Is Pereira being moved on and replaced? Is Castagne a better player or prospect? Hmmmmm....@Finney Is Back just meant Brendan Rogers in Trentham Gardens. He said their talking to Thomas Castagne
Yeah Chillwell is weak defensively IMOThey’ve added Chilwell and Silva to strengthen there.
One thing is buying a shed load of expensive players, another thing is getting them to gel and function as a team. That rarely happens instantly, and will hopefully not this time either.This is a huge signing. Chelsea could be league contenders this season.
Or are they doing that sensible thing and looking to have two good players challenging for a position?Is Pereira being moved on and replaced? Is Castagne a better player or prospect? Hmmmmm....
I think the ‘ITK’ said we were quoted ‘a reasonable fee that was less than £20m‘. Though I’m not sure that ‘dragon’ fella has ever got anything right before anyway?Seems King is now the back up striker we are after. One of the ITK reckons we were quoted 20m and Levy has offered just over half that. (He's apparently out of contract in 10 months)

I wonder whether we might try for Giroud again. He wouldn't cost much, would allow us to loan out Parrott but wouldn't block his opportunities after that.
What’s happened to Ryan Fraser?
I am really surprised by the seemingly lack of interest in any of our fringe players. Apart from KWP, have we sold anyone yet? Have there really been no offers for Rose, CCV, Foyth, Aurier, Lamela, Gazza, , ? We surely have some deadwood to shift before we can invest in better players.
There was rumored Leeds interest in Foyth as an alternative to Ben White, but they've seemingly filled that gap by bringing in Robin Poch.
Gazza's been linked with Fulham. CCV's been linked with a couple of Champo sides. Aurier as you know has been linked with Milan, Leverkusen and Monaco.
Not much for Lamela (and to be honest, I'd like him to stay - he finally seems fit), nothing for Rose. Other than that, unsure who else we'd sell in terms of deadwood - Ndombele, probably, but we'd get no buyers for him given that he now has COVID in addition to being horrendously out of shape.
I still think we might go for him. Chelsea will need to sell, he's got PL experience and won't expect to start every game.
Given the financial hit most clubs have taken it's not that surprising. Sell before buying or sell only for a lot of clubs.I am really surprised by the seemingly lack of interest in any of our fringe players. Apart from KWP, have we sold anyone yet?

Surely not. They is far too controversial an idea. [emoji1787]Or are they doing that sensible thing and looking to have two good players challenging for a position?
