Call me crazy but I feel we have a lot of in house cleaning up to do before we make any more signings. 

Malang Sarr could be used next season in a mascot capacity perhaps? He could do well as our Stamford. IF we cannot get a buyer for Kepa he could be utilised as a "Bridget"? Just a thought on our excess players.

I guess Enzo is waiting to see what he has got in pre-season and then there will be a lot of loans and a few sales.

I really rate him, Would be a great addition to the team if we can sell that lump Lukaku.

Julian Alvarez (F) Manchester City have told Bayern Munich, PSG, Chelsea, Atletico Madrid and Barcelona that Julian is NOT available. 

 

Alvarez wants more game time and could try to force a move.

I can't remember the exact salary, but Sarr is being paid more than lots of other Chelsea players.

He's on more than Maresca and I doubt Maresca even knows who he is. Poch didn't.

He could be the most expensive mascot of all time. Another first for blue.co.

Could want what palmer got. 

Off the bench and actual game time. He's a sub for haaland if and when pep uses a striker.

Might be irrelevant though, he's in the racist insta-vid with stupid Enzo junior!

Ggrrrr, autocorrect, I give up

If we can keep the players we already have fit this season, I won't be too bothered about not making marquee signing.

We still don't know how good this squad is because we have never really had the opportunity to see the best of it.

Colwill, Chilwell, James, Lavia, Chukwuemeka and Nkunku, If these players stay fit all season, it would feel like 6 new signings.  

I don't actually remember lavia playing...

So much so his YouTube highlights clip is 10 seconds long, banging in a goal against us for Southampton. I am praying he stays fit cos I do think he is a good player, but currently he's the only player who highlights reel is a gif file.

Maresca advising new signing Marc Guiu to go out on loan to Españyol. He doesn't rate him for first team playing time.

I thought the Twatterati said he was for the first team? 🤔

That is what I thought too.  But. . .who knows. It will be interesting to see who Maresca keeps around and who he lets go.

 

 

Newcastle United have apparently made contact with Chelsea over a move for winger Noni Madueke.

If Guiu goes on loan we'll need to get another first team striker in thats for sure.

Shame about Noni - he looks a good player and could be a world beater if he keeps progressing the way he has done. I'd keep him for another season and move him on when Estevao arrives.

Mason Mount looks like he’s leaving, would anyone take him back?

Not sure what he'd bring to the midfield except more injuries or he'll recover his best form as seen when with us. Always time for Mason Mount, Good player but think injuries have wrecked him.

Imagine Mount back at Chelsea, and say ' finally I am home' on his first re-visit to the dressing room 😅

Billy Gilmour . . .looking through Billy gilmour's eyes. Conte wants to take him to Napoli.  Big Rom and Little Billy. Maybe Napoli would want mild Mason Mount?

Injuries aside, I think United realised that Mason is maybe not that good.

 

Randal Kolo Muani --- 25 year old striker. PSG want Osimhen. Randal will become surplus. Atletico Madrid may offer a way out for Randal. Chelsea have been offered Randal.  Not sure how much PSG want for him, but they paid €80 million for him last year.

Not the way they were playing him when he was actually fit. He was never simply an out and out midfielder which is where they played him. He was, for want of a better description, a roving utility getting all over the paddock. Whether he burned out, whether injuries caught up with him, I don't know.

I think it was mental health problems, it all started going wring when his girlfriend left him.. he never recovered

I would be happy with Kolo Muani if it meant we offloaded Lukaku. I think Maresca could work well with Kolo Muani.
