona? These are Arsenal/Tottenham type of signings.

We are champions of England ffs, we should be chasing the very best there are. There are at least 5 available top class strikers better than Lukaku. Or Mahrez, Barkley??? Seriously?

All good players and what we need, not a Lukaku fan and mahrez/Barkley are just gambles but could work well if deployed right. Also Sandro second tier? Try best LB in the world possibly, would be a good window

Ya. It was a bit like my expectations of all we will sell (atsu, begovic included). 

I dont think we are in a position to be calling the shots on costa.

Conti's agent said he's going to Milan. Hope we're in for Aurier or Fabinho for that right side.

No way are Monaco letting their CM pairing go to us in 1 transfer window without fleecing us in the process

True

Can you imagine how frustrating it would be being a Monaco fan. They have 1 good season and all the worlds rich clubs swarm in like piranhas and buy most of their team. All good the club owners making a killing, but the fans must feel mugged off. 

They were probably expecting it.

Didn't their owner basically admit this was their business model now, bring through youth to sell on?

We will lose money but supply and demand a club hears a top striker going cheap will try and outbid each other, even clubs that don't need a striker would bite your hand off for Costa at 30 mil so we still have a bit of room, we could always refuse to sell him and see what happens if he is disruptive out him with the under 23's, we will get less for him but aren't completely vulnerable he is a top striker, in a crazy market.

I would not let someone like Costa's attitude go anywhere near the youngsters.

We will see how much he goes for. Dont expect it to be much. 40 is the max I expect.

Yea I think about 40 we should have got 55

Monaco is rich as f**k.

Not any more.

We have deffo bought Lukaku Everton have signed a striker from Malaga and apparently had 30 mil accepted for dembelle from Celtic

Since the owner's divorce, nope. Plus their stadium can only seat 18k people and their fans turnout average is approx. 8k people. Being a feeder club is all they can be at the moment.

 

To put in perspective, the population of Monaco is around 37,600 people as of 2015.

Numbers of fans have little to do with anything if the club have a cash rich owner or owners. Look at Chinese and other Asian teams who can pay 300k a week without batting an eyelid.

I said that in relation to Monaco not being a rich club nowadays. I agree with you but Monaco stopped being a club that can shell out big prices since the owner's divorce.

Plus having a rich owner doesn't mean you can circumvent FFP enough to consistently purchase overpriced players

(Metro)
Chelsea have approached Sevilla over a move for Sergio Rico in the summer transfer window, according to reports in Spain.
Rico has made 128 appearances for Sevilla since breaking into the first-team back in 2014 but the 23-year-old goalkeeper is being linked with a switch to Stamford Bridge ahead of the 2017/18 campaign.
Marca suggest the Blues have asked about the availability of the young shot-stopper, with Antonio Conte on the hunt for a new ‘keeper in the coming months.
Asmir Begovic completed a move to Bournemouth last month and the Premier League champions are scouring the market for the Bosnian’s possible replacement.
Chelsea have asked La Liga club about surprise transfer move for £26m star
Rico, however, has a £26million release clause in his contract at the Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan Stadium so a deal for the Spain international will not come cheap.
Thibaut Courtois is expected to stay on with Chelsea next season which means Rico would likely arrive at Stamford Bridge as the second-choice ‘keeper.

I don't necessarily agree with young keepers because he'll hardly play and if he's good enough to replace Courtois then I can only see it being another Courtois-Cech situation all over again. Not necessarily a bad problem mind you, just that it'd be a repitition of this issue all over again in a few years if not next year.

Agree with your point. Not sure there's anything in the rumour tbh - AC Milan and Liverpool are in for him too - could just be his agent is trying to raise his profile.

Apparently been linked previously but a good article on Savic a CM who plays for Lazio

Looks like Swansea are interested in taking Tammy on loan next season...Paul Clement worked with him when he was at Chelsea...think that would be a good fit...

Jordan Amavi has said he wants to leave Villa for a top team. Would be great at Chelsea. Sadly don't think Chelsea would ever look at someone like him. Will be a fantastic signing for whichever team lands him.

The guy seems to be very highly rated by fans of Serie A. But any midfielders from Serie A usually has teething issues at first in the Prem

Doubt it, Soton might be his best bet tho or Everton if he wants to take the step up
