Are there some players who might be available that are going under the radar we should be looking at?

I've got one... and he did well today....

Eddie Nketiah

Arsenal were asking £25M last summer for him when he was a backup. They failed to transfer him and failed to sign him and now he is a FREE AGENT next month. 9 goals this season in all comps and has not played much. Wonder if he prefers a nicer part of London?

Dwight McNeill Burnley

Michael Olise  Palace

Joao Pedro   Watford

Renan Lodi   Ath Madrid

👍

Eriksen is currently going to be available on a free and is the type of player we lack. We have a habit of taking form players from those horrible north London sh*tholes and giving them careers they deserve. On that note might as well take Lacazette on a free too 

Nketiah isn’t good enough to start for us and I’m hoping we keep Broja. To your question though:

Michael Olise, Rafael Leao, Paulo Dybala

If we're going to be getting shot of either Werner, Pulisic or Ziyech then go for Dembele, Also Eriksen, Kessie, Boubacar Camara are also on a free... Not sure if the latter two have signed pre contracts elsewhere though.... Get rid of Malang Sarr for a fee and bring in Camara an upgrade in my opinion and can play at the back or as a DM... 

Why not try and hijack Harland or Mbappe...if the new owners are serious that would be one hell of a statement.

Adeyemi at Salzburg looks a promising forward as well

 

We have Olise's brother in the academy, good bargaining chip I'd say 

 

Want some physicality back in this side - the likes of Essien, Ballack, Ivanovic, Mikel, JT, Drogs, Costa.  Need a solid and quick defender that can ruffle most to allow Reece to play RB (in a back four), and someone like Rice in the middle.  Tired of us looking light.  Appreciate Rice is not under the radar.

Ashley young, Thibaut Courtois, Harry Maguire, Peter crouch,  the real Timo Werner, and Stormzy

Broja is clear of Nketiah

Dwight McNeil - LWB. If Burnley go down could get him cheap.

Bremer - CB. Looks the aggressive CB we need to replace Rudiger. His ability to play out from the back has question marks though.

Adeyemi - ST. Destined to make it at a big club in the next few years. Think his career path is already laid out for him though, he'll get a dirt cheap transfer to Leipzig for a couple years then Bayern will buy him. 

Nkunku - CM/CAM/Wing. Not really under the radar but is apparently available for about £25m for some bizarre reason. 

Gravenberch - CM. He'll inevitably end up at a big team in the next year or two, not really seen any concrete links to any teams though. Might be able to jump the gun and get him early. Probably going to go Utd with Ten Haag and replaces Pogba. 

Ćaleta-Car - CB. Had a really good season, depends if we're playing back four or back three next season. Realistically probably not better than Colwill.

A proper CDM is the one we really need, Ibrahim Sangaré from PSV could be a good value signing after the year he's had as an alternative to Rice.

Djed Spence for right back/wing back. Caused us problems in the cup. United interested for around £20m. I think he would be a great signing.

Michael Olise apparently has a £35m buy out clause. Fantastically gifted player. One we let get away.

Gravengerch is going to bayern munich for a ridiculously low fee. 

If that Nkunku price is correct he is a must buy. I read Leipzig wanted €100m.

Do you know what the fee is? Only thing i've seen for Gravenberch is links to Madrid.

No way does Nkunku go for €100m. 

His current deal expires in 2024 so he is heading towards the awkward 2 year mark where the club either has to sell or risk losing him next summer on a massively reduced price. 

Reckon we can do €50-60 million.

We should be going after him right now imo he's the next Henry.. I would even unload RLC to Palace to help swing the deal. And replace RLC with a WC midfield playmaker, or gamble with Gallagher, or better still both.

Ive always wondered why a bigger team hasnt gone in for Andrea Belotti from Torino. 28 years old and quite consistent. Could bag a few goals playing in a better team. Just tell me if im talking sh*te 😂

Ajax want €30m, Bayern have so far offered €23m.

30m is an absolute steal, surprised more clubs aren't jumping at the chance and offering more.

Eriksen - Available on a free. 

Dembele - Available on a free. 

Cucurella - Back up LB/LWB and LCB in a back 3. Wouldn't be cheap for a rotational player. 

Raphinha - Depends if Leeds can stay up or not, and what Barcelona do. But has been Leeds best player by far this season with a consistent goal threat. Offers something our wingers don't at the moment, and PL proven. 

Olise - Very talented young winger. May be a bit early for him to come in a be a regular starter, especially considering the inconsistency of our wide options upfront. But one to watch. 

Max Aarons - Can play rb and lb, played a lot of senior football considering he's only 22 years old. 

Conor Gallagher is the first name that comes to mind. And Levi Colwill. Not meeting the criteria of this thread but we have 2 very promising players in our system we probably want to include in the first team.

I would also check Ivan Toney (made a thread into rumours). His numbers are very good in terms of goal involvement and especially winning duels both aerial and on the ground. Already 26 yrs old but would be a good back up to Kai and Rom.

Can't see Eriksen coming if we persist as a back 3 as neither him or Lukaku cover much ground. Eriksen would work in back 4 and could provide Lukaku with better service.

Cucurella looks a good player, don't see him coming here to play on the bench though suspect there is a question mark as to whether Chilwell will fully recover. 

Think both Raphina and Olise lack something to be Chelsea players.

Haven't seen much of Dembele.

Someone sign me as a scout ASAP.

Presumably you'll recommend him to play in the two-man pivot alongside Bakayoko ? :-)
