You have to think that it's bullsh*t, no sane club would let him go.

Dimarzio is rarely wrong aswel, im worried

If i was to quote all the ones he broke first i would be here all day

Not saying I buy this, but I wouldnt be at all surprised. Thought when Conte took over that Zouma wasnt someone he was going to rate. Conte has always preferred ball playing centrebacks, Zouma is as far from that as possible for a professional footballer. Cant see it happening without AT LEAST two more players coning in

I've posted 7 from one club he got wrong, 7. He isn't this all knowing guru that some believe, he gets as many wrong as right using the usual scattergun approach all the Twitter ITK's do.

A broken clock is right 730 times a year.

To be fair though, no way of knowing he was wrong. Not really any definite statements there. If DiMarzio confirms it, its almodt a lock. Very rarely have I seen somethibg not come off when he confirms a deal

I gave up on that approach after my 'Scott Brown to Man Utd' rumour from a couple of years ago went generally ignored.

cant see it happening without at least two defensive signings coming in. An option to buy is just terrible business, unless we set it at 50m.

He didn't say any of those would actually happen. Most deals don't.

There's no chance we will lose Zouma. 

There's more chance of Eva Caneiro returning to the club than Zouma leaving!

 

Di Marzio talking utter bollox as usual. 

This would be utter madness. Having said that, it is possible, we are after all talking about the same people that loaned Traore to Ajax.

There could be some truth to this - given the intensity Conte expects of the players perhaps he doesn't want to risk Zouma. By sending him on loan Zouma can recover without the pressure/risking further injury.

It would be completely madness if we let him go on loan. If Conte doesn't want risk Zouma, then he should keep him all wrapped up in a blanket until he's ready to go, do we really believe Schalke would care about Zouma's well being? If he's injured again, they will just send him back to us.

Utter bollox, we have no defenders he is one of the best young cb's in the world, he is touted as chelsea's CB for the next 10 years...if they want to protect his injury rotate him with JT works for both why give him to another club who don't care about him and also why the buy option in this scenario, only possible scenario is he hasn't recovered properly and they believe he never will and we have a CB coming in..I'd be heartbroken if this one was true

If he was playing for a serie A side, the club would probably be bidding 45m for him. 

Better not be true...

Considering Conte seems desperate to get CB's in, I hardly think he's about to let one leave. MAYBE if we had signed a new centre back already, but definitely not before that. It's utter madness. So for that reason, I'm calling bullsh*t on this transfer rumour. Whether Zouma is his 'type' of CB or not is pretty irrelevant when we've got no-one else.

Agreed. The only reason this could possibly go down is if we had someone big ready to sign on the dotted line to supplement defence. Even then I find this highly unlikely, he is the future, the kid has the potential to have it all (if injury hasn't taken his potential away).

Bonucci didn't play for Juve this weekend? 

Edit: I take this back, just read on a Juve forum that his son underwent emergency surgery, hopefully everything's okay...

Edited August 29, 20169 yr by the special one

He's not the most technical of them all but with his pace and physicality, he's still a very good one, as CB goes, I think he's our best overall..  I can understand, for once, where conte is coming from if he's not sure about a young defender who's been on the long lay off to be effective for him...

 

 

 

If the only bit of business we do in the next two days is loan Zouma out....
