Surely it’s only injuries that are the issue. We have enough players in midfielders??

 

Kante, Jorginho,  Kovacic, RLC, Connor…and know this guy? Seems an overreaction. We should be focusing on forwards with one day of the window left.

None of them is a bonafide DM. We need one, badly.

Matic was good under Conte

Sky Sports confirming the bid, no indication how it was received by the cleaners:

"

Chelsea bid £43m for Ajax's Edson Alvarez

Chelsea have made a £43m bid for Ajax midfielder Edson Alvarez.

The club still want to sign a forward and midfielder before the transfer window closes.

Thomas Tuchel has already spent £268m this summer on players, including Wesley Fofana, Marc Cucurella, Raheem Sterling, Kalidou Koulibaly."

Apparently Edson reaction to it was to immediately put pressure on the cleaners to sell him as he will earn 4 times his wages with us and he does not know of such an opportunity will come along again. 

 

 

Looks like we are pushing for this.

 

Why 50m for this guy... How much would Tielemans cost. He is versatile and can play as a DLP or AM. I doubt Liecester price him for than 30m

don't see how they can turn that amount of money down

they have shareholders they have to account to

This isn't done though is it? I am not sure if we have even made an official bid yet, let alone whether it has been accepted

The bid is official but Ajax currently saying no more players are allowed to leave so we'll see

How come Ajax didn’t win the Champions League with all these amazing players? 

Because they're nasty self entitled buggers, that's why.

 

Glad I could clear that up.

So we're bidding on a player from a team who have just had key players sold to Utd and we think they are going to want to lose another one?

The managed to get 100m euros for Antony. What makes us think we're getting this guy?

they usually don't hinder players from joining big clubs especially not for 50 million 

No Deal:

Tielemans can't play as a CB

True but 4 key players in one window is not a good look for them.

I think it's called delusion

And desperation. We are scrambling, with just over 24 hours left, with our midfield in pieces and only one forward who can score goals, no strikers and a couple of players (Ziyech and Pulisic) desperate to leave.

Big 24 hours plus ahead. If we don't solve these problems then we are in trouble imo.

Forget about him, he’s sh*t we’ve already moved on to Ibrahim Sangaré from PSV

Honestly know nothing about him, but at this point Todd is a kid in a candy store. 

Another option is Ibrahim sangare from psv apparently

Offer them Ziyech as part of the deal, I know of a club that would be royally pissed off by that 😎

We was interested in Sangare at the beginning of the window but it all went quiet when the FDJ stuff started. Seen him on TV a couple of times and worryingly looks Baka like from what I have seen
