Good player but is he needed?

No. I thought the idea of having sporting directors build the squad was that we didnt buy system specific players which will bite us in the ass when Maresca leaves by mutual consent in october

Dewsbury-Hall is a decent player but bringing him in would seem to suggest that Cole Palmer would be turned into a right winger in Maresca's system and I don't believe we want to do that. Looks like we are after Archie Gray from Leeds as well.

Club just inquiring as they do with every breathing footballer. 

 

Chelsea want Nottingham Forest's 21-year-old Brazilian defender Murillo, who the City Ground side value at £70m, and could offer English centre-back Trevoh Chalobah, 24, as part of any deal.

Murillo has emerged as a target for Enzo Maresca, even though Chelsea’s squad already contains six centre-backs

At this rate, we (and Maresca) will all have to learn Portuguese/Spanish.

Forest are under pressure to record a trading profit between £20million and £25million by this Sunday. Forest need to raise the money or face another points deduction. He is a good CB for sure, but is he worth £70million?  Jesus! . . .He is not a Brazilian international player.   [Well Jesus IS a Brazilian international player, but i meat 'Jesus'! Exclamation. . .oh whatever, this deal is most unlikely right?].

 

He joined Notts Forrest for a fee of €12 million with an additional €3 million.

I have to say, the bloke looked like an absolute monster whenever I saw him last season. I remember having a google at some point and being shocked at his age. He seems see intelligent in how he reads the game and has got a decent turn of pace too. He's got one hell of a long ball in him too (not that Maresca will be playing many of them).

I think its easy to see his age and just see him as another young name Clearlake have plucked off of football manager but I'd be genuinely excited about him. £70m would be steep, but we've probably screwed ourselves for the next few years as every club will just refer back to what we've paid before

I also thought he looked good. I think at the right price he might be worth it, BUT we are not looking for a CB right now are we? Are we? We have 6 currently.

Also, the price. I mean if he was in the Brazil team/squad maybe, but as it stands, he is 20 million quid player tops. AND 20 million quid is still a lot of money.

 

Chelsea confirmed that Hakim Ziyech [31] has completed a permanent transfer to Galatasaray. As agreed last summer, the move has been made permanent free of charge. Galatasaray also did not pay a loan fee, either. But they did pay €3,587,500 (£3,040,925) in wages last season. That salary has now dropped to €2,850,000 (£2,415,532) for the upcoming campaign, around €54,800 (£46,450) each week.

I don’t actually know how small he is but puyol, Thiago silva, canavaro, desailly are also small for a centre back and they did alright

28m with an additional 5m in potential add-ons.

£90 odd million received from transfers so far and we still have Trev and Conor ! Maybe we won't need to sell them ?

 

Chelsea being linked with a 19 years old American left back who plays for Atlanta.

Caleb Wiley - £10m
