How many attacking mids will we be linked when the problem is we need a striker who can score and a DM who can defend ..

🚨 Chelsea are at work in the market. Christopher Vivell is pushing for #RBLeipzig midfielder Dominik Szoboszlai. Ongoing contacts between the parties to close the deal. It's a full-blown blitz by Chelsea that could close the transaction in the next few days (TMW) #CFC

Another central attacking midfielder option won't hurt I guess ... LOL

Potter's preferred 1-3-6-0 formation is taking shape ! Embrace the project !

He can play on the left wing as well. lol.

 

Carney Chukwuemeka, Mason Mount, Nkunku, Jao Felix, Kai Havertz, Andrey Santos, Hakim Ziyech, Mykhailo Mudryk, Omari Hutchinson, Christian Pulisic, Noni Madueke. . . .oh and Raheem Sterling.  CHO is still on the books.

Some of these lads are moving on.  Some will go on loan.

My guess is that as well as losing the obvious, Pulisic and Ziyech,  that we are losing either Mount or Sterling or both.

AC Milan are interested in a number of Chelsea players and Ruben Loftus-Cheek is on that list. I guess he could also be another Attacking mid? Maybe, as he was once played there. - 25m euros (£22.1m) is the price apparently.

Think we'll be there to be taken to the cleaners cos everybody knows we have to sell. Potter is struggling to coach this many apparently 

I see that Santos has been selected for the full Brazilian squad. That might just tip the scales for his work permit in the summer

Iirc he will get it regardless as he will be playing in the brazilian first tier league for the remainder of the season/year (not sure how long was the loan), so that will give him the remaining points. But obviously a great feat to be selected at this point in his career. 

#Chelsea are still scouting Borussia Monchengladbach midfielder Manu Kone ahead of the summer window.

The relevant parties are said to be in advanced negotiations ahead of a summer move, although it does not state whether it would be a permanent or temporary basis.

Jose Enrique spilled the news, who works for the same agency as Gravenberch.

Probably a lot of Muani.

Is bobby firmino not available?

Was thinking that.

Probably going to get slaughtered for this but if he's willing to move to another English club I'd certainly enquire. Plus his record against Arsenal is almost as good as Drogba's which is a bonus.

Bin Felix, sign Gavi. Thank me later Todd 

Alban Lafont from Nantes as a GK. 

Top goalkeeper, 24 yrs old. One of the best GK in Ligue 1. Won't cost much as his contract expires in 2024. 

We should sign him ASAP.

It was between him and Maignan for me, would be a very good shout. Seems like a good alternative as Maignan is approaching 28 and also will go for a huge fee

Sell half the team to recoup 200-300m.

We need to get some cash back first before we even think of adding new guys in

He's essentially what Maignan was for Lille before Milan snapped him up. 

Lafont would be a very smart buy.

Interesting.

@BordeauxBlueyour thoughts?

I don't watch Nantes much if at all. 

Asked around a little, nothing but positive reports on the guy from my Nantes supporting mate. 

A real gem of French football hopes at Toulouse and Fiorentina from what I gather from the people I trust.
