I'd take that deal in a heart beat. 

Thing with Dest is that he isn't the greatest defensively but going forward he can be useful as he can play either wingback role.

Neto is actually a very good keeper. Dest im not too sure about. Either way we dont require either of them so its a pointless trade. They can give us Gavi or Frankie de Jong instead. 

If Neto is so good why is he not their number 1?

Didn't we say the same about Kovacic in a "if he isn't first choice he must be crap" line of reasoning? It's hard to keep a very good back-up goalkeeper happily on the bench when his colleague is trusted more. I know nothing about Neto, but that may be the case here. He might actually be too good for 2nd choice (wishful thinking  ).

Ah Dave that is a sad way for your time here to end. Normally so good at pens, head firmly messed with I think, Roman and your move to Barca.

Took balls to step up, but maybe you should have know you were not up to it.

Watched the end of season presentation and it didn't feel like it was his last game, for Rudiger there was a bit of emotion there, feels like he is the only who is certain to leave atm.

Barcelona are not renewing Dani Alves' contract. 

Azpilicueta inbound. 

 

Chelsea agree to let César Azpilicueta go for €3m to Barcelona 😢

But surely this will be a bring and buy sale for us.  

 

Boehly is in Barcelona to speak with Laporta on potential deals. (Azpi/Alonso)

- Romero 

Boehly filmed arriving in Barcelona earlier today. Apparently Azpi, Alonso and Frenkie De Jong is on the agenda.

Even though it would potentially give Barca the funds to get Raphina done FDJ would be a huge signing. Might, just might sway MDL aswell.

lol Boehly flys into bomb barca for a bargain...Blimey

I wonder if that is the plan?

What if Tuchel/Boehly are prioritising De Jong over Raphinha, and are willing to work with Barca on the matter?

Our team needs De Jong more than Raphinha so it is possible. 

Head says he's there to flog azpi and alonso, Heart says hes also there to bring dembele and de jong home

So weird but cool seeing our actual owner flying about to clubs to do deals

Hes like the extreme Harry Redknapp lol

Romano claiming he is just there to introduce himself to Laporta and to establish a relationship. 

Many topics! Romano helping barca make utd shiz the bed

Also Frenkie can play CB. Obviously long term he'll be totally wasted there but it could buy us a year to re access the market (if MDL falls through even with FDJ coming) and then he fully replaces Jorgi in DLP next term.

Our Chelsea team is going to look really different with the amount of people leaving and incoming.

Did you say de Jong can play CB in pl?

Azpi probably want to go back to Spain and I am happy for him. He has given us so much so I hope the club will allow him to move wherever he want to go.

Everything doesn't work in the PL until it does (Pep's football, false 9s, Milner at LB, Moses at RWB, two number 10s playing in 8).

I wouldn't even want it as a week by week thing just an option there thing that saves us from panic buying.

Explained in @EsportsRAC1 🎙 @laiacopa 📌 Azpilicueta, very close to being a new Barça player. Strengthening the sides is a priority. Work continues for Marcos Alonso. 📌 Koundé walks away, the center is close to Chelsea.

The center is close to Chelsea  Well, it is SW6 

What I can't work out is that we have said Azpi can't leave until we have a replacement and then Spuds go and sign Djed Spence and we don't even try to compete. 12m I think. Crazy
